Ok we have seen the thread about the worst performance by a hip hop artist in a movie, so who would be the best?
I'd say Mos Def in Monsters Ball and Ice Cube in Boyz N Tha Hood.
-
2Pac in Juice & Poetic Justice and Ice Cube in Boyz N Tha Hood.
-
definatley cube..
< Boyz in da hood
< Friday, Next Friday, Friday after next..
< All about the benjammins
id say cube is by far the best cross'over rapper / actor

yessir! that movie when he played a panter/college stundent or whatever was the bizness too
-
Ice Cube and Mos Def are easily the best actors/rappers, but I was impressed with Ludacris in "Crash". He did a solid job in that movie.
-
I'm going to go with Ice Cube followed closely by 2Pac. Pac probably would have beat him if he had been in more movies. I think acting is a place where you have to show your range and Ice Cube has pretty much done every genre and really has done a good job in it. Comedy - Friday Movies, Drama - 3 Kings, Action - XXX, Horror - Anaconda. Etc.
LL Cool J is an alright actor but doesn't seem to try anything different. Usually plays the same type of role in all his movies. Also, anybody ever realize the dude never dies in a movie. I mean I think he's the only one to survive a Halloween movie.
-
Cube & Mos Def, yeah
-
mos def>all other rappers-turned-actors. he can actually act..
-
i think yall r being biased towards cube....he doesnt come close to mos def.....but if will smith counts then he;s the best....ll cool j is good too
will smith > mos def > ll cool j > ice cube
peace

1.Will Smith
2.Ice Cube
3.Pac(he would of been a great actor if he was still alive)

^yea pac did a great job in juice and poetic justice. Ice cube was mad tight in boyz in da hood and will smith I feel he is one of the most natural talented rappers/actors. I will also add mos def to that list.
-
i see Will Smith as an actor trying to rap, rather than vice versa. He´s in another league IMO

same. but then again. he used to rap before his acting things right?
-
whoever said ice cube is an overrated actor is on something....he's done some crap like "are we there yet" but he can definately bring the drama.
as far as best rapper/actor goes.....i think i got to go with Pac. Mos Def overacts, ice cube you can catch him slippin, will smith gets close some times but comes off corny when he's emotional, but i dunno pac....it just looks real
-
Ice Cube is an great actor.
Tray Deee was tight in "Tha Eastsidaz".
Dre wasn't so bad in "Training Day", he can act.
-
in my opinion you guys are overrating ice cube a little bit. he is a good actor with a shit load of charisma, but if you notice even though hes in all types movies, hes mostly give or take the same character. hes the likeable, hard, not quite thug but almost, with a dry sense of humor.
will smith is one of the better actors in hollywood, dude steals scenes like its his job and he can go from funny to serious at the stop of a dime. if you ever watched fresh prince when they would get serious, he gets emotional better then just about anyone in the biz.

Will started to rap before he was an actor....

I dont know if its gay for actually seeing this movie but Mos Def did a great job in "Carmen: A Hip Hopera"
-
Ice T does a really good job in his Law And Order Show
Luda in Crash
-
i'ma go with will smith....he was a rapper first and this year released another rap album....
-
Mos Def in Monsters Ball was the best rapper role, but the best rapper in a movie is definetly Ice Cube.
-
tupac in juice
ice cube in boyz n the hood
cam'ron in paid in full
mos def in monster's ball & that hbo movie (can't think of the name of it)
-
Luda in Crash & LL in In Too Deep.
-
Luda in Crash & LL in In Too Deep.
Ice cube in boyz in the hood comes before them but they were great in them movies. Also Mc ehit made me laugh as A-wax in menace 2 society, wouldnt say hes one of the best tho.
-
ice cube in Boyz In The Hood and in Friday movies..
-
I'll go with Mos Def and Cube. Cube's movies have gone both ways though - there's the ones where's he's good (Boyz n tha Hood, Friday, Three Kings, Barbershop) and then there's the ones where he (and everything else) sucks (Anaconda, Ghosts of Mars).
I've only seen one of Pac's movies, he was real good in it. Can't remember the flicks name though...
