It may have taken nearly three decades, but Ice Cube has finally gotten his own episode of VH1's Behind the Music.
Cube's rise to superstardom began with the rapper, real name O'Shea Jackson, growing up on the tough streets of South Central Los Angeles where he faced gang violence and drug dealers on a daily basis. From there Jackson became Ice Cube and went onto to join N.W.A. and release the album Straight Outta Compton.
After N.W.A. was disbanded, Cube embarked on a highly successful solo career before becoming a move star, starring in such movies as Boyz N the Hood, Friday and the Barbershop series.
"You either have it or you don't and I happen to have it," Cube says during the episode.
On his Behind the Music special, Cube revisits his childhood hangouts with help from friends Snoop Dogg, John Singleton and Nia Long.
