Ice Cube Working On New Indie LP

Tuesday, January 24, 2006
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Ice CubeIce Cube, one of gangsta-rap’s originators, is working on his latest album, Laugh Now Cry Later. With his mainstream popularity in tact, the rapper-turned-movie exec explained how this LP will be a strictly independent release.

“What is a record company going to do for me that I can’t do for myself? Nothing,” Ice Cube said. “It’s nothing they can offer me to have a major percent of my record. It’s all about ownership at this time.”

“People are caught up in double, triple platinum,” Cube said. “That’s lovely, but what’s double platinum if you not getting double-platinum money? It’s all about what you take home to your family at the end of the day if you gonna make this game a profession.”

Ice Cube’s upcoming release will feature high-profile producers Lil Jon, Swizz Beats, and Scott Storch, as well as rap cameos by Snoop Dogg, Juvenile, and Juelz Santana.

Perhaps known best for his starring role in the Friday film series, Cube says he will not work on any more films until after this album is released on June 6.

It's about time ice cube came back with an album... That single "child support" is thunderous and points out a lot of truths in hip-hop... It's also good to see he is putting the album out independently....when you have than kind of power it's good to not have to deal with the politics and bullcrap of a major label. W/s!

Somehow this feels like a plot to get more people to go see his next movie. I mean this album is like 10 years overdue.

I'm elated to hear of another album. I won't call it a comeback because he never left. Nothing is wrong with wanting to venture out to do other stuff. Make that money. He is one of the best gangsta rappers to ever bless us with his lyrics. I don't think he should return to his n.w.a days because people grow up and change.....and nothings wrong with a little change as long as it's for the best. I wish him all the best of luck. Hope fully other west coast artists will return to the music and show some of those studio gangsta's what rapping is really all about.

Ok, tupac, m'lad. Don't make me rise from the dead to let you kno a thing or two. It's very encouraging to see the elders come down to show the younger a thing or two. The great orator, chuck d warned you all to go independent and now the lot of you are listening. Well good luck to him and you all. Especially you tupac.
