Nearly 30 years since it left the air, "Welcome Back, Kotter" is slated to make a return and Ice Cube is leading the way.

According to a recent interview with MTV, the rapper-turned-box-office-star revealed that a script is there, but it would have an urban take on the 70s sitcom, with himself playing Mr. Kotter.

"There's a script," Cube told MTV. "We've got the same characters, they're just re-vamped to suit the times, totally different. It's like, flipped. With me playing Kotter, how couldn't it be?"

In addition to the urban re-vamp, the new "Welcome Back" will also lose a few other things regular to the show -- including Mr. Kotter's uncle jokes, John Travolta's Barbarino dance and Epstein bringing in phony letters from his mother. But, Cube maintained that all the most of the original ideas and concepts will be all the same.

"I'm gonna flip it. It ain't gonna be no Gabe Kaplan sh--," he said. "The names will be saved, don't worry about it. Everybody will have the same name. To me, it's still a comedy, but it's real. It's more of a 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High,' not so much 'Up your nose with a rubber hose.' "

Although the re-make is not 100% confirm, Cube says that if it does take place, he plans to get some of the old cast down with the movie.

"I want everybody," explained the rap veteran. "I want Travolta for a cameo, I want Gabe Kaplan for a cameo. I want Epstein, Horshack, Washington. If they do [make the movie], I want 'em in."

"Welcome Back, Kotter" originally began in the 70s, and tells the story of a former high school troublemaker who returns to his New York stomping grounds to teach a new generation of troubled students. It helped to launch the career a young John Travolta at the time.
