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.

- socivitus, on 05/13/2008, -2/+1You would never think Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg were rappers because they are such great actors. Great list, thanks for sharing.
- diggleague, on 05/14/2008, -0/+7Quality list, I also recently enjoyed RZA in American Gangster:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RZA#Acting_career- suzywang3000, 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
- suzywang3000, 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- kjames00, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Both lists were pretty good...especially having 50 cent as the worst
- jaobedoza, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2i still remember mark wahlberg from marky mark and the funky bunch

Andre > * - 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.
- suzywang3000, 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
- Bukowsky, on 05/14/2008, -1/+2Common was a bad-ass in American Gangster!
- ostracize, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1What! No Tom Green?!
- anderzole, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1my bum is on the swedish
- Aldhelm, on 05/14/2008, -0/+0Mother ***** crack addicts.
- authorNYSE, on 05/15/2008, -0/+0Tyreese is NOT a rapper! Where's Romany Malco (40 Year old Virgin, Weeds)on this list of best rappers turned actors?
