(6,568 posts)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.

(6,568 posts)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!"
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!"

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