Rapper actors that have ok-good acting skills

[StraxStrax]

This thread has def. been made but I don't want to up a thread in The Booth. I need The Film Room to discuss this.

Before we start we have to get one thing straight. Will Smith is the best rapper/actor and has awards and box office to back that up. You might think he's corny but the people have spoken on this matter.

So we got

DMX
Mark Wahlberg
Mos Def
Snoop Dogg
Queen Latifah
2pac
LL Cool J
Ludacris
Ice Cube
Ice-T
Diddy
Eminem
Common

These are not all people I think are ok or good, some of them are bad. I'm just throwing names out there and I'm forgetting many I'm sure.

Snoop Dogg is mad underrated as an actor.

He is hamming it up in Baby Boy, and it works wonderfully.

 

[Box Factory]

I thought TI did a good job in american gangster and ATL wasn't that bad either for being a kinda corny teenager movie.

Surprised he hasn't gotten more work tbh

 

[45123]

Raekwon

 

[Groanman]

Andre 3000 bousta blow up on the silver screen, dawg.

 

[Figaro]

Raekwon be the GOAT

Snoop Dogg is mad underrated as an actor.

He is hamming it up in Baby Boy, and it works wonderfully.

2Pac could've been a tier below Will Smith with a few more roles...


Mos Def is good


Common has gotten MUCH better he was damn near the best thing about Hell On Wheels

Queen Latifah is very good

 

[satam55]

RZA.

 

[satam55]

[KevCo]

Luda for his SVU episodes
Ice T isnt bad either
Mos def is aight
Pac was very good
Will smith is proably the best
But I am a bigger fan of Wahlberg

[TheGodling]

Haven't seen the Jimi Hendrix movie yet (which has gotten him his biggest critical acclaim as an actor yet) but based on his other roles Andre 3K is definitely up there.
