I realize that. I was applying the same principle to illustrate that the acts that don't make several randoms' lists of favorite artists doesn't make them underrated, or not a household name. I'm pretty sure that most people who listen to said music casually would know of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Ice Cube.

I'm not saying he's underrated or that the casual fan doesn't know who Ice Cube is or haven't heard of him mate, I'm saying I don't think he'd be included in many top 10s of people I know around my age in this country. And I don't think Ice Cube would give a shit either since anyone who actually knows their stuff rates him.
DJ says he's a household name cos of his films, I'm not a film buff but I would struggle to name more than one film he has been in. Boyz In The Hood, there was a kid's film he did a few years ago and that's all I know tbh. I would say people like Will Smith, Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp etc are household names in movies not Ice Cube. If you're asking who the most famous actors are now Ice Cube would not be someone I think of.

What would you say constitutes being a "household name"? I think if the average hip-hop/rock fan knows who you are, then there's a pretty strong argument that you're a "household name".
