Black Thought With
Acting Chops
Philadelphia emcee Black Thought
along with Rosario Dawson (Clerks2, Grindhouse) have been cast for an upcoming independent film
entitled Explicit Ills.
The film touches on the effects of poverty, drug usage and
the choices that people are forced to endure. (For example: a woman without
health insurance that has a son that suffers from asthma [Rosario Dawson]).
Black Thought
(who has also appeared in Spike Lee’s
Bamboozled and Brooklyn Babylon) joins Naomie
Harris (Pirates of the Caribbean),
Lou Taylor Pucci & Paul Franklin Dano (Little Miss Sunshine) in the directing
debut of Mark Webber (Whiteboyz, Bomb the System).

today (Tuesday, Sept. 04) she presented Kanye West with the International Man
of the Year Award for GQ Magazine at their annual awards ceremony in London.
Two years after Jay-Z

Other honorees have included James Blunt (Solo Artist of the Year) and Michael
Caine (Lifetime Achievement Award).
