When Ice Cube said today feels like a good day to burn a bridge or two (shout out 311) and go on a podcast tour to get things off his chest, I wish I had assumed that meant Tucker Carlson. I would have been popping popcorn this entire time.

To be clear, no, the rapper/actor/mogul is not a secret conservative We have a habit of lumping people in as "right-wing" if they say a single thing we agree with. Cube, however, is an ally in that he is speaking out about how progressives failed his community. it presents an opportunity if conservatives are smart enough to take it.

The rapper gets told to "stay in his lane," which makes him the perfect first guest for Tucker's "Stay In Your Lane" series.

Los Angeles hasn't changed much if at all in the thirty years since Cube first blew up with NWA. Another thing that hasn't changed is, ironically enough, the political leanings of the politicians who keep getting elected.

Woke leftists just write checks to organizations like the Black Lives Matter Political Organization to signal their virtue.

OR, as Cube alludes, they at least say they are going to.

The kicker is a lot of people saying "I'll give them money," but they don't even give me money. They just get the article wrote. Everybody thinks they're great And they never even give the money.”

All for the best, since out of the hundreds of millions raised to support the community, little of it has found its way to the community.

Most of the time a lot of people are siphoning that money off the top.

It's been fun watching Cube's... I guess transformation? As an oldhead who grew up in the 80s and 90s, Ice Cube always came across as the most politically minded of NWA, and NOT in a secret conservative way.

Then in 2020, when Cube had a list of policies for his community he wanted to discuss with the two presidential candidates, the Trump campaign was the only one who reached out. Joe Biden saying "you ain't black" if you don't vote for him no questions asked turned out to be a plank in the Democrat campaign platform. And after getting continued attacks for not falling in line with the Democrat party and having his personal medical decisions made public for not complying with the Democrat narrative, Cube's tired of being told to stay in his lane.

Tucker says next he'll be sitting down with Ice Cube in his studio for a full interview. If Cube doesn't have Carlson lay down some rhymes, then I don't see the point of any of this.
