| Ice Cube - O'Shea Jackson |
One of the founding fathers of gangsta rap, Ice
Cube (O'Shea Jackson) brought his brutally honest style back to The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC with WC (William Loshawn Calhoun, Jr.) and crew. Ice Cube has been on the
scene for over 25 years, since blowing music fans out of the water in 1987 with
the infamous rap group N.W.A. alongside fellow rap legend, Dr. Dre. When he left N.W.A and become a solo artist
in 1989, Ice Cube secured his status as one of the most controversial lyricists
of all time. He has been accused of being
overly violent, racist, and misogynistic.
On the other hand, he has been labeled as being one of the greatest
story-telling MC’s of all time. He has
collaborated with an uncountable list of other talent along the way. Ice Cube has also recognized success with his
clothing line, as well as acting, and screenwriting. He starred in the early nineties classic, Boys In Da Hood. O'Shea Jackson also co-wrote and starred in the classic Friday movie series, as well as had
starring roles in other blockbuster hits such as Anaconda, Three Kings, and Barbershop.
