For both Cube & Hart: Did Conan approach you guys for that skit about riding through Hollywood, or did you guys approach him? I thought it was great .. I LOL'd when Conan ordered Wendy's

For Kevin Hart: You find a lot of comedy in male insecurities, including a famous bit where you express fear that your son will be gay. You praised Frank Ocean at the MTV VMAs in 2012 for having the courage to come out, and recently said in an interview that you don't do jokes any more about gays. What changed your mind on this subject of humor?
Iamkevinhart1970 karma
It's just a sensitive topic and I respect people of all orientations. So, it's just best left alone.

Cube and Kevin: What are the dumbest rumors you've heard about yourselves?
Thanks for doing this AMA!
_IceCube2405 karma
For my fans' kids. I didn't like little kids only having Friday to laugh to.
Littleredash02862 karma
For both of you guys!
When was the first time you realized that you were actually a celebrity and how did it feel?
Also thanks for doing this AMA.
PS. I'm still bumping to it was a good day!
_IceCube2089 karma
When my mom asked for an autograph for her friends, I knew I was famous. Still feels good.
_IceCube2832 karma
No. Just thought about how much money he was going to ask to do the sequel. Stayed pissed off.

Ice cube: Do you think your acting career has helped or hindered your reputation as a rapper?
_IceCube2839 karma
Only an insecure person would worry about their reputation as a rapper. I do what I feel when I feel it. My rep is cemented.
Apologician749 karma
How far away are we from the next Friday movie? Also will Smokey be making a return? When are y'all going on First Take again?
_IceCube1394 karma
The next Friday movie is caught up in development hell at New Line Cinema. Pray that we get it outta there.

For kevin hart: Would this movie w/ Ice cube be a memorable time for you?
mcraft07652 karma
I saw your promo you guys did with Conan O'brien awhile back. How fun is it working with Conan? Is he the whitest man in america?
_IceCube1645 karma
It's always fun working with Conan. He is definitley not the whitest man in America. We plan on starting a rap group together.
Iamkevinhart835 karma
He's definitely the whitest guy in America but we had a ball filming that sketch.

Cube: How did John Singleton convince you to do a screen test for Boyz N the Hood? It's to my understanding you were hesitant.
Kevin: Of the many movies you have lined up to come out (after Ride Along), which one are you most excited about?
_IceCube913 karma
He pursued me for two years. I was hesitant because I didn't think I was qualified. He showed me I was.

Hi guys! What could you see yourself doing if you weren't in the entertainment industry?
CrawfordShepard404 karma
Cube: Most interesting memories of working with David O. Russell and Spike Jonze?
Norfric369 karma
For Hart: A lot of your jokes are based off you being short and black. What would be your next go-to jokes if you were neither of those?
jbasstastic330 karma
Kevin, Is your uncle still your physical trainer? Any other stories about times he talks to you like you're working out in the prison yard?
Iamkevinhart851 karma
Yeah, he's the best. Right now we use the Foreman Grill as a weight to increase the stamina and balance in the yard.
epeens327 karma
Not a question. Just wanted to say Kevin you are freakin hilarious. Laugh at my pain is one of my favorite stand ups.
Ice Cube it was pretty cool meeting you when you were on tour around the universities promoting your movie.
Sil_E293 karma
I'm one of the four guys in Radio Silence who made Devil's Due coming out the same weekend. If anyone kicks our ass, I want it to be you guys.
Edit: Also wanna welcome you to reddit!
Stampalamp292 karma
holy shit I've never been so early to an AMA before..
Kevin: What was the hardest part about making it big in comedy? Mr. Cube, whats you're favorite beverage?
nyohannes1259 karma
To Kevin- would you ever try acting in any other genre besides comedy?
Jmo_hdz250 karma
Kevin - what's your height? Cause everyone you post up next to is always taller than you. And I love all of your stand ups and movies. Respect how you never forget your roots.
Cube -Do you ever look back at where you first started in the rap game? And how much of a change do you feel it had made upon your career where you're at now?
_IceCube473 karma
There is no career without the rap game for me. It was my launching pad.
IAmRichHomieQuanAMA244 karma
Kevin: The episode of Real Husbands of Hollywood where Chris Rock "endorses" products is actually the funniest thing I've ever seen. How did Chris react when you pitched that to him?
Iamkevinhart384 karma
He loved it which is why he ended up doing it. Best friends forever!
Aziz232176 karma
Ice Cube: who do you think is the greatest comedian of all time? Kevin Hart: who do you think is the greatest comedian of all time?
_IceCube459 karma
Eddie Murphy is the greatest comedian of all times. Stage, television and movie Master.
Fallingdreams147 karma
Hi Kevin! What was it like working with Stallone and De Niro while filming Grudge Match? Who do you think would win if they fought in real life?
waggie21146 karma
To both: What is item #1 on your "bucket list" that you haven't done yet?
smoothjimi131 karma
Would you guys rather fight an ostrich, or a dude fighting with his feet?
_IceCube565 karma
I rather fight an ostrich. I've had several run ins with a few ostriches back in the day, kicked their ass.
Alejandro78pro120 karma
The real question here is how are you two so fucking hilarious!!! Do you consider this movie one of your best pieces you've done?
bushpigswag88 karma
Cube: Where does that cold-ass guitar riff from "Today Was a Good Day" come from? Everytime I pick up my guitar I sing Dooo-waa Dooo-waa, then I pick that little riff. =)
Kevin: I always thought that being an awards-host puts a comic on a tight balancing rope as far as offending people/getting laughs. Did you enjoy doing it, or was there a "rider" full of things you weren't allowed to use for jokes?
Iamkevinhart133 karma
Of course I enjoyed it, it's about pushing the envelope when you host those types of events.
andyourmothertoo81 karma
Hey Cube and Hart!
Cube: How will this movie with Kevin Hart differ from your other movies with other comedians i.e. Chris Tucker, Mike Epps...?
Kevin Hart: are you working on any other stand up projects? I went to go see you live in Phoenix and also went to go watch your movie. You sir, are hilarious!
Thanks guys!
_IceCube238 karma
It's better. Me and Kevin display a different kind of chemistry, not seen since the like of 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon and Bad Boys.
Iamkevinhart204 karma
Right now I'm building a new hour of material. I should be ready to tour in 2015.
HeffalumpndaWoozles45 karma
Kevin! As a vertically challenged person myself I'm wondering if you think people find it funny when you go HAM because you're short? or do they take you seriously most of the time?
Iamkevinhart362 karma
People take me serious all the time because of my prison background.
olimo1238 karma
If you had to listen to one song for the rest of your life, what song would it be?
jackiefate25 karma

Compact5020 karma
Mr. Cube. Mr. Hart. Big fan of your work. Here's wishing you both continued success.
Question for both: judging from the trailers, your new movie seems like it was a blast to record. What was the most fun about being on set with each other?
camalamalamalum2542 karma
Ice Cube: Do you feel like a cannibal when you have drinks with ice cubes in?
