10 Great Performances by Rappers in TV and Movies
For rappers like Tupac and Queen Latifah, their creative versatility speaks for itself.
Tupac Shakur - 'Above The Rim' (1994)
Tupac Shakur gave an indelible performance as Bishop in Juice. Fans love Bishop, and it's hard to imagine that character not being the role that Tupac will be best remembered for. But Birdie, his antagonistic character from Above The Rim, is the funniest, most fiery, and the most emotionally dynamic role that Makaveli ever inhabited.

Tupac imbues Birdie's contentious relationship with his older brother Shep, with a credible sense of emotional history. Birdie radiates charisma, particularly in his absolutely riotous stint as head coach of his street ball team "The Birdmen." Seeing the lightning-in-a-bottle nature of this performance leaves one with a heartbreaking glimpse of Tupac's true potential as an actor.

The 25 best romance films of the 1990s
Poetic Justice (1993)
John Singleton cast Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur as the central couple in his road trip drama, and despite their both primarily being musicians, they deliver excellent natural acting performances. You'd never guess that these performers hadn't made a dozen movies before this one — they're charming, comfortable, and have palpable romantic chemistry. The overall movie isn't as ambitious as Singleton's debut Boyz n the Hood, but it maintains that movie's strong tenderness, opting for a softer, smaller-scale drama with tons of heart, humor, and style. Poetic Justice doesn't shy away from the frequent harshness of Black life in the United States, but it still offers an abundance of beauty and hope.

That's good news. I do not know why there was such a long wait for him to get that star put there, but glad that he got 1.

I wish that his Mother had been alive to see him get his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame too.

Thanks. I remember in middle school listening to "California Love" on the radio as the first song of his I heard. I liked his performances in "Above the Rim", "Gang Related", & "Poetic Justice".

I think that sometimes Tupac's talent as a actor is underrated.

’50 Years Fly: The Rise, Fall and Revolution of Hip-Hop Fashion’ mentions that Tupac chose to promote Black designers free of charge.
