As Ice Cube gears up for production and casting of the anticipated N.W.A. biopic, he’s looking to have his very own son, depict his life story.
Ice cube may have found the perfect person to play his younger, rebellious self in the upcoming biopic of the legendary, West Coast group. Cube stated that although he would like his eldest son O’Shay Jackson Jr. to “assume his role”, his 21 year old son Darrel Jackson was obsessed with his fathers music from birth:
“My son Darrel could recite Straight Outta Compton at two years old. He loved it! You can expose your kids to anything as long as you sit there and explain it to them.”
Cube also commented on the production of the N.W.A biopic:
“We’re getting the script tight and we’re starting to cast. Hopefully we’ll start shooting in April. We’ve had a few different writers; we’re still working that out. We’re going for a dramatic story that encompasses hip-hop, dope-dealing, Reaganomics, Aids, LAPD, rap feuds, FBI, PMRC, the Parental Advisory stickers on the records … all of it.”
