Common luda and ti made their names as rapper before they got into acting.

terrance howard Donald Glover mos def and drake pretty much take the cake imo.

Common was a rapper before actor. This thread is about actors before rappers. Like I said. Mos Def gets this by a landslide.

ah, in that case, it's donald glover for me, though i think he dropped a tape while he was writing for 30 rock and a little before he got into that comedy group. if he still counts then he's a way better actor than mos.

Make this about actors who are Primarily connected with acting and that do music or rapping on the side. Omit people like Drake and Mos Def and Pac.

Drake had a legit acting career before he got on as a rapper. Hell when he was on the come up alot of folks was still referring to him as jimmy:heh:
Mos def was also a child actor
The only one I'm on the fence with is pac since his rap career and film career basically took off at the same time

OK. Drake is not Primarily connected with acting. He is known as the highest selling Rap artist of modern day times. His work on Degrassi is a side note. Similar with Mos Def and Pac

Not anymore but yes he was. The nikka was an actor all the way from childhood to adulthood and was on a popular TV show. He was wheelchair Jimmy to alotta people for a minute before people stopped associating him with the show.
