Welp, after a brief disappearance, I'm officially back in the restaurant game. Fuck me, right? This time around, the game has definitely changed, and much like mainstream hip-hop, not for the better. I have come in contact with a few new characters this time around, and with this long awaited third installment of Black is the New Orange, I'm gonna introduce their stankin' asses to you...all of my fans...all three of you (hi mom).
I know by the name, one might envision a leprechaun of African-American descent, but this actually the government name of one of the greatest rappers of the "gangsta" era. Ladies and gentlemen, lets give a warm happy birthday to Mr. Imakedoughbutdon'tcallmeDoughBoy...ICE CUBE!
Yes, the former N-word with an attitude and a creative mind behind one of the best comedic films of the past 20 years (I'm talking about Friday) turns 44 today. 22 years ago he was rocking a jheri curl, I miss the jheri curl.
Right now, Mr. Cube can be seen on television imposing his "gangsta" on cans of Coors Lite. He's also on the national Kings of the Mic tour this summer (when I say national, I mean anywhere but the Chicago-land area) along with fellow hip-hop legends LL Cool J, Public Enemy, and De La Soul. Here's a medley of my favorite Don Mega jams that help me forgive him for the whole Are We There Yet? debacle. You're welcome.
