When Ice Cube released The Predator on November 17, 1992, he certainly had a lot to talk and be angry about at that moment. Death Certificate was the quintessential “angry” hip-hop album, and The Predator is bursting with resentment. Cube raps a lot about the Rodney King beating, the verdict, the riots, and the continued abuse by the police in the months that followed. Ice Cube clearly states, “I told you it would happen and you heard it, read it” on the album, about as clear of an “I told you so” as you can get. But there’s also a different sort of anger present. Throughout the album, Cube focuses much of his vitriol at people who, after the release of Death Certificate, spent more time being critical of him than listening closely to what the album had to say.

The Predator is a defining hip-hop document of the Los Angeles riots. In late April of 1992, sections of the city’s South Central neighborhood erupted in anger after a jury acquitted four police officers caught on video camera beating Rodney King. As part of hip-hop’s response to the injustice, Ice Cube sculpted his third solo album into front-line reportage. Released in November, Cube’s reactionary politics captured an incendiary historical moment. In an era before instant opinions cast out via social media apps, the album’s relative warp speed response imbued the music with a visceral power. Ice Cube's Are We There Yet? series premiered on TBS on June 2, 2010. It revolves around a family adjusting to the matriarch's new husband, played by Terry Crews. On August 16, the show was renewed for 90 more episodes, [72] amounting to six seasons. Cube also credits Tyler Perry for his entrée to TBS.

On May 11, 2010, ESPN aired Cube's directed documentary Straight Outta L.A., examining the interplay of Los Angeles sociopolitics, hip hop, and the Raiders during the 1980s into the 1990s.
