Ice Cube was the guest on a recent episode of the On The Guest List Podcast where he discussed his BIG3 basketball league, his music career and his career as an actor. When asked was there ever a role or script that he regretted turning down, the Mount Westmore rapper shared that he had an opportunity to be in a classic.
"I would say Menace II Society," he explained. "I had a shot to do O-Dog. Even though I thought Larenz Tate killed it, I just didn't wanna be typecast." Cube then explained that he had just come off of the success of Boyz N The Hood and didn't want to portray a L.A. gangbanger in every movie.
"That [Menace...] was like the second movie I got offered, then I did Trespass with Ice-T," he says, before noting, "And played a crazy-ass St. Louis gangbanger."
