  • “Straight Outta Compton”—NWA (1988)
    “Straight Outta Compton”—N.W.A (1988) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Ben Westhoff (guest post)* “Straight Outta Compton” LP N..W.A Gangsta rap existed before “Straight Outta Compton,” but N.W.A’s landmark 1988 album popularized the genre and serves as its standard bearer even today. The mythology of the artists behind its creation also continues to loom large: Eazy-E, the Compton crack dealer who used his profits to finance a hip-hop career; Dr. Dre, his neighbor who’d most recently been DJ-ing in flamboyant, sequined outfits for a song-and-dance group; Ice Cube, the ostentatious high school rapper from South Central Los Angeles whose writing gifts matched his aggressive delivery. But it was the characters they imagined--both militarized street kids sick of being humiliated by the cops and brash punks on the hunt for sex and cheap booze--that shaped the album, marching in time to Dr. Dre’s assault of chopped samples, wailing sirens, guitar riffs, and rapid drum machine beats, all of it more tuneful than it sounds on paper. Rounded out by the group’s other firebrand rapper, MC Ren, Dr. Dre’s production partner, MC Yella, and electro-rap holdover Arabian Prince--not to mention hugely influential ghostwriter D.O.C.--N.W.A reshaped hip-hop music in their own image. They called it “reality rap,” but in the beginning it was far from clear that N.W.A would rap unvarnished lyrics threatening the status quo. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube’s earlier music disparaged the gang lifestyle, and just about everyone in the group admired Prince.

  • MTV Studios to Reimagine “Celebrity Deathmatch” for a New Generation
    MTV Studios to Reimagine “Celebrity Deathmatch” for a New Generation December 5, 2018 Ice Cube and Cube Vision Set to Executive Produce, With Ice Cube to Lend Voice Talent in a Lead Role Original Creator Eric Fogel to also Executive Produce, With Additional Talent to Come NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2018-- MTV Studios today announced plans to reimagine “Celebrity Deathmatch,” the seminal stop-motion satire that skewered celebrities, politicians and everyone in between during its famed original run. Ice Cube joins the franchise for the first time and will both star and executive produce alongside his partner Jeff Kwatinetz through his Cube Vision production company. Series creator Eric Fogel will return to executive produce as well, with additional showrunners and talent to be named shortly. The all-new “Celebrity Deathmatch” will be available as a weekly series for an exclusive SVOD or premium broadcast partner in 2019. The move marks the first step in reinventing the franchise across consumer products, gaming, theatrical and more. Ice Cube/Cube Vision are represented by WME. “Celebrity Deathmatch” expands Ice Cube’s long-standing relationship with the MTV family, with Cube Vision currently producing “Hip Hop Squares” for MTV sister brand VH1. “We’re excited to grow our partnership with Ice Cube and Cube Vision to reimagine this fan favorite,” said Chris McCarthy, President of MTV, VH1 and CMT. “’Deathmatch’ was the meme before memes, remains a hot topic on social media and will be a smart, funny way to tackle the over-the-top rhetoric of today’s pop culture where it belongs – in the wrestling ring.” “Happy to once again be working with Viacom and MTV on a fan favorite like ‘Celebrity Deathmatch’ and to continue our success together,” said Ice Cube.

  • N.W.A's Influence on Society
    #1 N.W.A’s Influence on Society Abstract I conducted research on the influence that the musical group N.W.A had on society in the late 80’s and as well as their influence on today's society. N.W.A is very well known for having changed the music industry, and they have been a controversial group since their debut album “Straight Outta Compton” was released on August 8, 1988. The album's songs were based on the group members' personal lives. N.W.A was putting out music and rapping about topics that at the time no one would dare to do.While conducting my research I found out why they were such a controversial group in the late 80’s; till this day they are still seen as controversial. Research Questions 1. In the 80s why was this group controversial? Is N.W.A still considered controversial today? 2. Why was “F _ _ _ Tha Police” one of their most popular and well known songs? 3. What are the members of the group doing now? “Who gave it that title, gangsta rap? It’s reality rap. It’s about what’s really going on.” - Eazy-E #2 How the Group Formed ● Was formed in 1987 by Eazy-E who co-founded a record label called “Ruthless Records”. ● Eazy-E recruited Dr. Dre and Ice Cube to write for his label. ● Ice-Cube & Dr. Dre wrote a song for a different group under Ruthless Records, but they decided not to record. So Eazy, Ice, & Dre recorded “Boyz-n-the-Hood” under the group name N.W.A.

  • The Ice Cube Experiment
    The Ice Cube Experiment Question: Will ice melt faster at room temperature when in freshwater or saltwater? Research: Density: a measure of how much matter there is in a given amount of space how tightly packed the tiny particles that make up any substance are higher density = more closely packed particles both temperature and salinity affect density Salinity: the amount of dissolved salts that are present in water high salinity = more particles = packed tight = high density low salinity = fewer particles = spread out = less density saltwater is more dense than fresh water Temperature: degree of hotness or coldness measured on a definite scale high temperature = particles spread out = low density low temperature = particles closer together = high density cold water is more dense than warm water Because ice is made up of fresh water, it fits into the less dense category in terms of salinity But because it is solid and cold, it fits into the high-density category in terms of temperature Hypothesis: What do you think will happen? Ice will melt faster in freshwater Ice will melt faster in saltwater Ice will melt at equal speed in both freshwater and saltwater Will temperature or salinity have more of an effect on the density of the seawater? _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Experiment: Supplies: • 2 clear cups • Salt • Water • Ice • Food dye (optional) Instructions: 1) Use food coloring and water to make colored ice cubes. 2) Fill each of the clear cups with water. 3) Add salt to the first cup and mix to make saltwater. 4) The second cup will remain freshwater.

From their Compton, California, headquarters, Eazy-E (Eric Wright), Dr. Dre (Andre Young), Ice Cube (O’Shea Jackson), MC Ren (Lorenzo Patterson), and DJ Yella (Antoine Carraby) would – by force of will and through unrelenting tales of street life – sell tens of millions of records, influence multiple generations the world over, and extend artistic middle fingers to the societal barriers of geography, respectability, caste, authority, and whatever else happened to get in their way.

  • How Jay-Z, Eminem, and Steve Jobs Can Bring Us Salvation
    How Jay-Z, Eminem, and Steve Jobs Can Bring Us Salvation By Simma Lieberman (Originally published in Fast Company.com 7/11) Millions of kids idolize hip-hop artists and rappers and have dreams of becoming one. They think that rapping would be a great way to get rich. Most of them will never get there. And people that are talented often have no background in the business side, so they will disintegrate or lose all of their money. And there is a proliferation of young people, and not so young people, who want to create the next Facebook, Google, Zappos, etc. Most of these people will never get there either. But, what if we could get some of these hip-hop moguls, like Jay-Z, Queen Latifah, Eminem, Chamillionaire, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Missy Elliot, together with some of the tech leaders like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Tony Hsieh, Gina Trapani, Clara Shih, in dialogues and round tables? Here is my vision: Young people could learn about all aspects of the music world and the other options like sound engineering, production, organization, lighting, etc. and about the business of business. More young people could learn to become entrepreneurs, and about investing, long term visioning, or becoming successful in an organization. Businesses, and entrepreneurs can learn about being visible, marketing, public relations, visioning, risk taking, and reinvention from these hip-hop moguls. Dialogues or round tables with these artists and business leaders could mean sharing best practices, finding commonalities and new ideas that would benefit them all.
