Ice Cube Recalls N.W.A Being Shut Out Of “Straight Outta Compton” Listening Party

By Kyle Eustice • December 11, 2018

Ice Cube was Monday night’s (December 10) guest on The Late Late Show With James Corden where he dove into the archives and pulled out a hilarious story about his N.W.A days.

With actor Sean Hayes listening in, Cube recalls the night the Hip Hop legends were banned from attending their own album listening party for 1988’s Straight Outta Compton.

“We couldn’t get into our own listening party,” Cube explains. “They had it at this boujee club. We couldn’t get in. We were late because of Eazy. He always made us late. We show up — it’s a pretty swanky, gotta have your Easter shoes on and stuff like that — we come in khakis and Chucks and they like, ‘What the hell?’ We ain’t famous then so nobody really know who we are.

“So the security was like, ‘You gangbangers ain’t comin’ in.’ Like, ‘This is our album.’ So, we fought with this dude. The owner of the label came out, trying to convince security to let us in. They like, ‘Nope, we’ve seen this before.’ So we ended up going to IHOP and fussing about it, complaining. Yeah, it was terrible.”
