Eminem definitely showed acting talent in 8 Mile, I don't care what anyone says...he even was praised by all the big time movie reviewers, and he's recently had a shitload of scripts to read, he's trying to pick the best one for him...but he's just a rapper with no talent, right Chowda lol. Then there's Ice Cube, but I consider him an actor rather a than musician anyway...same thing with Ice T. DMX has been in a good amount of movies, so obviously some talent there. And Tupac was a very well received actor at his time. And come on, Snoop's just the man, he can do whatever he wants.

Then, you can also say Will Smith and Mark Walhberg...and that definitely turned out for the better...two of the best actors ever right there. And after last night, you gotta add Jennifer Hudson.

So I guess....yeah it's unfair, but if the talent is there, it's there. And if not...you'll only get one shot for marketing purposes, and you can stick to your million dollar day job anyway lol.
Touché.
