Remember that from your homie Ice Cube and always, always, man, give 110 percent. And give thanks to the man upstairs. Be grateful. You know, I was a n**** with attitude, but now the attitude is gratitude”.
The sentiment struck a chord, proving that while Cube’s legacy may have been built on raw honesty and street anthems, his impact now extends to inspiring a new digital generation.
