Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day
by T-Dog on 2024-05-09The Arena at TD Place - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5The moment he stepped on the stage, the whole crowd stood, and did not sit again, ever. Cube brought energy and charisma by the truckload, and the crowd ate it up. So many hits, so many memories brought back, and even more made on a sweaty Saturday night. My favourite part is that my 15 year old son knew words to songs that even I hadn't heard before! So many hits for the Ottawa crowd: Go To Church, Hello, Friday, Bop Gun, You can Do It, We Be Clubbin'. Old school NWA with Gangsta Gangsta and Straight Outta Compton. And my personal two faves from way back, Wicked, and How To Survive in South Central. Xzibit is, to me, the most under-rated rapper in the game. Amazing energy as well, and when the music cut out, without missing a beat he freestyled a few bars. Incredible! My ONLY complaint is that the sound off to the side of the stage where we were was a little muffled, I'm sure it was significantly better at the front. That being said, we were right beside the entrance so we got to see Peter Jackson (who was new to me but will definitely be checking into some more!) dancing to the other artists, interacting with fans, and just loving the show. And we got to see Xzibit high-fiving the crowd as he exited, and Cube throw a towel to a young fan. Just a fantastic night. Thank you Ice Cube!!! It was indeed A Good Day.
