All I said was that Ice Cube was and continues to be culturally significant, as evidenced by social media, and I used social media stats to support this. I questioned whether Dizzee is actually a celebrity, and the only thing you can take from it is that I "don't think he's a household name cos he's not on American telly". Well, no, he doesn't have the social media statistics of the guy who you're saying isn't a household name. By your own logic, he isn't a household name. By my logic, it's questionable whether he is or isn't, as is the case with Ice Cube. Comprende amigo, or does it need further explanation? I don't think I could break this down any more simply than I already have to be honest. |

Okay I take some of this back, it is possible he may be known internationally but in some countries and I would not say he is a BIG international star like a rapper like Jay Z who is a household name. Ice Cube is not a brand. He does some movies here and there and was popular during the late 80's/early 90's but he never really did a major cross over album or venture outside of NWA. He does not really market or sell anything outside of his music either. For a genre that is predominately geared toward a certain demographic that is essential. Most of the rappers that are household names are brands and have done other ventures outside of their rap music. I do not think it is necessary to be honest but it gives more opportunities to appeal to other people and interests. |

The only thing he isn't doing that most other rappers do is that he hasn't put out his own brand of liquor or opened up a club.

That is true but none of his ventures has had a massive cross over success. |

We are talking about music but you are claiming he is this big mega international star and that is simply not true. He needs to have had a major cross over venture whether it be music or other ventures outside of that in order to be a big international star like you were implying. |
