Years ago I was a music therapist at a boys' school. The kids were all special education. I wrote a letter to Ice Cube and told him that he had a lot of fans there. Ice Cube wrote back with an autographed picture, signing it, "To my Home Boys at [school's name]. The students were so psyched by that. They were jumping around saying, "He called us his Homeboys!" He made them so happy. Ice Cube can do no wrong in my eyes.
This is the best thing ever I'm sure you made such a difference in their lives. Thank you for sharing this glimmer of love with us ❤ Ice Cube is the GOAT. I'm so glad he made the boys feel special & that you took the time to write to him so awesome!.❤
Yeah I think it's pretty dope that he said he's a human put pin cushion and that he would have taken it if they just said it was safe and he's all for pushing it
As a 51 year old single mom, I still blow away my adult kids that I can sing all the lyrics to NWA and many Ice Cube songs! I love you Ice, keep speaking truth to power!! The love we all have for you outweighs anything the "gatekeepers"can do. We will raise hell! We love you!!
I'm in my 50s, A hardcore reggae music fan when reggae used real instruments and Ice Cube was one of 3 rappers that got me into hip hop. Cube is one of the most real people in hip-hop and delivers his lyrics with clarity, unlike many modern mumble rappers.
I already loved Ice Cube as a musician, actor, and genuine person, that only increased after watching this. He's the whole package: talent, wisdom, authenticity, and good will. We need more celebrities like him.
Am I the only one that loves Cube just for respecting peoples time. That’s a man I can hang with. Anyone who respects you enough to be early starts out 10 points ahead in my book.
What Ice Cube mentions about record labels and social engineering is spot on. And I saw this happening while working in radio. Certain songs HAD to be played over 100 times a day. If a song requested by a listener was NOT on that list, it would NOT get played. The programming is real.
Program them to do what though? I agree to an extent but I do not think Jewish record producers are pushing black rappers to put out really violent lyrics in an attempt to tear their community down .
@@brianmeen2158ewish producers care about money they don’t care how they achieve it …in their own words..”we also gotta eat” they don’t give a shit about the audience nor the artist

Recap by Tammy AI
What Bill Mar said about Ice Cube living a scandal free life is so true. He's pretty much an anomaly in his arena. Ice Cube is spot on about being clear on why you are in showbiz & working on avoiding "pitfalls" in the industry...Cube is wise👌🏽💯❤️🙏🏽
You know the evils of this world have worked hard trying to compromise him but failed. He’s not for sale his values are nonnegotiable. Not many people are like that anymore.
How many x is Bill Maher* going to mispronounce “Latin X”? He pronounces it La-teenex as if it were a facial tissue. It’s Latin-ecks, boomer. Also, nobody is even using this yet he b!tches about it more than a RW’er would if ppl actually did use it! Bill is over the hill. Totally lost touch.
His lyrics are EVIL AND BEYOND SCANDAL FREE. He EXPLOITED THE BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITY by PROMOTING BLACK ON BLACK GENOCIDE AND HOES. You must be on drugs.
Thanks for having Cube on. Wish there were more people like him - inside and outside of the entertainment industrial complex. What a wonderful human being.
@@DMafia1984 There are people like me (55 year old father) who have no time to follow anyone. I know none of cubes songs and actually did not see his shows. Now I happen to see this and think he is cool. Not saying anything negative about his shows or music, I am a person who could be in an elevator with a famous person and not even know it. Trust me I am not the only one, we are out here.
So much respect for Ice Cube, Mr. O’Shea Jackson, Sr.! Thank you so much for being brave and honest, letting the world know what’s going on with so many different topics. We need more people like you to stand up!
We need our young ppl to raise up n see what is going around them , and most of all save the seed , so it can too grow , we need the harvest. Remember The Isley Brothers song, Harvest for the world, listen to that true song , will make u think ❤❤❤😊
I never knew how smart this man was. I now realize that he speaks slowly because he puts a lot of thought into what he's going to say, and does it in such a way that it would be difficult for people to misunderstand or take him out of context.
Cube grew with both parents in the household and he was a student at Arizona State University when he first started in NWA. He's a prolific poet and writer. He was given a lot of consciousness by his father. They're like best friends. That's how he knew his business with NWA was screwed up. He's always been a bright kid and now intelligent grown man.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! Cube is everything I thought and more. I've never seen him in a long one like this. I love to see how proud he is as a dad and what well-rounded children he and his wife raised. That's so hard to do these days, AND in Hollywood. Good on them! I'm so proud of that brother. ❤
Taking your time and thinking before speaking is something I'm trying to instill in my daughter right now. Ice Cube has always been this way in interviews. I believe it's an important attribute to have when having conversation of any kind, especially today when people are waiting to hear you say something "wrong" than anything else.
Lol you can get caught up because the interviewer is intentionally throwing loaded questions and trying to provoke some sort of response, or from being too comfortable with the interviewer and letting your guard down. Ice Cube remembers to stay cautious in what he says in both situations.
Ice Cube once said on Graham Norton about Straight Outta Compton not winning any awards that it's like complaining you don't have enough icing on your cake. Hip hop is really underrated for the beautiful metaphors and the wisdom in it. He really is a clever dude.
I love Cube. Anybody who can make a great album like America's Most Wanted and a great movie like Friday is a true artist. Smart kid he was. Good soul.
To be fair, I've listened to "Straight Outta Compton" and I kind of doubt that statement. I don't think you write lyrics like that to fly under the radar.
Why do you care about that? This smoking weed thing is cult like anymore. I smoke and just because someone else does means nothing to me. I'm sure plenty of pedophiles smoke, doesn't mean they're in the club, unless you're a stoned liberal then you find a way to accept them, call them minor attracted or some lib nonsense like that.
Cube is the man, no doubt. Give Bill some props for having the show and letting Cube have his say. His words are not welcome far too often, and in far too many places.Thanks to Bill and Cube!
@@HUGDABLOCKTVyou're full of shit. Cube has never called himself a victim. I've never seen such a great interview. He clearly understands everything that is going on around him. Hes absolutely correct about police officers having a job they shouldn't do everyday. Entertainment companies owning prisons. There are clear and present dangers of conflict of interest.
Ice Cube always looks fresh in his face and younger every time. And so easy going. I love his voice too! All the badass OGs should follow his lead...there isn't a damn thing wrong with being cool and comfortable.
Cube dropping gems starting around 18:00 about how the music industry REALLY WORKS. Its funny how he getting push back from someone who isn't in the industry smh!
@@Dl824-cd I wouldn't call it real pushback though. Just playing Devils advocate and looking at it from a different angle. That is needed from every issue otherwise we have people pushing agenda and not actual discussion. Ice cube was cool about it all and got his word out, and people thinking. Which is what matters.
What's so heroic about the man? Genuinely curious. He's lived an incredibly privileged life and instead of using his wealth to help his " community" , he spends it on weed and cars.
@@kingdavid5932 I mean ok - but what makes him a hero? Lots of people set an even better example and use their voice and they’re not considered heroes…who did he run into a burning building to save? What community or family did he rescue? He’s rapper that makes movies…so?
Cube, I'm so grateful your voice is so loud far and wide right now. this is exactly what we need to hear. what a gift to the universe this man is. as are we all! one ❤
Thank you Bill Maher for giving Uncle Cube a platform to speak his side. Even though other ppl might not agree, we still appreciate you. Love you Uncle Club Cube.
@@EpicHashTimelol. Except your definition of a conspiracy theorist is based on what the establishment says. Any reasonable questions asked are defined as conspiracy theory. 😂 Ya ok.
To be early is being on time, being on time is late and being late is unacceptable. Ice Cube is my favourite rapper as he has been & is as real as real can get. No BS with him, tells it as it is. LEGEND
Two significant intellects with plenty to say in a space where respect is both shown and graciously received. A couple of brilliant cats having a sincere conversation providing an open invitation to those of us who appreciate a profound meeting of minds. Thank you Gentleman...appreciate the both of you.
@@WhiteWashed-o3s Recognizing 'intellect' is tricky. Need to have some to see one. Which, I am certain you are aware as the comment above was less referring to a lack of "intellect' than commentary on the flavor. I know...sometimes it IS a challenge to be both smart and nice. Especially when a quick quip might get a chuckle.
It’s so good to see someone who has so much respect for others almost school Bill on open mindedness and acceptance. I saw Jordan Peterson blow Bills mind with relationship issues and marriage. Best shit I’ve seen in a while - it’s better than an overproduced TV show with all the commercial shit .
I'm a mostly conservative 52 year old order off the menu kinda guy....been a bill Maher fan as well as Ice cube 80s rap fan since the beginning.....grew up with these guys ....Keep up the great work to both
This was a great interview. Great to to see Ice Cube relaxed and in his element. I just wish that he was able to finish a thought without being interrupted.
Maher is incapable of doing a proper interview! The A-hole overtalks his guests! They're more like hostages trapped listening to Mahers egomaniac shtick!
whsat gate keepers this mf expose... lol. and what club you think he "not" part of. wit his hollywood ass. ? i need yall to stop falling in love with marketed personalties.. even if those images are solid af... and be mre criticial when analyzing peoples motives.. i really need yall to do this lol
I’m supporting Cube 100% but I highly doubt he will actually expose the names of the gatekeepers - he will continue to speak in code because he knows if he tries to go in on the machine - he will lose
Why not? They're both in the Democrat plantation and can't get off of it. Couple guys who talk a big game but when push comes to shove they still support the nonsense that they claim to be against
Bill Maher is just trying to take the temperature of the room in having a sit down with IC. I wouldn’t smoke nor drink anything with Bill Maher, and I would bring my own water.
I promised myself I will watch this episode ten times.... this is great. I don't know how to say "down to earth" without saying that... I was fortunate to make more than enough cash than I need, and the way this man handles it is an example to me. It is a constant fight against myself to not let it change me too much. I didn't change anything big in my life, got a working car that will not break down, trusty, and my old couch was gone it had holes in it, when my good fortune came after years of working at it, it came almost all at once, so it took me by surprise bc there were many months I thought it would never happen, keeping faith doing what you love and like and thinking it can make some money is hard for that amount of time... anyhow, I digress, I will watch this episode ten times, promise. Lots of lessons here. Thanks Ice.
@@chriswoods662 That test is already passed... as I said I have ben broke broke, now I am almost the same person, though I am not against change for fear of change, but I would like to consciously choose my changes, not let outside power change me, like all the attention I get now that wasn't there before, or buy a Buch of crap that will "show the world" I made it... money is just security it seems bc so far I cannot think of anything MORE I need to update, I was glad when I got rid of the couch though, my NEEDS were and continue to be minimal, and I have so far resisted my WANTS... another thing I changed is I got better food IN GENERAL now, even better cookies, I think that is a luxury a person owes to himself for health and wellbeing in general, I was eating WHATEVER I could find around or afford. I know anything is POSSIBLE but I don't think it is PROBABLE, my income has increased a lot as I said, but my NEEDS are basically the same. I cannot imagine what billionaires do with all that cash, I am beginning to see why they give it all away, and STILL the main account keeps growing!!! You also don't want to give it tot the wrong people, it will destroy them, thus doing bad trying to do good. Good luck.

Ice Cube is brilliant! Love his ideas, humility, work ethic, wit, compassion and willingness to collaborate with others for the highest purpose. Critical, independent thoughts so brilliantly articulated in an effort to improve society and create harmony. He is a National Treasure. Extraordinary human being.
@@michaeljohnson6976 I thought the same thing. Smoking and drinking aren't exactly things to admire about anyone, and I've spent 19 years under the influence.
My Uncle said that the only reason someone is late is because there was something more important to do than being on time. If it’s a matter of realizing your dream or not, you’d navigate the dregs of hell to make it on time. He had a very good point. It only took me 20 years to internalize that advice.
For people wondering why ice cube is doing all these podcast, he said it in a video. Nba is doing the Big 3 dirty by not letting sponsors help out the big 3 and nba owners invest in the big 3. Ice cube said he was going to go around and let it be known
15:17 learn from each other. Yes; Mean girls do not consider the intentions; they assume the machinations of everyone. Be Nice + kindly educate. We all have far more in common than differences. ❤
Cube is so eloquently spoken and respectful, all while sharing his opinion and facts. Maher should take note .... Cube 2024 Protect this man at all costs

So grateful this came together. Ice Cube = super-grounded & self-aware. Appreciate you lighting it up w/ Bill and dropping knowledge - great takes! ✌️💗 Eric

I really like cube. He’s so down to earth and real he could sit and talk with anyone. Money didn’t mess his moral compass up like it does some people. His folks did a good job. He’s comfortable in his skin because he knows what he’s about.
One of the reasons I love this pod is the actual Club Random studio. It looks cozy and hospitable and it makes the interviews that much more enjoyable. Also, the sound quality in the room is superb, and the audio is rendered in a very warm tone, one that some sound engineers like myself can truly appreciate.
@IceCube-dc8ws we are going to rewrite Jann Wenner’s book about rock & roll philosophers and you are #1 on the list followed by Stevie Wonder. Sadly, Prince is not around to be in the book- got lots of female names too-- Jann Wenner just revealed the REAL mentality that festers behind phony wokism- racism & sexism. Go Ice!

@@jakez1930yeah and the plastics surgery doesn’t help
Cube is the man, no doubt. Give Bill some props for having the show and letting Cube have his say. His words are not welcome far too often, and in far too many places.Thanks to Bill and Cube!
Ice cube is a legend who has the most dynamic fan base ever.
Ice Cube is a genius. And genuinely humble.
It's him and Bach in my view
He’s a professional victim a lot of times. Maher is full of ish on a lot of issues
Citation needed.
@@HUGDABLOCKTVyou're full of shit. Cube has never called himself a victim. I've never seen such a great interview. He clearly understands everything that is going on around him. Hes absolutely correct about police officers having a job they shouldn't do everyday. Entertainment companies owning prisons. There are clear and present dangers of conflict of interest.
Cringe
"Today was a good day" is one of the best raps I've ever heard. Well played Mr Cube.
I love Ice Cube! One of my favorite rappers, and a great all-around person!
Ice Cube always looks fresh in his face and younger every time. And so easy going. I love his voice too! All the badass OGs should follow his lead...there isn't a damn thing wrong with being cool and comfortable.
He reminds me of Helen from Drake and Josh. They both got forever young looks
Cube dropping gems starting around 18:00 about how the music industry REALLY WORKS. Its funny how he getting push back from someone who isn't in the industry smh!
@@Dl824-cd I wouldn't call it real pushback though. Just playing Devils advocate and looking at it from a different angle. That is needed from every issue otherwise we have people pushing agenda and not actual discussion. Ice cube was cool about it all and got his word out, and people thinking. Which is what matters.
Love Ice Cube! Always have. He's the real deal. Honest, humility, hardworking, and handsome!! Telling it like it really is!❤❤❤
Yes, indeed. His beloved wife is greatly envied.
Cube is the hero we didn't know we needed
He hasn’t done anything heroic yet that I’m aware of…I mean, I like him, but hero? That’s a stretch…
What's so heroic about the man?
Genuinely curious.
He's lived an incredibly privileged life and instead of using his wealth to help his " community" , he spends it on weed and cars.
He uses his voice.. and also sets an example of someone who is real even if it goes against certain agendas or establishments
@@kingdavid5932 I mean ok - but what makes him a hero? Lots of people set an even better example and use their voice and they’re not considered heroes…who did he run into a burning building to save? What community or family did he rescue? He’s rapper that makes movies…so?
@@kingdavid5932 so did Trump and he actually did things.
"I'm a good dude". Love it. He's not bragging, just being real. I wish there were a lot more good dudes
He was so earnest when he said that! And he is 😊
Always liked Cube and his music…then his movies..now his independent thinking. Respect to Cube
Thanks, Cube, for always keeping it real 💯
Cube, I'm so grateful your voice is so loud far and wide right now. this is exactly what we need to hear. what a gift to the universe this man is. as are we all! one ❤
Thank you Bill Maher for giving Uncle Cube a platform to speak his side. Even though other ppl might not agree, we still appreciate you. Love you Uncle Club Cube.
I think this was my favorite episode. I didn’t want it to end.
Pm
Me too!😊 Ice is a Beautiful Human! & sooo Smart!
Really good episode. One of the best for sure.
Chevy was my fav so far.
For sure. This episode really surprised me. Not because it was entertaining but more because of how thoughtful Cube was on several topics.
First Rogan and now Maher. He’s makin the rounds
Who's Rogan?
He hit up hot boxing with Mike Tyson as well right? Or was that a bit older?
@@drwhowhatwhereyou know who rogan is.
Cube said on social media this summer he was going on a podcast tour like a week ago or some shit
The podcast is changin the whole dynamic!!
Honesty is getting its due. This is what the search for happiness awakens.
These kind of collabs are gonna get the people where they need to be
Only Bill could go from RFK to NWA
Ho ho ho very funny. 😂😅
RFK and Ice Cube are both conspiracy theorists
@@EpicHashTimelol. Except your definition of a conspiracy theorist is based on what the establishment says. Any reasonable questions asked are defined as conspiracy theory. 😂 Ya ok.
@@EpicHashTime you mean spoiler alerts?
@@EpicHashTime U R IDIOT YES OKKK
Who knew Bill Maher & Ice Cube would be the voices of reason and REALITY in the year 2023! Great Podcast!
Fantastic conversation, I really enjoyed listening. Keeping it going 👏 🎉
To be early is being on time, being on time is late and being late is unacceptable. Ice Cube is my favourite rapper as he has been & is as real as real can get. No BS with him, tells it as it is. LEGEND
Two significant intellects with plenty to say in a space where respect is both shown and graciously received. A couple of brilliant cats having a sincere conversation providing an open invitation to those of us who appreciate a profound meeting of minds. Thank you Gentleman...appreciate the both of you.
Intellects lol 🤣 where ❓
I agree
@@michaelmaps2004 Where are they ❓Bill Maher a intellect lol 🤣😆
@@WhiteWashed-o3s Recognizing 'intellect' is tricky. Need to have some to see one. Which, I am certain you are aware as the comment above was less referring to a lack of "intellect' than commentary on the flavor. I know...sometimes it IS a challenge to be both smart and nice. Especially when a quick quip might get a chuckle.
@@scottyhayden9171 Yep you do . And there is none here regarding Bill Maher LoL 🤣😆
It’s so good to see someone who has so much respect for others almost school Bill on open mindedness and acceptance.
I saw Jordan Peterson blow Bills mind with relationship issues and marriage.
Best shit I’ve seen in a while - it’s better than an overproduced TV show with all the commercial shit .
I'm a mostly conservative 52 year old order off the menu kinda guy....been a bill Maher fan as well as Ice cube 80s rap fan since the beginning.....grew up with these guys ....Keep up the great work to both
This was a great interview. Great to to see Ice Cube relaxed and in his element. I just wish that he was able to finish a thought without being interrupted.
He wanted to have cube look stupid soo bad huh?.....sheesh
Bill's feeble attempt fell flat as Ice Cube's too cool to melt.
Maher is incapable of doing a proper interview! The A-hole overtalks his guests! They're more like hostages trapped listening to Mahers egomaniac shtick!
Man, ice cube didn’t lie or exaggerate. He’s going on every podcast to expose the elite gatekeepers
I hope so. We need truths.
He saying about as much as he can without naming them
whsat gate keepers this mf expose... lol. and what club you think he "not" part of. wit his hollywood ass. ? i need yall to stop falling in love with marketed personalties.. even if those images are solid af... and be mre criticial when analyzing peoples motives.. i really need yall to do this lol
I’m supporting Cube 100% but I highly doubt he will actually expose the names of the gatekeepers - he will continue to speak in code because he knows if he tries to go in on the machine - he will lose
You can tell he’s still tryin to be careful with his words
Never in my wildest dreams did I think Bill and Ice Cube would sit and have a convo and I’m here for it! 👍🏻👏🏻
This like there third time meeting up interviewing each other
Why not? They're both in the Democrat plantation and can't get off of it. Couple guys who talk a big game but when push comes to shove they still support the nonsense that they claim to be against
He was on the Bill Maher a couple of years back.
@@ms.carpenter7793he's been there several times.
Bill Maher is just trying to take the temperature of the room in having a sit down with IC. I wouldn’t smoke nor drink anything with Bill Maher, and I would bring my own water.
I love Cube. I will always listen to what he has to say.
I promised myself I will watch this episode ten times.... this is great. I don't know how to say "down to earth" without saying that... I was fortunate to make more than enough cash than I need, and the way this man handles it is an example to me. It is a constant fight against myself to not let it change me too much. I didn't change anything big in my life, got a working car that will not break down, trusty, and my old couch was gone it had holes in it, when my good fortune came after years of working at it, it came almost all at once, so it took me by surprise bc there were many months I thought it would never happen, keeping faith doing what you love and like and thinking it can make some money is hard for that amount of time... anyhow, I digress, I will watch this episode ten times, promise. Lots of lessons here. Thanks Ice.
the test will come when its all gone ...stay true to yourself ...it was only money
@@chriswoods662
That test is already passed... as I said I have ben broke broke, now I am almost the same person, though I am not against change for fear of change, but I would like to consciously choose my changes, not let outside power change me, like all the attention I get now that wasn't there before, or buy a Buch of crap that will "show the world" I made it... money is just security it seems bc so far I cannot think of anything MORE I need to update, I was glad when I got rid of the couch though, my NEEDS were and continue to be minimal, and I have so far resisted my WANTS... another thing I changed is I got better food IN GENERAL now, even better cookies, I think that is a luxury a person owes to himself for health and wellbeing in general, I was eating WHATEVER I could find around or afford.
I know anything is POSSIBLE but I don't think it is PROBABLE, my income has increased a lot as I said, but my NEEDS are basically the same. I cannot imagine what billionaires do with all that cash, I am beginning to see why they give it all away, and STILL the main account keeps growing!!! You also don't want to give it tot the wrong people, it will destroy them, thus doing bad trying to do good.
Good luck.

mr.cube for you
Ice Cube is brilliant! Love his ideas, humility, work ethic, wit, compassion and willingness to collaborate with others for the highest purpose. Critical, independent thoughts so brilliantly articulated in an effort to improve society and create harmony. He is a National Treasure. Extraordinary human being.
Ice cube holding true to his word on hitting back by going on a lot of podcasts. Good for him people need to hear.
Bill is doing a great thing with this show.
Looks like Bill is interrupting less. He loves the sound of his voice.David Spade was a good one too.
@@johnrwalker53it’s a conversation, not an interview, Karen.
@@pacifront83 Did i hurt your feelings? Finally it's a 2way conversation unlike many others where Bill takes over it.
Good interview! Good to see cube standing for what he believes in no matter the backlash he gets. He’s really becoming a leader
Cube been doing that since he started.
one of my fave episodes already. Seeing Cube pop that beer and light that blunt is so freaking perfect
Out of all this you gravitate to weed and alchohol. I smoke but don't drink and I give not a shit about who does.
@@michaeljohnson6976 That is some heady shit.
@@michaeljohnson6976 I thought the same thing. Smoking and drinking aren't exactly things to admire about anyone, and I've spent 19 years under the influence.
Yeah not being judgemental, but, like, that was the most inspirational thing u could think of
@@michaeljohnson6976oh you're so admirable for your indifference and so clever,😂
What a legend! Much respect over the years for Ice Cube.
My Uncle said that the only reason someone is late is because there was something more important to do than being on time. If it’s a matter of realizing your dream or not, you’d navigate the dregs of hell to make it on time.
He had a very good point. It only took me 20 years to internalize that advice.

For people wondering why ice cube is doing all these podcast, he said it in a video. Nba is doing the Big 3 dirty by not letting sponsors help out the big 3 and nba owners invest in the big 3. Ice cube said he was going to go around and let it be known
Thank you both for an insightful dialogue, where even on disagreements you both were respectful.
15:17 learn from each other. Yes; Mean girls do not consider the intentions; they assume the machinations of everyone. Be Nice + kindly educate. We all have far more in common than differences. ❤
Cube is so eloquently spoken and respectful, all while sharing his opinion and facts. Maher should take note ....
Cube 2024
Protect this man at all costs
Ice Cube doesn’t get mentioned enough as the voice of our Generation-Gen X.
I class him as the voice of mine too, because his was the sh:t I was listening to as a kid, a teen & an adult too. I'm a millennial btw (Gen Y, born 84).
Probably because he isn't
An influential part of Gen X but not the voice. Dude’s a pretend gangster that stole everyone else‘s style
@@esdeozzy A pretend gangster is 1000x better than a real one. He's a storyteller and brilliant lyricist who wrote Eazy's whole first album... Stole who's style? SMH
@@esdeozzydude is a creative guy musician type with gangster friends who grew up around gangster shit everywhere. He has more talent and smarts than most.
I could listen to these two for another 3 hours. What a great conversation. So much wisdom, knowledge, humility and creativity on display. A+
😂😂😂😂 What?! "The record industry is responsible for blacks going to jail because they promote gangster rap!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ice cube is a CLOWN!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Quick click yes! Love this guy, he is a real live personality! Women in my house always said get dressed early and leave early to arrive on time
From Jay Leno to RFK Jr to Ice Cube, Bill has the most diverse guest list. Way to keep it interesting, Bill.
Aloha 🤙🏼
Both are anti-vaxx conspiracy theorists
@@EpicHashTimeYour comment is a propaganda lie. All they want is vaccine safety, not "anti vax".
Thanks for showing Kennedy some love!!! 🇺🇸 I love & respect Ice Cube so much. Great interview ❤
Bill, you are killing the game with these guests.
I find Bill talking about sports hilarious, I wonder what is his opinion on soccer? Maybe say it's boring
@@sevans606sometimes it is boring tho. I never wanna watch any game that ends 1-0 & took an hour or more. Baseball too.. Sorry
@@everyonesopinionisdumbur brain is off
HAH!!! ID LIKE TO SEE TRUMP DO ONE INTERVIEW.
Great conversation. I love deep thinkers having a civilized conversation regardless of what corner of society they're from.
Wow, I just gained a shit ton of respect for Cube! Never swearing, didn’t lose his temper and every “argument “ was spot on!! No bullshit. Great ideas, great hearing his perspective. Wow
Cube have always been my favorite rapper now i see why he is a Stand Up Black Man down to earth and real about his Black People 💪🏾🙏🏾🖤
Ice Cube's body of work has defiantly played a part in shaping our society not just in CA but the culture. Salute. 🌹 🌹 🌹 Glad he's still with us, keep building. Peace.
What a cool guy. So down to earth and uncorrupted.
So grateful this came together. Ice Cube = super-grounded & self-aware. Appreciate you lighting it up w/ Bill and dropping knowledge - great takes! ✌️💗 Eric

Edit: And on here, too
Who's rogan?

16:05 Euphemisms for ethnic names
17:12 Rap music industry and social engineering
24:43 Cube's studio
I really like cube. He’s so down to earth and real he could sit and talk with anyone. Money didn’t mess his moral compass up like it does some people. His folks did a good job. He’s comfortable in his skin because he knows what he’s about.
If all Cube had done was write the lyrics for, and mc on, Straight Outta' Compton album he'd still be a legend.
The whole vibe was so chill. Cube set the mood.
I have much respect for Ice Cube. Great guest Bill. 👍
Ice Cube is such a stand up dude. Stands on his shit, and I love it
I love Ice Cube popping up everywhere right now.

Thank you Ice Cube for keeping your authenticity. And thank you for Next Friday
Ice Cube just took over TH-cam in just 48 hours.
Ice cube is one of the most humble, real, laid back, meffers on planet earth. Great convo very chilled very honest conversation glad I found this
Ice Cube is hanging on to 39 really well ! My favorite song from him is the obvious “Today Was A Gd Day” This made my Sunday even better ! ✌🏿❤️
Ice Cube: Massive talent, Massive "Real" Man Thank you, Bill. He's so enjoyable Luv him
Love this guy Cube, he speaks the wisdom
I love Ice Cube. He is brilliant
One of the reasons I love this pod is the actual Club Random studio. It looks cozy and hospitable and it makes the interviews that much more enjoyable. Also, the sound quality in the room is superb, and the audio is rendered in a very warm tone, one that some sound engineers like myself can truly appreciate.
It looks like your uncle's basement. Love those chairs, watch Ice Cube and those ashes.
He's doing what he's doing, and spoke out when it mattered...respect.
One of the best episodes of this podcast! ❤
Shoutout to Bill for having on unique guests and just getting blasted
Living his best podcast life 💨🍻
Unique guests? LOL
Every guest he has was like on Joe Rogan's podcast a week before.
It's like copy and paste LMAOOO
Cube is a true inspiration and I’m proud of him! Black EXCELLENCE…💐👑
MUSK is a true inspiration and im proud of him! White EXCELLENCE!
He drops some amazing concepts... Love this legend.
Love cube and what he represents. Real as they get.
Ice Cube is AMAZING🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻A real yogi without calling himself that & without pretension or bull. So refreshing and wonderful to listen to-
@IceCube-dc8ws we are going to rewrite Jann Wenner’s book about rock & roll philosophers and you are #1 on the list followed by Stevie Wonder. Sadly, Prince is not around to be in the book- got lots of female names too-- Jann Wenner just revealed the REAL mentality that festers behind phony wokism- racism & sexism.
Go Ice!
