I think that Samuel is misunderstood. I don't think that he is really dissing rappers that become actors. I think that he is dissing the circumstances under which they become actors. The examples that you gave were great--Ice Cube, Queen Latifah and Heavy D. They all paid their dues and made major moves. They dared to act when it wasn't popular and they weren't peddling albums in the spare time. Today, rappers come out with movies and make $50 million on the first weekend and have the nerve to had done the ENTIRE soundtrack. They got their roles because of who they were, not because of their skills. I have to give props to Will Smith because he has really proven himself as an actor. In fact, I like him better as an actor than a rapper. Who would have thought that his secondary career would become better than his primary?
