ICE CUBE: MUSIC INDUSTRY FEEDS PRISONS

In this clip from the Club Random Podcast, TV host Bill Maher sits down for a discussion with West Coast rapper Ice Cube.

@icecube explained how the same people who own US private prisons own the labels and how they directly or indirectly make sure that the music feeds the US prison system.

In the US, Black people are five times more likely to be incarcerated than white people.

In Ice Cube’s words, this is a process of social engineering that musicians unwittingly take part in, contributing to the cycle of imprisonment affecting young Black men.
