Nelly: Actor
Posted in Actors, Nelly, Rapper on the November 1, 2008
Rapper Nelly recently made an appearance on the hit CBS drama ‘CSI: NY’. His character has a multi-episode arc where he plays a club owner who serves as a confidential informant to Detective Mac Taylor, played by actor Gary Sinise, and his team. The show’s executive producer Pam Veasey said of Nelly’s performance that “He’s a great actor. He really stepped up.” That’s more than you can say for other musicians turned actors. Nelly has real talent. I wonder if he’ll be doing any more acting. Currently, the rapper is on tour in support of his fifth studio album ‘Brass Knuckles’.
Eminem’s Fame
Posted in Album Release, Eminem, Rap Music, Rapper on the November 1, 2008
Eminem says that he has no desire for fame even though he’s making a new album called ‘Relapse’. The rapper says he doesn’t really want a comeback but that he just wants to remind people of how he raps. He says that he feels content with what he has accomplished thus far but he also admits that he like the attention, just not too much of it. The recently crowned greatest rapper alive says he’s excited to get back out there after collaborating with Dr. Dre for the past 5 months on brand new material. He admits to being spoiled in the studio because he lets Dre do all the production as he concentrates solely on his raps.
