Ja Rule and 50 Cent Are Beefing Again Because Time Is a Flat Circle

by
May 13, 2008
After watching Street Kings, hearing the news that Common had been cast in the upcoming Terminator Conservancy: The Future Begins movie, and noticing Xzibit's appearance in The X-Files: I Desire to Believe trailer, I started to think almost those popular rappers that take tried their mitt at acting. Considering this, I started to think which I'd like to encounter more of and those that should put downwards the make-up and stick to the mic. A big office of my motivation here stems from enjoying Mutual's, albeit brief, performance in Street Kings, especially when he delivers the line, "we straight nightmares," which to me was the only truly spooky scene of the flick. So on to the list!
To give a bit of context, I'thousand non talking nigh all-time and worst of all time, nor judging those based on performances of way back when (e.g. Water ice-T in New Jack Metropolis back in 1991). This is a look at those rappers turned actors that are active in movies correct now, and those that perchance should or shouldn't be.
10 All-time Rappers Turned Actors
x. Eminem
Real Proper name: Marshall Mathers
Turning to acting in 2002's 8 Mile, Eminem hasn't resurfaced since. His debut was loosely based on his ain life, so that probably fed his performance. Can he hold his own in other projects? I'd like to discover out.
Next Pic: Undetermined
9. T.I.
Real Name: Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr.
With his 2006 performance in ATL and more recently his supporting role in American Gangster, T.I. holds his own on screen. Now if he tin can just manage to avoid jail time, nosotros might become to meet more than of him.
Next Movie: Undetermined
8. Ludacris
Existent Proper name: Chris Bridges
Though not very seasoned in the acting profession, Ludacris was surprisingly well regarded in his supporting part in Crash dorsum in 2004. Every bit such, I'll give him a laissez passer for being involved in Fred Claus.
Next Movie: Guy Ritchie'south RocknRolla
7. Tyrese
Existent Name: Tyrese Darnell Gibson
A completely agreeable supporting bandage member, Tyrese is a welcome addition to nigh films. His last role in Transformers seemed the right scale for him. Taking the atomic number 82 as in Waist Deep, on the other hand, tin can be a bit of a stretch.
Next Movie: Death Race with Jason Statham
6. Common
Existent Name: Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr.
Not that I followed much of the guy'southward music, but Common immediately piqued my interest as a bodyguard in Smokin' Aces. There's something about the guy's vocalism and delivery that is so smooth and gangster y'all can't turn abroad.
Next Picture show: Wanted
five. LL Cool J
Real Name: James Todd Smith III
A seasoned actor, LL Cool J hands straddles both fields. He is scheduled to release his last album, Get out 13, afterwards this yr. Maybe that will requite him the headroom to tone up on interim, since his concluding few projects have been pretty lame (e.g. The Last Holiday, Edison).
Next Movie: The Deal
4. Mos Def
Existent Name: Dante Terrell Smith
This is a guy I relish in just about anything, relieve for perhaps his nasally voice in xvi Blocks. From The Italian Job to Exist Kind Rewind, I'm always intrigued when he's involved with a new project.
Next Movie: Cadillac Records equally the famed Chuck Berry
3. Queen Latifah
Real Name: Dana Elaine Owens
Latifah but narrowly misses the second spot. She's definitely come a long way over the years and has earned numerous awards equally an extra. Merely a good deal of her roles are more supporting in nature, and I similar the runner-up's films a bit better.
Next Movie: The Undercover Life of Bees
2. Marky Mark
Real Name: Mark Wahlberg
It's hard to imagine that Marker Wahlberg was ever considered a rapper, given how cached that history has become. Despite starting out as the lead of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Wahlberg has grown into a determinative actor.
Next Flick: One thousand. Dark Shyamalan's The Happening
1. Will Smith
Existent Proper noun: Willard Christopher Smith Jr.
Topping the list, Will Smith needs no introduction. The guy keeps churning out slap-up movies. Do folks even remember him as the Fresh Prince?
Next Movies: Hancock
10 Worst Rappers Turned Actors
10. Andre 3000
Existent Name: Andre Benjamin
Though I hate to put him on this list, Andre 3000 really hasn't come through for me. His office in Four Brothers was flat and Idlewild was more than of an Outkast vehicle than anything else. Admittedly, I didn't see Semi-Pro, but I lost interest in him after Revolver.
Next Movie: Battle in Seattle
9. Xzibit
Real Name: Alvin Nathaniel Joiner
Though his gravely voice lends him to be an intimidating henchman, I have however to see what else might be appealing with the recognized host of MTV's "Pimp My Ride." Perhaps his participation in the upcoming X-Files will shed a bit more light on this guy.
Next Motion picture: The X-Files: I Desire to Believe
8. Ice-T
Real Name: Tracy Marrow
I totally respect the guy for his early work and groundbreaking music career, but I'm glad he's now but a regular on "Police force and Society: SVU" and not much else. You can just take him in limited doses.
Adjacent Movie: Thira
7. Ice Cube
Real Name: O'Shea Jackson
Much like Ice-T, Ice Cube has been around for a while and certainly has some cred. However, his latest projects have sucked large time (e.g. Are We There Nevertheless?). Unless he tin redeem himself in the A-Team, I'd say he should retire from of the big screen.
Next Movie: The Longshots
half-dozen. Snoop Dogg
Real Proper name: Cordozar Calvin Broadus
I have to acknowledge, I did love Snoop Dogg'due south graphic symbol Huggy Bear in the 2004 remake of Starsky & Hutch. Withal, the smoked out pimp shtick is a bit old, specially in movies similar Soul Plane and Hood of Horror.
Next Moving-picture show: Por Vida
5. Method Human
Real Name: Clifford Smith
Similar to Ice-T, Method Man is much more interesting when he has a cameo on "Constabulary and Society" or every bit the Baltimore drug dealer, Cheese, on the "The Wire." And while I oasis't seen it all the same, I doubtable his involvement in The Wackness is brief and forgettable.
Next Movie: The Wackness
four. Big Boi
Real Name: Antwan André Patton
Thankfully, one half of the popular outfit Outkast, Big Boi hasn't managed to cleave out an acting footprint just yet. His biggest role was alongside his fellow band mate Andre 3000 in Idlewild back in 2006. In that location hasn't been much since. Let's keep it that way.
Side by side Movie: Undetermined
3. The Game
Existent Proper name: Jayceon Terrell Taylor
I remember the merely reason why The Game ever got an acting gig was because his face looks like the rough side of a rundown liquor store. That'southward not to say he doesn't brand for a perfectly fine throwaway bad guy in Street Kings, but he's still pretty forgettable.
Next Moving picture: Undetermined
2. DMX
Real Name: Earl Simmons
Despite trying to cement himself as action-movie sidekick (e.g. Never Die Alone, Cradle 2 the Grave), DMX just doesn't accept information technology. Truthful, his phonation (like Xzibit) does him well as an imposing figure, but that only goes so far.
Next Flick: Concluding Hr
1. fifty Cent
Existent Proper noun: Curtis James Jackson
How this guy gets to star reverse Al Pacino and Robert Deniro in the upcoming Righteous Kill is beyond me. Did they not see Get Rich or Die Tryin' or Home of the Dauntless? He easily tops the pile and is one I would love to meet stay out of theater… forever.
Next Flick: Righteous Impale
Do yous agree or disagree with my selections for the best and worst rapper actors?
