My parents don't know the first thing about hip-hop. My dad likes Afroman for the album that has "Because I Got High" on it.... They both can identify Ice Cube by his face, voice and that he's a rapper.

Like I said, I don't think I actually know someone who hasn't at least heard of Ice Cube. I haven't asked all of them, but the point is that I know a lot of people who do know who he is, many of them aren't even fans, some of them haven't even heard his music. He is very influential, and a lot of people know who he is. I think that's a much better argument for him being rated properly than "Google search has millions of hits on 'ice cube is underrated'" is for him being underrated. That's just me, though.
