Hatte Samuel L Jackson nicht noch vor kurzem über die ganzen Rapper gewettert die derzeit ins Filmgeschäft drängen ? Jetzt musste er gleich mit 2 von der Sorte nen Film drehen, armer Junge

"It's not my job to lend credibility to so-and-so rapper who's just coming into the business," Jackson told the Sacramento Bee. "To take people from the music world and give them the same kind of credibility and weight that you give me, Morgan Freeman, Laurence Fishburne, Forest Whitaker -- that's like an aberration to me," Jackson said.

Jackson starred in "Shaft," which gave Busta Rhymes a very prominent role. He will also star in the upcoming movie "XXX," which features Eve. While he says that he will not star along side rappers anymore, he did praise Will Smith, who has starred in various feature films.

"I know there's some young actor sitting in New York or L.A. who's spent half of his life learning how to act and sacrificing to learn his craft but isn't going to get his opportunity ... because of some actor who's been created," he said.
