Top 10 Rappers Turned Actors

From the Stage to the Big Screen

1. Tupac: The number one spot goes to Tupac. Tupac was a different type of actor because he actually lived out the roles that he played. Movies like Juice, Above the Rim and Poetic Justice all showed Tupac for the man he really was. The roles he played on the screen where so identical to the music he put out. Watching him on film was like watching a soundtrack to his life as it showed all his talents. Other films like Gang Related and Gridlock'd showed his ability to switch characters but still maintain the sense of who he was. It's clear that almost every director wanted to work with him as he had a list of scripts piled up to be answered even after his death.
