Okay, Because Tupac had an Aries moon, and the opposite of Aries is Libra, and Libra is the scales, and it's the balance, and it rules relationships, right?
Speaker ASo with that being said, one of my next favorite rappers is Ice Cube.
Speaker AI found a time chart on him.
Speaker AIce Cube is a Gemini with a cancer moon.
Speaker AHe is also a Libra Rising.
Speaker AWhat's interesting to me about A Libra Rising is Libra is the scales of balance.
Speaker AOne of the reasons he left the group NWA at the height of the popularity is because the money in the group was unfair and unequal.
Speaker AAnother thing about Ice Cube is his son and Mercury and being in Gemini or in the ninth house.
Speaker AThe ninth house is associated with the sun, Sagittarius, which could be broadcasting and storytelling.
Speaker AIce Cube is one of the best storytellers that has ever touched the microphone.
Speaker AHe gets help from the moon and the sign that it rules.
Speaker AIt helps him set and feel and set the right mood for the song.
Speaker ATwo more things about him.
Speaker AFirst, his north node.
Speaker AWhat his soul really wants to do in this lifetime is in Pisces, which can be film and photography.
Speaker AEven though he started from rap, his soul always wanted to tell stories on the big screen.
Speaker AThe only thing is that his Sagittarius energy likes to laugh.
Speaker AIt's really interesting to me that if you're listening to Ice Cube's music, it's really on a serious tip.
Speaker AHe's telling messages, you know, a vibe, kind of like he's preaching.
Speaker ABut when you watch his movies, he tries to make you laugh.
Speaker AFriday Barbershop.
Speaker AAre we there yet?
Speaker AI. I think all of his movies are some kind of comedy.
Speaker ADeuce, got any thoughts on Ice Cube?
Speaker BYou know, he's a lot like Pac in certain ways.
Speaker BYou know, he was very confrontational.
Speaker BHe didn't bite his tongue.
Speaker BYou know, whatever he was thinking or feeling, that's what you was gonna get.
Speaker BYou know what I mean?
Speaker BThat's where you get fucked the Police and Bitch Is a Bitch and, you know, Gangsta.
Speaker BGangsta.
Speaker BI mean, he just had a way.
Speaker AOf.
Speaker BKind of giving us what was going on, what we all were experiencing, but put it in a dramatic way.
Speaker BAnd he was.
Speaker BI mean, a lot of people see Pac the Pac now, you know, and they think comedies and laughing and, you know, you see him smile now, but back in the day, you never saw pa's pop.
Speaker BI mean, Cube smile.
Speaker BYou know what I'm saying?
Speaker BHe was, like, perpetually angry, you know what I mean?
Speaker BAnd that's one of the things about Cube that was so captivating was the fact that as a young black man in America, you know, from South Central la, he was just so bold with some of the stuff that he was saying and some of the stuff that he was doing.
Speaker BYou know, you look back on it now and you like, damn.
Speaker BYou know, that was.
Speaker BIt's amazing that a young 18, 19 year old had this type of perspective, you know, and he was able to put it into words to where not only we could feel it, but people who didn't live in our areas could feel it as well, you know.
Speaker AWhat do you think about his storytelling?
Speaker BHe was, you know, one of the best to do it, you know, from his song about don't fuck with a bitch in the projects to, you know, and that was like one of his first rhymes, you know, or one of his first CDs, you know, and on and on and on.
Speaker ADay was a good day.
Speaker BYeah, yeah, today was a good day.
Speaker BOn every CD he had a song or at least two or three songs really, where he told little ghetto boy a story.
Speaker BYeah, who?
Speaker ALittle ghetto boy.
Speaker BThat was Snoop, was it?
Speaker AWhat?
Speaker AOh, oh, you said what's upon the Time?
Speaker AAnd I think that's the one.
Speaker BOnce upon a time in the projects.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BAnd then, you know, he was one of the coldest storytellers to ever do it.
Speaker BDoes that have something to do with his, with his astrology?
Speaker AYeah, that's why I was saying his.
Speaker AEven though he's a Gemini, his Gemini is A lot of his Gemini planets are sitting in a storytelling house.
Speaker AAnd so that's why if you, you know, a lot of his songs are the ones that he solo.
Speaker AHe's telling stories and it has themes.
Speaker BAnd sits in a house.
Speaker BWhat, what is, what is a house?
Speaker AImagine, imagine a, a pizza cut in 12 slices and each slice would be a house.
Speaker AOkay, so, so, so.
Speaker AAnd one of those.
Speaker AEach slice of that pizza is a area.
Speaker AIt, it focuses on a topic, exudes a certain type of energy.
Speaker ASo like the third house, the third slice of pizza would be the communication slice of pizza.
Speaker AAnd so, so if your sun sign, if you got a whole bunch of planets sitting on the, this, the third slice of pizza, that means you eat a lot of, you know, your energy is focused on that third slice of pizza.
Speaker BCommunication.
Speaker ACommunication.
Speaker ABut if you're, if you got like, say your sun sign is in the seventh house.
Speaker AThe seventh house.
Speaker AThe seventh house is.
Speaker AThe seventh slice of pizza would represent relationships.
Speaker AAnd so that person would be focused on relationships and stuff like that 9th house, higher learning Beliefs, School Philosophy.
Speaker AWhat was one of his movies he starred in?
Speaker BI Learned it.
Speaker BI was just about to say that.
Speaker BThere you go, there you go.
Speaker BLet me see your idea.
Speaker AThere you go, There you go.
Speaker AIt's all.
Speaker ASo it's.
Speaker AThis is energy.
Speaker AIt's energy, man.
Speaker AAnd, and we.
Speaker AIt's rep. We represent energy.
Speaker AAnd people don't realize that you naturally do stuff that your energy says in your chart, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker ASo I.
Speaker AEverybody, by the way, Deuce knows nothing about astrology.
Speaker AAll he knows is sun sign.
Speaker ASo actually a little bit.
Speaker ABut, but, but, but you don't know anything about moon signs and Mercury and all that stuff, so bear with me.
Speaker AThat's why he's asking me these questions.
Speaker AI have him on the show for his hip hop knowledge, not his astrology knowledge.
Speaker AAny albums you like from Ice Cube?
Speaker BOf course, the first NWA album was damn near all Ice Cube, you know, and ran basically, you know.
Speaker BBut I like.
Speaker AI mean, first solo album.
Speaker BLet me see.
Speaker BOf course, his first solo album, America's Most Wanted, Lethal Injection.
Speaker BAnd Uncle Sam.
Speaker BWhat was that?
Speaker BWas it.
Speaker BIt wasn't Uncle Sam's Curse.
Speaker BIt was the one where he had the Uncle Sam on there with the, with the, with the toe tag on.
Speaker AOh, Kill At Will.
Speaker AWas that Kill At Will?
Speaker BNah, Kill At Will was the ep.
Speaker BBut that was, you know, I mean,.
Speaker AAnything.
Speaker BAnything Cube did, I was down with it, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker BUntil kind of like toward the end of his career, he kind of came with phony ass shits, but, you know, pretty much anything.
Speaker AOh,.
Speaker BI was a fan.
Speaker AOne last question on Q before we move on.
Speaker AWhere do you put him on your.
Speaker AWhere is he on your list?
Speaker BHe's in my top 10.
Speaker BI don't have him in my.
Speaker BAnd I feel kind of guilty about that, you know what I mean?
Speaker BBecause he's one of the coldest to ever do it.
Speaker BAnd he.
Speaker BHe was a groundbreaking mc, you know what I mean?
Speaker BHe did a lot of things that a lot of people were scared to do and didn't care about the consequences, you know what I mean?
Speaker BBut just as far as an MC, like, I don't have him in my top five, but he's definitely one of my top 10.
Speaker BAnd then, you know, if you.
Speaker BThere's a separate list that might be, like, influence on the culture, and he would have to be in my top five just because of, you know, fuck.
Speaker BThe Police was groundbreaking, you know what I mean?
Speaker BAnd the movies that he made and starred in were definitely influences on the culture economically and, you know, in film.
Speaker AMy last little bit about Ice Cube is I said he's a Libra.
Speaker ARising Libras like relationships, right?
Speaker AAnd Ice Cube is one of the best MCs to be in two super groups, West Side Connection and NWA.
Speaker ASo let's move on to my next rapper.
