So I've heard.
I just couldn't include her since I've never actually seen her do a good performance.

Yeah, he's not bad. Not great by "real actor" standards, but not bad either. I actually forgot about him.

How many rapper/actors are there? From the top of my mind I can think of:

Mos Def
Will Smith
Queen Latifah
DMX
Ice Cube
Ice T
LL Cool J
Snoop Dog

But I'm sure there are plenty more.

Who was in that silly heist movie? Jah Rule?

And of course: Tupac.

And Eminem.

yeah he mentioned something about that in an interview a while back when he first started on Law & Order...he said something to the effect of "yeah i know i had that song Cop Killer and now I play a cop, but it's all about the dollars"....go figure.

missfee said:

People still don't understand the Cop Killer song even though it has been discussed a million times. Hell, I bet most people who talk about it have never even heard it....

eikonoklastes said:

well i have heard it before and i know what it was about...but he still portrays a cop on television. still kind of hypocritical you gotta say.

missfee said:

Yeah money talks

I guess some old white folks must have thought he was cool

missfee said:

I agree with you 100%

Tupac wasn't too bad in Gridlock'd

Fauxie said:

I thought Tupac was a great actor.

JustErin said:

Yeah, I liked him. He was terribly pretty too.

Fauxie said:

Ya got that right.

JustErin said:

Pac was really on his way, he could have been GREAT

I liked P Diddy on South Park (that whole vote or die episode)

i just watched an episode with IceT...i liked it

Fauxie said:

fuck yes he was pretty....

luv4u said:

me 3

I will concur that Tupac was a fantastic actor, man... he held his own with people who were only actors!

Will Smith is another that is incredible... he's come a long way from Fresh Prince...

But, you will NEVER convince me that Ice T is a good actor... uh uh.

MarieAntoinette said:

Yeah, I guess my grandma likes him.

WTF

MarieAntoinette said:

Snoop is pretty bad. Doesn't he have some type of Girls Gone Wild tape out?

mostbeautifulgrlntheworld said:

Actually, his last GOOD album was released in the early 90's....when he formed Body Count.....

retina said:

And the Fresh Prince.

And Mos was acting before he was rapping, people don't really know that.

kpowers said:

I interviewed him and asked him about that and he said "Most cops are good. It's all about where YOU are in your life and why you feel the cops are screwing you over. They're just doing their job that's given to them according to the government."

He's mellowed a bit since Cop Killer.

Age will do that

kpowers said:

And a steady paycheck.

I liked him in the scifi movies
