Ice Cube Fires Up Dodgers Stadium For World Series Game 2
The West Coast gangsta rap pioneer performed Westside Connection’s “Bow Down” and his own “It Was A Good Day.”
Ice Cube was a trending Twitter (X) topic on Saturday (October 26). The West Coast gangsta rap pioneer was a special guest as Game 2 of the 2024 World Series got underway at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles.
Rocking a blue Dodgers hat, jersey, jacket and matching Nikes, Cube got the crowd riled up shortly before his beloved hometown team took on the New York Yankees. Once he took the field, he shouted his signature “yay-uh-yay” catchphrase before he went into a performance of the 1996 single “Bow Down” by Westside Connection, which he dedicated to the Yankees.
“The world is mine, n**** get back,” he raps. “Don’t f### with my stack the gauge is racked/About to drop the bomb, I’m the m###########’ don/Big fish in a small pond/Now the feds tryna throw they book at the crook/But I shook they worm and they hook/Guppies hold they breath, they wanna miss me when I’m tipsy.”
Cube slightly changed the lyrics to “bow down to a team that’s greater than you, when you come to our town, y’all, when you’re westward bound y’all” as the Yankees looked on.” Cube then elated the crowd with a live rendition of “It Was A Good Day.” He added at the end, “It’s time for Dodgers baseball, baby!” before dropping the mic in the dirt.
