Rappers Turned Actors.....

Don't get me wrong....

I am ALL about people exploring their options in their career choice. You know...if you are a dog groomer...and you've always had a passion for event planning....so you decide to open up an event planning company for birthdays for dogs...that's awesome! Best Wishes! But please! please! please!...know what you are doing and perfect your craft so you can be the best dog birthday/event planner in the industry!

Where am I going with this...?

Okay...this whole rapper turned actor thing...! I think it is great! Expand your repertoire...learn more about yourself and the business while you’re at it...but if you have had little to no experience in the acting world...don't do it. Go get lessons for months or even years before you try to enter the acting realm.

So many times...people with no experience in acting get placed into a movie just because of their fame....not because of their acting experience and they add nothing to the film! It makes people walk away from the movie saying..."hmm....that would have been a GREAT movie except if...’so and so’ wasn't in it.."

Not everyone can be like Will Smith or Queen Latifah and Ice Cube. It takes acting classes....meditation...and many other tools to master the craft of acting and actually make a connection and lasting impression with the viewing audience. I feel that if a rapper wants to venture into the acting world they must be willing to not only silde through but master the acting classes they participate in so they will not be another....rapper turned actor failure.
