Ice Cube Praises ‘Anaconda’ Trailer, Fields Fan Engagement From New Album

Ice Cube is all aboard the upcoming “Anaconda” film, featuring Paul Rudd and Jack Black … even if the studio forgot to pick up the phone for the original star!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the multifaceted entertainer at LAX, where he signed memorabilia. His latest album, “Man Up,” continues to resonate with long-time fans, including our ever-enthusiastic cameraman, Jake!

Cube has spent five decades pioneering Hip Hop and highlights the importance of innovators pushing forward, regardless of the industry’s shifting landscape.

Switching gears, Cube laments that the team behind the “Anaconda” franchise hasn’t bothered reaching out for their latest thrillers, despite his noteworthy past contributions.

Cube shared the screen with J Lo in the 1997 adrenaline-fueled original, but the series has since stumbled into B-movie territory. The anticipated reboot aims to reclaim its cinematic dignity.

After encountering a barrage of criticism for his “War of the Worlds” reboot, the legendary figure might be feeling a bit weary of the sequel treadmill.
