College Attended: Phoenix Institute of Technology

Studied: Architectural Drafting

Before Cube rapped about the social ills of coming straight out of Compton, Calif., he went to school to study architectural drafting. The South Central native enrolled at the Phoenix Institute of Technology in the fall of 1987. Before he could finish two full years, N.W.A. struck gold with their groundbreaking debut and Ice Cube's star appeal hasn't dimmed since. In fact, his resume in entertainment has grown to include film director, producer, screenwriter and actor. He may not have designed any physical structures but the drafting of his career is unparalleled.
