Ice Cube Raps Schwarzenegger in New Album
Ice Cube, aka O’Shea Jackson, used to be known chiefly as a rapper.
But the performer has since appeared in many movies, including “Barbershop” and “Three Kings.”
Apparently, Ice Cube doesn’t like the way fellow thespian Arnold Schwarzenegger is carrying out his governor duties.
On his latest album, Ice Cube slams Schwarzenegger for engaging in self-promotion rather than focusing on poverty.
The rapper-actor’s main reason for chewing out Arnold is because Arnold won the election.
“He pisses me off just by the fact that he is the governor of California. That's enough,” Ice Cube told the World Entertainment News Network.
Ice Cube then analyzed the economy of the state, saying, “You've got to realize, there's a lot of money in California, but it suffers from economic greed. Nobody wants to give up their piece of the pie, so nobody can live real good without resorting to killing each other.”

The money suffers from economic greed?
Just $29.99 for Mr. Cop Killer's new CD.
So how much has Ice Cube given away?
Focusing on poverty....I'm laughing my &ss off.
Ice Cube, is that a name? The answer, no.
Do I give a fat rats ass what he thinks...ummm...no.
Do I like his "music"...ummmm...no.
Phuck him and his ilk.
Flame away.
Cube called white women "cave b!thces" in his 1994 "Lethal Injection" album. If a rock or country artist had made similiar remarks about black women, you'd never hear the end of it.
A trait shared by the California Ilk Herd ...
Gotta love people who do desperate things to get attention. ;)
That was Ice-T not Cube.
My bad. Ice-T is the Republican on one of those Law and Order shows.
Cube was a better artist back then, despite some revolting and racist lyrics.
I don't know if he's ever backed off what he used to rap about or if this transition into family movie actor (Are We There Yet?) was seamless.
Icecube has always been a loud mouthed posterior..

Yeah, SVU. And honestly, that whole Body Count effort (metal and rap hybrid) wasn't some kind of glorification of violence. It was one song, pretty vicious, but they also had an anti-drug and anti-violence song that I have on MP3 that was pretty good (and another one called "I Must Stand" that preached a similar message.)
Now how one reconciles this with his continued presence at 'playa's balls' I don't know.
He was great in Boyz N tha Hood too, which is how this whole career in acting started, though he's been playing damn near the same guy in every role.
He's caught Jorge Cloonitis, bad; has become a hero is his own eyes.
T is an a44hole pimp. I can't watch that show!
