What Rapper is the best actor on film?

[Verstyle]

LOL Ice-T can only play bad guys and cops. Every single movie or show.

And he's not that convincing either way..........

I like the guy though, seems like a fun guy to hang around, and he's DEFINITELY aware of his acting limitations, and producer limitations too. Check out the narrative track over "Corrupt" if you don't agree......

I think he's pretty convincing; to be on a white channel NBC( please don't take offense) and be taken seriously as a acting cop? That's huge. I'm sure a lot of ppl still know he used to be a pimp and a rapper saying fu(k the police. That's like Tom Cruise being a rapper rapping about the gospel of God and being taken serious on one of those church channels.

Best performance from anyone in this list I can think of is that of Mos Def in "Something the Lord Made".

mekhi phifer was an aspiring rapper who just caught a break in acting first (clockers).

beanie sigel and sticky fingaz are aight too, they deserve a mention more than alot of the ppl listed.

2Pac played a cop in Gang Related. Does that make him second?

I just think when they say "best Actor" you would want someone with range. Ice-T plays a badass cop or a badass bad guy. You'll never see him in a romantic comedy or a kids film like Ice Cube or playing a superhero like Will Smith or in a sci fi like Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy like Mos Def.

He'll keep playing Ice-T. You don't watch that show and say "look a cop" you say, "hey look it's Ice-T and he has a badge..." That show is known for crazy over the top storylines and acting anyway. Vincent D'Onofrio on Criminal Intent is a total ham..

Ludacris was the **** in Crash.

DMX was badass in Cradle 2 The Grave.

The Game was pretty good IMO in Waist Deep & Street Kings.

But I gotta say my favorite is Ice Cube in the Friday movies.

[CONCUBINE]

Will Smith.
He's in the $20 million club.
