A great way for rap artists to stay in the in entertainment industry is by branching outside of the rap music business into other lucrative opportunities. Take for example voice acting in video games. Next year's highly anticipated video game release, "Gears Of War 3" which is scheduled to be released by Microsoft's Xbox 360 in 2011, will include two rappers casted as characters.
Legendary west-coast rapper/actor Ice-T has landed the role of "Griffin", which is the lead character of the extremely popular game trilogy. One of hip hop's freshest rising stars, Drake is also casted for a significant role in the "Gears of War 3" game.
While acting is nothing new to either of these rappers, voice acting for this game will be an impressive addition to their resumes. Drake came up on the show "Degrassi" and Ice-T has starred in many movies over the years. Ice T is also a mian character on the TV series "Law & Order:Special Victims Unit".What do you think about these two rappers joining the cast of voice actors for this video game?
