Idris Elba “Fly Ty”

Idris Elba and Cuba Gooding Jr. are cast to star in the biopic film The Vapors based on 80′s hip-hop pioneers the Juice Crew that included Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, and Roxanne Shante. Idris will be playing rapper Fly Ty and Cuba will star as the Juice Crew founder Marley Marl.

We know you ladies can’t wait to see Idris on the screen again, but we are a little skeptical about Cuba’s corny ass playing Marley Marl. If you need a brief reminder of Cuba and his gaylordisms see below.

    I would definitely leave Kendu’s ass for this fine piece of meat. I mean dayum! got me leakin like a tap over here

  • jena 4rm tha block

    First he’s fine!

  • BossLady

    3rd. I’m getting better!

  • Mary J Blige

    i bet he would look even better with a copy of Growing Pains (out NOW) in between he is tensed butt cheeks.

  • Mary J Blige

    It’s about time that we see some respect gettin’ thrown back at the pioneers who paved the road for superstars like me! And speaking of stars like me, have you all bought my album yet? It’s fantastic! Forget that big-headed Puerto Rican bimbo Rihanna, I’m where it’s at! I was on a conference call with Russell Simmons and Santa Claus earlier and they both said my album is the best thing to happen this year.

  • Bahama Mama

    WOW, now i really see the movie…lol

  • gliter

    He was said to be found at a millionaire&celebs club “Meet Rich,com” not long before, and he was hot there.Quite a few girls and ladies wrote to him.OMG!

    LOL CUBA SHO LOOKS LIKE PINK MEAT ON THAT PIC..LOL

  • http://www.myspace.com/birdshu Bird

    I pray that Idris gets the opportunity to do more serious roles. All these roles in these black movies don’t generally lead to bigger and better things.

  • Curly Fries

    Idris looks damn good and I bet he knows how to throw that “Big Black” off in a woman….DAMN!!

  • LAUGHNYOFACE

    Checking my Yahoo Account I notice Jay Z Pic is on the FRONT PAGE for Dumbest Moments of the YEAR.

    32. Gimme some skin, dawg. Rapper Jay-Z, founder of the Rocawear clothing line, is taken to task by the Humane Society after it finds that the “faux fur” in jackets sold by his company is actually dog fur.

    that’s not a man girl monster….that’s how they do it in West Virginia..

  • http://www.yahoo.com Southern Belle 225

    Damn! Idris can get it all day and night. Good Lawd! Anyway, I’m not a fan of Cuba but he can do good work when he wants to. I liked him in this movie called Dirty. He was a dirty cop and he did a good job. Better than I expected. I can’t see him as Marley Marl but I guess we’ll see.

  • me that’s who

    MTW

    that’s not a man girl monster….that’s how they do it in West Virginia..

    speak the truth…

  • Seth

    Idris is a good old Brit, I used to see him on a show called “Ultraviolet” all the Brit girls wanted to be his love interest.

    Cuba is a good actor, he just stupidly decided to chose comic roles instead of becoming a dramatic actor which he is much better at.

  • CubaLinda

    “LOL CUBA SHO LOOKS LIKE PINK MEAT ON THAT PIC..LOL

    Yo FAW~ please properly refer to your Cuba’s {ie. Cuba Gooding SHO LOOKS LIKE PINK MEAT ON THAT PIC..LOL…} For a minute I thought you was taking a stab at CubaLinda.

    “Has anyone else noticed that hollyweird likes for the black women to be light skinned or biracial while they prefer the men to be darker skinned?”

    ———————————–

    I’ve noticed it too & I think it stinks! Only time you see a darker sista is if she’s meant to be the ugly, loud or homely friend who dispenses words of wisdom like some kind of modern day vodoo gypsy!

  • Aoki Lee

    Matter fact I bet if actresses like Gabby Union & Nia Long were not so pretty they’d have more work in Hollywood. They’d be in every tv show & movie bucking their eyes & looking hot messes making major money the same way Whoopi Goldberg racked in hers back in the 80′s!!!

    Let’s Talk About It Folks

  • Bahama Mama

    Lol tx… u might have to fight WESSIDE (throws uo w’s) for him though.

  • FineAsWine

    WHO I MISSED..LOL

  • Aoki Lee

    Also- I think Idris should be playing Big Daddy Kane!

    Who will they get to play the Big Daddy if not Idris? Who so ever it is – better be damned fine as whine & black as a berry is all I’m saying.

    Ladies help me out- who do yall think could play Big Daddy Kane? Please don’t say no one crazy like Jamie Fox or worst yet OMARION – YUCK!!

  • DC

    Yall want to get deep about it? Yep there are stereotypes like that. And the declining morality of our society is being perpetrated in what medias MOST? Now back it up. Who runs Hollyweird? And who do those same Hollyweird $$$ support politically? And who does Hollyweird exploit on one end while their political affiliates exploit on the other end.

    Lets Talk about it….

  • Bahama Mama

    LMAO @ FAW….

    we was playin a game in the taye room but we couldn’t find you….

  • Trouble’s Da Name

    Cuba’s a good actor, so I think he can do Marley Marl justice. Just because he doesn’t carry himself like the stereotypical black man takes nothing away from his talents.

  • Bahama Mama

    Wesside I swear you are silly!!

    lol

    OMG Idris is one of the sexiest blokes alive!!! He’s so hot I want to bake cookies on ‘im!! I luv Cuba Gooding Jr. & I think he will perform the role of Marley Marl quite nicely. He’s an exceptionally talented dramatic actor who just happens to mix in a few comedies & kid friendlies every now & then (ironically enough most of you have seen or heard about those roles but few have heard about his recent dramatic roles—Go Figure!).

    Idris, no comments. I think i’ve watched daddy’s little girls numerous time and his voice. that’s a manly man.

  • dani

    I’m not a fan of this remake they should just stop doing remakes all together and films start becoming original with their plots..i love hip-hop but damn they really need to stop..on that note I love Idris he is my kinda guy..just gorgeous

  • Reformed GammaRay

    OMG!! I haven’t heard Gaylord in a billion yrs.. Lordy..lol

  • LEESA

    I don’t think Idris is attractive at all! He always looks like the drunk uncle at the family reunion to me!

  • DM

    Idris is finer than wine.

  • samira

    Idris…yummy!!!! It gets even better when he speaks!!!!

  • La Cre

    They really need to re-think that Cuba Gooding, Jr. playing Marlie Marl. He truly is too corney. He totally messed up the movies Fighting Temptations and Shadowboxer. He just is no longer ethnic enough. Give it to Wayne Brady instead-did yall see Crossover?

  • http://Yahoo Luci Liu2

    CUBA IS A FINE ACTOR. HE CAN PLAY JUST ABOUT ANY PART. CHECK OUT THE MOVIE “SHADOWBOXER”, WITH CUBA. THEN DECIDE IF HE’S RIGHT FOR THIS ROLE. YOU’LL BE SURPRISED.
