I agree with the first two paragraphs but I dont think Dre's role in Training Day was big enough to judge but it wasnt terrible.
Well, put it this way, the part was big enough with enough dialogue for me to say that I would be interested in giving him a chance and seeing what he can really do.
At the same time he also had a big enough part to say he's a better actor than Snoop. Hell, David Arquette is a better wrestler than Snoop is an actor.
As I said before I thought DMX was weak in Exit Wounds (although I thought that movie was shit all over) but he was good in Belly, and I thought Nas was good in Belly - I think that was the kind of character he aimed for so it'd show the differences between DMX's character and Nas'.
I just despised Belly altogether. That was a TERRIBLE fucking movie. I started out hoping it was going to be good. 40 minutes into it was saying outloud to nobody "this is the actual movie?". I couldn't believe it.
Belly makes a movie like Showgirls look like The Godfather.
But yeah Snoop is one of the shittest.
Haha...there is not a word created in any human language to describe how bad of an actor Snoopy is. The dictionary entry should just be as follows:
"bad actor (n): see a picture of rapper/actor Calvin Broadus aka Snoop Doggy Dogg aka Snoop Dogg aka Tha Doggfather aka Big Snoop Dogg
EX: Denzel committed a Snoop in regards to his level of acting in that movie"
