I wouldn't call what Rob Zombie does as finding success behind the camera. I thought the Devil's Rejects was honestly the worst piece of trash I've ever witnessed. I was so disguested by it I didn't finish watching it I just took it out of the DVD player and threw it in the garbage.

Well, my argument wasn't about the quality of Rob Zombie's movie. After all, that kind of thing is subjective and even Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks have made poor films.
The argument is merely that people like Rob Zombie--his recent film made almost $80 million--and Fred Durst are getting a chance to spread their wings when they cross over into the world of movies. They aren't acting in films, they're writing and directing them. That's a much more significant transition in terms of moving from music to the film.

TODAY RAPPERS ARE GOING WHERE THE MONEY IS AT. THEY ARE ACTING, WRITING, PRODUCING, AND WANT TO BE THE HEAD BOSS EXECUTIVES ALREADY. THEY LIKE TO BE IN THE BUSINESS AREA, WHERE THEIR IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY. THEY LIKE TO DO MULTI- TASK THINGS, SO IF RAP/MUSIC DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE THAN THEY HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO FALL ON. THEY OWN BUSINESSES, PERFUME LINE, CLOTHING LINE, THEIR OWN TV SHOWS AND ECT. THEY INVEST THEIR MONEY WISELY.
