| Ice Cube - O'Shea Jackson |
One of the founding fathers of gangsta rap, Ice
Cube (O'Shea Jackson) brought his brutally honest style back to The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC with WC (William Loshawn Calhoun, Jr.) and crew. Ice Cube has been on the
scene for over 25 years, since blowing music fans out of the water in 1987 with
the infamous rap group N.W.A. alongside fellow rap legend, Dr. Dre. When he left N.W.A and become a solo artist
in 1989, Ice Cube secured his status as one of the most controversial lyricists
of all time. He has been accused of being
overly violent, racist, and misogynistic.
On the other hand, he has been labeled as being one of the greatest
story-telling MC’s of all time. He has
collaborated with an uncountable list of other talent along the way. Ice Cube has also recognized success with his
clothing line, as well as acting, and screenwriting. He starred in the early nineties classic, Boys In Da Hood. O'Shea Jackson also co-wrote and starred in the classic Friday movie series, as well as had
starring roles in other blockbuster hits such as Anaconda, Three Kings, and Barbershop.
Ice Cube broke away from his
“gangsta” image over the years to produce and star in child oriented film and
TV such as Are We There Yet?

Despite his variety
in artistic endeavors, the Ice Cube live performance in 2013 has just as much
attitude as it ever had. A lot of the
content from his live performance came from his new album that just came out
this year, entitled Everythang's Corrupt. This new album just goes to show how
immortalized he has become in the rap industry. After all this time in the
limelight, he has not forgotten his roots as an originator of gangsta rap that
has influenced the majority of other rappers that came after him. Ice Cube is on a musical hiatus for the rest
of 2013, but be sure to look for other projects that he is working on,
including the final segment in the Friday
series, Last Friday.
