Oh wait, it’s Fred Durst who’s probably going to get his directors pass revoked any day now, Cube still makes money at the box-office with his ungangster-like family fare.

The multi-hyphenate rapper/actor/filmmaker /etc. will star alongside rapper Young Jeezy in “Janky Promoters,” a comedy about shady hip-hop promoters in over their heads, Jeezy will obviously play the main rapper. Cube will play one of the promoters.
