A lot of rappers have been starring in movies lately, and I was wonderin if anybody knew some good movies starring a rapper/hip-hop artist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

btw...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I already saw Starsky and Hutch (Snoop Dogg)

Well if you count Will Smith as a rapper..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hitch

50 Cent is making his acting debue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forget the name of the movie, being filmed in Toronto I believe.

Ice Cube has been in a few big films: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001084/

 

 

 

Friday/Next Friday/Friday after Friday

 

 

 

Torque

 

 

 

XXX 2

 

 

 

Anaconda

 

 

 

3 Kings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eminem was in 8 Mile, obviously :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Xxzibit was in 8 Mile as well as XXX 2

Bar the odd exception, you don't usually get 'good movies with rappers'. Well you do, just that their inclusion ruins that particular scene.

The only rappers I can think of that are/were any good were actors before they were rappers.

 

 

 

Like, Will Smith and Mos Def..

That is just your own view though. I quite enjoyed movies which have had rappers in them. For example 8 mile and Friday and if you include Will Smith to be a rap/hip hop artist then I could go on all day with the great movies he has been in.

I've heard a lot of great reviews about a few movies wit 2pac in them (Poetic Justice, Juice, Above the Rim)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't get a copy of any of those tho... :cry:

Can get all 3 of them in Virgin, I did anyway. :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soul plane is quite a good film if you like that kind of comedy, that has Snoop Dogg and Method Man in it. How High is also a good comedy with Method Man and Redman. Training Day has Snoop Dogg in it aswell. Ja Rule was in fast and the furious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can't think of anymore that haven't already been said at the moment.

Isn't Dr. Dre in Training Day too?

get them in virgin??

L.L Cool J was in a few movies... Halloween H20 and Deep Blue Sea (Not sure about any else). I like Deep Blue Sea.

That movie with DMX in it where hes a drug dealer is just wrong in every way possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think it's called never die alone.

I almost rented Gang Related (tupac)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it looked very good, has anybody seen it?

Yeh, It's worth renting. Although my favorite Tupac movies is "Juice."

DMX is also in Exit Wounds with Steven Segal.

Isn't Dr. Dre in Training Day too?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yup, he sure is. Training Day is one of my favourite films of all time, i'd highly recommend it.

I recently saw 'Be Cool' at the cinema, it had Andre 3000 from outkast in it. He is really funny, acts like an unsmooth gangster all the time lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, i thought that movie was real good, ya'll should watch it.

Ice-T has been playing in Law & Order SVU for quite a while now, hasn't he?

old skool boys old skool

 

 

 

u cant forget all 2pac's movies!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

long live tupac!!!!

The Wash - Rubbish film - Got like Snoop/eminem/Dr. Dre etc i think :?

Yeah for sure but I wouldn't call Will Smith a rapper, I'd call him an entertainer. Probably the same with Eminem and maybe DMX, but not at the same level as the Fresh Prince.

Will Smith is actually a good actor and isn't one of those "look at me bling i'm better than you" kind of rappers, he's one of the few that I respect for being in the acting scene. LL Cool J isn't bad either, but the likes of 50 cent moving into the acting scene makes me sick to my stomach :(

Exactly I feel the exact same way. I mean, "Fiddy" isn't even good at rapping.

 

 

 

"She loves me like the fat kid loves cake" - Thanks mate...stick to your day job please?

Oh how could i forget - Boyz 'N' the hood. Possibly the best ghetto film ever, and Ice Cube is in it.
