o shea jackson has been an entertainer since he started rappin' under the rap name ice cube :stopitslime:

it's always been entertainment. hip hop and rap music is just that. some of it is a reflection of life, inspried by life, or exaggeration of topics but at the end of the day it's entertainment

ice cube ain't no damn malcolm x :comeon:
Then ice cube shouldn't have came off like he did...because even though it's entertainment...his content about the state of black America was not. It's the reason why nikkas felt him...had we seen the transformation beforehand those albums wouldn't sell the same:francis:

Just cuz I'm black (and love being so) doesn't mean I keep up with every black nationalism leader that speaks...

at the end of the day it's entertainment, you can't except anyone who's in entertainment to be on no shyt like that.
that's not to say cube didn't/doesn't believe or respect a lot of the things that someone like him was all about. obviously he was influenced by the movement
but cube is a rapper, an artist, an actor; an entertainer first and foremost.
at the end of the day, cube is in a business where he tryin' to make money all the while express himself however he may feel and it just so happened that a lot of his beliefs or thoughts where very simliarily to the nation of islam

come on now, y'all can't possibly really have thought cube was malcolm x or louis farrakhan. if that were the case, bruh would've quit rappin' and never looked back

He is an entertainer I get that...and his success shouldn't be held back because he grew as a man...but part of the double edge of using that black panther angle for the love is u lose a lot of fan base when u switch. Will Smith, LL...they don't have this issue. He wasn't a panther with NWA...but when he went solo he switched to secure his fan base...but our issues as a people shouldn't be used to increase your ticket sales if its not authentic...he could have just stayed gangsta
