Post by: Trauma-san on July 01, 2001, 03:39:35 AM: Cube Really Impressed Me In "Boyz N Tha Hood", I Think Any Movie Critic Would Say That He Gave A Great Performance In That.

He Was Also Good In Friday, Played A Great Comic Role (Kinda The Straight Man Of The Duo, In Tha Tradition Of Abbot And Costello).

He AGAIN Was Pretty Good In "3 Kings", He Had A Decent Part, And I Think He Portrayed The Role Skillfully.

Cube Had A Part In "Anaconda", And Although The Movie Wasn't That Great, His Acting Skills Were Nice, Again.

In The Players Club, Cube Played Kinda A Punk, But Again, It Was Well Acted.

I'd Say That Cube's Had Plenty Of Opportunities To Show That He Actually Has Acting Talent.

Tray Deee Was Decent In The Eastsidaz, Too. I Think He Outshined Everybody Else In The Movie.

That's not the reason at all...It's because he didn't wan't to potray that Black sterio type thing anymore...He didn't wan't to act as Smokey because he thought it was wrong to potray a sterio type that black people only Sit on their asses and smoke weed all day...That's why he didn't do "Next Friday"...Has nothing to do with the $..

Post by: Sikotic™ on July 01, 2001, 12:58:17 PM: Aiight, but still if he didn't blow up and get all famous he would of taken the role of Smokey again in a heart beat.
Title: Re: R.A.P & A.C.T
Post by: AlerG on July 01, 2001, 03:39:02 PM: i can't wait for Rush Hour 2...why isn't Tucker in more movies, it seems like he's only in a movie like every 2 years and that is a damn shame, let me know, peace.

Fuck!!!!!! I cannot believe I didn't realize and recognize it was Ice-Cube playin tha part in anaconda,....fuck.

Yeah, I can't believe you didnt know that was Ice Cube... he has those 3 dots next to his eye, he's wearing an LA hat, and he's playin MACK 10's "Fo' Life" song.... you must not be a big fan.

I agree with RUSS... "Higher Learning" was coo'.... actually almost every movie Ice Cube is in is pretty tight...

Oh! And it was coo' seeing WC on "Set It Off"... with Queen Latifah, who was also used to rap, She aint a bad actor actually.
Title: Re: R.A.P & A.C.T
Post by: Don Seer on July 02, 2001, 10:52:05 AM: WC in 'set it off' ... where?

i saw Dre
Title: Re: R.A.P & A.C.T
Post by: Cliftone_Santiago_909 on July 02, 2001, 11:57:57 AM: He's the guy in the beginning.... he robs the bank.... Vivica A Fox workds at the bank and she recognizes him from the 'Hood... I think his name is Tyrone.... I aint too sure about that though... I can't really remember...

I didn't really know who WC was back then.... I just knew him as "the guy with the beard"... that's how I knew it was him... he has those 3 lil braids comin' out his chin.

I haven't seen that movie in a long ass time though.... I even forgot it was Dre who hooked them up with tha guns till now when I read your post

Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on July 02, 2001, 01:04:35 PM: Are you talking about "Gangsta Shit"?
Title: Re: R.A.P & A.C.T
Post by: Cliftone_Santiago_909 on July 02, 2001, 01:17:14 PM: No.... I think he's talkin about this movie called "The Plague Season".... it has something to do with tha LAPD.. it's with Kurt Russel
Title: Re: R.A.P & A.C.T

Post by: Sikotic™ on July 02, 2001, 02:15:02 PM: Oh yeah I forgot about The Gangsta Shit too. I haven't sen it though. I don't even know if it was released yet.

But I was talking about the Plague Season. He has a starring role I think. Its definitely major.

I doubt he has a starring role... Kurt Russel and Ving Rimes (aint sure how you spell his last name) are on it.... I bet they got bigger parts than Kurupt.

It's supposed to be a movie about an LAPD murder investigation..... I bet Kurupt has a lil part, Probably playz an LA gang member who they question or something like that...... I dont know though.... that's just what I imagine.

Title: Re: R.A.P & A.C.T
Post by: Sikotic™ on July 02, 2001, 10:41:42 PM: I saw an article about it and it said he is playing one of the main roles. It also said it is suppose to be about the riots or somethin. I guess we will find out when the movie comes out.
Title: Re: R.A.P & A.C.T
Post by: Cliftone_Santiago_909 on July 02, 2001, 11:47:09 PM: Oh, well that would be real cool if they gave him a big part.... I just wasn't expectin it becuz of it being his Acting Debut and all....
