50 Cent was good in Righteous Kill

Ice Cube is my favorite rapper/actor

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

He was on Boss and he did really well.

A surprise for me was Rick Ross on Magic City. He basically played himself, but it came off so smooth on the TV show.

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.
No mention of Bow Wow?

The worst is Sticky Fingaz... Every time I see him in a film I just :snoop:


Im surprised that you didn't list Method Man... He has a great resume.. True he' mostly casted as a thug, but its never monotonous.. Its like he always brings a fresh prospective to the character he's portrying

2pac, LL (off of In Too Deep), Sticky I thought was ok in the Blade show

Most other dudes are just playing themselves in some form or another.
