Ice Cube seems to know what it takes to have longevity in his career. He started out as a kid from Compton who wanted his voice heard through his music. Today he is a well respected actor and movie executive. Cube says his next move is to own his own movie studio because “Hollywood ain’t cool enough”.
In his interview with ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, he revealed that he did not like Hollywood, and here is why:
It ain’t cool enough yet. I mean, it’s still got gatekeepers. It’s got gatekeepers everywhere. Cool people still have a hard time showing what they got in Hollywood. And I’ve been fighting my whole career to show a different side and prove naysayers — not prove them wrong, because I don’t think you should get your energy from negative people, like, “He don’t believe in me so I’m doing it. That’s the wrong approach. You should just do it ’cause you feel like you the shit and you can do it. [LAUGHTER] Not “He don’t believe in me. Now I’m doing it.” No. So I just wanted to show, you could make great movies out here. You don’t have to spend $200 million or $100 million to make a great movie. And people can make money, have fun, enjoy it. Show a different side of life. But there’s not enough Ice Cubes out there. There’s not enough Ice Cubes getting a chance to do their thing. And hopefully my example will break down more doors.
Cube then stated that he needs to own his own studio.
I’m ready to run a studio. I’m ready to green light movies, and be in it to win it, you know? It’s close. It’ll happen.
That would definitely be an iconic move once that happens. The question is, do you think the “gatekeepers” will try and block that from happening?
