Soulja Boy to Play Tupac in Juice Remake

Looks like we can add Soulja Boy to the list of rappers turned actor. After just releasing his mixtape, “Juice,” he announced that he will be playing the role of Bishop played by West Coast rapper Tupac in an upcoming biopic.
Here is what Soulja Boy had to say about his upcoming role:

“Basically, it’s your boy Soulja and I’m Bishop in 2011, running around in the streets, man. You know how the movie goes, but we’re flipping it and shooting in Atlanta. I want to show these people my acting side and me being creative—always giving them something new; that’s all. I got same video director that shot ‘Crank That,’ ‘Kiss Me Through The Phone,’ ‘Turn My Swag On’ —my most successful videos. The whole mixtape is the soundtrack for the movie.”

Filming is set to begin soon and I all I can say is “Juice” is a classic so I hope Soulja Boy does this movie justice.
