You're right. I just think Ice Cube deserves more credit as a separate act. It seems like Dr. Dre for instance gets more acknowledgement in general than Ice Cube as separate acts. I think he can get more acknowledgement as a songwriter outside of NWA. He has written for other rappers outside of NWA as a group as well as himself. I think he is a great writer. I guess you are right about Gangstarr. I actually have heard rappers cite his importance to hip hop but the industry itself doesn't as much |

Like I said awards are not the ONLY determining factor of this. Just like the number of Grammy's does not reflect whether or not an artist is good or bad. |

I have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to Ice Cube. He is easily one of the most recognized pioneers of gangsta rap ASIDE from NWA. |

I'm beginning to wonder if you know the difference. Obviously Dr. Dre & Snoop Dog have a higher profile than Ice Cube in 2014. Dr. Dre has a hugely successful brand and has produced loads of big selling artists in the past decade. He's not still getting attention now just because he used to be in NWA. Snoop Dog has become a personality rather than an artist. He's become of the most recognisable people in the genre, even my mum who's in her 60s and has no interest in hip hop at all knows who Snoop Dogg is, but you try finding me someone who's bought any of the records he's released since the mid 90s. As for Ice Cube he hasn't really done anything to appeal to anyone outside of the fan base he already has since the early 90s and has had a few minor movie roles, so obviously the others get more attention now. Tons of people have pointed out to you where Ice Cube gets the credit he's due but for some reason you seem think that people who had their best days over 20 years ago should be in the public eye today. It doesn't work like that.

Dre invested his money well. He became a big-time producer, he has his own line of headphones.. What would you expect? Everyone who knows NWA, knows that Ice Cube was the brains behind it, and his solo work is generally considered to be the best of any member of NWA.

Cube is working on a new album and just was in a movie that raked up at the box office. He is in the public eye more nowadays.
