Ice Cube is a well known rapper, actor and businessman who helped establish the West Coast gangster rap style in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Ice Cube formed several rap groups including C.I.A and the famous N.W.A. which pioneered the hip hop genre while focusing on aggressive lyrics and beats made from samples of classic Soul and Funk records.
Ice Cube pioneered the West Coast rap movement in the late 1980s as a member of the premier Hip Hop ground N.W.A. at the time. He released incredibly political and philosophical rap records including The Predator which sold well across the USA. Ice Cube has an aggressive and pointed style and lets you know he means business. N.W.A. was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recently, a d they deserve the recognition. They were groundbreaking for the genre, and helped to plant the seed around the world.
Ice Cube released many solo albums, and has collaborated with other artists of the genre for the past 4-decades. Few hip hop artists have produced as much quality music as Ice Cube has, and few have starred in as many movies. Ice Cube played the repentant gangster "Doughboy" in the movie Boyz in the Hood and Craig in the comedy Friday. The movies Ice Cube starred in and produced featured quality Hip Hop tracks that helped polinate the genre further.
Ice Cube ushered in an aggressive and lyrical form of West Coast gangster rap. Ice Cube performed with artists who established the commerical side of Hip Hop including Ice-T, Tupac, Eazy-E and more. He supercharged the movement, and many East Coast rappers followed suit. He is still active and is amazing to see in concert. I saw him in 2007 in Portland, Oregon with Mac 10.
My Risingstar Report 9/21/2023:
I continued to add to my skill stat using music lessons and added to my Starbit collection.
My strategy of boosting my skill level while also earning more Starbits daily requires me to do missions and then follow them with a music lesson. I am level 31, so several lessons are available to me.
I plan on collecting Starbits and adding them on the Tribaldex liquidity pool for SWAP.HIVE:STARBITS pool to earn some more passive income. It's simple to do, and adds an extra dimension to the game. I will continue to buy NFT packs for the game to increase my Starbit claim value on missions. I am in the Gig Circuit and want to see what comes next.
