What kind of funk was this?
Saturday night was a beautiful slap in the face for nostalgia, with not only Game 2 of the World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, but also a great pregame performance from rapper Ice Cube. And it clearly did a good job of exciting the Dodgers and the Los Angeles crowd, and the Boys in Blue went on to win. 4-2 victory The score is 2 wins and 0 losses in the series.
Well, the Yankees must have felt the need to respond with their own hip-hop act, more specifically in the legendary rapper department. Because who would provide a musical performance to cheer up New Yorkers? (Related: Dodgers plan to enter free agent free agent sweepstakes after World Series: Report)
Fat Joe…yes, that guy.
And not only was it an embarrassing choice, but Fat Joe’s rap was completely awful. I mean it’s so bad that I want to listen to my high school wife’s bad taste, and it’s pretty bad!

And when you compare it to Ice Cube’s performance, it’s even worse, because Cube killed it!

And both the Yankees and Fat Joe were killed for it.

I don’t hate it, but Fat Joe opening for the Yankees might be one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. I think I bought it at 50% off on sale. pic.twitter.com/h3YHoW4btu

Dear New York
Fat Joe is not Ice Cube.
Sincerely,
the rest of us— Beeks 🐥 (@beeksvybe) October 29, 2024
New York, you all deserved to lose the World Series because of this Fat Joe, isn’t there a better player?
And if you thought it was bad to be thinking about eating a pizza bagel at 9 o’clock at night, Fat Joe comes out here and makes it look like a lunchtime carrot snack!
