Kid (Kid 'n Play) on Ice Cube Mocking Him Over His "Clean" Image After NWA Got Banned (Part 12)

Well, you know you mentioned Dr. Dre, who's going through a nasty divorce right now and he had a brain aneurysm and he was in the hospital for like a week in the ICU right down the block from me, he was in Cedars, okay , I live right above. the block uh that was like we really thought we might lose Dr. Dre in 2021 and that's where Easy died too much in Cedars. Yeah, by the way, did you ever interact with these guys? and stuff like that but you guys knew each other no yeah we toured together in the past man oh okay yeah just kidding I

play

in nwa total offices feel good what could go wrong if you come back to the cinema directly? from compton right yeah that tour they were on we were on that tour they just didn't mention it in the movie were you in detroit when no no we weren't at the detroit show but we were because we actually had to leave ? tour a little early because we went to film the original house

part

y, so we weren't at the Detroit show, but we did like, I don't know, probably about eight shows with them, uh, uh, easy e nwa kid and

play

jj fad doc um I think uh kwame might have been on that too and um yeah and I remember they approached us on that tour and I was like what are we doing with these gangster guys man get out of here and uh?

You know, because I thought they were like two different audiences. I was like, "We're not, we're not," and you know, everyone else was like, "No, we'll do it, we'll do it right, and then we had the best." time, y'all know, I know them to this day, man, I'm right about them, but to be fair, you really have to understand that back then there were so few hip-hop groups that you couldn't just segment them. John to the hip-hop genres, right, but let me let me tell you why but let me let me tell you why let me tell you why groups like nwa and why groups like public enemy always asked us to tour with them, we helped them, we help them. goes into the buildings, those groups had trouble getting insurance for those buildings, so public enemies call us every year like me, boom, boom, we have kids and we play and you know, they used us, you know, I mean, They didn't use us, but they joined us.

We are here to show that not everything is boom diddy bap, it is not gangsta rap, it is not that you know political things about the public enemy and we all hang out together, that's why they would throw us out or jazzy jeff and will on. on the bill with them to get into the building was tk kirkland tk kirkland you always make me talk about this he's everywhere tk yeah 2k no tk it was he was the emcee of that tour nwa he was, you know, of all the acts and whatever, yeah, that's because somehow it was too short, it was also there, too short, sure, sure, sure, we were the ones that didn't really belong, but we were like, hey, whatever you know , some crazy easy story along the way. um, you know what back then, like I said, we didn't really know each other before that, you know, so it was like an east coast, west coast, but once we got there, we got down and started kicking it, man, we all got we got along well. you know, playing pool, you know, in the hotel or something, um, and you know, like chasing girls, stuff like that, there was a lot of stuff going on back then, um, we never saw a lot of easy stuff, you know what I like I mean. outside of being on stage, the easy thing was always to keep it moving and he was always like, you know, you know, you know, the presidential suite or whatever, I mean, they kind of kept it separate or whatever, but I'll remember one.

The night we were performing, I think it was Cincinnati and they gave us a little pep talk before the show, like the city councilman and some of the local leaders saying, "Hey, you guys can't curse on stage, we can't have no". cussing there's zero tolerance like nwa don't even think about singing the police that's all it's done y'all can't cuss this and that and back in the days like you know how to play I was never really known for it but there was a point where, You know, the song got funky, where would we go, man, not even with me we get funky like that, we'd do that, so that night we flipped it, went back to the original and were like, man, don.

Don't even mess with me we're getting weird and then nwa went on and they started cursing and stuff and we all had to run off the stage and into the van before the cops came and ran away. Back to a heat, so the hotel is fine, so bam, we ran, we all run in and we're all in the van together. I'm in the van and we get Ren and an ice

cube

and then we're all up there and then me. I think it was

cube

cube he looked at me like you know look at me like I'm a fool and he was like man don't even mess with me we're getting weird I was like shut up like you he's like your ass because they were cussing , that's the reason we had to dive, but he was like, man, don't even mess with me, we get weird, shut up, ice cube.
