Ice Cube; Once Gangsta, Now Otaku?
Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 4:10PM 
History lesson time! You may remember Ice Cube from such smash hits as Are We There Yet, and Barbershop 2: Back in Business. What you may not know is that Mr. Cube was a well respected (or feared) gangsta rapper in his heyday, as an integral part of groundbreaking crew N.W.A.
According to Ice Cube's Twitter, he managed to snag a voice part in Activision's upcoming title, Call of Duty: Black Ops. Playing the part of Corporal Bowman, Ice will bring his unique style to the realm of video games for the first time.
Along with honorary Otaku But Gangsta Ice-T's appearance in Gears of War 3, once gangsta rappers appear to be expanding from traditional acting to include voice acting in their resumes. Rumor has it Tupac Shakur will play a major part in the soon to be revealed Uncharted 3: 2Pac's Treasure.

Ugh. Why Ice Cube? I hate his voice and it has no range. He always sounds like a hoodrat thug. They could have chosen a million different people but obviously went with stunt casting; "look at us, we have Ice Cube in our game." The same goes for Ice T by the way.
