BOSS moves!!!
Thanks for this insightful interview with Ice Cube. The movie of his life through music movies learning from John Singleton shows that with confidence determination and willingness to learn will get you farther than a degree sometimes. 🙌🙏✌️
It's a HUGE YES from little ole me.
YES
100 per cent well done lewis and co 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Underrated episode. Ice cube needs to tell his story more. Thanks for having him on. This is inspiring
"you wanna be the tree in the flood" what a powerful statement what an awesome conversation.
Thanks for being here!
Proverbs from the elders
His meeting John Singleton story absolutely blows me away!
Ice Cube is proof that hard work and following your vision pays off 🏆
🙌
Holy Moly. This is an absolute OG. Im from Australia, I grew up on Ice Cube, Public Enemy, De La Soul, Run DMC, Ice T, Ultra Magnetic.... what a BOSS episode, it will be my Friday night podcast to watch. By the way, I've been fasting intermittently since Jan 3rd - getting my shiz in order in 2024. Bigups Lewis & Cube, today was a good day. Mark7
Who cares...

@@aromanmcseawww, so precious. Bless your heart…🫠

I love Ice Cube for who he is AND for who he isn't. He's masculine, intelligent, and brave but not a pushover, silly, or a sell-out. He's among the Greatest. My ideal husband-type. Boy N The Hood is a forever classic, but my favorite movie of his is Anaconda. He's a natural comedian. The part about him meeting John Singleton (RIH) was so funny! I think that was divine intervention. A wonderful insightful interview!
Yes! ❤👍
I can see the light in Lewis’s eyes like you can tell he listen to ice cube as a teenager and is just an awe of an idol
Wow this is so cool! Congrats on getting Ice Cube on the channel - what a win / milestone!
Thank you!
You're right, this is milestone. However, Lewis has had other A list people on his show. So what's the difference? I hope people can see that black folks are not seen as lower class. They don't experience more judgements than anyone else based on skin color. We're all judged on our character, choices we make, how we carry ourselves and how we show up on it world. Period ❤
@@lewishowessomeone might laugh at me.. But sir if there a spot for me to work for you sir, I'm ready... Thank you..
BIG WIN! Because it made me subscribe. 💪
@@muddyshoes4517 What United States do you live in? Sounds like a nice place, a true democracy.
One of the best interviews I’ve seen. Ice Cube is a force. Thank you Lewis Howes 🙏🏼
You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡
Ur very lucky to have gotten this man (Ice cube) on this video,.. he's so engaging with his story telling...He also has the spirit of a Chief instead of an Indian and that also captivates the viewers...
I love that he brought up the relationship between preparation and confidence. I figured that out in college: the more I knew about a subject (the more I studied and read), the easier it was to write a paper. I know that seems like 'duh,' but I made A's and B's in high school without really doing those things, so I thought that was the recipe for success, and then real life kicked in 😅. But now i carry that principle everywhere.
Two top-tier gentlemen, having an excellent conversation. 🏆
Thanks for being here!
YES! I am completely taken aback that he is on your show. Thank you for inviting him to your platform and introducing him to people who may not have had the privilege to know of him. Hip-Hop is a major part of my adolescence & my existence. Ice Cube is very inspirational in our culture for a multitude of reasons. His vibe is down to earth, chill, & resonating. I love his essence.... ❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words 🧡
Yes, Ice Cube standing up for your values. Making people put something in their bodies that are not in alignment with them is so wrong.
I have always been fond of Ice Cube's work, but after seeing this interview, I have gained so much respect for his mindset and his decision making process. Ice Cube you are truly DOPE and ONE OF A KIND!!!! #icecube @icecube 👌🏽💯❤️
🧡
biggest respect for ice cube, how he explained why there are junk movies.... phenomenal
🙌
I will always love me some Ice Cube. He's such a man of integrity. Great interview! 🙂
This was an impressive interview. I like the way Ice Cube answers the questions by way of analogous references. The best story to me was the John Singleton story. He helped several people and Ice Cube has continued to pay it forward. Keep up the good work, both of you!
Huge fan of Ice Cube. Thank you for this interview with him.
This is the absolute best Ice Cube interview I've ever seen. Anyone that's planning to interview Ice Cube in the future needs to watch this one. Lewis knows how to ask questions that bring the best out of people. Salute Lewis! 👏👏👏
YES YES AND YES ! What a GREAT interview with Ice Cube and well done Lewis for bringing Him on your channel. So much respect for Ice Cube - the realist of them all 🏆❤️
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.
Ice Cube, you are the man! I'm glad you stuck to your convictions and didn't sell out to Hollyweird or the music industry. 👍🙌
Ice Cube is looking amazing for his age. He still looks like he's 30 something.
I've always had much love for Cube from the beginning . He seems like a solid guy .
🙌
Yes! I love that he went from coincidental success to inspirational success holding dear to his three pillars music, basketball, and acting. ..and he did his way!! Great interview !!
Half way thru and I love Ice Cube! His delivery, cadence, thoughtful responses and overall story is WoW!!!!! So inspiring, thank you for having him on. I love your questions and over all skills when interviewing.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🧡
This whole interview is 🔥. “Always believe in yourself, always be yourself, and always be Grateful “-Ice Cube
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥❤
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to check out the interview! So glad you enjoyed it🧡
Thank you for having Ice Cube on! He is such an amazing soul that is so inspiring and insightful. NWA was my favorite group as a kid. ❤
Have always admired him and his career moves. No one has ever done a piece on just him, because he comes with no drama. Thanks for this.
Having your own son playing you in your life story, part thereof is the highest honor a father can have. Straight outta compton is a great movie for you can see how young men became legend and grew to giants in their own respective individuals. Great one Lewis, you legendary when it comes to these interviews.❤🇿🇦🤝🏾
This is just the realest interview. Yiu gotta love Cube, his commitment to family, work ethic, refusal to sell his soul, understanding the game and system and just slaying in his lane whilst helping others. Love you Mr Cube.
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.
I love that song. "Good Day" is always in my rotation and when it comes on it always changes my mood. ❤
YES! I love what he said about "The Noise" and learning to trust yourself.
Damn Lewis.. you got me again 😢. One of LA’s Greatest. A true Renaissance Man. Appreciate Cube for all he’s done… pioneer, trailblazer, mentor to all of us as kids and still continuing to drop knowledge, wisdom and leadership now that we are men. Cube Thank You for being who you are. Putting LA on the map. All your Boyz in The Valley Appreciate You!! 👊
I am proud of you Ice Cube for being a man of integrity, and ethics, especially when it comes to your health, making decisions to protect rights.
Omg this was ABSOLUTELY amazing!! I think I smiled the whole episode.
My son was 6 yrs. old ( May he R.I.P.) 🙏and a big Ice Cube fan, he loved the movie" Friday" he watched it so many times he knew that whole movie by heart word for word I thought it was so kool & funny he could recite that whole movie"Friday"
omggg cant wait to hear combo of you two!!! congratsss Lewis this is I think new level of you interviewing someone like Ice Cube. I think you did have a lot of wise people here. But i also think not many intervieweres Ice Cube would let be interviewed by. im proud of you and i think it was probably an honor for you to have person like him with you in your studio. 😊😊😊
Appreciate you and your support🧡
Well done Lewis...terrific interview! Much respect for Ice Cube. He has evolved into a great man, person.
I'll say it. Cubes music shaped me into the man I am today
everytime i say 'that was the best episode'... you come out with another banger. You learn so much from every guests you've had on #IceCube another #GOAT
So glad to hear that from you, we'll keep at it! Thank you so much for watching!
This was such a wonderful interview that really hit home for me on so many levels. Thanks Lewis for asking those wonderful questions about the industry and about making your own films. Such kismet insight. 🙌🏼
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.
This is the best interview I've seen because he didn't ask all the usual cliché questions they ask Cube all the time that we all already know the answers to and I'm sure he's tired of being asked. It was a conversation with depth and meaning where we got to know more about Ice Cube. Very good. I grew up listening to Ice Cube since the 90s so this was good he's for sure one of the best artists.
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.
I am old enough to be Ice Cube's Mom or Grandmom. I knew I liked him...... Now I LOVE him!!!! Thanks for this Interview!❤
You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡
I LOVE Ice Cube's answers to the 3 Truths he would leave behind and HIS DEFINITION of Greatness❤

You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡
@@lewishowesFasho man! 💯
My favorite part is a ripple effect of how Ice Cubes movies & music creates a generation cycles for people to watch & listen to for many years. I’m in my 20’s when he talked about people who were young and now those young kids have kids of their own to watch his film and listen to his music is insane.
This was a phenomenal conversation! 🙌🏾
Yeah Cube and Lewis !!!
I love this so much! Ice Cube is one of my all time favorites 💗 Boyz n the hood and Friday were my high school years!!!
Thanks for being here!
This is the interview we needed that we didn't know we needed. Salute Lewis and Ice Cube.

Absolutely!
