You can be red or blue when it comes to your Manchester football club, but you can’t be both. Just like with Los Angeles street gangs the bloods and crips, as comedian Kevin Hart put it. And that is quite the analogy there. Here below you can see Hart in a video with rapper/actor/producer Ice Cube talking the Manchester United vs Manchester City rivalry.
Saturday will commence the next edition of the Manchester Derby, and this one will be the most expensive in history, with over £670 million in combined transfer fees between the two clubs.

Here’s a link to more on that. Hey, there’s nothing more gangsta rap than making, and also spending big money.
Kevin Hart also partook in a friendly penalty shootout with then Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart in 2015. Last year, Hart participated in a rematch at City Football Academy. Ice Cube, his co-star in “Ride Along 2,” because really that’s all this video was actually about anyway (plugging their movie) was there to watch. Still, here’s the video of the penalty shootout.
“Straight outta Compton,” a N.W.A. biopic profiling the life of Ice Cube and starring his son, was one of 2015’s most successful movies.
Its impact was felt everywhere; including the Premier League. Dr. Dre, who is right there with Cube as the most famous member of N.W.A. ,received a signed Manchester United kit as his 50th birthday present.
