ICE CUBE Ice Cube is an award winning actor, director, producer and music icon. After penning the most memorable lyrics on NWA’s groundbreaking songs “Straight Outta Compton” and “Fuck Tha Police,” Ice Cube left the group at the peak of its popularity to pursue one of the most successful careers in music history. As a solo recording artist, Ice Cube has sold more than 10 million albums while remaining one of rap’s most respected and influential artists today. Last year, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with his group NWA. In 1991 Cube made his acting debut with a lead role in the critically acclaimed and Academy Award nominated Boyz N The Hood. Since then, he has become one of the most bankable actors in Hollywood with film credits that include Friday, Three Kings, xXx: State of the Union and the Barbershop, Are We There Yet?, Ride Along, and 21 Jump Street franchises to name just a few. As an accomplished producer through his company, Cube Vision (Friday, the Barbershop, Are We There Yet? and Ride Along franchises), writer (Friday, The Players Club, The Janky Promoters) and director (The Players Club) - Ice Cube has established himself as one of entertainment’s most bankable, reliable, relevant, and prolific figures both on and off the screen. As a television producer, Cube Vision took the Barbershop and Are We There Yet? series to successful network runs and also enjoyed success with the controversial Black. White. His production company’s latest project, Hip Hop Squares on VH1 became the highest rated non-sports show to air in prime time when it premiered on March 13, 2017. In 2015, Straight Outta Compton, which he helped inspire and produced was released. The critically acclaimed film held the #1 spot at the box office three weekends in a row and grossed over $200 million dollars on a mere budget of $28 million. The Universal Pictures released picture went on to receive countless awards and accolades including nominations with the Academy Awards, Critics Choice Awards, SAG Awards, Producer Guild of Americas Awards, Writers Guild of America Awards, Golden Globes and won for Best Picture at the NAACP Image Awards, True Story at the MTV Movie Awards, and many more. Together, Cube’s films in which he has starred in and produced have grossed over a billion dollars at the box office. He will also be honored with a star in his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Summer.

Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

The seats are mostly full, both on the floor and in the stands, but if you look closely, you’ll find that this audience isn’t the standard sporting fare: the men are in smart suits, the women dress equally so, in long white dresses, gloves, and headscarves.
