AUSTRALIAN TOUR OCTOBER 2010
“Simply put, Ice Cube is an Icon.”
Ice Cube announces a New Album and a National Tour.
White picket-fenced Australia, consider yourself warned. Legendary West Coast rapper Ice Cube is touring the country this October, and we are predicting a lyrical riot.
You do not need much knowledge of rap music history to know that the name Ice Cube is synonymous with controversy. From his early days with N.W.A. to his subsequent solo career, Cube’s music has been blamed for a lot of bad stuff: inciting violence, racism, homophobia and sexism to name some. There is no denying that on the surface his lyrics are often irreverent and vulgar, but listen a little more closely and you will also hear the prophetic voice of a misplaced urban mass in turmoil. Out of Cube’s mouth, the profane becomes the prolific and the rap becomes the voice of revolution.
Today, Ice Cube is recognised around the world as one of the most influential and important figures in rap history. He has recorded eight studio albums, which together have sold in excess of 10 million units. His debut solo EP Kill At Will was the first hip-hop EP to reach both gold and platinum record sales in the U.S, and his 1992 album The Predator debuted at number one on both the pop and R&B charts; the first album in history to do so.
In 2008 Ice Cube brought his ‘Straight Outta Compton’ show to Australia, playing to rave reviews around the country. The tour included two consecutive sold-out nights at Sydney’s iconic Enmore Theatre, and left punters desperate for his return. Now, the wait is over…..
Don’t miss your chance to catch the explosive return of Ice Cube.”
