<\/div>\n

Ice Cube<\/a> had a dream come true this week when George Clinton<\/a> joined him for a rendition of his song, \u201cThat New Funkadelic.\u201d The rapper put out that track as a single shortly before the release of his latest album, Everythang\u2019s Corrupt<\/em>. \u201cThat\u2019s me trying to recreate what Funkadelic was to me,\u201d he told Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> at the time. \u201cIt was experimental, but it was very fun.\u201d The two, who previously recorded the hit \u201cBop Gun (One Nation)\u201d together in 1994, reunited at JammJam in Hollywood to celebrate Clinton receiving a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award.<\/p>\n

Cube performed the track with a full band, as fans filmed him and eventually Clinton \u2014 dressed in a purple outfit, a long blond wig and a police hat \u2014 ascended the stage and danced alongside the band. He then took the mic and joined in on the chorus: \u201cIce Cube got that new Funkadelic.\u201d As the song went on, Flea, Eddie Griffin and Anderson .Paak joined them onstage for the seven-minute jam.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started the track from scratch,\u201d Cube told Rolling Stone<\/em> of how it came together. \u201cMy man, T-Mix, made the music. There\u2019s no samples in there. To me, it\u2019s just a perfect remake of what that was, but up to date for now and talking about the West Coast, because P-Funk went to G-Funk, and that whole marriage is already great and welcomed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rapper said he\u2019d gotten positive feedback from Clinton on the track at the time. \u201cHe loved it,\u201d Cube said. \u201cHe just sent me a video of him listening to it, going off, talking shit and just loving the song, that we got the DNA. That\u2019s all I wanted to hear. That\u2019s all I needed to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Clinton told Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> how much he loved the track. \u201cI had it for six months before he put it out,\u201d he said. \u201cIt took everything in the world I had not to post it. \u2018Ice Cube\u2019s got that new Funkadelic, new Funkadelic.\u2019 Matter of fact, we\u2019ll be doing it onstage pretty soon [with my band].\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinton is on what he has said will be his final tour<\/a>. He received the Lifetime Achievement Grammy on Saturday at an event in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

JammJam was an event that was put on by Jammcard, a social networking app for music professionals.<\/p>\n
