cube was never muslim... he just quoted some malcom X on one of his album covers

If you don't count the NOI as a Muslim organization (and most Orthodox Muslims don't), then I guess he wasn't.

I always thought he did actually join? If not, then that's really interesting, especially since Cube got Shorty of Da Lench Mob to join the NOI.
Also, you do realize that Eihtball = yours truly?

no i didn't realize that, and there should be laws against all of this nick changing :P i had actually been wondering what happened to you; lol.
ice cube stated that he wasn't a muslim on "when will they shoot?" and in a couple interviews, something about he respected the views but lacked the discipline.
here's a quote:
As he's raised the subject, I ask whether - having converted in the early 90s - he's still Muslim himself. "Yeah. Oh yeah." And still involved with the Nation of Islam, the militant faction he once called "the best place for any young black male"? This time he hesitates. "Ah, when you say involved with the Nation, it's tricky. I never was in the Nation of Islam... I mean, what I call myself is a natural Muslim, 'cause it's just me and God. You know, going to the mosque, the ritual and the tradition, it's just not in me to do. So I don't do it."

so i guess he identifies as a muslim, but never was noi
Eihtball:
Yeah, I just decided to try something more creative, cause "Eihtball" is a pretty generic name.
Anyway, I guess what you've said is true. But it really is strange to me cause back in the day, I remember thinking Cube was actually a member; that's most def the impression he gave.
