As the line between musicians and cinematic actors continue to blur, one can only wonder what movie roles can some of today’s top rappers play! Could Kendrick transition into the role of a savvy detective, alongside Stabler in a Crime drama? Could Nicki Minaj be in the next sic-fi movie? Well hit the jump to see the roles that Pepsi has given Kendrick, Nicki Minaj,Action Bronson, Drake, Chance the Rapper And more!
Imagine the West Coast’s own Kendrick Lamar in a Suspense Thriller? Pepsi has taken on the role of casting director and heres their defense on why K.Dot would perfect in a Suspense Thriller:
“Anyone that’s ever listened to Kendrick Lamar, either in his music or in an interview, knows that he’s a keen observer that thinks before he speaks. This quality is the prime reason why we think K. Dot could nail the loner detective shtick while chasing down the bad guys and solving the mystery.”
How about the animated Nicki Minaj, as a super villain in a comic book movie? The Hopeless Romantic Drake, in a Romantic Comedy, where nothing was the same?
Or Action Bronson as the boss man or affiliate in a mob film?
“Action Bronson pulls no punches with his music, his image OR his cooking. This larger-than-life emcee fits right at home next to Pacino and De Niro. He could easily play the intimidating and charismatic head of a mob family, particularly since he derives part of his name from renowned action star Charles Bronson (and, well, there’s that “Action” part, too). He’d be ready to take care of business and eat a hearty meal afterwards.”
We can only hope too see these creative artists on the big screen, to see where Macklemore, Lupe Fiasco, Jean Grae, Chance The Rapper and more were casted check out Pepsi’s full list!
