Speaker:

This is Hip Hop Movie Club, the show for serious hip hop fans who want to deepen their

cultural knowledge.

2

00:00:07,041 --> 00:00:14,958

We've watched over 75 hip hop themed films, and in this episode, we will talk about some

of the most notable rappers turned actors.

3

00:00:15,958 --> 00:00:23,083

We've spoken about our Mount Rushmore of actor turn rappers at live events and on previous

podcast episodes.

4

00:00:23,125 --> 00:00:28,125

And that's comprised of Will Smith, Queen Latifah, Tupac and Ice Cube.

5

00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:31,541

Today, let's dive into that next tier beneath that.

6

00:00:31,541 --> 00:00:34,250

And there are some powerhouses here as well.

7

00:00:34,250 --> 00:00:42,416

Folks like Ice T, LL Cool J, Ludacris, Donald Glover slash Childish Gambino, who actually

did it in reverse.

8

00:00:42,416 --> 00:00:44,166

He was an actor first.

9

00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:46,916

Common, Yasiin Bey, Method Man.

10

00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:48,708

Do we include Mark Wahlberg?

11

00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:50,458

Well, yes, yes we do.

12

00:00:53,333 --> 00:01:00,750

Much better acting career than a rapping career, but Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch was a

thing for a bit.

13

00:01:00,750 --> 00:01:03,750

Two albums we uncovered, they actually had two albums somehow.

14

00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:06,500

God save the Queen.

15

00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:12,125

But some of these, rappers turned to actors, just massive careers.

16

00:01:12,291 --> 00:01:18,125

And I always think back how we talk about the origins of hip hop, how it was regionalized

in the South Bronx.

17

00:01:18,125 --> 00:01:25,583

And who would know that it would yield such megastars that would be box office sensations.

18

00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:29,208

are some your favorites out of the next tier?

19

00:01:29,208 --> 00:01:29,583

tier?

20

00:01:29,583 --> 00:01:31,750

I mean, definitely LL.

21

00:01:32,625 --> 00:01:34,583

He's like on a cusp.

22

00:01:34,583 --> 00:01:39,125

He could easily be in Mount Rushmore on any given day.

23

00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:41,458

Who would you swap with him?

24

00:01:41,458 --> 00:01:45,250

yeah, and Ice-T is a powerhouse.

25

00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:52,083

I mean, he's been playing a lot of cops and detectives, but he's been pretty believable in

those roles.

26

00:01:52,083 --> 00:01:55,583

mean, Common is one of my favorites.

27

00:01:55,583 --> 00:01:59,250

mentioned Yasiin Bey He's got a comedic twist.

28

00:01:59,250 --> 00:02:01,541

I've seen him do amazing things.

29

00:02:01,541 --> 00:02:03,583

And of course, you everybody knows Method Man.

30

00:02:03,583 --> 00:02:06,666

He's in movies and shows.

31

00:02:06,666 --> 00:02:10,500

Luda mean, part of Vin Diesel's family.

32

00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:16,375

So, he's got one more.

33

00:02:16,375 --> 00:02:17,916

He's got one more that's got to come up.

34

00:02:17,916 --> 00:02:20,041

I think it's coming out next year.

35

00:02:20,708 --> 00:02:22,875

So we'll see what happens.

36

00:02:23,291 --> 00:02:23,791

Yeah.

37

00:02:23,791 --> 00:02:31,250

Yeah, mean, LL Cool J's got that special charisma you knew from when he was first on the

scene in Krush Groove.

38

00:02:31,375 --> 00:02:32,541

I mean, he's just so talented.

39

00:02:32,541 --> 00:02:34,208

He's hosted multiple award shows.

40

00:02:34,208 --> 00:02:36,333

We did a deep dive into LL Cool J.

41

00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:43,458

He's just tremendous in all of his work as a TV star and movie star.

42

00:02:44,291 --> 00:02:47,333

The funny thing with Ice-T playing the cop is, know, Cop Killer.

43

00:02:48,208 --> 00:02:51,333

You know, was his big controversial song.

44

00:02:51,333 --> 00:02:56,625

then, you know, now he's like one of the top cops of all time on TV.

45

00:02:57,125 --> 00:02:58,000

Yes.

46

00:02:58,750 --> 00:03:01,583

but these ones some of more recognizable.

47

00:03:01,583 --> 00:03:07,791

You also see a lot of actors actresses that were rappers, like these smaller roles.

48

00:03:07,833 --> 00:03:14,833

have a crew that maybe just appeared in one movie and just totally knocked out of the

park, like the Fat Boys and Disorderlies.

49

00:03:14,833 --> 00:03:16,916

I'd be remiss if we didn't just mention them.

50

00:03:16,916 --> 00:03:22,583

I mean, they didn't have a long acting career, but they were like that Three Stooges type

comedy.

51

00:03:22,583 --> 00:03:23,208

Yeah.

52

00:03:23,208 --> 00:03:23,916

Yeah.

53

00:03:23,916 --> 00:03:28,583

And even, um, our guy, Daryl Chill from House Party.

54

00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:29,833

He's a legit actor now too.

55

00:03:29,833 --> 00:03:32,500

Like he's always doing roles, you know.

56

00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:35,583

Yeah, mean, kid and play themselves, right?

57

00:03:35,833 --> 00:03:37,125

Kid and play as well.

58

00:03:37,125 --> 00:03:38,791

they had a decent run.

59

00:03:38,875 --> 00:03:41,958

The house party franchise and class act.

60

00:03:42,375 --> 00:03:43,708

Class Act, yes.

61

00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:51,250

Yeah, so you got to have to mention Eminem just because of the biopic 8 Mile.

62

00:03:51,250 --> 00:03:52,625

I mean, he did a tremendous job.

63

00:03:52,625 --> 00:03:55,916

He didn't really have much acting experience in that role of B-Rabbit.

64

00:03:55,916 --> 00:03:58,333

It's just off the charts.

65

00:03:59,041 --> 00:04:01,208

He really didn't do that much.

66

00:04:02,291 --> 00:04:04,625

At least acting wise in feature films.

67

00:04:04,625 --> 00:04:06,541

think he was in Funny People.

68

00:04:06,541 --> 00:04:09,291

was uncredited in The Interview.

69

00:04:09,291 --> 00:04:10,625

And that's kind of it.

70

00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:11,916

He didn't need to.

71

00:04:11,958 --> 00:04:15,208

Yeah, the role in 8 Mile kind of knocked it out of the park.

72

00:04:15,916 --> 00:04:18,041

Yeah, you wouldn't have to do anything else after that.

73

00:04:18,041 --> 00:04:18,583

Yeah.

74

00:04:18,583 --> 00:04:29,791

And, um, you know, we, we have a bit of an old school bias just because of our age, but

we've seen films with like Lil Yachty and, and I know Kendrick Lamar has been obviously,

75

00:04:29,791 --> 00:04:33,750

you know, he did the whole soundtrack for Black Panther

76

00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:44,541

But definitely, being a rapper these days would be a huge launching pad for your, acting

career and we didn't even mention Snoop Dogg, like Soul Plane and multiple others,

77

00:04:45,375 --> 00:04:54,291

We mentioned Method Man, but Redman collabed with him, How High and other silly movies, buddy films.

78

00:04:54,625 --> 00:05:05,875

Yeah, I mean, just, I would just take it back to some of the versatility of the roles that

we've seen, personally, LL Cool J and like, we've seen them, you know, we've seen them in

79

00:05:05,875 --> 00:05:12,875

horror movies, from the Halloween franchise and oh just that Deep Blue Sea with the

sharks.

80

00:05:12,875 --> 00:05:19,708

And we've seen them in, you know, funny movies, know, Last Holiday, Deliver Us from Eva,

oh like.

81

00:05:19,708 --> 00:05:20,625

from Eva.

82

00:05:20,791 --> 00:05:28,375

Yeah, he's pretty versatile, know, like you said, the kind of shines through when he's on

camera.

83

00:05:28,375 --> 00:05:31,583

So, you know, he's been pretty good in those roles.

84

00:05:31,583 --> 00:05:34,166

And the same, can say this, I actually can say the same for Common.

85

00:05:34,166 --> 00:05:36,000

Like, he's played different roles.

86

00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,750

I've seen him play, you know, serious roles.

87

00:05:37,750 --> 00:05:39,916

He's popped up in like the John Wick franchise.

88

00:05:39,916 --> 00:05:42,500

He was in Wanted, Just Right, you know.

89

00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:48,833

Same with Yasiin Bey I've seen Yasiin Bey actually singing songs like Lackawanna Blues.

90

00:05:49,041 --> 00:05:51,041

He was actually singing.

91

00:05:51,625 --> 00:05:54,125

He was like a Cab Calloway type character.

92

00:05:54,125 --> 00:05:56,250

Like singing and dancing and performing on stage.

93

00:05:56,250 --> 00:05:57,875

I'm like, wow, this guy's pretty good.

94

00:05:57,875 --> 00:06:01,416

And he plays one of my favorite characters in Brown Sugar.

95

00:06:01,916 --> 00:06:03,666

Cavvie I loved him in that movie.

96

00:06:03,666 --> 00:06:05,250

He was absolutely great.

97

00:06:05,666 --> 00:06:07,333

He was very realistic.

98

00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:09,958

Just a struggling rapper that's trying to make it.

99

00:06:10,083 --> 00:06:12,916

He doesn't want to sell out and go commercial.

100

00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:19,166

He's got some humorous moments, humorous dialogue between him and Taye Diggs' character.

101

00:06:19,166 --> 00:06:20,500

Very charismatic.

102

00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:23,500

I actually see him play in another movie too.

103

00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:24,541

I'm trying to think of the name of the movie.

104

00:06:24,541 --> 00:06:26,458

I think it's something the Lord made.

105

00:06:27,125 --> 00:06:34,083

Yes, he played a assistant to a doctor who was working in the hospital and was doing

surgeries.

106

00:06:34,083 --> 00:06:35,541

And he was actually...

107

00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:39,916

doing a lot of the work, but he was getting the credit because of the timeframe that it

was taking place.

108

00:06:39,916 --> 00:06:45,750

He wasn't really getting any credit for his work, but he was really good in that movie.

109

00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:50,833

That was a straight, it was like a docu-drama type movie, he was good.

110

00:06:50,833 --> 00:06:52,666

Mark Wahlberg.

111

00:06:52,666 --> 00:06:53,541

Yeah.

112

00:06:55,541 --> 00:06:59,125

acting career has definitely outshined rap career.

113

00:06:59,125 --> 00:07:04,541

He's had a movie on Netflix that just came out last week or something like that.

114

00:07:04,916 --> 00:07:11,208

He's these places, plays cops, bounty hunters, action movies, he's doing it all.

115

00:07:11,208 --> 00:07:16,541

I feel like a lot of times when I see him playing a role, he's playing himself because it

comes to...

116

00:07:16,541 --> 00:07:19,416

It's so hard, it comes across the same way.

117

00:07:19,416 --> 00:07:21,666

I'm like, he's probably playing himself.

118

00:07:21,875 --> 00:07:25,041

playing himself that's playing a cop.

119

00:07:25,958 --> 00:07:26,875

Yeah.

120

00:07:27,625 --> 00:07:29,333

But I enjoy them.

121

00:07:30,291 --> 00:07:38,291

the comedy is like Ted, but then, yeah, a lot of times he's playing a cop or a fugitive or

something like that.

122

00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:40,541

That fits his type cast.

123

00:07:40,541 --> 00:07:45,750

But remember he played uh Vince Papale in Invincible and DynoWright and I are in Eagles

fans.

124

00:07:45,750 --> 00:07:50,666

So that was a good role where he was a, yeah, that was a great movie.

125

00:07:51,458 --> 00:07:53,708

That's right, Vince Papale yes.

126

00:07:53,916 --> 00:07:56,750

Yeah, he's super versatile in acting.

127

00:07:56,750 --> 00:07:58,625

But so it is easy.

128

00:07:58,625 --> 00:08:09,625

I don't say the easy transition, it's, you know, especially when you're a rapper, you make

a lot of music videos and you have to have that stage presence and you gain popularity

129

00:08:09,625 --> 00:08:10,166

that way.

130

00:08:10,166 --> 00:08:11,833

So it's sometimes easy transition.

131

00:08:11,833 --> 00:08:16,000

But on the flip side, just because you are rapper does not mean you should make movies.

132

00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000

We saw that with State Property.

133

00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,541

Hahaha!

134

00:08:18,541 --> 00:08:19,875

uh

135

00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:24,458

Beanie Sigel And if you listen back to our episode, we're like, what did I just see?

136

00:08:24,458 --> 00:08:30,666

It was just like a killing spree with not a lot of plot, no character development.

137

00:08:30,666 --> 00:08:32,625

It was just like, what is going on here?

138

00:08:32,625 --> 00:08:35,833

We just want to watch a massacre of sorts.

139

00:08:36,083 --> 00:08:36,833

Yeah.

140

00:08:38,208 --> 00:08:40,333

Yeah, I said that with I got the hookup too.

141

00:08:40,333 --> 00:08:41,166

Yeah.

142

00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,666

At least I got the hookup is a comedy.

143

00:08:44,666 --> 00:08:46,083

You it's a comedy.

144

00:08:46,083 --> 00:08:51,750

like, you'll get little glimpses of, you know, silliness and things like that.

145

00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:52,125

Right.

146

00:08:52,125 --> 00:08:52,708

But

147

00:08:52,708 --> 00:08:53,833

Yeah.

148

00:08:53,833 --> 00:08:56,958

Yeah, yeah, state property was just, yeah, that was just raw.

149

00:08:56,958 --> 00:08:57,875

What?

150

00:08:58,250 --> 00:09:01,666

Definitely on the opposite spectrum of great cinema.

151

00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:03,416

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

152

00:09:03,791 --> 00:09:10,416

Yeah, but there's no shortage of quality actors and actresses that started out as rappers.

153

00:09:11,291 --> 00:09:19,541

We haven't really talked about many women besides Queen Latifah, but MC Lyte, Eve, they've

had some work.

154

00:09:20,791 --> 00:09:24,083

yeah, Eve has popped up in the Barbershop movies.

155

00:09:24,083 --> 00:09:25,583

She actually had the show.

156

00:09:26,333 --> 00:09:27,125

Yeah.

157

00:09:27,125 --> 00:09:27,583

Yep. Nicki Minaj.

158

00:09:27,583 --> 00:09:32,125

eh Yeah, she's popped up with some stuff.

159

00:09:32,125 --> 00:09:36,750

yet Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Rah Digga’s popped up in stuff.

160

00:09:36,750 --> 00:09:42,541

More can be done to uplift the women rappers who turn actors, actresses.

161

00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,625

Yeah, we need more of them.

162

00:09:45,791 --> 00:09:59,291

And I wouldn't call Lin-Manuel Miranda a rapper, but I have to mention Hamilton because it was just so revolutionary to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton entirely through hip hop

163

00:09:59,958 --> 00:10:03,500

and other songs, but mostly hip hop and some R&B.

164

00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:07,291

you know, he and Daveed Diggs and the rest of that crew.

165

00:10:07,833 --> 00:10:08,875

Leslie Odom, Jr.

They were phenomenal.

166

00:10:10,333 --> 00:10:13,708

I mean, just insanely talented, right?

167

00:10:13,708 --> 00:10:17,000

And I know Daveed Diggs has his own rapping group.

168

00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,541

And so he's done some solo work as well.

169

00:10:19,541 --> 00:10:22,375

So yeah, you can see the parallels between the two.

170

00:10:22,666 --> 00:10:33,250

I don't think, I think this trend is just going to keep continuing because again, similar,

talent skills, charisma is needed for both.

171

00:10:34,708 --> 00:10:43,500

And, um, I almost feel like the sometimes actor wants to be rapper, rapper wants to be an

actor because back in the day when you your music video, right?

172

00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:49,458

It's kind of like you always think basketball players, like they want to be rappers,

rappers want to be basketball players, basketball players want to be rappers.

173

00:10:49,458 --> 00:10:50,416

And so.

174

00:10:50,541 --> 00:10:51,916

Why you don't have rings?

175

00:10:51,916 --> 00:10:52,333

Exactly.

176

00:10:52,333 --> 00:10:53,625

We'll do the other thing.

177

00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:59,041

add something to your tool belt and be more well-versed, right?

178

00:10:59,041 --> 00:11:07,166

Man, I remember hearing a rumor years ago, and I wish it would have actually come to

fruition, oh revolving around Cardi B.

179

00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:11,666

oh they wanted to reboot the nanny and have her play Fran Drescher's daughter.

180

00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,041

And I was like, my God, that would be so funny.

181

00:11:16,875 --> 00:11:19,291

I would have watched the heck out of that.

182

00:11:20,291 --> 00:11:25,208

I'm like, hey, y'all still thinking about that, y'all need to make that happen.

183

00:11:25,708 --> 00:11:26,708

Make it happen.

184

00:11:26,708 --> 00:11:27,375

ASAP set.

185

00:11:27,375 --> 00:11:31,666

Oh man, I would crack up listening to her just rambling around.

186

00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:35,458

And I know this is not meant to be an entirely comprehensive list.

187

00:11:35,458 --> 00:11:47,000

This is just some of our other, you know, takes on some of these folks, but, know, like

the late DMX was in Belly because Belly was such a great film The cinematography there and

188

00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,041

Nas was in it as well.

189

00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:51,458

So Nas had had some roles in a few movies also.

190

00:11:52,041 --> 00:11:53,958

And they were both really good in Belly.

191

00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,708

I think we even said this in our episode.

192

00:11:55,708 --> 00:11:59,291

We should have seen more from them from an acting standpoint.

193

00:11:59,291 --> 00:12:01,000

And we wish they had done more.

194

00:12:02,041 --> 00:12:08,375

DMX popped up in a few movies, but yeah, we didn't get enough of Nas.

195

00:12:08,875 --> 00:12:14,958

We probably wish we could have gotten more DMX before, you know, before he left us, but

yeah.

196

00:12:14,958 --> 00:12:22,958

Yeah, if you scroll through Nas's filmography, mostly most are the videos of course, but

really there wasn't that many movies.

197

00:12:23,250 --> 00:12:26,708

And I he wanted to, he probably could have gotten a lot more.

198

00:12:27,041 --> 00:12:28,166

absolutely.

199

00:12:28,583 --> 00:12:29,958

Was it John Q.?

200

00:12:30,125 --> 00:12:31,375

How 'bout that.

201

00:12:31,833 --> 00:12:32,958

I haven't seen John Q.

202

00:12:32,958 --> 00:12:34,958

And John Q was actually on cable right now too.

203

00:12:34,958 --> 00:12:36,791

I haven't seen it in so long.

204

00:12:36,875 --> 00:12:38,458

almost forgot he was in it.

205

00:12:38,458 --> 00:12:39,541

Mm-hmm.

206

00:12:39,541 --> 00:12:40,041

Yeah.

207

00:12:40,041 --> 00:12:43,208

You know, we've seen Cam'Ron in some films that we covered as well.

208

00:12:43,666 --> 00:12:50,166

Like some of these guys, when they're like at the peak of their popularity, that's when

you want to cash in on making those films.

209

00:12:50,583 --> 00:12:52,125

It becomes part of your legacy.

210

00:12:53,333 --> 00:12:58,541

I'm almost remiss to mention good folks down from the ATL.

211

00:12:58,958 --> 00:13:10,500

know, TI, Andre Three Stacks, know, Big Boi, All three of them have popped up in multiple

films, television shows, appearances, et cetera.

212

00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:11,250

Definitely.

213

00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:13,583

I've liked TI in anything he's done.

214

00:13:14,125 --> 00:13:15,291

ATL was really good.

215

00:13:15,291 --> 00:13:21,083

Even that series with Kelsey Grammer called Boss, he was really good at that.

216

00:13:21,083 --> 00:13:24,041

One of the few good things.

217

00:13:24,166 --> 00:13:25,791

So yeah, TI.

218

00:13:26,291 --> 00:13:27,666

Popped up in the Ant-Man franchise.

219

00:13:27,666 --> 00:13:31,208

Got some of that Marvel money. Get that Marvel bag.

220

00:13:31,208 --> 00:13:32,500

For real.

221

00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:35,041

I like Andre 3000 in Four Brothers.

222

00:13:35,041 --> 00:13:36,333

was a balance.

223

00:13:36,541 --> 00:13:39,416

Coincidentally, Mark Wahlberg is in that movie as well.

224

00:13:40,458 --> 00:13:42,083

As well as Tyrese.

225

00:13:42,125 --> 00:13:44,708

Who's not necessarily a rapper, but he's

226

00:13:45,666 --> 00:13:50,041

you his songs are hip hop adjacent, not just a crooner, but he can also puts out songs

that are hip hop heavy.

227

00:13:50,541 --> 00:13:52,458

He just kind of sings over them.

228

00:13:52,458 --> 00:13:56,583

But yeah, it was pretty good performance from all three of them in that movie.

229

00:13:56,583 --> 00:14:04,333

So if you didn't know about some of these films or actors or actresses, look them up

because you might find a hidden gem.

230

00:14:04,791 --> 00:14:13,625

we'll keep our eyes out for future rappers in films because we know it's gonna, as we

said, this is not a trend that's gonna die.

231

00:14:14,208 --> 00:14:17,541

As long as it's hip hop, there's gonna be rappers turning to actors.

232

00:14:19,541 --> 00:14:20,666

It's a pipeline.

233

00:14:20,666 --> 00:14:22,125

You know that's right, yep.

234

00:14:22,125 --> 00:14:26,875

And we love our documentaries as well, so there's definitely going to be more and more of

those as well.

235

00:14:26,875 --> 00:14:29,791

People telling the stories of these.

236

00:14:30,208 --> 00:14:38,916

Especially with the OG era into the time where you'll see a lot more documentaries about

those folks.

237

00:14:38,916 --> 00:14:45,916

And we already have, but there's going be more of them because it's about that time where

we have of them.

238

00:14:46,041 --> 00:14:48,583

Yep, absolutely.

239

00:14:48,583 --> 00:14:49,666

More to come.

240

00:14:50,333 --> 00:14:53,083

how good a track, All the Places by Pete Rock and C.L.

242

00:15:02,166 --> 00:15:03,833

Smooth is and was.

243

Girls and the grandma singing Rappers Delight in the wedding singer.

245

00:15:17,625 --> 00:15:18,875

Kevin Gnapoor.

246

00:15:18,875 --> 00:15:23,833

That's MC.

247

00:15:23,833 --> 00:15:24,500

Yes.

248

00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:29,166

uh That was my man right there.

249

00:15:29,375 --> 00:15:30,083

All right.

250

00:15:30,083 --> 00:15:32,625

And I'm BooGie, a DJ, a long time hip hop fan.

251

00:15:32,625 --> 00:15:38,250

I just want to take a quick second to shout out my brother, my fam, brother Hahz AKA Hahz the Ripper.

252

00:15:38,250 --> 00:15:44,333

One of the illest lyricists I've ever heard in my life straight out of Newark, New Jersey

We went to high school together.

253

00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,041

can check him out right now if you want to learn about him.

254

00:15:47,041 --> 00:15:52,125

He's got an episode on Memphis Bleek's Rock Solid podcast, probably about a drink.

255

00:15:52,125 --> 00:15:54,166

Champs Network is on right now.

256

00:15:54,166 --> 00:15:55,333

And I'm rocking my shirt.

257

00:15:55,333 --> 00:15:56,750

I'm supporting him.

258

00:15:57,125 --> 00:15:58,666

Hahz the Ripper versus anybody?

259

00:15:58,666 --> 00:16:02,416

Because literally, like I would put him toe toe with anybody.

260

00:16:02,791 --> 00:16:03,666

Mm-hmm.

261

00:16:03,666 --> 00:16:11,125

Next week we'll discuss the movie Idlewild featuring Andre 3000 and Big Boi. OutKast in the house.

262

00:16:11,333 --> 00:16:21,208

Join us on Thursday November 13th at the Frank Banko Alehouse cinemas in Steelstacks,

Bethlehem as the Hip Hop Movie Club hosts a special 10-year anniversary screening of

263

00:16:21,208 --> 00:16:22,833

Straight Outta Compton.

264

00:16:23,083 --> 00:16:23,583

Yeah.

265

00:16:23,583 --> 00:16:26,500

Remember, don't hate, marinate.

266

00:16:27,750 --> 00:16:28,916

Oh yeah.

267

00:16:29,583 --> 00:16:33,791

Weather's dropping, you marinate that food, throw it in the crock pot, slow cooker.

268

00:16:35,916 --> 00:16:37,625

Can you get that grub on?

269

00:16:38,041 --> 00:16:39,208

Oh yeah.
