Underrated episode. Ice cube needs to tell his story more. Thanks for having him on. This is inspiring
-
"you wanna be the tree in the flood" what a powerful statement what an awesome conversation.
-
His meeting John Singleton story absolutely blows me away!
-
Wow this is so cool! Congrats on getting Ice Cube on the channel — what a win / milestone!
-
Holy Moly. This is an absolute OG. Im from Australia, I grew up on Ice Cube, Public Enemy, De La Soul, Run DMC, Ice T, Ultra Magnetic.... what a BOSS episode, it will be my Friday night podcast to watch. By the way, I've been fasting intermittently since Jan 3rd - getting my shiz in order in 2024. Bigups Lewis & Cube, today was a good day. Mark7

I can see the light in Lewis’s eyes like you can tell he listen to ice cube as a teenager and is just an awe of an idol
-
One of the best interviews I’ve seen. Ice Cube is a force. Thank you Lewis Howes 🙏🏼
-
I love Ice Cube for who he is AND for who he isn't. He's masculine, intelligent, and brave but not a pushover, silly, or a sell-out. He's among the Greatest. My ideal husband-type. Boy N The Hood is a forever classic, but my favorite movie of his is Anaconda. He's a natural comedian. The part about him meeting John Singleton (RIH) was so funny! I think that was divine intervention. A wonderful insightful interview!
-
Ice Cube is proof that hard work and following your vision pays off 🏆
-
YES! I am completely taken aback that he is on your show. Thank you for inviting him to your platform and introducing him to people who may not have had the privilege to know of him. Hip-Hop is a major part of my adolescence & my existence. Ice Cube is very inspirational in our culture for a multitude of reasons. His vibe is down to earth, chill, & resonating. I love his essence.... ❤❤
-
Ur very lucky to have gotten this man (Ice cube) on this video,.. he's so engaging with his story telling...He also has the spirit of a Chief instead of an Indian and that also captivates the viewers...
-
Two top-tier gentlemen, having an excellent conversation. 🏆
-
I love that he brought up the relationship between preparation and confidence. I figured that out in college: the more I knew about a subject (the more I studied and read), the easier it was to write a paper. I know that seems like 'duh,' but I made A's and B's in high school without really doing those things, so I thought that was the recipe for success, and then real life kicked in 😅. But now i carry that principle everywhere.
-
I have always been fond of Ice Cube's work, but after seeing this interview, I have gained so much respect for his mindset and his decision making process. Ice Cube you are truly DOPE and ONE OF A KIND!!!! #icecube @icecube 👌🏽💯❤️
-
biggest respect for ice cube, how he explained why there are junk movies.... phenomenal
-
This is the absolute best Ice Cube interview I've ever seen. Anyone that's planning to interview Ice Cube in the future needs to watch this one. Lewis knows how to ask questions that bring the best out of people. Salute Lewis! 👏👏👏
-
I will always love me some Ice Cube. He's such a man of integrity. Great interview! 🙂
