Who gets your vote for BEST ACTOR?
 

In the past several years many rappers/singers have appeared in movies. Who do you think is the best overall? What movie showed the best acting by a rapper/singer?

Well, I am not too much into action packed movies, but I did enjoy DMX in Exit Wounds. I am sure there are some others, but right now, I am trying to keep up with all these threads CT4 has created;)

LMAO
 

**talking like a 3 year old who just got up from a nap** Leave me 'lone!! LOL, I had a sudden burst of topics today. I wanted to get them all out.


So far, I have loved QUEEN LATIFAH in SET IT OFF and Living Single. I would love to see her in more movies.

I also have enjoyed the late great 2PAC, Ice Cube and Ice T, and DMX -- only saw him in Romeo Must Die.

Moma, gone give her a bottle, so she can go and get her nap out. I forget about Queen Latifah..She was an excellent actress. Will Smith, who can forget him, his movies are usually box office toppers. Diana Ross, was cool back in tha day.

I like Ice T (to say that he's had such an unusual background, this man is a very talented actor); Dianna Ross (she was incredible in LADY SINGS THE BLUES and MAHOGANY); Ice Cube is good; Queen Latifah continues to add to her good name with the roles that she's been playing; and Jennifer Lopez (although I hear that her attitude has changed, she still is a good actress to me).

ICE CUBE is a good actor.

Snoop is the worse actor I've seen and is in everything ,go figure.

Re: LMAO
 

Queen definitely earned my respect in "Set it Off". Will Smith worked it out in "6 Degrees of Separation". Although Jamie Foxx does n't get half of the credit he deserves as a singer, I really like his work too. Omar Epps also is a rapper...his work I love!

Will Smith - 6 Degrees of Separation
Ice-T - Surviving the Game (this was just the bomb)
Queen Latifah in pretty much anything
Markie Mark - the movie that starts with a B, I can't think of it right now.

Surviving the Game
 

Surviving the Game was OFF THE HOOK. It is based on a short story that I use with my students called the MOST DANGEROUS GAME.

Now I am not an LL fan at all, but he is actually a good actor. I watched In 2 Deep again last night and he played the heck out of that role. If you have not seen it, you have to....I give it 2 thumbs up.

He was also good in the other movie about the shark. I think it was called Deep Blue Sea.

Oh yeah, I forgot about LL. He's really doing some great things in the acting field. His LUCIOUS self!!

Mark Wahlburg (Markie Mark) was in Boogie Nights and in The Perfect Storm. Critics have given him overwhelming thumbs up for his acting ability. Plus I think he's kinda sexy.

Did you see that part at the end of Boogie Nights where he shows his penis? When I first saw the movie, I was kinda shocked at what it was about. But he was good. The movie was good.

I didn't know that Omar Epps was a rapper. More power to him because he's got it going on as an actor. He's also very sexy to me (don't tell my husband that I said that) :D :D

Will Smith
Ice Cube
Mos Def...got skillz on da low

Well I will tell you who can not act to save her life or career and that is Mariah Carey!!! I suggest anyone that has not seen glitter not to waste your time. Wait until the movie gets to the dollar show and then ask for a 99 cent refund!

I thought Usher was pretty good in that movie with the kids, I think it was called Lights Out or something.
I think I am the only one who liked Belly. I actually cried at the end when DMX got saved... Dont laugh..

Kay

He did ok
 

LIght It Up was a pretty good movie. I was just pissed that they killed old boy @ the end.

I enjoyed Busta Rhymes in Higher Learning:p

Will Smith and Queen Latifah are tied for first in my book.

I don't know if anyone remembers, but there was an episode of "Fresh Prince" where Will was confronting his issues about his absent father and I've never seen better acting. That is the episode that my boyfriend and I always remember because it felt so real.

Now I like Ice Cube and LL Cool J but they pretty much play the same type of characters. Cube-hardcore, attitude. LL- cop, cook, character with not much to them. But I still like them.

How could ya'll ????
 

Forget my second husband once removed 2 Pac for his outstanding role in "Juice" and Aailayah was decent in Romeo must Die.

Try Again
 

2nd HUBBY was mentioned, Soror, way back when byyyyyyy ME:

TTT in light of Meth saying Snoop can't act.

LOL...too funny!!!!!

My votes a couple of years later no doubt...remain the same:)

Will Smith
Queen Latifah
Ice Cube
LL Cool J (I watched "Kingdom Come" last night on cable :p)
Tupac Shakur
Heavy D
Ice T

Gotta give it up for the Queen.

I think J. Lo can act.

Will.

Mos Def.

Yeah Mos Def was really good in Brown Sugar. I am going to check out The Italian Job on Saturday.

My boyfriend dragged me to see this movie. I was pleasantly surprised. Mos did a great job with his character.

Queen Latifa and Ice Cube! Hands down!

I looooooooove.......
 

me some Mos Def. I think he is cute too.

Mark Walhberg was da BOMB in Renaissance (sp?) Man.

Of course, Queen Latifah is doing the damn thing!
