There are many things that draw people into the world of Tech N9ne. His music touches different people around the world. His personality is like none other. When Tech hits the stage, it’s like he is the star of a large Hollywood production. Already a master of his craft, would it be so far fetched for Tech N9ne to consider a career in movies? As recently reported by our blog, Tech N9ne has joined the cast of Night of the Living Dead: Origins 3D. A re-imagining of sorts, Tech N9ne is set to appear in a cameo role. Acting though, is not something new to the Kansas City rapper.

In 2009, Tech appeared as himself in the comedy faux-documentary Life of Lucky Cucumber. Starring Preston Lacy, of Jackass fame, this film was also an independent release. Knowing just how theatrical Tech N9ne could be on stage and in real life, it is no wonder he was cast as himself. Taking that into consideration, its not really a stretch to think that Tech N9ne could one day be cast in a leading role.

Rappers like Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube have been staples of Hollywood films for years. They have found another outlet to express their creativity, not to mention the money to be made. Comedies such as Next Friday and The Wash benefited from the blend of Hollywood and hip hop. In more recent years, rappers like T.I. have found moderate success in a string of films. It has become evident that movie studios are turning to rappers’ drawing power to boost ticket sales in an otherwise uncertain industry.
