Speaker A

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 A

So with that being said, one of my next favorite rappers is Ice Cube.

Speaker A

I found a time chart on him.

Speaker A

Ice Cube is a Gemini with a cancer moon.

Speaker A

He is also a Libra Rising.

Speaker A

What's interesting to me about A Libra Rising is Libra is the scales of balance.

Speaker A

One 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 A

Another thing about Ice Cube is his son and Mercury and being in Gemini or in the ninth house.

Speaker A

The ninth house is associated with the sun, Sagittarius, which could be broadcasting and storytelling.

Speaker A

Ice Cube is one of the best storytellers that has ever touched the microphone.

Speaker A

He gets help from the moon and the sign that it rules.

Speaker A

It helps him set and feel and set the right mood for the song.

Speaker A

Two more things about him.

Speaker A

First, his north node.

Speaker A

What his soul really wants to do in this lifetime is in Pisces, which can be film and photography.

Speaker A

Even though he started from rap, his soul always wanted to tell stories on the big screen.

Speaker A

The only thing is that his Sagittarius energy likes to laugh.

Speaker A

It's really interesting to me that if you're listening to Ice Cube's music, it's really on a serious tip.

Speaker A

He's telling messages, you know, a vibe, kind of like he's preaching.

Speaker A

But when you watch his movies, he tries to make you laugh.

Speaker A

Friday Barbershop.

Speaker A

Are we there yet?

Speaker A

I. I think all of his movies are some kind of comedy.

Speaker A

Deuce, got any thoughts on Ice Cube?

Speaker B

You know, he's a lot like Pac in certain ways.

Speaker B

You know, he was very confrontational.

Speaker B

He didn't bite his tongue.

Speaker B

You know, whatever he was thinking or feeling, that's what you was gonna get.

Speaker B

You know what I mean?

Speaker B

That's where you get fucked the Police and Bitch Is a Bitch and, you know, Gangsta.

Speaker B

Gangsta.

Speaker B

I mean, he just had a way.

Speaker A

Of.

Speaker B

Kind of giving us what was going on, what we all were experiencing, but put it in a dramatic way.

Speaker B

And he was.

Speaker B

I 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 B

I mean, Cube smile.

Speaker B

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker B

He was, like, perpetually angry, you know what I mean?

Speaker B

And 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 B

You know, you look back on it now and you like, damn.

Speaker B

You know, that was.

Speaker B

It'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 A

What do you think about his storytelling?

Speaker B

He 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 A

Day was a good day.

Speaker B

Yeah, yeah, today was a good day.

Speaker B

On every CD he had a song or at least two or three songs really, where he told little ghetto boy a story.

Speaker B

Yeah, who?

Speaker A

Little ghetto boy.

Speaker B

That was Snoop, was it?

Speaker A

What?

Speaker A

Oh, oh, you said what's upon the Time?

Speaker A

And I think that's the one.

Speaker B

Once upon a time in the projects.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

And then, you know, he was one of the coldest storytellers to ever do it.

Speaker B

Does that have something to do with his, with his astrology?

Speaker A

Yeah, that's why I was saying his.

Speaker A

Even though he's a Gemini, his Gemini is A lot of his Gemini planets are sitting in a storytelling house.

Speaker A

And so that's why if you, you know, a lot of his songs are the ones that he solo.

Speaker A

He's telling stories and it has themes.

Speaker B

And sits in a house.

Speaker B

What, what is, what is a house?

Speaker A

Imagine, imagine a, a pizza cut in 12 slices and each slice would be a house.

Speaker A

Okay, so, so, so.

Speaker A

And one of those.

Speaker A

Each slice of that pizza is a area.

Speaker A

It, it focuses on a topic, exudes a certain type of energy.

Speaker A

So like the third house, the third slice of pizza would be the communication slice of pizza.

Speaker A

And 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 B

Communication.

Speaker A

Communication.

Speaker A

But if you're, if you got like, say your sun sign is in the seventh house.

Speaker A

The seventh house.

Speaker A

The seventh house is.

Speaker A

The seventh slice of pizza would represent relationships.

Speaker A

And so that person would be focused on relationships and stuff like that 9th house, higher learning Beliefs, School Philosophy.

Speaker A

What was one of his movies he starred in?

Speaker B

I Learned it.

Speaker B

I was just about to say that.

Speaker B

There you go, there you go.

Speaker B

Let me see your idea.

Speaker A

There you go, There you go.

Speaker A

It's all.

Speaker A

So it's.

Speaker A

This is energy.

Speaker A

It's energy, man.

Speaker A

And, and we.

Speaker A

It's rep. We represent energy.

Speaker A

And people don't realize that you naturally do stuff that your energy says in your chart, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

So I.

Speaker A

Everybody, by the way, Deuce knows nothing about astrology.

Speaker A

All he knows is sun sign.

Speaker A

So actually a little bit.

Speaker A

But, but, but, but you don't know anything about moon signs and Mercury and all that stuff, so bear with me.

Speaker A

That's why he's asking me these questions.

Speaker A

I have him on the show for his hip hop knowledge, not his astrology knowledge.

Speaker A

Any albums you like from Ice Cube?

Speaker B

Of course, the first NWA album was damn near all Ice Cube, you know, and ran basically, you know.

Speaker B

But I like.

Speaker A

I mean, first solo album.

Speaker B

Let me see.

Speaker B

Of course, his first solo album, America's Most Wanted, Lethal Injection.

Speaker B

And Uncle Sam.

Speaker B

What was that?

Speaker B

Was it.

Speaker B

It wasn't Uncle Sam's Curse.

Speaker B

It was the one where he had the Uncle Sam on there with the, with the, with the toe tag on.

Speaker A

Oh, Kill At Will.

Speaker A

Was that Kill At Will?

Speaker B

Nah, Kill At Will was the ep.

Speaker B

But that was, you know, I mean,.

Speaker A

Anything.

Speaker B

Anything Cube did, I was down with it, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker B

Until kind of like toward the end of his career, he kind of came with phony ass shits, but, you know, pretty much anything.

Speaker A

Oh,.

Speaker B

I was a fan.

Speaker A

One last question on Q before we move on.

Speaker A

Where do you put him on your.

Speaker A

Where is he on your list?

Speaker B

He's in my top 10.

Speaker B

I don't have him in my.

Speaker B

And I feel kind of guilty about that, you know what I mean?

Speaker B

Because he's one of the coldest to ever do it.

Speaker B

And he.

Speaker B

He was a groundbreaking mc, you know what I mean?

Speaker B

He 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 B

But 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 B

And then, you know, if you.

Speaker B

There'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 B

The Police was groundbreaking, you know what I mean?

Speaker B

And the movies that he made and starred in were definitely influences on the culture economically and, you know, in film.

Speaker A

My last little bit about Ice Cube is I said he's a Libra.

Speaker A

Rising Libras like relationships, right?

Speaker A

And Ice Cube is one of the best MCs to be in two super groups, West Side Connection and NWA.

Speaker A

So let's move on to my next rapper.
