Ice Cube Answers Why Black Women Aren’t Included In “Contract With Black America”

After taking heavy hits from the American public, Ice Cube has been on a publicity tour to clarify his involvement with the Trump administration. We’ve witnessed as the rap legend has stood accused of endorsing or partnering with Trump for Cube’s “Contract With Black America.” Despite the Republican Party openly thanking Cube for his support, the rap mogul has made it clear that he doesn’t support the 45th President of the United States. He also stated that both campaigns, Trump and Biden’s, reached out to him, but while Biden wanted to wait until after the election to discuss the “Contract With Black America,” Trump’s team wanted to connect immediately.

Ice Cube talked about his initiative with the ladies of Cocktails with Queens, including his Player’s Club friend LisaRaye McCoy. During the discussion, the women wanted to know why Cube didn’t include Black women in his “Contract With Black America.” Cube said, “You are mentioned. When you mention Black people you mentioning Black women, so don’t count yourself out.”

This caused everyone to talk over one another as some of the women disagreed while Cube stuck to his guns. He told them they could write something up if they wanted, but Claudia Jordan told him that because he took on the responsibility to write up the “CWBA,” he should amend it. “I’ll write up the Black woman’s part of the contract for you,” stated Cube.

“You guys are the experts, but here we go again. Just want to talk, nobody want to help me, but y’all the experts on Black women so why won’t y’all help me. That’s the problem.” Check out Ice Cube’s appearance below.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
