Whether he got inspiration from there or not, I don't care, but the screenplay is his. He had done that type of film before, with independent man John Singleton, among others in that film I regret not seeing yet, 'Boyz N' the Hood'. He wouldn't do the stupid gangster films the other rappers do because he takes the job seriously so seriously he wrote his own neighborhood and people story, which is unexpectedly touching in its most impressive moments. In 1998, he got his chance to direct his movie his first and only up to date. With the production company he has, he could have the highest ego, but he continues on doing his job.

Plus, he is a very good actor who does what he pleases and likes to and never disappoints.

He is a rapper, a musician who writes songs for films, and is good at it, besides being a low profile artist. Not that Ice Cube is the biggest celebrity of the planet, but he is an actor I appreciate too much. 'An Ice Cube film'�Wow, that's already big enough.
