led to the widespread popularity of gangsta rap and his political rap solo albums - AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
(1990), Death Certificate
(1991), and The Predator
(1992), were all critically and commercially successful. His contribution to the industry was recognized when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of N.W.A in 2016.

However, after a monetary dispute over the group's management, Cube left N.W.A in 1989 and embarked on a solo rap career. Ice Cube has also had an active film career which commenced in the early 90s. He gained fame in cinema through his role as 'Doughboy' in the feature debut of John Singleton - 'Boyz n the Hood'. He also co-wrote and starred in the 1995 comedy film 'Friday', which spawned a successful franchise and reshaped his public image into a bankable movie star.
