When Rappers Try to Act....

This is too funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVAbPL31TaE
😆 😆 Whos missing from this list?

I don't think Ludacris deserves to be on that list.. He was good in Crash, and he held his own in Hustle & Flow. Maybe you should watch it. I saw a commercial that its on tv tonight. I'm sure you will be surprised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0jkYgXLoIg

there's good examples as well, though.

like ice t in law and order; svu - the show would be incomplete with out Finn.

and eminem in 8 mile was awesome.

Eminem in 8 mile, was playing Eminem in 8 Mile. Not really acting when you're playing yourself.

He was a down south rapper in Hustle and Flow. Not really acting when you're playing something you already are.

Ice Cube

It still takes a level of acting to perform in front of the camera without looking stupid.

You know those things they call music videos? Yeah its not the first time they've been in front of a camera. Eminem nor Ludacris deserve recognition for those two roles when they're basically playing themselves.

this high schooler is a rapper wannabe. he trys to rap on a bus full of middle and high school kids. its innertating sometimes but when your trying to lissen to your ipod full of REAL rap then it get's annoying

Rappers are good for cameos in movies and thats it.

tupac was a great actor IMO

tupac was good. i think tupac as the best actor that was a major rapper followed by common.

ice cube, ja rule, ludacris, and dmx are alright. they all seemed pretty confident in front of the camera but over do it most of the time. em was meh. method man and snoop did some comedies kinda good.

50 cent sucks as an actor so does jayz and nas.

i think this thread should be renamed "WHEN RAPPERS TRY TO SING!".

...why? that doesnt even make sense considering the topic of the thread.

like you were trying to make a joke or...?

I dont have any kind of issues with Rappers trying to be Actors but some of them should stick with what they are good at.

Queen Latifah is the only legit actress.

Ice Cube is was better in his earlier days of acting... the "Friday" movies and "Boys in the hood". His family type films are as good.

Kid Cudi is decent on "How to Make it in America"... though, he didn't have much screen time in season 1.

Common was was really good in Smokin Aces

Will Smith is the one and only shining example. He is the exception to the rule.

LL Cool J has been hit or miss. I liked his tv show and he plays the cop role well.

Mos Def is probably the second be rapper to turn actor; he has some serious skills... watch a movie called "Something the lord made", he's brilliant. He was good in "16 blocks" as as well.

Tyrese is only good when he isn't the lead. He was decent in Baby Boy but i never really took him seriously as a dramatic actor. He does have pretty good comedic timing though.

What was wrong with 2Pac?

Eminem was very good in 8 Mile.

Eminem was playing Eminem in 8 Mile.

alot but can't think of any right now.But I can't stand it when rappers try to act in movies they are so horrible.
