Famous rapper Ice Cube (O’Shea Jackson Sr.) is highly involved in a new basketball league he started and also on a new podcast tour that he’s named “F*ck the Gatekeepers.”

According to Cube, there’s a “club” of gatekeepers with an agenda and he’s not in it.

He recently spoke to talk show host Bill Maher to go over more of his accusations, claiming the rap industry and prison industry are directly linked.

According to Ice Cube, many of the same music industry executives pushing rappers to include violent and hate-filled lyrics in their music also have ties to the private prison industry.

Speaking to Maher on the “Club Random” show, Cube said violent rap lyrics that increase division and crime feed directly into the high black crime rate and the private prison’s profits.

It’s worth remembering that Cube himself broke into the scene in the late 1980s with songs about being anti-police and encouraging gang lifestyles.

Whereas over the years, he’s become more skeptical of the left’s views and even worked with former President Trump.

Maher asked who exactly the gatekeepers are and the two agreed there are too many politically correct debates in society. Cube said those debates are just to divide people and aren’t meaningful.

When asked exactly who the gatekeepers are, Cube said he doesn’t “know their names,” but that if you follow money trails up high enough, you will discover who they are.

While Cube admitted he’d written violent lyrics and encouraged a criminal lifestyle, he said the encouragement of certain types of music and distribution and not spreading others is part of “narrative” building by the elites.

Maybe he’s onto something here; although it seems like if nobody wanted to hear violent rap music, it would probably quickly fade in popularity.
