@@zipzip8239 what is stupid is buying virtual property you don't own but lend, with no actual hard value in itself. You ever resell a digital copy of anything? Didn't think so. Never has a market been so duped into buying such useless garbage and the entire industry has suffered from it
The whole point of digital was supposedly to go green and yet lithium is not a renewable resource and causes irrepairable damage to the ecosystem. You been conned.

Ice Cube drops wisdom with what’s in his bag - invest in the tangible (on buying vinyl) respect your elders (Run DMC) be a gentleman (wife’s picks), give respect where it’s due (Public Enemy)
Cube is like "i'm buying this stuff for my wife." uh, huh..wink ! Nothing wrong with being a fan of "I Love Lucy" or "Erykah Badu" those are some bad ass women. 🖖est 🌊oast !!
"Selling more records don't make you better" love when Cube said that because it's true... there's lots of artists that have no gold or platinum status but they still make pretty damn good music
Vinyl is the best….. when I was a kid my dad took me to an underground record store called underdog records…. Smelled like weed and the library! I miss that place
How is it fake? Explain? That's like saying the internet or netflix is fake, stupid statement. Music isnt tangible...and vinyl is a piece of plastic. Now where is the fake reality?
@@slicktom300 "it's fake cos you cant hold it" so a piece of plastic defines your reality? Air is not intangible, doesnt make it fake! It's a dumb comment. You can download music,save it burn it.
😢You were in _Amoeba_ and I wasn't there... We could've shopped for music together, Daddy. I love Erykah Badu's first album. I know it front to back. I used to collect all of her imports from _Tower Records_ as well. $7.99 for a single was kinda steep, but hey, well worth it. If I were to buy some music right now on physical copy, I'd buy Take 6's debut album (remastered), Mr. Grover Washington Jr.'s _Live at The Bijou,_ Prince's _Sign o' the Times_ (on vinyl), Special Ed's first & second album (on vinyl) and probably a few others. Oh, I just love Public Enemy. I was obsessed w/ Mr. Chuck D's voice.
He is right about the digital. You are basically just renting the music intill you inevitably lose the account or just stop using it because something better always comes.
Nice Mix!!! I like what he said about it might not being there.........I've always FELT/SAID THE SYSTEM COULD/WILL PROBABLY CRASH and we will lose that stuff. It is good to have actual hard copies on hand.
It doesn't have anything to do with crashing, it is a format that can be viewed, altered, or stolen by third parties at any time. Not to mention digital art is like owning a digital sofa. Or paying for digital food. People are paying for the "rights" to BORROW a virtual copy of somebody else's property with no resale or inherent value in itself. You ever met any private dealers for "digital" art? Or hears about anybody selling their digital music/movie collection? It's all a scam a con of convenience to get people to pay for nothing and devalue the arts in this country. It's mind boggling
I was literally walking down the street once came up on a corner...out nowhere Erica Badu just comes opposite way with a friend. She was cool as hell and prettiest, tiniest black woman I ever seen. Turned out she was in town for a show.
I believe that what Ice Cube meant by his comment of digital being fake reality was the audio sound (digital vs analog). I agree with him in that respect. IMHO, there is nothing better than listening to music from vinyl (analog). Nothing wrong with digital, in this day and age it has become the norm...
"Digital is fake reality." Amen, Cube.
stupidest quote i've heard in awhile
@@zipzip8239 Why? I would like to read what made you think that

It's no surprise real artist consistently sell more "real" qlbums whereas corny pophop rap and country sells more digital "fake" songs

Ice Cube loves his wife and is always thinking of her, I respect that.
Cube went straight for the box sets. Classic power move.
I wonder if Amoeba charges artists who do this.
Jonathan Agee if I were rich, that’s all I would by
@@fede018 - I think they get to keep what they pick. That’s the compensation deal.
Does Amoeba pay for the shopping sprees to promote the store? That is a pretty sweet deal, and the videos are pretty enjoyable.
Everyone else gets the store to-go bag. Cube brings his own nap sack. Boss af.
Ice Cube's Wife - What's in My Bag?
And her picks are for her husband.
Pedro Ventura this post should be pinned:)
Ice Cube gonna melt his wife’s heart.
or freeze it with ICE!!!

I see wut u did therr
"Digital's just a promise that might not be kept tomorrow". Some one is gonna reuse that quote one day, when Apple or whoever closes down (and no business lasts forever). Artists and albums already disappear from subscription services. Vinyl will outlive us all. Leave it to your kids.
VINYL is the only way to go!!
Vinyl gets worn down each use though. Digital is the only true forever living format, if you're smart enough to download it.
I love collecting vinyl too, but come on.
@@jmorales09 get a download too, although I buy CDs and rip them myself, save yer vinyl for proper listening sessions and use your digital copies for daily background music.
Besides, you can’t roll a blunt on an MP3 beotch.
"Digital is a promise that might not be kept tomorrow" that's brilliant!
“selling more records doesn’t mean you’re better” HEARD THAT
Ice Cube's admiration for I Love Lucy was pretty fucking cute and unexpected lol.

"he's a sweetheart" -50 cent on ja rule :)
Ice Cube at Amoeba?
His picks are Erykah Badu and Aretha Franklin?
And a I Love Lucy lunchbox? Whaattt!? Good picks👍
Ice Cube has old school taste for sure. West Coast stylin
sayvar44 music is versatile so js
sayvar44 Well he did pick most of em for his wife 💀
@sayvar44 wtfym
What a good husband!
ieva indeed. Smart to keep women pacified with material objects. Just don’t expect anything in return
ieva not bitching about anything, just giving my 2 cents
@@SeanPeckham-xe2gt it was a joke you dim wit
"I Love Lucy...kills all that shit" is quote of the year so far.
"Selling more records don't mean you better." No truer words have ever been spoken.
Ice ...such a grounded and humble icon...much respect
Humble? From a guy who refers to himself as the "Don Mega"...
Humble doesn't feature in his limited vocabulary.
Nothing humble about a man wearing his own name of his top
So true on Badu, I love her! Cube knows
Thank you Amoeba and Ice Cube. I've watched about 10 of these. As a true fan of music, this is my new favorite way to find cool new shit.
I got goose bumps, when he pulled out that lunch box. I love you cube.
Amoeba doesn’t discriminate with artists they bring in. Love the variety of artists of different genres sharing music they enjoy.
Cube: Run DMC are the greatest they are kings
Also Cube: Public Enemy is the greatest hip hop group ever
crazy seeing his perspective on hiphop and who he gives credit to lol. this is coming from the mouth of a man who changed music himself haha. so awesome.
Why are you laughing?
monsterq6 right!! So cool

Saint Martins Erykah's is a pretty good actress as well...she was really good in the Cider House Rules... Heavy D was in it as well
Cube gave them their props. And ain’t nothing wrong with buying shit for your wife and letting fools know what the real shit is.
I always felt Public Enemy was, to borrow from the Clash, "The only rap group that mattered."
Noice!
Never liked the Clash.
Always trust people who appreciate Billie Holiday
He was like "shiiiit Valentine's Day is comin up"
I love Lucy is absolutely the best television show ever made. And I can’t believe that Ice Cube and I are on the same page about that 😂
Grew up watching it. It was a first of its kind and changed television in many ways
I love the distinction between the BEST and MOST DANGEROUS!
Cube sayin vinyl is the best is what makes me admire the man even more
"Selling more records don't make you better" love when Cube said that because it's true... there's lots of artists that have no gold or platinum status but they still make pretty damn good music
"Just cuz u sell more records....don't mean you better"
Hell yes
We knew he was going to pull the Public Enemy, Run DMC. I was surprised no male Motown joints but the bag is only so big.
Awesome to see IC give so many props to the ladies. Did not expect that.
Erykah getting much love as she should. I need Baduizm on vinyl. My original CD from 97 has seen better days.
Ice cube wearing an ice cube hoodie👍
They don’t come much more legendary than him
I've been a big fan since the 80's‼️ Great selections cube🎶🎵💣
Damn, he got some bad ass shit!! So many great artists mentioned in this video, it's crazy!
Noah Boddy
Agreed.
this was the day l met him!
Aaaaaye that's cool!
His new album is proof positive he's never lost his touch AND he's gotten better.
The Gilman his style is timeless honestly that’s why it’s still great

Please never stop making these videos

Damn....now I wanna marry Cube. He's right about Public Enemy.

Nice cover Cube lol men love Lucy to no shame
My boy Cube smashing digital music.
0:49 oh shit, 808 on top of the tuner. Awesome. How it should be.
Cube's best album was after he moved here and got with The Bomb Squad. West meets East bombastic music.
nope ! Cube's best album is Death certificate.
I have to track down that Public Enemy box set.
Somebody hit up Public Enemy - Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Professor Griff, and tell him about Cube's final pick in this video.
pretty sure they know he's a fan lol
Good point about Digital at the beginning
Gee. What a surprisingly versatile selection.
I love you CUBE💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Ice que des bonnes selections !
he is adorable
This is awesome
*Nice Cube* 😌
Idk why, but I was hoping ice cube would whip out some obscure jazz and neo classical jams. But his choices made more sense and here cool too.
My boy Cube!
Smart man on every level: husband, music choice, visionary.
Can't relate to any of his choices but damn is he right about digital. Vinyl forever...
Cube for president
He ain’t lying about public enemy ✊🏾
