O’Shea Jackson Jr. says Eminem has most iconic opening line in history

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.”

This is not the first time O’Shea Jackson Jr. is showing love to Eminem. Below is the timeline of him expressing admiration to Slim Shady over the years.

Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr. defends Eminem following Melle Mel comments

One of the most iconic figures in hip-hop, Melle Mel of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five has recently done an interview with The Art Of Dialogue where the hip-hop pioneer shared his thoughts about Eminem being in the Top 5 rappers of all time list by Billboard/Vibe magazine.

“Obviously, he’s a capable rapper. If we talk about sales and he sold more than everybody, okay, if we talk about rhyme style, okay, he got a rhyme style. But he is white! He is white! If Eminem was just another ni–a like the rest of us, would he be top 5 on that list when a ni–a can rhyme just as good as him is 35?! They had records and all that.” said Melle Mel.

Following his comments, Fat Joe, 50 Cent, Kxng Crooked, Kevin Gates have all come to defense of Eminem by disagreeing Melle Mel. The latest celebrity to weigh in on the topic is Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., who portraited his father in Straight Outta Compton movie.

The Los Angeles, California-born actor and rapper responded one of the users on Twitter who shared Melle Mel’s quote. “Bro we gotta cut this s–t out like Eminem ain’t one of the baddest on the planet. How many white rappers haven’t even been able to sniff his impact or success. #Himinem.” – wrote O’Shea in reply. You can check the tweet below:
