When you make people laugh, they can\u2019t hate on you. They got a special part in their heart for you \u2019cause you just made them laugh. Or they enjoyed something you did, or they enjoyed over and over and over again. What\u2019s good about my movies, you can watch them over and over and over again\u2026 they kinda never really get old. So that\u2019s really where it started.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"innerAdHatch\" inserted=\"shortcode\" style=\"margin: 10px 0 11px -10px\">\n<div id=\"contentUnit\u201c300\u201d\" class=\"adUnits\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n                        if(isMobile){\n                            CMNUNT.load(\"content-b\", { \n                                containerid: \"contentUnit\u201c300\u201d\",\n                                keywords: \"section_post_inarticle\",\n                                lazyLoad: true\n                            });\n                        }\n                    <\/script>In particular, Ice Cube brought up 2005\u2019s <em>Are We There Yet?,<\/em> which he produced and starred in alongside Nia Long, as a turning point in his public perception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen doing a movie for my fans, doing a movie for their kids,\u201d he said. \u201cA movie like <em>Are We There Yet?<\/em> People were like, \u2018What kind of movie is that for Cube?\u2019 But at the end of the day, my fans got little kids that watch that movie over and over again. And now they know who Ice Cube is. It\u2019s not like their parents gotta go, \u2018You know who that is?\u2019 And all that kinda stupid stuff. It\u2019s like, they already know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cSo it\u2019s good to be able to grab more generations every time. Because the movie might get old, but the kids are always kids and they always wanna see a good movie. So to me, that\u2019s when it started to turn around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I0lZ96AyF2M\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I0lZ96AyF2M<\/a><\/p>\n<p>During a 2005 interview with <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/movieweb.com\/ice-cube-talks-are-we-there-yet-xxx-2-life-in-the-hood-and-more\/\">Movieweb,<\/a><\/em> Ice Cube talked about the seriousness to his comedy and type of characters he plays.<\/p>\n<div class=\"innerAdHatch\" inserted=\"shortcode\" style=\"margin: 10px 0 11px -10px\">\n<div id=\"contentUnit\u201c400\u201d\" class=\"adUnits\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n                        if(isMobile){\n                            CMNUNT.load(\"content-b\", { \n                                containerid: \"contentUnit\u201c400\u201d\",\n                                keywords: \"section_post_inarticle\",\n                                lazyLoad: true\n                            });\n                        }\n                    <\/script>\u201cI just think that\u2019s the best way for me to pull it off,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cI\u2019m not a co<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>n, so there are things that I wouldn\u2019t even try. But when I can make the situation right, and make things funny\u2014organically in a way\u2014then it just comes off better. For some reason, that\u2019s usually the ton of the guys that I\u2019m playing. I\u2019m usually playing the guy that\u2019s going through all this stuff. All these crazy people are interacting with a guy who, hopefully, the audience sees as sane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cI\u2019ve never really taken myself too serious. That\u2019s everybody else, listening to the music or whatever. I\u2019ve always said what I\u2019ve felt, said what I thought was right, but I\u2019ve always had a comedic bone. Take <em>Friday.<\/em> If you remember, all this bad shit is happening on this neighborhood. You\u2019re dealing with dope-smoking, drug dealers, drive-by shooters and neighborhood crackheads.
