Ice Cube staged a packed exclusive listening event on behalf of his single release, “It’s My Ego,” on Thursday, October 17 at the Landmark Theatres Sunset.
The listening event was followed by a Q&A discussion with radio host Big Boy. The song is from Cube’s 17-track new album, Man Down, which finds him in classic form, challenging the world to disrespect him at their peril.
The album is out in November.
“It’s My Ego” has many topical references, including bites on Kendrick Lamar, Al Green, Jimi Hendrix, and the Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscars slap.
The chorus says it all:
They know
It’s my ego
All you hoes (All you hoes)
You know (You know how it go)
It’s my ego (Yeah, huh)
