Ice Cube Talks ‘Man Down,’ Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ & Making Sure ‘Straight Outta Compton’ Was ‘On Point’


Ice Cube caught up with 'Billboard' to talk about his new album 'Man Down' and much more.

The South Central icon’s unfiltered thoughts and cinematic pen play out across 19 tracks featuring Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Killer Mike, E-40 and a first-ever collaboration with Xzibit. About an hour before hopping on a Zoom with Billboard, Kendrick Lamar shook up rap’s landscape when he dropped a metaphorical bomb on the industry with his surprise GNX album.
