In a recent interview with Filmcritic, rapper turned director/actor/producer Ice Cube said that he was putting music on the back burner for movies. Cube, who's company Cubevision is preparing to release All About The Benjamin, broke down the Hollywood game. "In Hollywood, you can become a guy who's just waiting for the phone to ring all the time. It's never how I've done it, never how I've handled my career. I wanted to have a company that was dedicated to putting together things that I'm interested in. Not only on an acting level, but on a producer level... or whatever."
Cube explained that his career hasn't permitted him to focus on music lately. "Music, in a way, is on the back burner," he said. "Right now it's easy because I ain't doing no music. I'm just doing movies."
All About The Benjamin's is a comedy starring Ice Cube as a bounty hunter named Bucum Jackson. The plot centers around stolen diamonds and a lost lottery ticket worth millions.

Cube prolly makes 5 times as much doin movies as he would rappin n e way.

That's alright, Cube ran outta things to say on the mic years ago anyways. After the couple decent songs on War, he just got tired of preachin' I guess.

Sad but true. Fuck, Cube shares the top spot as my favorite rapper with Pac and Snoop. Pac is dead and Cube ain't making music no more. Snoop is my only favorite rapper that can bring out new music! Damn...:-/

Ok for Cube,cuz he's making a lot of movies,but damn...not snoop with only 2 movies(bones,the wash).

The news is acceptable. But I'll be crying if a new Ice Cube album will never see the light of day. He needs an classic album to manifest his status as a hip-hop legend. And to proudly retire from hip-hop.
