Video: Ice Cube x The Roots “It Was A Good Day” on LNWJF

Man, I wish this performance was longer. This past Friday, Ice Cube was a guest on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to promote his new show on TBS. At the end of the interview, at Jimmy's urging, Ice Cube performs the first verse of "It Was A Good Day" with The Roots backing him up (Jimmy plays hype man).
