According to TMZ, actor Leonardo DiCaprio was recently videotaped rapping along to Busta Rhymes’ verse on A Tribe Called Quest’s 1991 record, “Scenario.”
Along with Jamie Foxx the actor was present at West Hollywood, California nightclub 1Oak for a party held in honor of promoter Richie Akiva’s birthday.
In an April 2008 issue of Interview magazine, DiCaprio declared A Tribe Called Quest one of his “favorite groups of all-time.” In that same issue of Interview the former Titanic star interviewed A Tribe Called Quest front-man Q-Tip.
And at the top of this year it was revealed that DiCaprio, Q-Tip, and actor Jonah Hill would soon team up to create a television show loosely based on the Native Tongues Movement.
Although DiCaprio did his own performing at Akiva’s birthday party at 1Oak, he recently recruited rappers Kanye West and 2 Chainz to perform at his birthday party late last year at New York City’s TAO Downtown.
2 Chainz, who also made a speech for DiCaprio during the party, sent the following message on Twitter following his performance:
Video of Leonardo DiCaprio rapping along to “Scenario” can be found below.
This is some terrible terrible footage
this crackka looks like he owned slaves
niggas are over 40 years old and will always be the entertainment at the party but never the ones getting entertained, and they are “honored” to do it smh lmao
Elvis, The Beetles, MJ, Biggie, Old Blue Eyes and every entertainer gets paid to perform. Same as you getting paid to wait on customers or unload frieght lol.
Dicaprio is so gangsta. Rappers bow down to him.
Leo is the GOAT actor of our time. It’s cool he respects hip hop.
J. Cole, Kendrick = young GOATs of hip hop. Both of their next albums are going to be classics.
Dreamville is the team
