Receiving his stage name, metaphorically for having game with the ladies so smooth and cool as an ice cube.
O'Shea Jackson a.k.a. Ice Cube still has his game on lock with twenty one years relevant in music/media as a rapper, music producer, actor, screen writer and businessman. Following his career, you see Ice Cube as an educated, family man with a good business plan living his life, utilizing his talent, and collaborating with innovators to move forward in life's journey.
On March 15, 2008, Ice Cube partnered up with Microsoft Corp.
Silverlight and
SXSW to live stream a performance exclusively on
http://www.uvntv.com/ from Austin, TX. Ten months later, December 14, 2008 promoted by
http://www.transmissionentertainment.com/event/ice_cube/ , Austin fans get an up close and personal concert at the Mohawk
http://www.mohawkaustin.com/ with Ice Cube, WC,
TrickTrick, DJ Crazy Toones, and
Lench Mob Records en route.
The show was bananas taking concert goers down memory lane with old school gangster rap music. You could see hands in air, shout outs on cue, it was just live and a heck of party where you could get your photograph done in front of a green screen, buy Ice Cube memorabilia, and shake local artist hands (Gerald G

Crunk highlight for me was when Ice Cube performed Trick Trick's "Let It Fly" produced by
Lil Jon". WC and Ice Cube sharing the stage with
DJ Crazy
Toones,
www.myspace.com/djcrazytoones was a site to see for someone like me, relatively amateur to old school rap tours.
Ice Cube gave a great performance but more importantly while being on tour, relating with the fans, he now has a few more fans because of his hospitality, talent, and stage presence. I witnessed him sign many memorabilia items from his past projects.
Lench Mob Records ( founded in 1994 by Ice Cube but revived in 2006 with his management company, The Firm, which distributes
Bigg Swag Records home to WC
www.myspace.com/wc,
Dj Crazy
Toones and
Tha Trapp) was circulating around the venue sharing laughs and
daps, nothing but
lub, motivation, and inspiration.
Ice Cube is a very genuine person on a personal level, I saw many fans amazed at just how humble and laid back he was. A very rare commodity with diva type artist, making request from the promoters. Shout out to Google search,
