^my definition of gangsta rap is a whole song from begging to end. My bad I could never get to the last verse because the song annoyed the shit outta me.
Hatin' or not, most of the shit he said is true though.
Quote from: Okka on April 19, 2011, 11:18:38 AMHatin' or not, most of the shit he said is true though.that he's not a gangbanger is true, ice cube is honest about that.i fail to see how ice cube got 'exposed' in this article
Lol this is obviously something you wrote.For starters its very poorly written. One of the problems with your essay is that you make assumptions about Cube that just aren't true. For instance, you assume he has tried to hide where he went to school or that he went to college. These are known facts that Cube has talked about in interviews. Also you assume he claims credit for coming up with gangsta rap when in fact he has given credit to his predecessors. Essentially your "exposures" aren't exposures at all.Another tip for writing a persuasive piece: find a topic and stick with it. Your article doesn't have a focus and is all over the place. First you talk about his schooling and how he can't be a real gangster. Then you talk about the New West vs. Ice Cube. Then you talk about violence in his music (completely ignoring the lyrical content of the new west rappers you just praised a paragraph ago btw). Then you talk about the racism in his music. Then you say he is trying to convert kids to Islam. Then you go through every rapper he has beefed with? And you end with saying he doesn't sell anymore and his time is up in music. What exactly is the point of this article? All you're really saying is "I don't like Ice Cube, he's a bad guy and I'm going to think of every bad thing I can say about him." It's a child's argument.
