Bigger sell-out?
Who is the bigger sell-out, Ice-T or Ice Cube?

Re: Bigger sell-out?
Ice Cube for sure. Ice-T is still 'cool' on Law and Order SVU. Ice Cube's movies are un-watchable for anyone above the age of 6.

Ice Cube....for that horrendous XXX sequel....

Re: Bigger sell-out?
I agree with you guys. I mean, Ice Cube really didn't fall that far, he didn't have the gangsta background. He was in NWA, but not as hardcore as Ice-T. He started off in Boyz n the Hood and Friday, and is now taking nut shots from toddlers in Disney movies.
On the other hand, Ice-T was a drug dealer, pimp, bank robber. The SVU character really isn't too big of a stretch (although the reality show is kinda lame). He may have changed the most from who he originally was, but he hasn't lost all street cred or anything, like Cube.

I just have watched a lot of SVU lately, and keep thinking how much of a change it is from his original self to doing TV shows and voicing video games - but he's still kept his dignity.

And he doesn't have a series of commercials chronicling his epic feud with a can of Coors Light.

Re: Bigger sell-out?
Ice-T wrote a song called "Cop Killer", and is now a cop on TV...

Dre has sort of sold out in commercials, but I don't know that it's as egregious. He also really didn't start that "hard."

 No matter what, I could NEVER cheer for Dirt and Urine.

Re: Bigger sell-out?
They're artists. Neither has sold out because it's what they're expected to do.
They say that English surnames came from what you did with your life. I'm so glad my last name isn't Dickinson.

I can't remember which album my parents confiscated more times: The Iceberg or AmeiKKKa's Most Wanted.

I got into rap just a little after each of those came out, around my freshman year in HS, about the time The Chronic and, later, Doggystyle came out. My parents straight-up banned MTV from our house due to those videos.
