rap•tor (rap-ter)
n.
1. A famous rapper who is
angling his career towards performing as an
untrained actor in movies. A rapper whose attempt at playing any role other than a thug would be laughable.
2. A music performer turned hack actor; usually relegated to playing some version of his or her music career persona.
3. Any hip hop artist who uses profits from album sales to pay dues to the Screen
Actor's Guild. Much like the prehistoric raptor, this subspecies will one day be extinct.
"
Fiddy's work as a raptor is almost as disappointing as his work in music."
"At this point in his career to consider Ludacris as anything more than a raptor would be... well... ludicrous."
"Beyonce's work on-screen as a raptor is cringe-worthy."
"The raptors are a
pestilence that is slowly squeezing out our potential for finding the next
Don Cheadle."
