Hip-hop icon Ice Cube recently dropped some “truth bombs” on the NBA leadership. He has recently vented out his discontent and frustration on what he considers to be a disparity by the league for his own basketball venture, “The Big 3.”
The NWA rapper starred in a candid conversation on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Right from the start, the American rapper did not shy away from taking shots at the NBA.
But that’s not all – he also shared a special behind-the-scenes story with the iconic Hip-hop legend, Tupac Shakur. Even after 27 years of his passing, the ‘Gangsta rap’ icon is one of the most revered and influential figures of all time. What’s more – the hilarious story will leave fans amused at Tupac’s ‘greatness.’
Throwback to Ice Cube and Tupac’s hilarious studio encounter
In episode #2004 of the JRE, Joe Rogan sat down with the legendary NWA rapper and Hip-hop Hall-of-Famer. Ice Cube reminisced about a time at Echo Sound studio when Tupac rolled up in a Benz without even having a driver’s license.
Surprised by the flamboyant Benz, Ice Cube jokingly advised Tupac, “Man – park that car, man! You don’t know how to drive …” Shakur simply explained, “Nah, I’ve been in New York, for so long…I don’t worry about driving.”
A surprised Rogan added, “Learning how to drive – the first car is a Benz…”
Cube retorted – “Yup – Benz, you know it was like five hundred…”
It’s safe to say that only a legend like Tupac can say that so nonchalantly. After all, Shakur sold over 75 million records worldwide – cementing his legacy in a league of its own.
During the conversation, Joe Rogan asked Ice Cube about his first significant purchase. Ice Cube fondly recalled buying a Honda Accord, replying – “Oh, man – I bought a Honda Accord. I had bought a Honda Accord, you know – they had just come out with a new model – it was about 20Gs…”
This humble beginning reminds us of Ice Cube’s journey from his early days as a rapper to becoming a successful artist and entrepreneur.
