Top 10 Rappers Turned Actors, Ranked
The list of rappers turned actors runs deeper than most people realize, and it’s not all Will Smith — though obviously he’s on the list, and he’s not even necessarily at the top right away.
Chris and Dex are back from a break to rank ten of them, from the obvious picks to a few that don’t get nearly enough credit for what they pulled off on screen. The argument starts early and never really lets up.
Who makes the cut
- Master P kicking off the list with I Got the Hook-Up, Common’s Barbershop run, and Ludacris in the Fast & Furious lane.
- Mark Wahlberg (whose acting career outweighs his Marky Mark catalog), Queen Latifah getting the Set It Off nod, and LL Cool J in the conversation.
- Method Man, Ice Cube near the top, and 2Pac at number two before Will Smith takes number one on Fresh Prince and Bel-Air strength alone.
Seven minutes of debate-bait — your favorite rapper is probably ranked too low, and that’s part of the fun of running this exact format.
