A few years ago, Ice Cube released a catchy, upbeat rap about how he has no haters--or at least doesn't acknowledge them, because his life is great, and he knows the haters hate because their lives aren't and they're jealous. He also further delivers the message, along with co-rapper Too Short, that he simply doesn't have time for haters, because he is too busy being successful.
Well, Ice Cube is, sadly, about to discover the loud and hysterical voices of the Covid Culists since he has recently walked away from a $9 million salary and a co-starring role in the comedy "Oh, HELL No" over the producers' desire to force him to become vaccinated against Covid-19.
We at Shades of Gray salute Ice Cube for standing up for his right to decide what medications and vaccinations he does and doesn't put in his body. He has more courage of his convictions than anyone around here. We just hope he doesn't buckle under the cancel-happy mobs of Wokies, close allies of the Covid Cultists, when they come for him. (Although... as much as we salute Ice Cube and wish him the best, we will be watching with glee if the Wokies go on the warpath against him, because it will clearly show them to be the thought-policing, would-be totalitarian hypocrites that they have always been.)
Meanwhile, here's Ice Cube & Too Short performing "Ain't Got No Haters".
