If you had to award the Best Rapper Turned Actor Performance.... who wins?

[Shabazz]

Really? It sounds just like him, yet doing a parody of a rapper.

To be honest I've never looked it up, I could be wrong but I'm 99% it's him. The hospital scene where he's talking to Riley sounds exactly like him.

Yeah, when i read your original post it clicked.

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

Dr. Dre in training day deserved an award.

Will Smith out there with two best actor nominations in the Oscars and people naming guys for five minute roles.

You mean Fredro? Is there a particular performance you're referencing? Breh is cool, but he's the Loretta Devine of rapper-actors to me... same damn role every time. All he gotta do is show up and mean mug

disrespectful

Tighten up boy, you shaking like a stripper

AM I FINNA DIE OR NOT?!
Breh had suspense timing down pact
Plus them lines and the sadistic humor he got outta fukkin with you He should find a similar role in a more "mainstream" role IMO

Will Smith, Queen Latifa, etc... I dont think they even count anymore. They been acting way longer than they ever rapped.


Mark Wahlberg was a "rapper" too at one point, do you see him as such?

 

[Wildin]

It's Big Boi in ATL hands down for me. Breh outdid himself with that one






EDIT: To clarify, I'm not asking about over all.... I'm asking what's the best performance in a film

Big killed that role tho

Better than 3stacks for sure. On a film...and on wax

 

[I'm Blackman]

Snoop Dogg in Baby Boy.

He's chewing the scenery in that movie in a way only a trained actor could. He's the only one who realizes it's a comedy.

fukk yo fort nikka

Anthony Hopkins was only on screen in silence of the lambs for 15 minutes and won best actor. It's what you do with the time that counts.

[Asicz]

DMX as Tommy Buns in Belly.
Even film critics acknowledged him as a legitimate acting talent.

Mos def
Camron
Dmx
Mc eiht (m2s)
Method man can act too

Most of them they want the big baller roles which they usually can't pull off.

 

[Ahmen]

Big killed that role tho

Agreed wholeheartedly.

 

[Booker T Garvey]

Y’all sexist as hell for not mentioning queen latifah

Will is good in comedic roles or action roles. He’s trash in drama films.
