Ice Cube Defends Gangster Rap To Michael Eisner

Last night Ice Cube made an appearance on Michael Eisner’s talk show Conversations with Michael Eisner. The former CEO of Disney interviewed Cube on his success, his new ventures, and on his latest music video.

Eisner pointed out the atrocities in his music video “Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It,” and saw clearly the irony in the parallels between rap music and past events.

So how could gangsta rap be the cause of all these global problems?”
