Send 'em in. [chuckles]
"Who played Ice Cube in "Straight Outta Compton?""
What's that young pretty boy name?
I think his name is O'Shea Jackson, III.
He did a great job, but he ain't nothing like his daddy.
"Who is Ice Cube's best friend?"
My best friend is my wife, Kim.
Best friend I ever had.
"What would Kevin Hart say?"
Kevin Hart wouldn't say nothin'.

Depends, you know, you're talking about
the one and only Dr. Dre.

"Is Ice Cube coming out with another "Friday?""
Hopefully, but you never know, you know?
It's not in my hands.

It'd be like "Fast and Furious."
"Is Ice Cube East or West Coast?"
West Coast, baby.
I am the West Coast Warlord.

I might stop, you know what I mean,
at the cabinet and grab a snack.
"What is Ice Cube's good day?

and nothing bad happened to my family, my friends,
or anybody I know, that is a good day.

to come out of LA, baby, Korn.

We ran into each other and it was just a good vibe.
We did music together,
went on the Family Values Tour with them,
friends to this day.

How can I live in "Anaconda?"
Oh, did I live in the movie "Anaconda?"
I was like, man, how can I live in the anaconda?
Yes, Ice Cube did live in "Anaconda."
Since I'm the black guy you probably thought I'll die

The baddest villain since "Jaws."
Don't get on his bad side, he'll shit on you.
"How did Ice Cube and Dr. Dre meet?"
I met Dr. Dre because his cousin
lived right down the street from me.
I was always waiting for him to come over.
He came over, I rapped for him, the rest is history.

"Ice Cube, first song?"
Is it the first hit song
or just the first song I ever wrote?
'cause the first song I ever wrote was kind of,
it was boo boo, it was a few years of rapping.
I started rapping when I was 14.
I wrote a song for The Wrecking Crew when I was 15.
It was a song called "The Cabbage Patch Dance."
It was, you know, my first song written, very proud of it.
And then I wrote "Boyz-n-the-Hood" when I was 16.
"Ice Cube's "yay, yay.""
George Clinton,
I actually got it off of a "Knee Deep" record.
He'd say,

♪ As long as the knee deep when she did the freak with me ♪
- That's where the "Yay Yay" comes from, George Clinton.
"Ice Cube's eyebrow."
