Ice Cube; Once Gangsta, Now Otaku?

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.

Otaku Get Gangsta

In Kaneohe Hawaii, a few teenagers were at gaming lounge/internet cafe PC Gamerz, minding their own business, being geeks. Three masked men busted into the establishment and began threatening the only employee on duty, who refused to cooperate with the criminals and was swiftly Falcon Punched. 

The patrons quietly handed their valuables to the robbers, but one dude wasn't having it. Asked to surrender his Nintendo DS, Dylan Hayes declined politely by throwing a flurry of jabs. You're gonna have to take that portable gaming system from his cold dead hands! Dylan's stand inspired sole employee Devin Wolery to fight back as well, getting as far as pinning one of the assailants onto the ground. Gaming lounge brawl! 

Shocked, surprised, and probably ashamed that they just got their asses kicked by a bunch of geeks, the thieves fled the scene only to be apprehended by police a block away. Robbery fail. The geeks of PC Gamerz, WIN! Congratulations gentlemen, for defending your turf, your belongings, and your pride all while being geeks of the highest degree. You have captured the true essence of Otaku But Gangsta, and we salute you for your actions.
