      Yes! Ice Cube came through once again with the knowledge. Compare his interview to puffy and russell's and you will see how Cube can speak his mind, but puffy and russ can't say what they really think, thats because Cube is a challenger and THEY are a couple of no-good bargainers.

      Charlie asked Ice Cube about rap controversies. I do remember when NWA came out with their controversial records. Rap was barely ever played on the radio. Actually, there wasn't much "radio ready" rap, except maybe for the Fresh Prince and the Fat Boys. You don't hear much about rap controversies anymore, unless a rapper gets shot in real life.
