10 Popular Rappers' Disney Alter Egos

Page 2 of 2

6. Chris Brown as Powerline (A Goofy Movie)

There wasn't an admirable enough villain to use for this movie, but we couldn't help but notice Powerline's likeness to Chris Brown. Like, didn't he perform this exact routine at the VMAs this year?

7. Cam'ron as Hades (Hercules)

Hades was a New Yorker - he had to be. That's how we know he's our favorite villain ever. He was fast-talking, quick-moving, and knew he was cooler than the goody-goods on the "Upper East Side." The scene where he crashed the gods' party, for example: "I haven't been this choked up since I got a hunk of moussaka caught in my throat! So is this an audience or a mosaic?" Cam'ron has the same Harlem charm - it's hard to take him seriously when he drives a pink Range Rover - but he can turn into a real asshole if something doesn't go his way.

8. The Game as Gaston (Beauty and the Beast)

Gaston had a small dick. Sorry, we had to say it. He was an uberman who needed the biggest muscles and the most beautiful girl in town to compensate for what he was lacking. When the beautiful girl didn't get with him, he made up stories about her and made the whole town attack her boo's house. RUDE.

The Game would do something like that. He has been in so many beefs, it's hard to remember who he hasn't dissed. Also, the biggest muscles in the world can't make up for the butterfly tattoo he got on his face.

9. Rick Ross as Governor Ratcliffe (Pocahontas)

Ratcliffe was materialistic, overweight, and only cared about gold. He wore gaudy outfits and lived a life of excessive luxury while the people working under him got minor dunkets. Rick Ross is all about that life: Aston Martins, cocaine money, and yachts.

1. Gucci Mane as Stromboli (Pinocchio)

No one ever really knew what Stromboli was saying. He got angry at Pinocchio and started mumbling incomprehensibly, probably cursing in Italian. This reminds us of Gucci Mane, particularly during the outro of "Pillz" when he mumbles a slew of disconnected phrases with words he's made up. Also, we see a strong connection between Gucci's Bart Simpson chain and Stromboli's puppet show.
