Conan O'Brien made Ice Cube the best Christmas card ever

In the new movie Straight Outta Compton, rapper and actor Ice Cube is portrayed by his very own son, O'Shea Jackson Jr. The pair were on Tuesday's Conan to talk about the experience, which was equal parts amazing and totally bizarre. "It's kinda like being in that Back to the Future movie," Ice Cube said. "I thought I was gonna change history if he came around the corner. I was like, 'No, put that hat on before we disappear or something.'" Jackson said Ice Cube "wasn't a helicopter dad," and let him figure out the role on his own. One thing he certainly didn't need help with was perfecting the Ice Cube scowl: Father and son showed off their identical frowns to Conan O'Brien, who took the liberty of snapping a photo and creating this year's Christmas card from The Cubes.
