Ice Cube’s “Good in the Hood”

Duane from Black Informant has a great peice on Ice Cube's new pilot program


A&E Network is currently in development on a non-fiction pilot produced by legendary hip-hop and film artist Ice Cube (“Black White,” “Are We There Yet?”)
and produced by reality TV veteran Dave Broome (“The Biggest Loser”) and Matt Alvarez (“Black White,” “Are We There Yet?”) titled “Good in the Hood.” The show explores stories of ultimate redemption.

In the vein of the fictional film “American History X,” “Good in the Hood” will feature real people who have pulled themselves back from the edge and are trying to do good by saving people they love from the life they once led.

“This show is a way to demonstrate what is going on in a positive way in the urban community,” said Ice Cube. “It is very important for me as an artist and individual to make sure these stories are told and I am grateful to A&E to allow us to do this.”
