‘I will never endorse a motherf---a like Donald Trump! EVER!!!’ says Ice Cube

The N.W.A. rapper took to Twitter on Saturday to declare that he would never support Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after social media users dug up an old interview where he mentioned the candidate.

“I will never endorse a mothaf---a like Donald Trump! EVER!!!” the musician-turned-actor wrote.

I'd have guessed he'd be a Trump supporter. I am surprised. JustABozoOnThisBus Aug 2016 #2
Do not confuse the lyrics he wrote with the man. Dr Hobbitstein Aug 2016 #3
In that case, I have more respect. Thanks. JustABozoOnThisBus Aug 2016 #4

He seems to express a respect for women just like Trump.

He was writing the reality he saw around him in Compton in the early 80s. He also wrote a lot of social-political lyrics as well.

In reality, he's been married to the same woman since 1992, they have four children. He's a stand up guy.

Still, I don't see how the lyrics can improve social-political realities, just perpetuate some "Attitude".

That's how people talked, it's what they said. The raps he wrote reflected that. He's pretty much the guy that started "gangsta rap" and made hip-hop something serious.

These are some really great 'socio-political' lyrics.


Twenty D Energizers."
"Twenty, C Energizer?"
"D, not C, D."
"B Energizer?"
"D motherfucker, D! Learn to speak english first, alright? D!"
"How many you say?"
"Twenty, motherfucker, twenty."
"Honey..."
"Mother-fuck you!"

[Ice Cube]
Everytime I wanna go get a fuckin brew
I gotta go down to the store with the two
oriental one-penny countin motherfuckers

that make a nigga made enough to cause a little ruckus
Thinkin every brother in the world's out to take
So they watch every damn move that I make
They hope I don't pull out a gat and try to rob
they funky little store, but bitch, I got a job
("Look you little Chinese motherfucker
I ain't tryin to steal none of yo' shit, leave me alone!"
"Mother-fuck you!&quot
Yo yo, check it out
So don't follow me, up and down your market
Or your little chop suey ass'll be a target
of the nationwide boycott
Juice with the people, that's what the boy got
So pay respect to the black fist
or we'll burn your store, right down to a crisp
And then we'll see ya!
Cause you can't turn the ghetto - into Black Korea

"I do fuck you!"

Look how far they've fallen.

Never thought I'd see the day when Ice Cube would refuse to endorse the Republican candidate for President.
