Busta Rhymes Would Gladly Trade Rap for TV Career
Posted by Bossip Staff
Busta-a-Bust is okay with rap, but he’s really diggin’ on an acting career:
BUSTA RHYMES would jump at a chance to pursue a career on the small screen – and would happily hang up the microphone if he was offered the big bucks to swap rap for TV.
The Touch It hitmaker, real name Trevor Smith, is an avid follower of actor Hugh Laurie’s medical drama House and the hit crime series CSI. The hip-hop star has tried his hand at acting with small roles in films like Shaft in 2000 and 2002’s Halloween: Resurrection, and admits following in Will Smith’s footsteps and landing a role in a TV series would be a dream come true.
He says, “Yes I would (pursue a full-time TV career). I’m a big fan of House. I’m a big CSI: Miami fanatic. “And they pay good. The Will Smith money is still crazy, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and all that. I got to know about what that syndication money look (sic) like.”
Smith started out his acting career in the popular comedy The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air before catapulting to superstardom with roles in blockbuster movies like 1996’s Independence Day and Men in Black in 1997
Sh*t, with those record sales looking the way they are, this is hardly a surprise. Busta Rhymes has definitely had some decent performances over the years, so how do you all think he’d fare as a full-time actor?

I don’t you have what it takes to do it big, Busta.
.It is reported that he was always dating young girls on__cl*****ymingle.com___ millionaire and celebrities dating site. happy Easter~~
He should just retire…Period.
I’m so over that homophobic clown. He probably wants to get into “acting” now that he knows he’ll never sell records like he used to anymore.
Sick of artists thinking they can do anything just because they’re famous. Actors turning singers, singers turning actors….
STAY IN YOUR *****ING LANES
Man, some haters in these comments. I’m not from up north and would never consider living up there, but Busta is one of the sickest rappers there is period. The stuff he’s been putting out recently is still *****tin on everyone else, so its not his fault if records dont sell… The music industry is changing, if you haven’t noticed. Hollywood money and TV money is where its at anyway. Go get Busta!
KeepItTrill
This just in: ” Busta to quit rap for a tranny *er- excuse me* tv career
Shouldn’t a person become an actor for the love of acting? not for the “stacks.” After seeing “The Dark Knight,” Heath Ledger’s performance gave me a whole new respect for acting.
When folks like Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, Kimbery Elise, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Johnny Depp, Denzel Washington, and Sean Penn are out there still putting in work, I wouldn’t even consider trying to become an actor.
Busta is not even a good rapper turned actor like Mos Def, Queen Latifah, Ice-T, Ice Cube. Busta is with LL Cool J & Method Man, a rapper trying hard to act but sucks in every performance.
Busta was actually ok in “Higher Learning.”
His gut is almost as big as his his booty. lol
My question is what has he been eating
I agree with Jason B. Real,except the Method Man, Ice-T and LL. Ice T isn’t all that good of an actor either. I say all three are on the same level of being okay. I wouldn’t say they suck.
I’m sure Busta would hand up his mic, he is damn near 40 still trying to hang with the youngins’. Plus his music isn’t popping like it was in the 90’s.
Dat’s my nicca, but he looks like he needs to loose a lil bit of weight! Ya gotta get right for the big screen! Just bein honest.
That’s where the money is.
Hey boo!! Im ready for your va-jay-jay!! come on over so i can beat it up real quick.
well if he wants to act,then he should try comedy cause he’s funny in most of his music videos.
The best rappers turn actors in my opinion are Will Smith Queen Latifah Mos Def and that Raz guy I forget his name but I feel these few rappers turn actors are leggit. I guess Ice Cube and LL are ok but Ice T is terrible along with the rest of the wanna Bees
Busta was never good looking, just someone in the business and had a different voice to go along with his rapping. But DAAAAAAAAA Ole dude look really Pitiful here lately.
Puh-lease!
The first thing he’s gotta do is get rid of some of that damn weight he’s put on.
I bet when he took that hat off, he had a big ol’ ring around his head. SMDH.
That ***** is SO not sexy!!!!!
he should probably retire…But, I wish him well..
I’m so over Busta……now that them records ain’t sellin you gladly want to hand over that career for another one, that I actually think he would fall flat on his face in.
Plus I haven’t really got in to Busta since I saw an interview where someone asked him about homosexuality and he got all retarded. “O, no man I don’t talk about that….No, no, no, man, can’t have that discussion”, Like he couldn’t engage in the dayum topic. Dumb*****, like someone was really asking him a hard ***** question, this is while entertainers Busta will only get so much respect from people, yeah you could rap well and sell records well for a while but thats kinda it….I have seen him act before and it’s “Not Pretty”….
But it’s whatever…if acting doesn’t work I’m sure he will start a clothing line or something like that.
I just need to point out Bossip’s double-standards here. Y’all know that if this was a female in the business, looking only half as big and sloppy as this, whatever point she was trying to make, that headline would have read:
“Ms. XXL Would Gladly Trade Current Career for A Bucket(or 2)of Chicken”
I’m just Telling It Like It Is!
He is getting way too big. He looks like a bunny rabbit.lol.
HUSTLERS AMBITION……..HIP HOP AINT REALLY MAKING THE BIG BUCKS NO MORE…….SO GO FOR THAT BRAD PITTS DOE.GOOD LUCK
he should start out with CELEBRITY FIT CLUB!
$$$$$ is all he cares about.
I wouldn’t watch a show with him.
He should be ashamed for getting that heavy. He has enough money for a gym membership. I wouldn’t his show either.
Busta needs to stop eating, damn he got fat
hit the gym fat boy
He’s going to have to change his name to Busta a Seam or Busta a Stitch.
what would he play: a fat, ugly, down-low, 3rd rate ex rapper? that’s all he’s prepared to play.
How many months he still has to go before having a baby?lol
I can’t stand Busta for what he put his bodyguard that got murdered family through…I respect TI for taking the stand against the people that killed his bodyguard/best friend…Busta on the other hand told the family he would do whatever he could and didnt cooperate with the police at ALL and to think that man lost his life protecting him…SMDH
of course hes ready to trade rap for an acting career – cuz his rap career has gone to *****! his fat *****.
I TELL YOU ITS SOME REAL HATERS ON THIS DAMN SITE. ITS GOOD TO SEE THE PLAN FROM SLAVERY HAS WORKED FOR YOU ALL TO HATE ON ONE ANOTHER!! DAMN YALL NEED SOMETHING BETTA TO DO WITH YOUR LIVES. DO YA THING BUS-GET YA MONEY CUZ THESE SAME CLOWNS COMMENTING WILL BE THE SAME CLOWNS TUNING IN.
BUSTA IS GETTING SLOPPY AND TOO OLD FOR RAP.
@LOVE NONE WHY YA ***** AZZ IS HERE? YA ***** MUNCHING,DINGLEBERRY EATING MAN SALAD TOSSING *****.
Whoa Im just waiting for ppl to say how his fat ***** need to lose some weight. If he was a woman ppl would be tearing his ***** apart for looking like that. But I’ll do- He need to lose some *****ing weight. He need to get toned and go to a gym and stop wearing all those made in china chains around his *****in neck like he’s some damn cattle. But besides all of that i like his music and hope he stays on the mic. LOL
Um No thank you.
Love None if they put a pic of some white fat rapper up then I would say the same thing. I believe in Equal Opportunity. LOL
Maybe he should trade the Popeye’s chicken for a salad sometimes. Goodness!!!!
Busta is a good rapper.. actually his delivery is what got him to stardom…. Busta stick to whachurgoodat…
busta looks horrible all fat and ***** ….
YA’ A BUNCH OF F*CKIN HATERZ ON BOSSIP!!
KEEP DOIN’ UR THING BUSSA BUS!! REAL HIP-HOP NEEDS YOU!!
Real Talk. If Busta doesn’t Start losing weight he will be dead soon. All of that weight gain so quickly is not healthy. Somebody need to talk to him. Take a 6 month fast from eating crap and *****ing.
@Mel
You crazy girl, Bust a Seam, Bust a Stitch, these blogs be on. Yet I think he’s trying to follow Method Man, one career ends, try another.
@Hannibals “So Called” Pimp aka Mr. Backhand
I’m gonna tell you like this homie you definitely don’t want it with me. I ain’t on no internet gangsta ***** so your comments were bogus at me cuz I definitely didn’t disrespect you personally but if your *****got ***** feels like you froggy then leap. I will give you my personal email and address and I will meet you anywhere you like. Either in my hometown of the Chi where you know you will get that ***** beat the ***** up or in your hometown!!!! Believe that ***** dog.
