Rappers gonna rap, but sometimes rappers gonna act, too—especially when being multi-talented is an increasingly important quality in the making of a star. I probably know less about rap music than anyone in the Complex office, but what I do know is movies, and I can tell you this has been an excellent year for rappers appearing in movies. Not only was one of the biggest films this year a rap biopic (Straight Outta Compton) but we've seen multiple appearances from the likes of 50 Cent and T.I. (and, of course, Donald Glover, who is as much of an actor as he is a musician). In 2015, MCs have taken on roles both both big and small, from huge blockbusters (Furious 7) to small indies (James White) to everything in between. Who can spit bars best is a whole other competition, but let's rank the best film performances from rappers this year.
