Who Had A Stronger Acting Debut? Ice Cube Or MC Eiht?

[The Evil Genius]

I waz sittin up here watching Menace II Society a few nightz ago & one thing I've alwayz felt waz how impressed I waz @ MC Eiht's performance in the film. Now I know he didn't become a major star in Hollywood like Cube but one thing they do have in common iz that boths big screen debuts were in Classic hood films & both were respected West Coast rappers @ the time.

Now my question iz who do u think made a stronger acting debut. And I mean who played there rolls better. Not which film waz better, who's career took off or who waz the better MC @ the time cuz that haz nothin 2 do with who played there rolls better.

Ice Cube az Dough Boy in Boyz-N-Da-Hood

MC Eiht az A-Wax in Menace II Society

 

[Anaheim*Rob]

I'd have to go with Cube.

I don't think either one really outdid the other to where you could say he did better. Both had their good moments in each film, and they also shared some moments where they weren't believable.

I say neither.

I thought Eiht was horrible in Menace... Cube's debut was far better...

 

[mrtonguetwista]

Cube = star
Eiht = co-star

 

[og MS]

Cube... and the various other movie roles following Boyz N Da Hood kinda speak for themselves.

 

[The Evil Genius]

Everyone made some solid opinions but whenever I go back & look @ Boyz.. I'm not az impressed now with Cubes performance az I waz when I first seen the film. When I watch Menace.... I still like Eiht's performance a lot. For an amatuer he did one hell of a job IMO. Cube seemed a little less polished to me.

8 never had to really "act" though. He never had to change his tone, act humorous. He never had to change it up, though.

I agree that Cube's performance doesn't have the same quality as I thought it did when I was younger, but as I said, 8's role didn't call for him to do much more than be 8 on a serious tip.

CUBE ALL DAY !!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SMOKED THEM FOOLS FOR HIS BROTHER!HE DID THE DRIVE -BY ,THEN SAID FUCC IT IM MAKE SURE THESE FOOLS IS DEAD! PULLED UP ON THEM JUMPED OUT THE SIX TREY WITH THE 44 AND TOLD DUDE TO "TURN OVER MUTHAFUCCA",SO HE COULD SEE HIM FACE TO FACE AND LET HIM HAVE IT!!!

EIHT DID GET DUDE WITH "U NEED SUM HELP"!!!!

 

[Codeine]

Ice Cube was decent in "Boyz In The Hood".....

But Chris Tucker made Ice Cube a star.

 

[45park1904]

i would say cube, but eiht had his moments as well.."HEY HOMIE YOU NEED SOME HELP" hahah me and the homies still quote that from menace

Chris Tucker made what? I think itz the other way around.

 

[M.V.W.]

It's hard to really compare. Ice Cube was solid as Doughboy, though.

 

[WestWest]

Cube is the better actor, but I think Eiht definately made A-Wax into a classic character

 

[TRAJIK1]

cube

Cube had a bigger role, and did a good job. but how sick was mc eiht's part? one of my favorite scenes (obviously) is when they're driving in the car before they light those fools up. Mc Eiht looks muthafuckin PISSED and is just lookin from left to right, like hes so fucking determined. his role is smaller, but the shit he says is dope and he does a good job.

Cube Hands Down.. How Many Movies has Eiht Starred In Since His Debut.. LOL

If u read my original post @ the beginning of thiz thread I aked 2 NOT bring up "who's acting career took off & who's didn't etc". Thatz not gonna define who did a better job in there first acting gig & u just entered politics into the discussion which I waz trying 2 avoid from the jump. Master P got more albums out then Rakim but does that make P a better rapper? I just wanted 2 know from people who hd a more solid performance in there acting debuts.
