Ice Cube X Fat Joe Performance at the World Series
Ice Cube X Fat Joe Performance at the World Series
It’s been several days since the Dodgers won the World Series. The Ice Cube and Fat Joe performances are buzzing on my social media feed, although from a foreign perspective it is quite different the vibe from east to west local fan as a main-event sports bandwagoner.
I can say that I like Fat Joe in the 2000s better than Ice Cube in the 90s. Fat Joe’s songs were typically designed to relax in a club, party place, or at home. Ice Cube was like a story of a typical day-to-day bravado and hood life. But the World Series is not all about entertainment.
It’s a severe high pressured ball championship. Like the wakawaka for world cup, eye of the tiger is for boxing and sail by awolnation for MMA extreme combat fighting. So the game face must be serious and not relax. So Ice Cube’s songs were ideal, plus his voice doesn’t change over the last 3 decades.
At the same time, Fat Joe was catching his breath like a retired, incredible, fast rapper like Emenem’s performance lately. It’s not fresh like they did it 2-3 decades ago.
I also like Jay Z’s previous performance of Empire State Of Mind ft. Alicia Keys. Maybe they should do this every World Series as they did in halftime in the Superbowl and NBA finals. As they include the Yankee, Lebron, Wade in the lyrics.
I’m looking forward for these songwriters, RnB singers and Rappers to include several team and names in the F1, Golf and Tennis so that they can sing it in the main event.
