Ice Cube, the rapper and actor concurrently known as O’Shea Jackson, has been around long enough and become culturally prominent enough that his son managed to build a solid acting career by playing his own father in a Hollywood-backed biopic. That sort of career longevity barely exists anymore. Mr. Cube recaps his nearly 40-year (not a typo – he joined NWA in 1986, when he was 16) music career, moving from the most dangerous man in hip-hop to… not that, on Thursday as part of the Truth to Power: Four Decades of Attitude Tour, which covers everything from “Straight Outta Compton” to now. (I will never know why “When Will They Shoot?” wasn’t a smash hit, but here we are.) – Joe Gross
