Is There A Rapper That Has Sold Out More Than ICE-CUBE?
How are you going to go from "cave b*tch" and "kill crakkkaz" to "are we there yet"?
Ice-cube has to be the biggest sell-out in rap history

The point in makin films, is to ACT. If he changed his stance in music, THAT would be sellin out. Dude's legacy in Hip Hop cant be touched, quit it.
Dumb ass thread.

nah my dude, you got it twisted..........
Making movies where black people are portrayed in a positive light ain't sellin out....
Cube still makes black music, writes, produces, and directs black movies, employing black actors and other black people.
Just because every product he puts out ain't gangsta don't make him a sellout. Being gangsta, being hood, being ghetto does not = being black or being real. To say he ain't real because he's making movies like "Are We There Yet" is feeding into the stereotype that black people are all ghetto, uneducated, no-good........ etc
Rap is the only profession where black people get paid for fulfilling all of the negative stereotypes society puts on them. In the real world we gotta get out there and compete for jobs and positions in society just like everybody else, these stereotypes don't help us.
Rap got ya'lls heads messed. Cube doing positive sh!t don't make him a sell out!

What is Friday after Next..... And as far as Are we there Yet, the slapstick element that the movie is wrapped in is the essence of coondom (yes a madeup word), and is a way for JewWood (hollywood), to silence/control the pseudo-militancy that he once represented (see Mos Def)
