I predict lots of posts hilariously mentioning mvoies that people haven't actually seen but are on the IMDB top 100 here!

Dom Passantino, Thursday, 28 June 2007 10:05 (eighteen years ago)

Mos Def!

Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 28 June 2007 10:06 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, no Mos Def? Pac, I guess. I liked Juice.

Anyone ever see the Vanilla Ice movie?

NickB, Thursday, 28 June 2007 10:14 (eighteen years ago)

MC Hammer's done a bit of acting.

Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 28 June 2007 10:16 (eighteen years ago)

Oh shit, sorry about forgetting Mos Def.

Tuomas, Thursday, 28 June 2007 10:19 (eighteen years ago)

mos def.

jed_, Thursday, 28 June 2007 10:36 (eighteen years ago)

Mos def

Ned Trifle II, Thursday, 28 June 2007 10:56 (eighteen years ago)

Mos Def was an actor before he was a rapper though, so DISQUALIFIED.

Dom Passantino, Thursday, 28 June 2007 10:57 (eighteen years ago)

Dre. fo shizzle.

Uptoeleven, Thursday, 28 June 2007 10:59 (eighteen years ago)

Toss-up between Mos Def, Queen Latifah and Will Smith.

HI DERE, Thursday, 28 June 2007 11:29 (eighteen years ago)

I've seen the Vanilla Ice movie. Awesome. I voted for Cube tho, he's the black Norman Wisdom.

Noodle Vague, Thursday, 28 June 2007 11:30 (eighteen years ago)

No LL Cool J? Anyway, I'm going to vote Ice Cube for Boyz N the Hood and Three Kings, conveniently ignoring his later career.

Billy Dods, Thursday, 28 June 2007 11:47 (eighteen years ago)

are you guys kidding??? this isn't even close

i still haven't seen "bullet" or "gang related", mainly because i'm scared to (mickey rourke's face! AAUUGGGHHH!!)

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 28 June 2007 12:18 (eighteen years ago)

With no Mos Def it has to go to Pac. He's like the James Dean of rap-actors.

what movie was that

marmotwolof, Thursday, 28 June 2007 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

u forgot T.I.(but Big boi was the best thing about ATL good looking out)
master p sez no hookup for you

tremendoid, Thursday, 28 June 2007 21:58 (eighteen years ago)

ok I'm guessing that SF pic is Blade: The Series, didn't know there was such a thing. Any good?

marmotwolof, Thursday, 28 June 2007 22:07 (eighteen years ago)

u forgot about The Game

milo z, Thursday, 28 June 2007 22:15 (eighteen years ago)

The Game is automatically disqualified for being The Game

gabbneb, Thursday, 28 June 2007 22:21 (eighteen years ago)

For worst I would like to mention Three 6 Mafia, who despite being one of my favorite rap groups made pretty much the most inept attempt at anything I've ever seen with Choices 2: The Setup. I haven't seen the first one, and only saw the sequel because the DVD came free with the soundtrack, but imagine a gang themed porno without any porn in it and that's about where the acting and production values are at.

marmotwolof, Thursday, 28 June 2007 22:42 (eighteen years ago)

Mos Def

Wrinklepaws, Thursday, 28 June 2007 23:08 (eighteen years ago)

R.I.P.

tremendoid, Thursday, 28 June 2007 23:21 (eighteen years ago)

I had to resist the urge to say Pacaveli.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 28 June 2007 23:21 (eighteen years ago)

Is There a Heaven for a G? We Believe.

tremendoid, Thursday, 28 June 2007 23:23 (eighteen years ago)

The only real answer to this is Kurupt.

John Justen, Thursday, 28 June 2007 23:26 (eighteen years ago)

I didn't know he acts too.

Tuomas, Saturday, 30 June 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, he certainly does.

John Justen, Saturday, 30 June 2007 14:59 (eighteen years ago)

TMNT2 and Da Hip Hop Witch and all that shit only counts as "Self" I guess

marmotwolof, Sunday, 1 July 2007 23:59 (eighteen years ago)

I didn't include Marky Mark 'cause that'd be kinda unfair
lol it would be totally 'fair' believe me

tremendoid, Monday, 2 July 2007 00:33 (eighteen years ago)

There are at least three movies Marky Mark totally rules in.

marmotwolof, Monday, 2 July 2007 00:46 (eighteen years ago)

I think the gist is that it isn't really fair to call him a rapper.

Oilyrags, Monday, 2 July 2007 00:51 (eighteen years ago)

duh but if tremendoid is arguing that he's not much of an actor or as good a rapper as any of those then uh...

marmotwolof, Monday, 2 July 2007 01:00 (eighteen years ago)

try his acting does not outclass the rest of the list by any stretch(ruling /=great acting but i'm totally on board with that, he's a hell of a star). depends on what tuomas means i guess

tremendoid, Monday, 2 July 2007 01:32 (eighteen years ago)

cube x 10 and fuck will smith

remy bean, Monday, 2 July 2007 02:28 (eighteen years ago)

i srsly think that cube would be fun to bro down w.

remy bean, Monday, 2 July 2007 02:28 (eighteen years ago)

wow he made a song for you dude, no lie! you guys should really make it happen.

i voted for Cube. he was in THREE KINGS! not to mention Predator ruled despite not being a movie

iiiijjjj, Monday, 2 July 2007 04:28 (eighteen years ago)

Gridlock'd.

Eazy, Monday, 2 July 2007 04:46 (eighteen years ago)

Though Tone Loc has a great scene in Heat.

And then the guy who said "I was Pookie too."

Eazy, Monday, 2 July 2007 04:47 (eighteen years ago)

I really hope Will Smith wins this.

Super Cub, Monday, 2 July 2007 04:56 (eighteen years ago)

I really, really need to see Three Kings all the way through. I've seen the other three Russell flicks.

marmotwolof, Monday, 2 July 2007 05:06 (eighteen years ago)

My heart belongs to LL Cool J (as it has done for the last 20 years).

Ice Cube was awesome in Triple X 2!

jel --, Monday, 2 July 2007 19:51 (eighteen years ago)

Ice-T could win for Surviving the Game alone.

Dan I., Monday, 2 July 2007 19:52 (eighteen years ago)

Uh, my hat is like a shark's fin

[1] - Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin

[Repeat 1 (5x)]

Manmade terror
Hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths
I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves
My world's deep blue
Killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but Barracudas ain't equal
To a half human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes baby they stare while you sleep
When your Titanic sinks I'm the one you gon' meet
Hearing terrified screams they surround my team
All you see is trails of blood
Even God won't intervene
Nightmares of darkness
My apetite is heartless
Even if we related, you eliminated regardless
In the deep blue, underwater walls
Half man, half shark
My jaws don't fall

[Repeat 1 (8x)]

Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Killers sworn to beast
Swallowed them in flames
They switched my DNA
Trip me into Cool J
I can't fight the feeling
I'm born to kill prey
To survive an attack
There's only one way
Battle to the death
That's how sharks play
Weapons left behind
We dueling with the mind
You blind, crippled, or crazy
You're real easy to find
Struggling to flow with hemorrhages in your throat
Getting the lap dance while I smash through your boat
Eat your whole fam
Nothing left but a right hand
Clinging to a rail
Escape, attempts fail
You'll never make it home
Tear the flesh off your bone
Walking in undercurrents is a dangerous zone
I'm talking death out a moment's notice
You wasn't focused
Me and my crew strike
Like some underwater locusts

[Repeat 1 (8x)]

Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper

These waters are waist level
The hallway's flooded
Lost your scuba gear
The killer's cold-blooded
His name's LL
You don't really want it
I ate your ancestors
The ocean is haunted
I'm closing in cause I'm supposed to win
How the cold steel feel when it froze your chin
Should of stayed on dry land
Stroke while you can
Cause now you under pressure in the land of the damned
Abandoned pirate ships
Eels and sod scum
Fish that glow in the dark
The Titanic's hub
Underwater storms
You're blood is so warm
You're life vest is off
And that turns me on
Killer for centuries
The Gotti of the deep
In the next millennium
I'm still gonna creep
Sand under my belly, ocean over my head
Through the light in the shadows
You become the living dead

[Repeat 1 (12x)]

Yeah, DBS

latebloomer, Monday, 2 July 2007 20:11 (eighteen years ago)

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 2 July 2007 23:14 (eighteen years ago)

No! Except for the Saul Bass opening credits. Walked out of that one halfway through.

Eazy, Monday, 2 July 2007 23:17 (eighteen years ago)

Is that the one where Fishburne does the fakest Jamaican patois ever? If so I remember it being ok until he started talking.

marmotwolof, Monday, 2 July 2007 23:19 (eighteen years ago)

HIGHER LEARNING IS MERCILESSLY FUCKING AWFUL.

John Justen, Monday, 2 July 2007 23:29 (eighteen years ago)
