Which actors would make decent rapper?

[MoeDollaZ$]

Think of actors like Mekhi Phifer, Wesley Snipes or Aubrey Graham. what actors do you think have the range to be a rapper?

So you judge your rappers by looks ha, interesting.
Or was this just another hate Drake thread.

acting is technical so is rapping. an actor embodys a persona that is not thier own. it has nothing to do with looks or hatin on drake

Computer science is technical as well.

The best actor in the world would most likely be a wack rapper, the correlation is weak. Jay-z might (or not) be the greatest rapper, I doubt that he could act unless he was playing himself. Pac could act and rap. Mark Wahlberg is a great actor, garbage rapper.

So my conclusion is that while there might be a weak correlation since they're all "artist" according to themselves, it's not enough to play a "qualified guessing game".

I also think that it's easier to be a decent actor than a decent rapper.

Wesley Pipes...

His shyt talking during the intros/outros would rival

 

[Juneya]

Rick Ross

 

[Tom]

Hot Rod

actors been rapping...since 79

Omar Epps... dude is versatile as a actor... I'd imagine his Hip Hop music to have the same versatility....

 

[DaveyDave]

Omar Epps used to be a rapper he had a group back in the early 90s or somethig. In dont think they ever released anything major. Idris Elba (Stringer) is also a rapper, Scott Caan had a kiddie/teen group back in the day with Alchemist.

Not to say that they are "good" rappers or actors necessarily
