Ice Cube is not a fan of rappers mailing in their performances — and has let his feelings be heard loud and clear.
During a recent concert in Houston, the N.W.A legend paused his set to scold his hip-hop peers who don’t put enough effort into their live shows and instead rely on the crowd to carry them through performances.
“Don’t you hate that shit? You spend all your money for the fucking tickets. Pay for parking. You got your hair did, you got an outfit and sht. And you gotta come to the show and sing all the fucking words. Come on, man. Damn!” he vented.
“I hate performers [who spend] half the show like this,” Cube continued, mimicking an artist holding out the mic to the crowd for them to rap (or sing) the lyrics. “It’s some bullshit, man. I came hear to hear you rap, muthafucka!”
