Ice Cube Shows "Why We Thugs" In New Video - April 8, 2006 By : Rud

Dubcnn as you will all know has been keeping you updated better than any other outlet on the highly anticpiated new album from Ice Cube entitled; "Laugh Now, Cry Later". Having been updating you all on the release since last year we have steadily released audio from the project and even spoke with Ice Cube in February at SIR Studios about the album when we were among the world's press invited to a private listening party for the new album. If you missed that then check out our exclusive "Laugh Now Cry Later" Listening Party Feature page to catch up.


The album is still due for release on 6-6-6 (June 6th 2006) and as ever the single, which we premiered in February (Why We Thugs) which is produced by Scott Storch, now has a video; and let us assure you this may be an independent release however Ice Cube knows exactly what to draw the masses; this video is far from the typical independent project; look for cameos from Mike Epps, W.C. and many more.

The video takes its backdrop in Los Angeles, Houston & New York and sees the videography drawing heavily from Ice Cube's lyrics; you even see Cube sporting a 'Grill' in Houston.

Ice Cube - Why We Thugs (Video)

This is available in m4v format so get it on your iPod's or enjoy in Windows Media Player. Drop your thoughts on the video at the forum where the video originated!

Wots Codec?
Title: Re: Ice Cube Shows "Why We Thugs" In New Video (m4v, small file!)
Post by: Rud on April 08, 2006, 08:56:47 AM
a codec is a file that can make a video player able to play the file format you are using, when you try and open the m4v file in Windows Media it may say "Cannon Support Media" and there should be a button to click to enable you to download a codec to play the file...

4 Me It Just says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."

Post by: Rud on April 08, 2006, 09:11:37 AM
does it not say "get codec" or "more info" or something...seems strange...will look into it...

Thats one of the tightest videos to come out in years.  I watched the Access Granted for it, and they made it seem as though Mike Epps was gonna rap the whole thing for the video, which I thought was interesting.  I guess they changed their decision cuz Cube raps it in the actual video.
