The World Series is set to get an infusion of hip hop energy as Ice Cube and Fat Joe take the stage in support of their hometown teams.
Ice Cube, a passionate Los Angeles Dodgers fan, is set to electrify Dodger Stadium with his hits “Bow Down” and “It Was a Good Day.” This comes ahead of Game 2 of the World Series match between the Dodgers and the New York Yankees. He showed his excitement on social media, promising to “knock it out the park.”
Meanwhile, in the Bronx, Fat Joe, an unwavering New York Yankees supporter, will bring the house down at Yankee Stadium before Game 3. He will perform special versions of his songs “New York” and “All the Way Up,” tailored just for this event.
The Major League Baseball has decided to amp up the excitement surrounding the series by unveiling an ad called “Empire State of California Love.” This ad blends each team’s highlights with the beats of JAY-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” and 2Pac and Dr. Dre’s “California Love.”
Besides prepping for his World Series appearance, Ice Cube has been creating a buzz with news about the beloved Friday movie series. He mentioned that a new movie is in the works, which will blend humor and nostalgia with fresh and returning characters, capturing the essence that makes the series so loved.
Cube’s revelation came on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, where he discussed reviving the project after overcoming challenges. He expressed his commitment to honoring the legacy of the original, acknowledging the loss of key figures like John Witherspoon, who passed away, delaying the sequel’s production.
With Ice Cube and Fat Joe adding their unique flair to the World Series, fans can look forward to a thrilling combination of sports and music, showcasing the vibrant culture of Los Angeles and New York.
