Many tend to forget how impactful Ice Cube is as a hip-hop artist especially being that he's surpassed the music realm and has so many different types of credits under his belt. Ice Cube was the mastermind behind N.W.A and wrote most of the group's lyrics before breaking off the group and releasing his debut AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted in 1990. Ice Cube is also responsible for one of the greatest diss records of all-time aimed at his old bandmates of N.W.A, especially Eazy-E, entitled 'No Vaseline'.
Throughout the '90s Ice Cube was one of the hardest and unapproachable emcees in the game but things changed when he starred in and released his self-written movie entitled Friday in 1995. Cube already had several acting credits under his belt but with Friday becoming a hood classic it propelled his career into Hollywood which ultimately allowed him to star in and write several major motion pictures. The west coast hip-hop artist has his own production company called Cube Vision and recently started his own professional three-on-three basketball league called the BIG3.
