Ice Cube: Corporate Raider
Mark Cooper, Q, March 1993
Yikes! Ice Cube is America's most controversial (dead heat with Ice-T) and successful rapper, recently blasting good ole Garth Brooks off the top of the US charts. And yet the husband, father, film star and one-man empire still isn't a member of Club Contente. Mark Cooper trades appalling language with the man who always means business.
