DELTRON 3030 is an amazing album and all nerds, geeks, Sci-fi freaks, tech-heads... (who are into Hip Hop) should listen to this album !!! - Scarfy, on 03/19/2008, -1/+1Del is way too bad-ass to be a nerd.

- AriaStar, on 03/19/2008, -4/+1He doesn't make the internet TV show. He just pays someone to do it and then takes credit for it, exactly how Britney Spears "wrote" a book with her mother a few years back.

- sickswaystop, on 03/19/2008, -4/+5hes probably not so much a geek, more that he just LOOOOVES his money!
- AriaStar, on 03/19/2008, -4/+60Sounds like a normal, 2008 person to me. Anything less and you may as well live in the stone age.
- Wade, on 03/19/2008, -2/+3If you don't have a sidekick, make music with Pro Tools, post a comment to every single front page Digg story and/or have an internet TV show you're living in the damn stone age.
- artofwar420, on 03/19/2008, -1/+11Yeah, the title should read "Ice Cube lives in 2008, and knows how to make money"
- inverselogic, on 03/19/2008, -1/+0Well here in 2008, its not very geeky anymore to have a nice plasma tv and awesome computer set up ;D, you are probably the social outcast if you don't have a big ass tv, computer, or cell phone.

- VladislavIII, on 03/19/2008, -14/+7Damn, I though he was a bad *****. Couldn't he get some nerdy ***** to do all this ***** at gunpoint while snorting ***** and banging big-ass bitches and not lose touch with his stereotype?
- KINGGS, on 03/19/2008, -0/+10he lost touch with that when he started doing PG movies.
- edwartica, on 03/19/2008, -1/+2The Ghost of Eazy-E is going to appear to him one day and pop a cap in his sell out ass.
- je12u, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Nah, you NEVER lose touch w/ that side. You just get worn down and whittled away by family, kids, and responsibilities....but it's still in ya.
- absurdist, on 03/19/2008, -0/+19Uhm, I think you meant snorting coke...
Although snorting ***** would definitely add another facet to his persona.- VladislavIII, on 03/19/2008, -2/+3I don't want to be too self-congratulatory, but I think that may be my best typo yet.
- edwartica, on 03/19/2008, -1/+3I laughed. But I laughed at you, not with you. :P

- bingobongony, on 03/19/2008, -1/+5since when is being a multi-tasking entertainer a "geek" thing?
- Billions, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1I think the 'geek' moniker is coming from his obvious life-long excitement and giddiness for technology evolving around him. "Using a computer" is different from "being stoked to mention that you used to write rhymes on a laptop." I'll let the term 'geek' stick in this case.

- ChimpFlix, on 03/19/2008, -17/+2Ice Cube is an out of shape "gangsta" wannabe. I knew a guy who used to have Ice-T (yeah, I know they're different people) come to parties and he would be begging for hamburger money. These rappers are just a bunch of phonies that the kids from Middle America fell for. Fake shmucks.

- NightVortez, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2Yeah that was Ice T, all the "gangsters" that are interviewed on Late Nite seem nerdy for some reason, even Snoop Dogg, I guess it's understandable though, I mean, money.

- daza, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1This man likes his money. I read in an interview he only got paid $32,000 for doing Straight Outta Compton, no wonder the group split up.
- Billions, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3Rap (and the long-lost subgenre 'gangsta rap') is a young man's game, don't be a fool. People have to work and eat, few would turn down the chance to do it by making movies; despite the contradiction you and many others see at a surface level, it would be far more embarrassing to have him continue trying to be the teen he was, two decades later. Ask yourself if you're doing the same thing you were doing at 16. Or talking the same.

- sgxyay, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Double-negative much? But I think I got your meaning. Pro Tools isn't as standard as it used to be. SONAR, Logic, and other DAWs are moving in on Pro Tools' market a lot. Especially in smaller studios or semi-pro hobbiests such as myself who don't need the integrated hardware part of the deal.

I am suprised this made it to digg.- sevenalive, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1not sure if you are calling flash garbage or silverlight. Microsoft should focus on the OS. How many more plugins do we need. Developers are going to use flash, its mature, its known and it has a wide audience. Unless silverlight can use C# how Flash uses Actionscript, they might have something. They need a Dev Environment that is better than Flash CS3 too.
- cojerk, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1I'm pretty sure Lance was calling Flash garbage, and he would be right. I block all Flash by default. Thank you FlashBlock!
