--------
Aries Spears spoke about his views on rappers turned actors. The conversation began with a discussion about rappers like DMX and Ice Cube, whose acting, Aries points out, tends to be fairly one-dimensional and within their familiar personas. When asked about Will Smith, Aries acknowledged him as the best amongst rappers turned actors. Aries also brought up Mos Def, Tupac, and Queen Latifah as capable actors with more range. On the other hand, he had less positive views about Common's acting, which he describes as "one tone." Aries stresses the importance of range and depth in acting, comparing rappers' acting skills to those of seasoned actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington, and Al Pacino. The conversation ended with a reminder that opinions are personal, and one's prowess in one field doesn't always translate to excellence in another.
