As for the music front, Dr. Dre almost has his former N.W.A rhyme partner on his Aftermath Records roster (see "Dr. Dre To Produce Next Ice Cube Record")."I love music as much as I love the movie thing," Cube said. "I'm gonna be on Aftermath as soon as I get the deal signed. It's close, very close. It's just basically making sure we got a deal. We're fine-tuning the deal. We've agreed on most of the numbers."Since the success of "Barbershop" earlier this year, the MC-turned-Hollywood-mogul says executives around Tinseltown are throwing plenty of deals at him. "More people want to be in business, but we don't want to just take opportunities now that they're there," explained Cube, who says he still hasn't thought about the script for a "Barbershop" sequel. "I take pride in having a company called Cubevision. I don't want to mess it up because we have the opportunity to make a lot of movies real fast. A lot of quality goes into whatever we're doing. We gotta make sure the product is still very good."Cube has no doubts about what he could do if he weren't constrained to his usual shoestring budgets."If they gave a $100 million, I'll damn sure make it look like $250 million," he laughed. "It's not hard to get that money on the screen and do something off the hook. I really don't need that much money. You don't need a $100 million to make $100 million." Cube finished his next film, "Torque," less than a month ago. Although he didn't produce or write the script this time around, he did get a chance to ride motorcycles in the action flick (see "Ice Cube Switching From Barber To Biker For Next Flick")."I'm pretty nice on them," he said about riding. "I ain't ready to join the Ruff Ryders yet, but give me three or four more months, I'll be ready. It was fun making the movie though, getting to ride hard."
