I was given the name by my brother when I was about eleven or twelve years old. He was older than me, and around that age I was starting to get into girls, and when they would call the house for him, and when he was not there, I would try to talk to them. I was trying to be the man and trying to get them to come and see me, not worrying about him. When he found out... he started calling me Ice Cube as a joke because he said I was trying to be too cool. I just liked it and started telling everybody in the hood "my name is Ice Cube."
Ice CubeIf I only had 24 hours to live, I would spend the time telling everybody I love that I love them.
Ice CubeNowadays, you can be yourself. You don't have to put on faรงade. You can be who you are and still be just as successful as the ones who put on the fake faรงade. You know, it's like reality is just as important as fiction.
Ice CubeWhat I learned from architectural drafting is that everything has to have a plan to work. You just can't wing it. I can't get all the materials I need for a house and just start building. Whether it's a career, family, life - you have to plan it out.
