New York - During an autograph session for War & Peace Vol. 2 (The Peace Disc), released Tuesday (March 21), Ice Cube admitted that Vol. 1 of the series wasn't his best work.

"With the last record, I didn't focus as much because I was working on movies," says Ice Cube. "It was [mostly] songs I had accumulated. So it was a little strange."

The rapper (born O'Shea Jackson), dressed in a white FUBU jumpsuit and a light-blue Los Angeles Dodgers hat, signed autographs for fans during a late-night appearance at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square, in support of the new disc.

Ice Cube sounded happy with his career direction as he spoke with reporters earlier in the evening. "Next Friday," which he also wrote and starred in, spent two weeks as the #1 movie in the U.S. in January. He said that achievement, like his hip-hop career, was the product of hard work.

"This is a maze," he said. "And the best way to get through a maze is to know what you're doing before you start."
