Ice Cube, who apparently studied architectural drafting before joining NWA, on the architecture of Los Angeles and the design of Charles and Ray Eames:
The New York Times has an interview with Ice Cube about the video:
I had learned about them when I was studying architectural drafting. Back then, I didn’t know I was going to make money. So being that they put together a house in two days and used discarded materials — something about their style caught on.
As I got older, I could equate it to sampling. I see that’s what we were doing, taking discarded records from the ’60s and ’70s and revamping them.
Awesome.
