I got such high hopes for the future of music. When I was their age, people listened to what they listened to and that was it. There wasn’t even much opportunity to appreciate the history of their preferred genre. But today, thanks to technology. Every sort of music you could think of is a few clicks away. And people are broadening their tastes as they refine them.
@@Imbued_Wit_Life you must be young. The conversation is about when Ice Cube first started acting. If he had any from Gangsta Rapper Ice Cube to 'Are We There Yet' Ice Cube.
This song was about the LA Riots and how people were basically saying that life is too dangerous, and Ice Cube was like nah, there still be some good days. The 90's were nuts man, wouldn't change it for anything. We live, we learn, we grow.
Made more money back then. Look at Queen Latifa's career. She can spit rhymes but in the early 1990's even late 90's not many female rappers think the GOAT Missy Elliot could survive without men. She's been tight with Timberland because they grew up together. Lil Him had to rely on her looks to keep being promoted sand her abusive partner broke her/ ruined her career.
Yeah that part now sounds dated. So it sounds funny now. I actually laughed when they laughed. But it was G at that time. I hope they heard other raps of his and seen movies before ride along. My Neices are the same age as them and took them them to their first festival. A few years back. And loved ice cube. Couldn’t wait to see him. He put on a good show. Now that I hear it play, I will chuckle a little bit. In that line.
These Youngest are funny as f*** man come on I love Ice Cube I'm 41 years old this was my music I grew up with but I laughed Like crazy when they laughed!!!! These Youngest make Me ada adult appreciate music so much more tgen I ever did!!!!!
Y'all youngins got to understand where Ice Cube was from. He was from a place where shootings happened all the time and that's why he said it was a good day because people got laid out on the regular in Crenshaw and I am not talking about fighting.
fun fact, if you have AOL today, you still pay for your dialup connection and it's still available if you want to use it ;-) Just if you feel like waiting 10 hours for a jpg to load.
Omg! I thought it was just me! Lol I’m like, why aren’t y’all parents schooling y’all on all this good music?! There’s too many artists they claim to not even have HEARD OF, let alone haven’t listened to any of their music! Lol Did their parents own 8-tracks, record players, radios, cassettes...anything?

It's crazy how yall saying it's weird seeing him rap...But it's weird to all of us that yall thought he was just an actor...yall favorite rappers out now...will never sell or match this dude history
@lisabrown, you forgot to mention Mc Ren, Dj Yella and the D.O.C who was the main Co-writer along with the aforementioned Ice Cube. Know your facts before you speak on OUR CULTURE.
@@jasonmccombs8123 He may have been middle class. I don't know but that doesn't matter. But he wasn't from the suburbs. Baldwin Hills is in South Central Los Angeles
I’m a 19 year old in a small town in Ireland how tf didn’t these dudes hear this song before?! I can rap every word to this banger! One of the greatest
Part of the appeal is that they don't do research. That's how you get a true first reaction. I couldn't do it. I'd be googling that shit. Wait til they discover NWA.
Whew, I needed this smile and a feelgood song right about now! You all have no idea what you are doing for the 500K+ subscribers when we watch your joy in discovering music! Keep it up!
This is definitely not a feel-good song, it's meant to be utterly depressing. It's a song about how any day where the cops dont harass you, where you dont get into fights, and where no one you know is murdered is considered a "good day" which is a terrifyingly sad reality for a lot of people.
I am old enough to be your mom and let me tell you, I never laughed so hard watching you guys!! I still LOVE this song! Got it on my MP3. It’s a CLASSIC but dang!!! Y’all brought me to tears crying I was laughing so hard! #AWESOME
I thought it was hilarious! Loved seeing them laugh at that old school way of talking. Love this song, but masculinity has changed a lot, and I think even Ice Cube could dig that.
Ooooohhhh me too. I’m like my sons are younger than you all and they know more about Cube than they did. My boys were shocked that he was in Are We There Yet?? Like did they ever see Straight Outta Compton??
@bdmccoy07 ... SAME! Cube was part of NWA & I saw them react to a Snoop track and they basically acted the same way. I fully respect that these baby’s don’t know who those men were back in the day but they truly need a history lesson. I’m proud of cube and snoop for overcoming everything they did to seem like pushovers to these kids but us fully grown folks know exactly who they are and where they came from so the fact that Cube made Disney movies goes way past breaking racially biased molds in the industry not to mention snoop beating a whole murder case (in real life) and now he runs a children’s football league and chills with Martha Stewart 🤣 IJS ... they made it out of the trap that is the ghetto in this country!
Soooooo classic how the slang he used seemed so funny to y’all!! I’ve heard this song 2 million times and never even thought it was funny until I watched this reaction. So genuine. I needed that laugh.
I felt the same way when they laughed I really started remembering what the lyric really were and I laughed it is kind of funny I love these youngsters and their friends their reactions are genuine and real nobody should be mad at somebody honest reaction!! We are free to feel & interpret music how we want that's what's wonderful about music we can interpret 1 song in so many different ways to help us on any given day!!!! God Bless All!!!!! Stay Safe & Healthy!!!!
Seriously, y'all need to listen to all the NWA from before Cube went solo. They basically built today's rap industry. Check out "F*ck tha Police" from 1988.
GTA San Andres was modeled after this video, the Friday movies, and just 90's West Coast Hip-Hop in general. Watch Gin & Juice by Snoop Dogg (he ain't just a dude who cooks with Martha Stewart)
“I didn’t even have to use the AK” used to be the iconic lyric of this song back in the day because that was life in South Central, the LBC, red flag/blue flag, but they missed it because they were laughing at “jammies” 😂. I’m gonna scoot myself on outta here with my walker with the tennis balls on the end now. Get off my lawn!
Went to Crenshaw High during this time period and this song brings back both good and bad memories. It was fun to flash back with these solid young bucks.
yall stay making me feel old as hell! "I didn't know Ice Cube was a rapper," come on now Ice Cube is basically one of the forefathers of West Coast hip-hop. I mean he was in N.W.A. it doesn't get much more legendary than that.
😵 you're killing me smalls! This old lady still bumps this stuff pulling up to the grocery store. 🤣🤣🤣 NWA was the soundtrack for GenX. ... we would go from listening to NWA to motley crue in the same hour... #onelove #90sruled ...
They have a totally different perspective. They can't believe an iconic actor raps, I still can't believe such a gritty iconic rapper could become a beloved actor.
rosieposiepuddin&pie They probably grew up watching him in movies when they were little. Funny how they say it reminds them of San Andreas, when all that shit was taken from videos like these🤣
This song always makes me think, I’m lucky I grew up when I did. Roles were defined, and people respected it. There were checks and balances if you ran your mouth or acted a fool, and that made life easier to handle. Now it’s, “sir, if you don’t stop existing I’m calling the cops”!
@@katgrrl71 Yes!?!? And if someone listens to a certain genre, ESPECIALLY hip hop, usually someone has some basic background knowledge of and have WANTED to listen to the old school pioneers.... Maybe I'm wrong..... However they are doing their thing and it seems positive....glad they are learning about different music old and new. 🤗
Please listen to more, my god, if our generation wouldn't have looked back at Funkadelic, Afrika Bambaataa,and older music in general, Dre wouldn't have produced classic samples, there wouldn't be RAP/ Hip-Hop, Trap and so much other music that was inspired by these icons, as we know it!
@@mistateearuba They are bullshitting. They are only 2 years younger than me and I heard all this . If they were born say 2004+ it might make more sense.
Especially Ice Cube, they just did a movie about N.W.A. I say bull crap to some of reaction, maybe some are OG but, most are fake. For example there was a song they reacted to twice within a months time and act like it was there first time.
Yes indeed, before Ice 🧊 was an actor he was a serious rapper! He had much respect in the music industry 🙌🏻Hi Tatiana, gonna check you out on your channel.. got your lil bro already, he’s doing a great job 👍🏻
Didn’t mean to write a book about this song but one more thing: “I pulled out the jammy” not “my jammies.” ‘Jammy’ was slang for a part of the male anatomy. So was ‘Jimmy,’ which is weird, I know. The video you’re watching is the edited version but both versions have the ‘Jammy’ lyric. What’s funny about that is: At that time, some people were really offended by explicit lyrics in songs, especially rap songs. Some politicians were trying to pass laws to censor certain artists like NWA and 2 Live Crew. It seemed like they were going after only Black artists though and there was a double standard. For artists like Ice Cube to have his music played on radio stations and video channels on TV, some words had to be changed or edited out. You guys are probably used to there being a clean and dirty version of every song, but it didn’t used to be that way. But some other artists didn’t have to edit their songs because the words they used weren’t considered ‘dirty’ even though they were saying the same thing. Ice Cube wrote this lyric and explicitly said that he took his junk out and put it in someone else’s junk in the filthiest way possible and they played it on every station and channel unedited. He didn’t say ‘pussy’ because then he would have to edit it, but he used another vulgar slang term that meant the exact same thing and there was no way anyone could misunderstand what he said. It’s probably one of the cheesiest lines in gangsta rap but it’s one of the biggest middle fingers to the system.
Punani or punanny, was popular Jamaican slang for female genitalia, during the 90’s. Mainstream America was still very slow on picking up on these terms, and the curses often escaped the censors. Reggae, dancehall, and the drug culture from Jamaica was a big influence on hip hop and American entertainment at the time.
By the way, this is the “edited” version. He uses a lot more profanity on the album version. “Cube” was one of the members of the late 80s gangsta rap group NWA, along with Dr Dre and a couple other guys you probably haven’t heard of lol They were the epitome of hardcore rap group, at least for their day.
I knew the day would come when someone would say they didn’t know the best rapper in N.W.A.was a rapper. You have to do Warren G and Nate Dogg (Dre and Snoops cousins) - Regulate. These two songs were top rap videos back in the day. Great reaction.
I highly recommend that that you watch Straight Outta Compton, Boyz n the Hood, Colors and Mence to Society. Maybe you will get a little better understanding of Ice Cube's music and the times in which it was created.
Totally off the subject...I would love to see your reaction to...Billy Joel's, "we didn't start the fire ". Love watching you amazing young men. Stay safe!
He is one of the best MC's. Check out his album "Amerikkk's Most Wanted", a cut called "No Vaseline", his rage at Eazy E and the music industry at the time; produced by Chuck D of Public Enemy--who work you should check out (Don't Believe the Hype, Fight the Power--from.Spike Lee's movie Do the Right Thing--a soundtrack you must also check out).
@AbraJohnson, Once again know your facts and research your HIP HOP CULTURE PROPERLY MY YOUT. The greatest HIP HOP DISS record in history No Vaseline was from Cubes 2nd Album, The Almighty Death Certificate and was produced by the LENCHMOB to RASSCLART.
@@MrBiz74 I was hoping they would check each on its merit, Amerikka, to see the controversial status/deep truth-telling value of hip hop at that time and No Vaseline as a testament to his MC skills (to me, his best- and one of the best performances on record)--and a scathing but also emotional critique of industry exploitation and betrayal. Thanks, though!
Do you think they know what a pager is or how it works. LoL They mention an 8-track in the Snoopp Dogg Gin and Juice song they reacted to --- right over their head. LoL this is fun.
Yesterday I went back through the history and watched some of your old videos. You guys deserve the love and support you get! You keep it real, and I love that!
I was a teenager in the 90s. I appreciate you guys. So fun to watch your reactions and I love your take on music. You inspire me to keep a wide listening rage ! Thx 😊
53 yr old white east coast teacher who likes classic hip hop & remembers LA riots & watchin Spike Lee break onto the movie scene etc. watching your reactions was key. Eye opening moment- a lot of white people assume if you are black you know Ice Cube, Ice T, Tupac, Dre, Eminem etc no matter where you grew up or how old you are. This rap is like some of the first written history lessons you can get that are being told from a previously unheard voice. Eye opening moment - dig it since the 12th grade = outdated bars but the police scenes could have happened yesterday.
Anyone else laugh when he said Cube got a “ text” & not a “ beep”? If not, then you’re too young! Love these ‘’90’s R&B/rap... all this stuff came out when I was in high school... we grew up with the best ‘80’s songs and had the best R& B / rap in high school and college... everything was good back then.. it was rare that you heard a “ flop” on the radio... I’m sure just the word “ radio” is dating myself... but I’m good..just picture all the hoppin’ house parties with all these artists! 👍💕
My challenge with this gen is they don’t either “don’t know or don’t show” the respect that the culture is owed to do the research on the pioneers of the game and they got all the knowledge at their fingertips. I had to actually go to the library. Maybe it’s Gen X’s fault b/c we raised a gen of ppl who know nothing about the origins of the genre. My children are Gen Y and Z and grandchild Gen alpha and know all of this. My support comes with conditions, learn where you came from so you’ll know where you need to go!
i’m a 45 year old registered nurse and have definitely ended more than 1 shift by telling my co-workers “today i didn’t even have to use my AK. i gotta say it was a good day.”
Lola Paccini Nothing wrong with it, just exemplifies the difference in perspective, and reminds one just how young they are. It just is, what it is. Some of us have kids their age, it's not like the commenter insulted them. They are young, we are old, so?
“Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A. Today was a good day” I was living in South Central LA when this song was released in 1993. You should watch Boyz n the Hood, Straight Outta Compton, Colors, and LA 92 for some context of the times. Ice Cube and his son O’Shea Jackson Jr may be known primarily as actors to today’s audiences, but there is a considerable discography to explore. Love your videos!

This is definitely not a feel-good song, it's meant to be utterly depressing. It's a song about how any day where the cops dont harass you, where you dont get into fights, and where no one you know is murdered is considered a "good day" which is a terrifyingly sad reality for a lot of people.
When they all started laughing at that punany line! 🤣😅🤣😅
@@EJKest2019 hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
@@xavviMy heart just sank at their faces when the cops showed up.
Pleeeease watch "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
I am old enough to be your mom and let me tell you, I never laughed so hard watching you guys!! I still LOVE this song! Got it on my MP3. It’s a CLASSIC but dang!!! Y’all brought me to tears crying I was laughing so hard! #AWESOME
They probably don't know what MP3s are! :D
Greg Norman #TRUTH
I legit wanted to defend Cube everytime time they laughed at lyric. THE NERVE
I thought it was hilarious! Loved seeing them laugh at that old school way of talking. Love this song, but masculinity has changed a lot, and I think even Ice Cube could dig that.
Mannnnnn so did I!!!!!! Lmaoo like yall young asses betta learn today!
Ooooohhhh me too. I’m like my sons are younger than you all and they know more about Cube than they did. My boys were shocked that he was in Are We There Yet?? Like did they ever see Straight Outta Compton??
@bdmccoy07 ... SAME! Cube was part of NWA & I saw them react to a Snoop track and they basically acted the same way.
I fully respect that these baby’s don’t know who those men were back in the day but they truly need a history lesson.
I’m proud of cube and snoop for overcoming everything they did to seem like pushovers to these kids but us fully grown folks know exactly who they are and where they came from so the fact that Cube made Disney movies goes way past breaking racially biased molds in the industry not to mention snoop beating a whole murder case (in real life) and now he runs a children’s football league and chills with Martha Stewart 🤣
IJS ... they made it out of the trap that is the ghetto in this country!
Totally....I love CUBE
Soooooo classic how the slang he used seemed so funny to y’all!! I’ve heard this song 2 million times and never even thought it was funny until I watched this reaction. So genuine. I needed that laugh.
I was trying to figure out what was so funny myself. This is a true classic, everytime I hear it, it never gets old!
I felt the same way when they laughed I really started remembering what the lyric really were and I laughed it is kind of funny I love these youngsters and their friends their reactions are genuine and real nobody should be mad at somebody honest reaction!! We are free to feel & interpret music how we want that's what's wonderful about music we can interpret 1 song in so many different ways to help us on any given day!!!!
God Bless All!!!!!
Stay Safe & Healthy!!!!
Never laughed at this song before but loved their reaction. Definitely had a good laugh
I cracked up at their reaction!!! I was in tears! 🤣
Hey - for those of us that grew up listening to NWA, Ice Cube (after he left), seeing him as a mellowed dad is weird 😉
Yep! The young uns got it backwards! 😄
Kimberlini Bambini 😂😂
Seriously, y'all need to listen to all the NWA from before Cube went solo. They basically built today's rap industry. Check out "F*ck tha Police" from 1988.
That’s the Ice Cube I know...F*ck tha Police. That will always be the O’Shea I know.
Robert Richardson learn your history twins....and also the sample from Isley Brothers 70 s
Second this!
Facts: this should be followed up with Eazy E's Boyz-n-the-Hood.
We want Easy!
YES!! Easy E!!!!!
Are ALWAYS hard!!!
Yes!! I would love to see their reaction to NWA song Boys in the hood! It would be hilarious!
1978 baby here.. and I must say: this is one of the best things to watch on RUclips.. man y'all youngsters got me LITERALLY crying😂😂😂😂😂
GTA San Andres was modeled after this video, the Friday movies, and just 90's West Coast Hip-Hop in general.
Watch Gin & Juice by Snoop Dogg (he ain't just a dude who cooks with Martha Stewart)
The fact you even have to clarify about snoop is just weird af...
The part about Snoop made me belly laugh 😂😂😂
“I didn’t even have to use the AK” used to be the iconic lyric of this song back in the day because that was life in South Central, the LBC, red flag/blue flag, but they missed it because they were laughing at “jammies” 😂. I’m gonna scoot myself on outta here with my walker with the tennis balls on the end now. Get off my lawn!
😂🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
No, you're right.
lol!!!!
Cube is literally one of the top rappers of all time. He's on mount Rushmore.
😂😂😂😂💙
he didn’t say “jammies” he said “jammy” which is a condom 😉
A jammy is slang for a gun and it can also be for a certain male part but it's probably the latter !! And not for a condom !!
Ohhh so not like pyjamas? Cause i lost it as much as they did rofl
Feeling Dolly Parton, Hozier, Johnny Cash.
Laughing at Ice Cube.
Gen-Z constantly surprising me
You nailed it.
😂
Today was a good day because he lived another day in South Central
Went to Crenshaw High during this time period and this song brings back both good and bad memories. It was fun to flash back with these solid young bucks.
yall stay making me feel old as hell! "I didn't know Ice Cube was a rapper," come on now Ice Cube is basically one of the forefathers of West Coast hip-hop. I mean he was in N.W.A. it doesn't get much more legendary than that.
"he got a 'text' from a girl"........lmao, no, no, no! He got paged.
Then he found a pay phone...
Yessirr he got paged haha funny af
I desperately need to see your reaction to Humpty Dance by Digital Underground 🤣
Yeeeesssss!!!!!
Alright stop what your doing.
@@ChrisBennettGameDesign 'Cause I'm about to ruin
Yesssssss great suggestion
yes! good choice. they'd get a kick out of that one
😵 you're killing me smalls! This old lady still bumps this stuff pulling up to the grocery store. 🤣🤣🤣 NWA was the soundtrack for GenX. ... we would go from listening to NWA to motley crue in the same hour... #onelove #90sruled ...
yep! sure would!
too true
I dont even listen to CDs and have this!
Bones, Thugs & Harmony - Crossroads
Yep.....another Fav!! 💃🏾
Yes. A must!
Absolutely ♡
Days of our Lives- Bones, Thugs, and Harmony- Another BANGER!!
Yes!
Check out “Check Yo Self” That’s part 2 of this song.
I would also check out Ice Cube's Steady Mobbin!!!
They have a totally different perspective. They can't believe an iconic actor raps, I still can't believe such a gritty iconic rapper could become a beloved actor.
Y'all had me rollin'! Been listening to this song for 28 years and never laughed this hard while hearing it.
They said they can't imagine Ice Cube rapping. 😅😬🙃
😳🤯🧐🤣
rosieposiepuddin&pie They probably grew up watching him in movies when they were little. Funny how they say it reminds them of San Andreas, when all that shit was taken from videos like these🤣
Blew My Mind when I saw Ice T on Law & Order SVU 💕
That made my beard turn gray.:(
This song always makes me think, I’m lucky I grew up when I did. Roles were defined, and people respected it.
There were checks and balances if you ran your mouth or acted a fool, and that made life easier to handle. Now it’s, “sir, if you don’t stop existing I’m calling the cops”!
I can't wrap my mind around the fact you guys don't know more about old school rap hip hop etc...
Right? Like did ur parents not listen to music....ever? You never had family get togethers where they played old school music?
@@katgrrl71 Yes!?!? And if someone listens to a certain genre, ESPECIALLY hip hop, usually someone has some basic background knowledge of and have WANTED to listen to the old school pioneers.... Maybe I'm wrong..... However they are doing their thing and it seems positive....glad they are learning about different music old and new. 🤗
Please listen to more, my god, if our generation wouldn't have looked back at Funkadelic, Afrika Bambaataa,and older music in general, Dre wouldn't have produced classic samples, there wouldn't be RAP/ Hip-Hop, Trap and so much other music that was inspired by these icons, as we know it!
@@fraydogssixfifty3312 they didn't even know who Rob Bass was.....SMH mmmm mmmm mmm
I refuse to believe that this is the first time y'all have heard this.
Same. Stop pretending guys...
LOL- a 19-year-old guy from Ireland just commented above HE KNEW every word of this song...
@@mistateearuba They are bullshitting. They are only 2 years younger than me and I heard all this . If they were born say 2004+ it might make more sense.
They said they were raised in the church and didn't even have a phone until they were 18 yrs. old.
Especially Ice Cube, they just did a movie about N.W.A. I say bull crap to some of reaction, maybe some are OG but, most are fake. For example there was a song they reacted to twice within a months time and act like it was there first time.
Yes indeed, before Ice 🧊 was an actor he was a serious rapper! He had much respect in the music industry 🙌🏻Hi Tatiana, gonna check you out on your channel.. got your lil bro already, he’s doing a great job 👍🏻
Yo I swear I come back to this vid just to see the "killed the punani" part. It makes me 😭 with laughter every time. Thank you!
hahahahahaha fr
Didn’t mean to write a book about this song but one more thing: “I pulled out the jammy” not “my jammies.” ‘Jammy’ was slang for a part of the male anatomy. So was ‘Jimmy,’ which is weird, I know. The video you’re watching is the edited version but both versions have the ‘Jammy’ lyric.
What’s funny about that is:
At that time, some people were really offended by explicit lyrics in songs, especially rap songs. Some politicians were trying to pass laws to censor certain artists like NWA and 2 Live Crew. It seemed like they were going after only Black artists though and there was a double standard.
For artists like Ice Cube to have his music played on radio stations and video channels on TV, some words had to be changed or edited out. You guys are probably used to there being a clean and dirty version of every song, but it didn’t used to be that way. But some other artists didn’t have to edit their songs because the words they used weren’t considered ‘dirty’ even though they were saying the same thing.
Ice Cube wrote this lyric and explicitly said that he took his junk out and put it in someone else’s junk in the filthiest way possible and they played it on every station and channel unedited. He didn’t say ‘pussy’ because then he would have to edit it, but he used another vulgar slang term that meant the exact same thing and there was no way anyone could misunderstand what he said.
It’s probably one of the cheesiest lines in gangsta rap but it’s one of the biggest middle fingers to the system.
Your comment is being overlooked. For what it's worth, I appreciate this comment. I learned some stuff, so thanks.
Punani or punanny, was popular Jamaican slang for female genitalia, during the 90’s. Mainstream America was still very slow on picking up on these terms, and the curses often escaped the censors. Reggae, dancehall, and the drug culture from Jamaica was a big influence on hip hop and American entertainment at the time.
Thank You 💖
{Bobbi Coates} Damn Bobbi, you know your rap....impressive!!!!!
Jimmy was slang for condoms, at least on the East Coast.
I don't know about Jammies.
By the way, this is the “edited” version. He uses a lot more profanity on the album version.
“Cube” was one of the members of the late 80s gangsta rap group NWA, along with Dr Dre and a couple other guys you probably haven’t heard of lol
They were the epitome of hardcore rap group, at least for their day.
The unedited version is the better version to me. It's just more...Ice Cube-ish. They don't even know. Lol
Right...u can't have a clean version of gangster rap!!!!
Yes... listen to the dirty version
For all days!
I knew the day would come when someone would say they didn’t know the best rapper in N.W.A.was a rapper. You have to do Warren G and Nate Dogg (Dre and Snoops cousins) - Regulate. These two songs were top rap videos back in the day. Great reaction.
I highly recommend that that you watch Straight Outta Compton, Boyz n the Hood, Colors and Mence to Society. Maybe you will get a little better understanding of Ice Cube's music and the times in which it was created.
Totally off the subject...I would love to see your reaction to...Billy Joel's, "we didn't start the fire ". Love watching you amazing young men. Stay safe!
I miss stories like this and Regulate.
REGULATORS
MOUNT UP!
This my jam...
Ice cube was fr the best rapper in NWA
I wasn't even listening to Ice Cube..rap...because I was laughing so hard to the reaction you guys were having..you all are so funny...
He is one of the best MC's. Check out his album "Amerikkk's Most Wanted", a cut called "No Vaseline", his rage at Eazy E and the music industry at the time; produced by Chuck D of Public Enemy--who work you should check out (Don't Believe the Hype, Fight the Power--from.Spike Lee's movie Do the Right Thing--a soundtrack you must also check out).
@AbraJohnson, Once again know your facts and research your HIP HOP CULTURE PROPERLY MY YOUT. The greatest HIP HOP DISS record in history No Vaseline was from Cubes 2nd Album, The Almighty Death Certificate and was produced by the LENCHMOB to RASSCLART.
I forgot about No Vaseline. OUCH.
@@MrBiz74 I was hoping they would check each on its merit, Amerikka, to see the controversial status/deep truth-telling value of hip hop at that time and No Vaseline as a testament to his MC skills (to me, his best- and one of the best performances on record)--and a scathing but also emotional critique of industry exploitation and betrayal. Thanks, though!
"Didnt know Ice Cube was a rapper"........N.W.A will blow your mind then.
And this is the clean version. 🤣
Damn I feel old 🤣
These kids didn't know ice cube was gangster, destroying record label offices and shit 🤣
“This remind me of San Andreas” this song was IN San Andreas
And San Andreas was based on this era,the songs,videos,the fashion, even a lot of the cars
@@makaveliuk86 I'm pretty sure Grove Street is directly modelled off of the culdesac in the video
@@TeeBar420 yeh that sounds right
I wonder if Ice Cube will see this😂 His pager... 📟 wow that brings back memories 🤣 my best friend had one back in the day!
Same! Also called it a beeper-
@@kimberlinibambini1988 yep :)
Do you think they know what a pager is or how it works. LoL They mention an 8-track in the Snoopp Dogg Gin and Juice song they reacted to --- right over their head. LoL this is fun.
Yesterday I went back through the history and watched some of your old videos. You guys deserve the love and support you get! You keep it real, and I love that!
One day I watched these reaction vids for HOURS.
@@KTRS Hahaha! Yep, that was my day yesterday! 😆
@@raistlin1505 Mine too.
DUDE..... these young bucks know Cube from MOVIES!?!?! I'm losing my shit over here. NWA? nah? holy shit.
His own son played him in straight outta Compton
Check out Kriss Kross "Jump". Old school banger. Much love, twins!
Ah shiiiiit. I almost forgot about them and their backwards pants. 😂😂😂
Ice Cube was part of NWA with Eazy E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, and MC-Ren
You can tell how old these songs are by the reference to beepers. Guarantee they think “the beep” is a cellphone alert 😂
Summertime - DJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH Prince
OMG< YES, Summertime.
100% yes please
and "I'm looking for the one"

You must REVIEW SUMMERTIME!!!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!
"Its weird seeing Ice Cube as a rapper" ROFL im german and even I know Ice Cube as an OG rapper x(
I was a teenager in the 90s. I appreciate you guys. So fun to watch your reactions and I love your take on music. You inspire me to keep a wide listening rage ! Thx 😊
Same!! I almost fell out my chair when they said they didn't know Cube was a rapper! Love the organic reactions...
53 yr old white east coast teacher who likes classic hip hop & remembers LA riots & watchin Spike Lee break onto the movie scene etc. watching your reactions was key. Eye opening moment- a lot of white people assume if you are black you know Ice Cube, Ice T, Tupac, Dre, Eminem etc no matter where you grew up or how old you are. This rap is like some of the first written history lessons you can get that are being told from a previously unheard voice. Eye opening moment - dig it since the 12th grade = outdated bars but the police scenes could have happened yesterday.
The background music is from the Isley Brothers "Footsteps in the Dark". Check them out, too.!
Thank you...I recognized it but couldn't place it...another love for an oldster-the Isley Bros....
The Isley Brothers groove so tight.
Then they'll say I didnt know Mr Big was an Isley Brother. And so on.
Anyone else laugh when he said Cube got a “ text” & not a “ beep”? If not, then you’re too young! Love these ‘’90’s R&B/rap... all this stuff came out when I was in high school... we grew up with the best ‘80’s songs and had the best R& B / rap in high school and college... everything was good back then.. it was rare that you heard a “ flop” on the radio... I’m sure just the word “ radio” is dating myself... but I’m good..just picture all the hoppin’ house parties with all these artists! 👍💕
exactly. There was no such thing as "texts" in the freakin' 90s LOL!!
I DIED 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@neetrab Had them in the late 90's.
My challenge with this gen is they don’t either “don’t know or don’t show” the respect that the culture is owed to do the research on the pioneers of the game and they got all the knowledge at their fingertips. I had to actually go to the library. Maybe it’s Gen X’s fault b/c we raised a gen of ppl who know nothing about the origins of the genre. My children are Gen Y and Z and grandchild Gen alpha and know all of this. My support comes with conditions, learn where you came from so you’ll know where you need to go!
i’m a 45 year old registered nurse and have definitely ended more than 1 shift by telling my co-workers “today i didn’t even have to use my AK. i gotta say it was a good day.”
"I didn't know he was a rapper"
That's adorable😊
cause he didn’t know what’s with that
LOL
Lola Paccini Nothing wrong with it, just exemplifies the difference in perspective, and reminds one just how young they are. It just is, what it is. Some of us have kids their age, it's not like the commenter insulted them. They are young, we are old, so?
Msboochie2 that was not the original comment from the person, that’s why i answered like that lol
Story telling by Slick Rick...Children’s Story
Yess!!!!!!
It’s hard to believe they’ve never seen NWA’s, “Straight Outta Compton” video...
I don't believe it.
I think these kids didn't have cell phones until they were 18 they were seriously raised in the church.
😆 yeah I call bs on this one. They said they have seen the movie Friday and the theme song of the movie is literally by Ice Cube!😂
Bro even i'm 18 i love ice cube as a rapper his so sick and now i'm shocked about nowadays generation they didn't know about 90s old school hip hop
“Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A.
Today was a good day”
I was living in South Central LA when this song was released in 1993. You should watch Boyz n the Hood, Straight Outta Compton, Colors, and LA 92 for some context of the times. Ice Cube and his son O’Shea Jackson Jr may be known primarily as actors to today’s audiences, but there is a considerable discography to explore. Love your videos!
I remember being floored that Ice Cube was an actor.
So interesting to see the gang honestly laughing at the sex-lyrics! Cannot remember that kind of reaction back in the days from anybody.
Nervous laughter.
