Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr., best known for portraying his father in his feature film debut, Straight Outta Compton, has recently gave a shout out to Eminem on X.
Straight Outta Compton is a 2015 American biographical drama film directed by F. Gary Gray, depicting the rise and fall of the hip hop group N.W.A and its members Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, and DJ Yella.
One of the fans on Elon Mask’s social media asked what is the most iconic first line of a rap song, on which, California-born rapper and actor replied: ““Y’all act like you never seen a white person before.” – @Eminem.”
O’Shea Jackson Jr., also known by the stage name OMG, is referring to the opening line of Eminem’s 2000 hit song “The Real Slim Shady,” from The Marshall Mathers LP album: “Y’all act like you never seen a white person before / Jaws all on the floor like Pam, like Tommy just burst in the door…”
One user responded: “And your daddy is Ice…never mind.” On that, O’Shea commented: “That Eminem line is hilarious to me. It’s ok. Also everyone expects me to pick my dad with every rap question. So sometimes I like to switch it up to give my life variety.”
