Dr. Dre and Ice Cube discuss the importance of having Black directors to authentically portray Black culture in film, referencing Denzel Washington's perspective on culture versus mere color: Ice Cube: Denzel made a good point when they asked him why couldn't a white person direct a movie he was directing. It's not color, it's culture. He said Scorsese—he can make an Italian movie because he knows the culture inside and out. He may not know what it smells like for a hot comb to go through a girl's hair on a Sunday morning. Dr. Dre: There's no way anybody outside the Black culture can understand what the hood smells like on a Friday night. (🎥Listen And Laugh / YouTube)
