NO RAPPER ACTORS

Occasionally, this argument rears its ugly head and it’s coming up again. Actor Anthony Mackie recently talked about how Hollywood is not investing their energy and money into developing young actors. Instead, they are turning to rappers.
Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with rappers/singers transitioning into acting, as long as they take it seriously. Acting is an artform, just like rapping and singing. It has to be respected. Besides, there are some rappers that have done an excellent job in the acting world. Will Smith, Ice Cube and Queen Latifah come to mind.
Do you like seeing rappers take on acting?
MAKING NICE

Producer Swiss Beatz’s ex-wife Mashonda says that she’s looking forward to establishing unity between her child and the rest of Beatz’s children. The couple recently divorced. Beatz is now married to singer Alicia Keys and is expecting his first child with the singer. He has a son from a previous relationship and another child that he created with a woman overseas-while married to Mashonda.
I hope that she really does mean this. I know it’s been hard for her, since she’s been very vocal about her issues with Keys and the whole situation. I think she should mostly take some time out and heal from this experience. She had a lot of anguish about the end of her marriage and that has to be addressed on her end.
Do you think it’s a good idea for the Beatz’s baby mothers to get the children together?
