but this might not be that bad. if he puts on about 40 lbs. of muscle, might be a real clever casting move. |

Besides, do you really want them to blow their wad on the first film? They need to save some big characters for sequels and spin offs. |

Wow, he does look like Roadblock!
Not sure if he can act though. Hope he isn't bad like Ice cube and Snoop dog.

He was in American Gangster w/ Denzel Washington, too. I agree he looks like Roadblock in the face - and if they use the rhyme gimmick [hopefully no more than twice] I'm sure he'd do fine. He's not scrawny, but he's not the heavy muscle we usually associate with Roadblock either.
No worries, though. It's not like a post-modern military unit would be using a Ma-Deuce or even an M-60 pig. He'll probably have a next-gen SAW; something with a high rate of fire but not necessarily huge. Me, I'm hoping this is more than just a rumor. |

Common is a great rapper, but Roadblock? No.........
Nothing to do with size. Yes Common can easily mimic Roadblock's trademark rhymes, but I don't think he could be a good Roadblock. |

Not sure how I feel about this. I like common as an artist. I like his music. I liked his performance in Smokin' Aces, but I'm not I could go for him as Roadblock. He does kind of look like him, but not sure if he could pull off the presence that Roadblock brings with him.

I don't know to much about this rapper, but i like the idea of roadblock in the movie. Plus, a rapper might be good at roadblock's rhyming vocabulary...

Is he a posotive rapper or is he a trash talkin gangbanger? I always pictured Roadie as being a bit bigger than most of the joes, bulky, muscular, and tough. MDC could have made a good roadblock, but this guy doesn't look too bad.

He's positive, IMO. He's very eloquent. If he were bigger (mass wise), I think he'd make a great Roadblock.
