Ice Cube had a lot to reflect on when he stopped by The Late Late Show With James Corden last night, including the recent live reunion of the N.W.A at Coachella last weekend. "Aw man, you know it was crazy," said an excited Cube. "It was like a dream come true for me. I've been thinking about this day ever since I left the group in '89. For it to take this long for us to all get back on stage...Of course, you know, minus Eazy-E, rest in peace. For the most part it was all of us up there it felt like magic." The performance marked another huge moment for the iconic group who were recently inducted into the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The conversation then shifted to the time Ice Cube directed a music video for the late Prince back in 1994. The video was for a track titled "Love Sign," which was a duet with the late Marvin Gaye's daughter, Nona Gaye, off Prince's 1-800-NEW-FUNK compilation. "I directed a video for him when I was trying to get my feet wet in directing," Cube said. "He usually did performance videos, so it was cool to get him to act a little bit. So we shot this video where he was a DJ and she was an assassin coming to kill him, but when she saw him she fell in love with him and they went off and did what Prince do."
