ICE CUBE “HYPOCRITICAL”?

by ballin32 (08/02/2007 - 15:43)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ICE CUBE AND HIS LATEST MOVIES?
The front man for the Killers, Brandon Flower says, "I don't necessarily have a problem with the culture of hip-hop, and it’s the hypocrisy of people within it I can't bare.”Look at Ice Cube now, for example. He's in some awful kids' movie, playing happy families with a couple of 10-year-olds. This is the man who was one of the founding members of N.W.A. I just don't get the turnaround."

MY OPINION:

I, personally agree with Flowers.  I, myself like Brandon Flowers had also taking a liking to eighties rap collective N.W.A., which was founded by Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. They paved the way for future hip hop artists. However I don’t understand how you could go from being co- founder of N.W.A up there with one of  LA’s finest Dr. Dre , to making movies like Are We There Yet?, Are We Done Yet?, as well as Torque. Not saying that these movies weren’t entertaining; however Ice Cube I do not think was fit for these parts. Ice Cube turned from hip-hop pioneer to Hollywood actor, branding his move "hypocritical".
