Ice Cube has revealed his plans to reunite members of N.W.A. for Coachella on the same night that the classic Guns N' Roses lineup will be reuniting for the first time in more than 20 years. He further added that there will be "great visuals" projected during his set.
While promoting his new movie Ride Along 2 during an appearance on The Talk this past Friday (Jan. 15), the legendary rapper/actor got the panel and audience particularly excited with the news. “I’ve got some tricks up my sleeves … I’m gonna try to bring the members of N.W.A. together," he said. "Give everybody a little history lesson on Ice Cube and N.W.A., West Side Connection, everything I’ve been doing over the years."
The last time the rap community revisited N.W.A. was for last year's biopic Straight Outta Compton which was a worldwide hit. As Consequence of Sound reports, shortly thereafter, Ice Cube reunited with MC Ren and DJ Yella for a rare performance at the BET Experience. Once that happened, fans began to speculate about more shows, with the possibility of Dr. Dre and Eminem replacing the late Eazy-E, but none of that gained any traction.
Ice Cube also mentions that there will also be "some great visuals" during the set, which CoS points out could possibly hint at an Eazy-E hologram? They also feel that Dr. Dre will be more likely to participate this time around.
N.W.A. will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year on April 8, just one week prior to Coachella, which will take place in the Indio Valley from April 15-24. Ice Cube is scheduled to perform on the 16th and 23rd, so let's see what happens!
