Former Major Figgas co-founder Gillie Da Kid has built a career in film, since leaving Cash Money Records over five years ago. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rapper has released a series of independent street albums, while working on indie films with actor and friend Ving Rhames.
In a new interview with Mikey T The Moviestar, Gillie promoted some recent straight-to-DVD work. “I got some movies out right now. Wrath Of Cain, King Of The Avenue, Mafia, Pimp Bully, Streets.” He also added that he is now working with Above The Law star Steven Seagal in an upcoming picture, planned to release this Fall. “I got one coming in November called Force Of Execution with me and Steven Seagal, Danny Trejo, and Ving Rhames. Y’all should go check that out; I whip Steven Seagal’s ass in this movie.”
The YouTube sensation continued, noting that he is the latest rapper to play another in a film. In an upcoming film, the self-proclaimed “Gil Smith” will be portraying late superstar emcee (and actor in his own right) Tupac Shakur. “I’m just waitin’ on findin’ out when we shootin’,” said Gillie, adding that he had been paid and received a script, but was unaware of production schedule. “I’m just an actor in that.” He compared himself to another Philly emcee-turned-actor. “Just know, nigga, I’ma transform like Will Smith did when he played [Muhammad] Ali. We already know I’m G’d up enough to play [Tupac]. That was never a question.” Gillie revealed that he had been bulking up in the gym to portray the Death Row Records multi-platinum artist who was tragically murdered in Las Vegas, Nevada in September of 1996.
A onetime nemesis of State Property and Lil Wayne, Gillie did not hold his tongue on criticizing other Rap artists who are acting. “Who else is better to play ‘Pac than me, though? Let’s be honest—especially if it was a fuckin’ rapper. None of these fuckin’ rappers!” The North Philly veteran touted, “That’s what these niggas is: they rappers.”

Nope, you’re playing gay male groupie #2.
I could live with him bein’ tupac but I believe someone else could do better.
Give the fuck up nigga. You don’t even look like Pac, and you’re probably a wack actor.
In that Biggie movie, some fucken crackhead actor played the Pac character.
this nigga wrote all lil waynes hits
when wayne was in the closet with baby havin gay sex this man was writing songs for wayne, birdman and the rest of the clowns on that no talent ass label. of course this was before drakes time.
man why the fuck they get this corny ass clown to play tupac. i aint seein this shit now. way to drop the ball
I’ll wait for something official, than trust the word of a rap nigga. He doesn’t even look like Pac.
they done messed up the whole damn movie if they picked this guy
truuuuu
he looks lik lil wayne with cancer in his pic, doesnt even look lik tupac
if you watch the auditions all over youtube it doesnt make sense they picked this gillie da kid clown. yea i hope he’s reading this too you clown, trying to act hard on a video with that fake ass accent. go sit down you joke. the guy in this video is way more matching to tupac:

Ayo, you some real sucker, chump, corney fuckers. Gillie a real dude. A REAL STREET DUDE, you some straight bitch made cats. Talk slick from behind the iPad your mama got you. This Stan Green from 5th and Glennwood av, North Philly. STFU and wait till You see the joint before you shred a MAN THAT WORKED, HARD FOR YEARS, AND EARNED HIS SHOT.
Nigga you gay.
having another rapper play Pac is blasphemy. They need a REAL actor that actually has the talent to capture Tupacs presence and soul. I seriously doubt that Gillie can do that.
how the fuck is this guy playing pac?…
This lil’ nigga looks more like Fatal Hussein than Pac.
Tru dat, homie really do. Outlawz, gotta give You Much Respect. Always underrated
THIS DUDE IS FUCKING GAY…
ANY MOVIE HE MAKE GONNA BE GAY TOO.
you wanna say hes gay but you ever seen him rocking tight pink t-shirts with lip rings in his face? or his daughters leopard print jeggings and furry moon boots? does he kiss old men on the lips on tv and in front of cameras? Wayne is the real GAY
maaannn I can find 50 people who look more like tupac walking through oakland for 20min
No….just…no
Damn
He could act like he’s 2Pac
But he sure doesn’t look like Pac
Too bad
Gonna be the next Brandon T Jackson wit his skinny ass
so they gonna remove my post because i posted a better actor that auditioned to play tupac and nailed the role. man…. look up Brandon Chiev Thomas Tupac Audition. That guy NAILS it, you would swear tupac is still alive. Just open the video and change the tab, and you will swear Tupac is actually interviewing. This gilla “da kid” fool is so corny and sounds or looks nothing like pac. How can casting be so stupid? GET IT RIGHT!!! It’s like fools are TRYING to make a bad movie.
they delete all posts with links to other websites. it really had nothing to do with any of that shit you just wrote
Damn, that guy straight sounded like Pac. He could easily release a track and people would think its Pac.
The difference was Ali was released in theatres. This will be STV, or STBET.
Gillie killed it for from the start. The dude is try hard. Please man shut the fuck up. Why people talk like that, its FAKE. Dats not you! Actin like your a king when you just a chump, NIGGA PLEASE
What rapper is scared of Gillie besides Cassidy??
I would call this movie ‘2pac….If i were ugly’
