Ice Cube is one of the great game changers of hip hop.

We first heard him as part of N.W.A., but that was just the beginning of Dr Dre's ascent in popular culture.

Join me, Sam Fisch as I talk movies, television, music, and comedy with actor/screenwriter/comedian Allen Maldonado from the hit TV series Black-ish and The Last O.G, starring Anthony Anderson, Cedric The Entertainer, Tracy Morgan, and Tiffany Haddish.

In 1989 the D.O.C. was on the verge of becoming recognized as one of Hip Hop's preeminent emcee's among the likes of LL Cool J, KRS-1, and Rakim. But only a few short months after the release of his debut album "No One Can Do It Better" he was involved in a near fatal car crash that cost him his voice and self-esteem. However, with the love of Erykah Badu and their daughter Puma he has gained true knowledge of self.

He talks about meeting Dr. Dre and being instrumental in helping N.W.A. usher in the era of Gangsta Rap. He also recalls feeling left out when the lights became brightest and the other members were pushed to the forefront.
