Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine
8 September 2025
Famous old skool gangsta rap star and actor/film producer ICE CUBE (born, named O’Shea Jackson Sr. in Los Angeles 56 years ago) is on a roll. Last year, in November, he released his 11th solo LP, his first in 6 years, titled Man Down and he already has the follow-up, named MAN UP ready for launching on September 12th.
Here’s lead single BEFORE HIP-HOP.
“Before hip-hop, niggas got shot
Before hip-hop, niggas smoked rocks
Before hip-hop, my uncle had a drop
Before hip-hop, homies stood on the block
Before hip-hop, people smoked weed
Before hip-hop, I’ll get you what you need
Before hip-hop, pimping was gone
Before hip-hop, bitches was on”
Wake up, folks, IC is
still niggin’ and bitchin’
like in the old days.
