Answer to Question 2
As a rap recording artist, he has had several platinum-plus albums. But his
future lies in cinema. Rap is a young man's game, he has said, I can do bigger and
better things with movies. In 1998 he set up his own production company, Cube
Vision. He has produced dozens of TV programs in addition to acting in many of
them. He has acted in 32 films, in both comic and serious roles. He has composed 49
soundtracks. In addition, he's produced nine movies, including the highly successful
Friday comedies. He has also written seven screenplays and directed two films.
Because he has a feel for neighborhood films, MGM asked him to work on the
script of the ensemble comedy Barber Shop and serve as its producer. Like most of
his films and TV shows, it has a strong flavor of the 'hood, with frequent flights of
irreverent humor, rich characterizations, and lots of heart.
