The article doesn't make any mention of his film and TV career, despite displaying a rather lengthy filmography. The intro should probably say "rapper and actor." For example his small role in Batman & Robin was later confirmed as being the supervillain The Scarecrow who reportedly was supposed to return had there been a fifth Batman film in that series, etc. 2604:3D09:1F74:1C00:1176:D667:F804:28BC (talk) 13:47, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What determines which of his television appearances are relevant enough for note in the subsection of Music Career?
Given it's a subsection of "Music Career," I would assume that most of the mentioned appearances would be ones in which he raps or performs musically, but it doesn't seem to have any throughline. Personally, I'd reduce this down to only reference works in which he performed musical material originating in that work.
There is also a filmography section, but I agree that mention should be made in the introduction of his prolific film/television appearances, since he appeared consistently in media from 1996-2021. Aos Sidhe (talk) 17:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
