When it comes to learning lessons from father’s, Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr. Speaks On Ice Cube.

Jackson, Jr. said the greatest lesson he’s learned from his dad is to have confidence.

He explains:

“Have confidence in everything. No matter what it is that you’re doing, know that you can do it better than anyone.”

“You know, you have to have — when I was about 11, 12, he told me confidence is how you get girls. When you know, when you’re playing basketball, you have to have confidence in your moves if they’re gonna work. He’s just always building that confidence in all of us, in all of my siblings.”

He realized early on his dad was NOT like others dads.

Jackson, Jr. said:

“A lot of parents– a lot of kids do not think their parents are cool. Oh, no. My dad’s cool.”

“You know, I was born in 1991. That’s when ‘Boyz n the Hood’ came out.”

“So I’ve always see him on TV. I don’t see everybody else’s dad, you know. So I’ve always had a sense of, you know, he’s cool. He’s in the light.”

Ice Cube revealed that he wanted his son to earn the role of playing his father:

He adds:

“I couldn’t give it to him because we were doing a serious movie. And it’s my job as a producer to protect the movie, not to, you know, make it a family and friends hour.”

Maybe we will be able to see Cube and O’Shea do a movie together or even have his son be in a Friday film.

It would be cool to have Ice Cube as your dad. Not only is he a cool dad according to his son, but he is also a hip hop pioneer.
