Ice Cube
Transcript: Believe it or not, like us, Ice Cube is a muslim. That means he has the same religion as us, which is Islam. Ice Cube converted to Islam in the 1990's. Born in Los Angeles, Ice Cube has said: "What I call myself is a natural Muslim, because it's just me and God. You know, going to the mosque, the ritual and the tradition, it's just not in me to do. So I don't do it." This means that he does not follow our traditions and cultures but he has the same beliefs as us.

A:Oh man, this is going to be hard to answer. It was hard to deal with the fact that he has died I'll tell you that, especially dealing it with N.W.A. Eazy- E was like a brother to me, he helped us create and develop this group and it feels like somethings always missing. We have gone through some crazy adventures with him and it's hard to face the fact that you can't enjoy more great moments with him. Rest in peace Eazy. Q: Will you ever decide on making another album, and if yes, who would you have in thee album? A: Are you crazy, of course I would love to make another album, I know its been 6 years since my last album, but I still got some rhythm. Whenever I would make an album, I would for sure have Dr. Dre, maybe some snoop, but I gotta bring in my boy Kendrick Lamar because he knew what it was like growing up in Compton and the struggle it was., and he is a lyrical genius. Questions: Ice Cube and Dr. Dre are very similar. They are both old American rappers.They both grew up around the same area and they are about the same age. Believe it or not Ice Cube and Dr. Dre were in the same hip hop group called the N.W.A. This is an American hip hop group from Compton, California. Some other members are Eazy E, DJ Yella and many more. You may recognize them from their movie Straight Outta Compton which released last year and got great reviews. In 100 years from now, I think that he will be remembered. The reason why is because of him and N.W.A, they have made a big difference in the music industry where it has opened up so many great artists that probably wouldn't have made music if it wasn't for them. He has taken music to a whole different level because people would've been too afraid to rap or say any of the lyrics that he has rapped in his songs and that gave a lot of people confidence because Ice Cube wasn't afraid of speaking the truth.
