Well, the guys you mentioned are actors, that’s their job.
I’m not sayin’ he’s for sure not playing dumb [there's no way I can unquestionably know that being an outsider], but I’m jus’ sayin’ …
He had no reason whatsoever to portray a role on a 106 & Park interview …
Even if he’s an entertainer … He can very well answer some questions and after that drop the album, which is his piece of entertainment …

There’s a reason why 50′s film career hasn’t exactly taken off.
He keeps trying to play against type instead of finding roles that’ll allow him to channel his inner villain.
Dame should find a role for 50 in that C.R.E.A.M. movie cause he’s yet to fully embrace the bad guy role that he plays in real life.
October 6th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
i cant reiterate strongly enough, how terrible Common is as an actor…
Just Wright COULD have been an ill flick…
but Lonnie was laughably horrible… same with Date Night… same with Shooting Aces
October 6th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
” cause thats what rappers do best … act like thugs and pimps and drug dealers and tough guys… so their transition into movies is seamless.. ”
Overstood, but don’t you think that hability is caught on by the people behind the scenes because mainly of their music and the interpretation of it on music videos ?
I mean, directors done said Ludacris looked like he could be an actor because of his music videos.
And, if we’re talkin’ music, in some way it could be interpretated like that.
But than I’ll again refer you to the interview … No reason there. Whatsoever.
