Cardi B and Offset voice acting in a show targeted towards toddlers/young children.

It's crazy cause just recently Young MA was in an episode of We Baby Bears.

It's fascinating just how accepted rappers/hip-hop has become in American homes. Like the potential was always there for sure hip-hop has had a ton of kids in the rap game Bow Wow, Romeo, Kris Kross, Wayne to some degree, etc.

To me it's just always funny seeing rappers and actors on children's show when you know their music/shows/films are not at all appropriate for children. Always reminds me of James Gandolfini on Sesame Street

okurrr

As well as Anderson .Paak

Young MA was posted in the OP

Oh s*** I missed that lol

Today I learned that there's a f***ing Baby Shark TV show

this is dope but its also rappers taking jobs that couldve gon to other poc voice actors?

Sheeeeeeeesh

The Baby Shark song has 10B views on YouTube man of course it does

offset should never be on nickelodeon

What difference does that make

S*** blew my mind too lmao

This is lowkey a fair point

so Is that we baby bears show for kids or what?

Master P, Tyga and Snoop Dogg are the only rappers I know that have both hosted their own series of p*** DVDs and been on Nickelodeon.

goat

Reminds me of when Bow Wow played a little girl on Channel Zero

from the stripper pole to a kid show this s*** is the American dream

rappers are poc voice actors

One makes money just from voice work. The other Is a literal celebrity

It's rough for Black VAs to break into voice acting. Sure there have definitely been Black voice actors like Cree Summers, Kevin Michael Richardson, Phil LaMarr, Keith David. But those are VAs who have been in the game for a while and...I don't wanna say that they "monopolize" VA roles, cause it's not their fault that most animation studios/production companies/etc go to the same Black VAs all the time. But now with rappers getting in on the VA game despite having little to no experience in voice acting (unless you wanna count their experience as recording artists) that makes it even harder for Black VAs who been trying to break even more difficult.

Let's face it, most studios are gonna go for the big name rapper/music artist to voice a character than a no name who has working on the craft of voice acting specifically for years.

Not all of them deserve it

they should’ve outsourced the nba 2k15 VA to impersonators instead of the athletes

Take 10 mins, watch this, then you’ll understand

Nicki, Lil Twist, Drake did it first.... next
