According to rapper Ice Cube, there could be a little N.W.A. reunion brewing – at least he hopes so.
Speaking on The Talk, the actor talked about his upcoming set ot the Coachella music festival, and how he might have some surprises in store?
Could Ice Cube get N.W.A. to reunite on stage?
“I’m trying to bring the members of N.W.A together — come with me on the stage,” Ice Cube said. “Give everybody a little history lesson on Ice Cube and N.W.A Westside Connection.”
N.W.A., one of the most influential rap groups of all time, produced their last album in 1991. The group, which included Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, and MC Ren (original member Arabian Prince left in 1989), had interpersonal issues. Eazy-E died in 1995 from an AIDS-related illness.
The bad blood between the remaining members has subsided over the years.
2015 was a big year for Ice Cube and the group’s legacy, as the film Straight Outta Compton, which chronicled N.W.A.’a rise and fall, was a huge hit.
It was also announced recently that N.W.A. will be part of the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class.
