Ice Cube

According to the news, the Celebrity Rapper Ice Cube has slammed today’s Hip-Hop, insisting most performers are only interested in the “bling” lifestyle instead of embracing political issues. Material gain is a strong and motivating factor for each Celebrity, however Ice Cube wants to shake-up the Hip-Hop industry after expressing outrage at its commercialism. With other words: Is the current US rap scene lost direction? Are Hip-Hop/Rappers forgotten their roots? Maybe so. Ice Cupe pointed out that sex and ‘bling’ are favoured over social commentary in Hip-Hop tracks, so he will make a campaign against it and plans on releasing three records politically charged in two years.

Political rap has been pushed into the background, and rap has turned into bling party music. Groups like Public Enemy and KRS-ONE have no stage any more. I’ve been doing this 20 years - but rap is full of bravado now, and nobody wants to listen. All we’re hearing from America is booty music. If American rappers don’t step up their game, then I will. I’m planning on releasing three records in two years - each more politically charged. I’m going my own path to sway the tide. We’ve got to do whatever we can to put the music back in the hands of the people who love it.
