ice cube: “what i love about the eames is…”
by davidconnell on 22/01/2012“… how resourceful they are.”
You really haven’t heard about mid-century modern icons Charles and Raye Eames until you’ve heard about them from Ice Cube. I have to say, Cube knows his stuff and uses the Eames in this two minute video to shed some light on their philosophy as well as the overall virtues of Los Angeles architecture.
Plus, you get the opportunity to hear him say things you never, ever thought you’d hear Ice Cube say. Such as:
“Before I did rap music, I studied architectural drafting.”
“They was doin’ mashups before mashups even existed.”
“The Eames made structure and nature one. This is goin’ green 1949 style, bitch. Believe dat!”
