From Lyrics to Scripts — Musicians Who Became Actors
establish Gangsta Rap, with its violent, hardcore lyrics, has also turned in endearingly comic performances in films, but Ice Cube is one multitalented guy. Cube founded the rap group, N.W.A., and wrote half of the lyrics to their groundbreaking release, “Straight Outta Compton.” His first, critically acclaimed performance in the movie, “Boyz N the Hood,” led to roles in action films, and hits including “The Three Kings,” and the rollicking comedy, “Are We There Yet?” Cube also wrote and directed “The Players Club,” and wrote and starred in the three “Friday” movies. And he still manages to find time for his music!
These performers’ music, lyrics and movie roles have given audiences many ways to enjoy their talents — and many vehicles for their own turbo-charged creativity.
