Will Smith's recent film deals remind us that not all rapper-actors excel at both gigs. So we recommend they make a choice...
ACTOR Will Smith
One of Hollywood's most bankable stars, he hasn't had a credible hit
song since 1991's ''Summertime.''
RAPPER Snoop Dogg
Sure, Snoop was terrific in Training Day, but how can we forget Bones? Or Soul Plane? Or The Wash...?
ACTOR Queen Latifah
Last CD: jazz. Plus, she was a marvel in Chicago, and we have faith
she'll quit making stinky comedies like Taxi.
NEITHER Diddy Self-promotion doesn't unstiffen acting (Monster's Ball) or fix dubious rapping.
