Yeah but he isnt a rapper in the same sense these guys are, especially since he doesnt curse or anything in his songs.

from that list Ice Cube wins. Ice T has some pretty decent acting skills, and his wife is HOT! lol

oh and whoever voted for DMX, you need to check out his "acting" skills in this video

Will Smith. I don't mind cursing. I just think it takes a little more imagination & skill not to curse.

I find it it ironic Ice-T made his fortune off songs like "cop killa" and is now making a fortune protraying one on law and order, i find him to be very belivable as an actor, Ice cube is great in comedies, and will smith, well he is awesome in both....

You can go back to your Will Smith vote, Mos Def was an actor before becoming a rapper. (although that could be debated seeing as how he gained stardom from his music before his acting)

y'all need to watch Juice again and tell me why no one said Tupac. Even in Poetic Justice he gave a great performance and that was only his second movie. he was a natural. Ice Cube was dope in Boyz n The Hood and Friday
