Not my cup of tea but I cut him some slack 'cause he came off as a cool cat when I met him at the 2007 NAMM show.
I knew i'd seen him somewhere, but initially I couldn't place him.
Then it hit me, "That's Stringer Bell!". What really threw me was the accent.
Had no clue he was from England based on The Wire.

From what I understand, he's got a rep as a decent DJ in merry old England.

What's up with the ugly, nappy mohawk he's sporting? I thought that was something only the young boys were wearing??? I don't know how old Idris is but he ain't no spring chicken. I used to think he was fine until I saw this!eek

He doesn't have the mohawk anymore so I'm guessing this video is kind of old. Last I saw him with it was in that Christmas movie he was in with Chris Brown and Loretta Devine a few years back. These days he looks cool, calm and tall sexy drank of water. drool He doesn't sound bad either.

I saw this and I say "HHHHEEELLLLL NOOOOOO!!!"

What is it with black actors always tryna sing and black singers always tryna act? You don't see Jennifer Anniston and Avril Lavigne tryna jack each other's jobs.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
