Mos Def fukkin sucks...his performance in 16 Blocks was annoying with that dumb ass voice he was fronting with and he really put a bad lean on The Hitchhiker's Guide even though that still turned out to be a decent movie...real fukkin talk TI is a better fukkin actor than Mos Def...
 
Do not sleep. Great fucking movie.

What could have been.
 
TI is a better fukkin actor than Mos Def...

I guess you haven't seen his Emmy-nominated performance in Something the Lord Made, his tight bit as a clever cop in The Woodsman or his fine Broadway turn with Jeffrey Wright in the Tony-nominated Topdog/Underdog.

He was actually a professional actor (as a teen) long before he was a successful rapper.

I'll try and watch those but the movies I saw him in he fukkin sucked...! :angry:
 
LL was awesome in Mindhunters.

But I think Ice Cube and Ice T are better actors than Luda.

I would rate Will Smith number one except I never considered him a real rapper.

You may not have liked his "choices" for the characters in those films (his college background is in experimental theatre so he can be offbeat or minimalist to a fault), but his body of work (since his young teen TV-movie appearances) suggests that he's quite proficient, just somewhat unconventional.

It has nothing to do with his choice in characters...how he acted stank...I said I will give the movies you recommended a chance...leave me alone now...! :hmm:
 
Will Smith
Mos Def
Tupac
Queen Latifah

The rest aren't really worth mentioning

LL was awesome in Mindhunters.

What's a real rapper?

And Ice T has never acted, that's why every role has been exactly the same as his role in New Jack City, just different names.

and LL Cool J was awesome :lol:

Will Smith won the first Grammy for rap in 1988 you have to give him props.
 
yeah i don't want to quote a certain person but they are right, mos def is the shit, don't judge off one performance.
 
Mos Def fukkin sucks...his performance in 16 Blocks was annoying with that dumb ass voice he was fronting with and he really put a bad lean on The Hitchhiker's Guide even though that still turned out to be a decent movie...real fukkin talk TI is a better fukkin actor than Mos Def...


I can't believe that you never saw Something the Lord Made.
 
Mark Wahlberg is obviously in the Top 3, while both Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz, two constantly working actors, are right up there.

marky mark is a POP star not a rapper...and he shuns his "rap" past anyway...
 
Will smith
Ice T
Ice cube
Queen Latifah
LL Cool J
Tupac (because his life was cut short)

tupac played a few of different character types in his roles..has LL ever played a weak character? Tupac did in Gang Related...

Did LL ever play a drug addicted musician? Tupac did in Gridlock'd..

and i'm sure there would be more to come if he hadn't been killed..

how many different characters did LL play in all his movies?
 
Queen Latifah
Will Smith
DMX
cosign on Marky Mark
2Pac the best out of all of them


Oh yeah... I forgot about Fredro Starr, he got to fit somewhere in the top 5.

What about Kool Moe Dee? That dude been in a lot of movies. Kid N Play? They ain't very good actors in my opinion though.

What about Nas? He sucked in Belly, but that nigga never sold one gram of coke. Nas Escobar :hmm: Studio Gangsta. He does all his acting on wax.

you have GOT to be fucking kidding with DMX:lol:
 
Will Smith is a beast as an actor, in fact, i'd consider him one of my favorite actors.

Mark Wahlberg belongs on that list..But i guess dudes gonna hate cause he's white, lol..
