Mark Wahlberg vs Ice Cube


Wahlberg was definately more badass then cube growing up. Cube had 2 great parents that drove him to a nice school everyday. He did live in south central so ill give him that. Wahlberg was arrested about 20 times in his teens. Left a man blind in one eye and riffed cocain as early as 13. Cube is a choir boy compared to Wahlberg. Sorry I just always looked at cube as a poser.

If arrest count and # of serious injuries inflicted are criteria by which you select your heroes, you should really rethink you entire life; from scratch.

HUH??? What about what I said would make you think he's my heroe. I just love how cube tries to play the hardass gimmick when he really had a nice life and good parents. In all honesty he is Papa Doc from 8 Mile. This guys a gangsta his real names O'Shea.

But not once did I call Mary Mark my heroe. Maybe you should rethink your understanding of the english language.

I have to say one thing about that. His real name is NOT O'Shea. I'm not sure when this happened, but he's legally changed his name to Ice Cube.

Ice Cube was great in this film, join the club.

alot of people were more badass than ice cube growing up. doesnt prove anything. ice cube is extremely talented and did something with his talent, as well as mark wahlberg did. thats what counts!

2 parents too drive him to school? He is from Inglewood is right near Compton and Watts. I really don't think his parents even had a car, much less drove him too school everyday. He is a founding member of NWA, no matter what he is now, in 1988, he was part of a group that started a wave of greatness in music that we are lucky is still around today. I didn't have parents that drove me to school everyday. Who are you Greg Brady? Do you still believe in Santa? Easy-E started Ruthless Records with $25,000 that he made from crack sales, you think Easy would hang out with someone who is a punk? Show some respect you little bitch.

He did live a bad neighborhood. I'll give him that, But his parents drove to a school far away from the neighborhood.

I really don't think my comments require clarification, but if I must.

HUH??? What about what I said would make you think he's my heroe.

I was using the term "hero(e)" as hyperbole. A "VS" thread has implicit within it a victor, a winner, ie something/someone to be admired/lauded. The fact you made a VS thread where the criteria for victory is criminal behaviour just displays that you're either:

1. Extremely immature/young.
2. A sociopath.
and/or
3. Completely missed the entire point of the movie.

All I'm sayin'. When you make comments that imply inflicting serious injury upon someone (leaving them blind) is something to be commended; expect to be considered a fool by the majority.


No offence though. Increase The Peace.

What was wrong with him being driven to school if it was far out of the neighborhood? I know that public transportation has always been bad in LA, so maybe that had something to do with it.

You could say the same about 2Pac - he went to a predominantly white performing arts school, and never really got in any trouble as a kid.

Speaking of Cube's childhood, have you seen his high school senior pic on his Wiki page? Pink and white stripe shirt, pop collar, and bro-fro mullet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ice_Cube_HS_Yearbook.jpeg

Doing drugs and getting into trouble with the law does not make one a badass, just as growing up in a normal household with a set of loving parents doesn't make one soft. I bet Ice Cube would mop the floor with Mark Wahlberg's @$$ if they were to get into a fight.


I'd like to send 'em all back to hell where they belong.

reply

True I think IC is physically stronger than Mark and would take him down anytime. Marky Mark may look tough and intimidating but he's mostly all mouth and no action. I mean just watch his characters in his own movies and you'll see how many times he's gotten his butt whooped; Hell even Leo DiCaprio managed to put his ass to the ground in The Departed! LOL😁

However in terms of acting ability, Mark is miles better than Ice Cube...

And I don't know why I decided to post in this silly thread.


I don't want to be a product of my environment; I want my environment to be a product of me.

Lots of people grew up in a rough situation and did not become the punk bullies that little Marky did.

And it's not potatoe or heroe. and that spelling in a paragraph where you suggest a mastery of English is embarrassing.
