10 Best and Worst Rappers Turned Movie Actors Today

firstshowing.net — To give a bit of context, I'm not talking about best and worst of all time, nor judging those based on performances of way back when (e.g. Ice-T in New Jack City back in 1991). This is a look at those rappers turned actors that are active in movies right now, and those that perhaps should or shouldn't be.

Who dugg this?

diggleague, on 05/14/2008, -0/+7Quality list, I also recently enjoyed RZA in American Gangster:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RZA#Acting_career
inactive, on 05/14/2008, -0/+4Wahlberg is SUCH A DORK! Will Smith is so annoying. Tyrese is a rapper? Ice-T was good in New Jack City. Ice Cube's been in some crap, but Friday was more of a classic than anything those "good" rappers have been in...

fun list anyways...
anderzole, on 05/14/2008, -0/+3Snoop is one of the worst actors I've ever seen. I'm surprised he even still gets cast, he doesn't even seem cool anymore
inactive, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2didn't see that, but I can't believe you got dugg down. RZA is probably the most underrated rapper.
jaobedoza, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2i still remember mark wahlberg from marky mark and the funky bunch
GalacticRerun, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2I know it says "movies right now" but it's a shame we never got to see more of Tupac He'd undoubtedly be near the top if he was still making flicks. His performances in Gridlock'd, Above the Rim, Juice and Poetic Justice were superb.
rlray216, on 05/14/2008, -1/+5Every one of these was right on the money, especially the inclusion of Ice T on the 10 worst list. He's terrible.
buddha1822, on 05/14/2008, -0/+350 Cent is easily the worst of the worst. He was absolutely painful to watch in Home of the Brave!
inactive, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Oh I had a blast reading that.
dozerdc, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2yeh...RZA wasn't half-bad in Derailed either. Might be cool to see more of him
SpectralSounds, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1My wife dragged me to that 50 cent movie, "Get Rich or Die Tryin". I thought it was a story about how he was a crappy rapper without any skills, who eventually got better. Turns out, he was supposed to be awesome throughout the whole movie. He is ***** horrible.
kjames00, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Both lists were pretty good...especially having 50 cent as the worst
Bukowsky, on 05/14/2008, -1/+2Common was a bad-ass in American Gangster!

lordtyros, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Method Man isn't half bad as an actor. He plays roles where he's basically portraying himself. And it works.
ostracize, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1What! No Tom Green?!
anderzole, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1my bum is on the swedish
