I first heard Ice Cube when I was little. First song was, 'A Bitch is A Bitch', with Too Short.

Loved the song right from the get go. I admit I didnt care to much for Too Short then, but after listening to his calm flows and bad ass beats, I began to like him. But there was something about that song that clicked in this white boys head. I don't know what it was, and I didnt go around calling girls the B word either.

I had bought the tape(yes tape, so you can predate how old I am :P) from the Fair one year. When that song came on I was rolling. I had never heard anything like it before. For the longest time I never listend to any other rap or bought anymore tapes. Why? Because I was little. I still dont know how I managed to buy the tape in the first place. I guess the people didnt care at the Fair that year. Lucky for me right?

It wasn't until I moved to Las Vegas and met a friend who had more of his albums. Lethal Injection, Predator, and Death Certificate. After listing to those, I was hooked on rap music. Right around then I was exposed to Dr.Dre as well. A great man in his own right, but Ice Cube had more albums out. Did I buy the albums for myself? Nope. I couldnt. I wasnt of age yet to buy that great stuff. I never asked my parents to buy them either and I don't know why. They had given me so much freedom to explore my interests. Hell I even listend to NIN(The Downward Spiral)  and I had got that from the BMG music club.lol My friend was nice enough to let me borrow them whenever I wanted to listen to them.

To make a long story short because I'm drinking right now and thinkin' back about my childhood, I got to see Ice Cube in concert for the first time. What's even more great is I won the tickets from this website(Bakotopia!!!)because I had been trying to buy some but since I get off work late, the box office is always closed.

You have to see him live! The next time he is here in Bakersfield, you need to go. HAVE TO GO. You will not regret it!

That show was one of the best hip hop shows Bako has seen. I got to interview Cube before the show. We have live pix running in the 9/4 issue of Bakotopia mag, and the full interview in the 9/18 edition. Glad you had a blast...peace!
