John Curtis O'Shea--what's missing for success?

By the way, the title is germane to the question.

Since it contains the word "Five", I wonder if the title also Jackie, Tito,
Marlon, and Michael to the question.

Aha, apparently it is:

John Jackson is a rapper better known as "Fabolous"
Curtis Jackson is a rapper better known as "50 Cent"
O'Shea Jackson is a rapper better known as "Ice Cube"

I don't see how the word "success" fits in, unless it refers to my success in
finding the missing word "Jackson".

Thank you!

In addition to that, adding "Jackson" produces the names of successful
rappers.

As soon as I get this paper around it, your Cormo will be hip-hopping
