Ice Cube is Still “Straight Outta Compton (The Roots Remix)” (Listen & Download)

Last Friday viewers of "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" were treated to one hell of a surprise when Ice Cube unexpectedly launched into a live version of his classic "It Was a Good Day". (Yeah, I don't know anyone who watches Jimmy Fallon either.) But what viewers didn't get to see or hear were the rehearsals between Cube and Fallon's house band, the legendary Roots crew. Well thanks to Roots drummer ?uestlove, we now get to hear the highlight of those rehearsals, a live version of N.W.A.'s classic "Straight Outta Compton". Yep, it's true. Everything sounds better with The Roots involved. Hell, I bet they could even make me start enjoying Katy Perry. "You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge."

Shout out to Jimmy Fallon for shattering the "White Guy Awkwardly Singing Along to Gangsta Rap" world record.
