SO WHEN I'M IN YA NEIGHBORHOOD YA BETTER DUCK, 'CAUSE ICE CUBE IS CRAZY AS WHAT? To the ever-increasing list of reasons why a guy who doesn't watch late night TV appreciates the fact that Jimmy Fallon has one, we now must add Ice Cube (and MC Ren!) and the Roots on somebody's iPhone warming up the crowd with a so-loose-so-tight, electrifying "Straight Outta Compton." It wasn't recorded for the show (which aired last month), but Fallon will air the footage when it reruns.

    Yeah, I geeked out on it when ?uestlove posted the link on his Twitter feed. That band can do no wrong.

    Also, if anyone here doesn't own the Jay-Z unplugged disc where the Roots are his backing band?  Listen to "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)", and then buy it already.

    Also, if you can find it you really need to hear Nina Gordon's acoustic version of Straight Outta Compton.

    That's not MC Ren, it's Black Thought of The Roots.

    Damn man, that's how view warm-up? Love how Kirk handled Easy E's part and was getting props from the guys on it.
