Summary

O’Shea Jackson played his dad, Ice Cube, in “Straight Outta Compton,” but didn’t understand his dad’s legacy until O’Shea about in his teens. He shares stories from the movie set, what it meant to be at NWA’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and the best advice he’s received from his dad. O’Shea also grew up a huge wrestling fan and talks meeting The Rock in 6th grade, his favorite matches, and while he’s still never forgiven Stone Cold Steve Austin for the outcome of Wrestlemania 17.
