Ice Cube may not actually be a "household name" today, but it's mostly because the genre isn't anywhere near as popular as it once was, but I still think he is a household name, even if he isn't as relevant as he used to be.
He is still a household name because of the movies he has been in and continues to put out but as far as music. He hasn't released anything music-wise in so long. If he continually put out music, he would gain new fans that would go back into his discography and check out this other work.

Yup, yup. My point exactly.

He isn't very relevant in the music industry today, and the last song that I remember him being a part of that was a big deal, was "Go To Church" with Lil Jon and Snoop. Not sure what he's released since, but that was actually a pretty big hit back in about '06. I admittedly don't pay much attention to him anymore, and I barely paid any attention to him back then, the only reason I know the song is because it was on the radio all the time.

He is a pretty big deal, and a household name musically a lot more than he is as an actor. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't know who Ice Cube is, or anyone who doesn't know that his primary body of work is as a rapper.
