O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Ice Cube’s Son) Really Wants To Work In Video Games

I respect that hustle.
"I'm trying to get famous to write video game stories" is a dream I can support.

Hahaha, some truth to this.
The industry is always short of good writers who are actually invested in the product they're writing for.
Unfortunately, most writing jobs are contract-sized, so it's pretty hard to get a stable job unless you're a creative bigwig or you've magically landed on a writing-heavy project.
Probably easier to get your experience outside the industry, unfortunately.
good for him, we need more representation in gaming (especially west siiiiide)
oh cool, didn't know what else he'd done besides straight outta compton, gotta check this out

dude looks exactly like his father. handsome guy.. i have to say though after reading that article how video game company employees are treated im kinda glad i never followed that dream
He's also in Den of Thieves in theaters now alngside Gerard Butler and 50 cent. I also believe he was cast in Godzilla sequel.
Yep, really liked him in that (He was definitely the most sympathetic character in that movie). Thought he was of course great in Straight Outta Compton too. He's honestly the only reason I'm interested in Den of Thieves.
I would love to see him get to write for video games. That's a hilarious and fantastic quote. I hope he can make it happen.
Well,good luck to him I guess..any 'celeb' (personally never heard of him before) who likes video games and want to push the medium forward in general recognition is welcome in my book.
Oh shit that was really good. He did well in there. Had no idea he was Cube's son
Yeah I lost my shit when I saw him in Straight Outta Compton. He's looked so much like his dad.
Someone should hire him to write a game. I'm sure it would be entertaining, he certainly has a passion for games based on this interview.
In an industry that stills has sub par writing as the norm, nobody would should be rejecting him. Hope he achieves his dream.
This. If he's for real playing, he knows where improvements are needed. Have dad pull those strings if needed...but he's been doing great on his own two. Good luck to the brother. Hope to see his name in the credits one day.
Nintendo is killing it with the Switch sales wise, has two GotY worthy titles and a surprisingly diverse lineup in its first year and that's the best this guy can come up with? He sounds like every fanboy who was expecting them to go third party post Wii U.
