Last week rumors hit the net that The Game was set to resurrect Mr. T’s role as B.A. Baracus in the upcoming A-Team movie, yet his rep has confirmed with XXLMag.com that while the Compton rapper is up for the part, he has not snagged it just yet.
Chuck Taylor is not the only artist vying for the role, Common, Ice Cube and Tyrese’s names have all been mentioned in previous reports. It has been confirmed that Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces) will be directing the flick— a remake of the classic ’80s TV show.
In related news the Doctor’s Advocate will star alongside Stacey Dash in the upcoming movie House Arrest. The film, described as a “dramedy” by director Billy Washington, centers around a “high maintenance girl who meets a quick money scheming man.” –Max G

So wouldn’t it seem that Common would have the inside track since he was in Smokin’ Aces? He was actually very good in that flick

VING RHAMES! Good point, Willy, I’ll co-sign that one over my Ice Cube preference. There’s another actor I’m trying to think of who would be good for this role… I just can’t think of the name.

It was a team of Vietnam commando veterans, each one with special skills, forming a team of badass detectives or vigilantes or whatever, I don’t remember very well. But the main point is Barracuda, Mr T’s character, is the gulliest demolition man ever made, with jewels to make 5 rap labels altogether jealous. So it needs charismatic badass attitude, hence my suggestion of the Rhames …

All I needed to see was the sequel to Belly to convince me that the Game is probably one of the worst actors ever. That movie was so bad I was glad I copped that shit for five dollars from that African nigga on Pitkin Avenue and didn’t waste the 14.95 that Virgin Records wanted for that bullshit. That movie ain’t even worthy enough for me to roll my blunts on. But yeah, Ving should play T, either that or they can get Gary Coleman to dress up like he did in that episode of Different Strokes.

^ Naw, you can tell most of the media writters and reporters were fans. I’m actually quite pleased with the amount and positive coverage Mikes getting. They call him, the king of pop, the king, the best performer of all time etc. Its evidence that lots of people loved that dude. Some people try to bring up the charges and negatives, but I’m quite pleased with the coverage that MJ is getting, he fucking deserves it

when i first heard this i thought of one name, & one name only, KIMBO SLICE!!! he’d be perfect for that role. (of course he would have to learn how to act)
but if were talking already established actors than i co-sign Ving Rhames & no one else.

What up to all you cats.
The Mike coverage is good. Very respectful, aside from the occasional douche yelling out “We Love You Mike!”. Who does that @ a funeral.
But, I think Ice Cube would be the best candidate. His persona is most similar to Mr. T. Lack of facial expression, monotone voice, disgruntled demeanor. That show was my shit.
Game’s not an actor. These companies think they can’t “360″ every artist, but that’s lame. & mathematically impossible for every dude who can write a decent rap can portray a character in a movie.
Maybe game thought he pulled off the “stripper guy” so good on that gameshow that’s he’s an actual thespian. No Dice.

Only reason I don’t say Ving Rhames is because dude is a really good actor. I think to capture the actual “Mr. T” personification, you would need someone who leans more toward mediocre.
Otherwise, Ving would steal the show & outshine whoever else is in it.

I think Ving would be too good to be in that. Especially if they’re considering some like The Game.
If he were to play BA, Ving I mean, he’ll easily outshine everyone else on the cast. Dude’s official.
But right now, Ving’s working on a movie with Nipsey Hu$$le & some East Coast cat, with another film coming right behind it, so I doubt it would be him anyway.
But, Ving or O’shay would both kill that roll. I can’t wait to see what the va looks like. & the real question is who would play Face, since he got all the broads a man could want.
RIP George Peppard.

Even when they lose, they still won to me. Fuck Ron Artest!! But, that’s going to be a major piece to what we need. Hell, if we had him this last season, it would’ve been that much easier.
Ariza is off the chain, but Artest’s crazy ass will more than fill the void. Like, our own post-Madonna Dennis Rodman. Defense & a GUARANTEED 16 points a night. & don’t forget, he’s an intimidating ass dude. I wouldn’t have him @ my crib for dinner.
It won’t be easy though, James & O’Neal are going to be a monster team. & KG’s got something to prove. Next season going to be way more exciting than the last one. Orlando who?

I wonder how Dwight feels repping Disney.
LA may take the west crown(can only see Denver and The Blazers as a threat) but I think they put the “beast” back in the east. Rich Jeff on the Spurs doesn’t hide the fact that Timmy is losing it.

All the contenders in the East picked up major free agents. Cavs getting Shaq, Magic getting Vince Carter, and the Celtics just landed Rasheed Wallace who should be an insurance policy in case K.G. comes up injured again. That should be the only challenge to the Lakers, who will run through the West with no problem. Think about that starting 5: DFisher, Kobe, Ron Artest, Pau Gasol, and Bynum, it’s a wrap no contest until the Finals.

The Blazers? Seriously? Any chance they have is based on Greg Oden staying healthy, and that mafucker is the most injured player I’ve ever seen in NBA history. He can’t even make it through one week without coming up gimpy. And Denver won’t do shit, all the Lakers have to do now is stick Artest on Melo. Artest can guard any opponent, now that Kobe’s on the same team as him. haha.

The Blazers gave the Laker’s all types of fits(no Memphis Bleek) last season. And Oden to me is a bum. Fish can’t hold Brandon Roy.
Barring injuries, I don’t see Denver falling off. But I’ma wait until after this free agency shift around and see who is who before I really jump into the Yankee season.

Kobe can guard Roy no problem. The West is the weaker conference now, except for the Lakers. The Mavericks pickin’ up Jason Kidd was funny, they couldn’t even win a championship when they used to have him and they still got the same squad as before he left. When is Mark Cuban gonna recognize that his squad is gonna keep gettin’ knocked out in the first round without a decent center.
