12/28/2023 0 Comments Ice cube are we done yet![]() : There’s been talk of an NWA biopic called “Straight Outta Compton.” Has it been confirmed? CUBE: Well, you know, Hollywood, nothing is confirmed until somebody cuts a check. To me it’s my routine, do a few movies, do a record. I wasn’t hearing anything that I liked so to me it was time to get back on the mic. : What inspired this record? CUBE: Loving hip hop. Dre is going to produce some songs on this record. It’s not as heavily political as some of my other records but it’s still fun. It’s a great summer record with that California flavor. I’m worried about the new record “I Am The West” which will be out July 13th. : On another note, this is the 20th anniversary of your first solo album “AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted.” How are you celebrating? CUBE: I’m not doing a thing. : How often will we see you on the show? CUBE: Every time you miss me you’ll probably see me. We basically help him bring this to life. Ali LeRoi had the expertise in this field so we let him spearhead the project. : How involved are you in the daily? CUBE: I’m on the set all the time making sure everything goes right. Our major goal is to bring people enjoyment and make them laugh and at the end of the day if we can portray a strong positive Black family image, that’s cool too. There’s a lot of families out there that’s trying to make it work, so hopefully all that comes out positive. Do you feel the same? CUBE: To me that can never hurt. : Terry Crews spoke about how important it is to highlight a positive Black family on television with a show like this. We’ve had a couple of things that tried to get off the ground that just weren’t right and didn’t have all the pieces in place. : Had you ever considered TV before? CUBE: Oh yeah, we’ve considered it on the producing tip. Cube spoke with about the new family sitcom, his upcoming album and the ingredients of a successful marriage: : What made you make this into a sitcom ICE CUBE: We did two films and Joe Roth over at Revolution Studios asked me to do a third and I thought, artistically I want to go in a different direction and he said, ‘What about taking the role to TV and casting a different actor?’ Once we started thinking and brainstorming and got Ali LeRoi, who ran “Everybody Hates Chris” and Terry Crews agreed to play Nick, to me it was like a no-brainer. Terry Crews takes over Ice Cube’s character and Essence Atkins reinterprets Long’s role. Ice Cube has many leading roles in his lifetime as a father, husband, rapper, movie star, and now executive producer to the new TBS sitcom “Are We There Yet?” which takes off where his two movies of similar names (one was “Are We Done Yet?”) co-starring Nia Long left off. ![]()
