No, it must be Breakin' All the Rules since the song he's talking about was release in 2003 and Stealth is from 2005.

[@bluebird7557]

@Ella De Castro I believe the movie he's talking about is Jarhead which is often compared to Full Metal Jacket. Lol...

[@nikc2246]

@@bluebird7557 Jarhead doesn’t have enough bad reviews for him to say “i went and did a bad movie” and most of the bad reviews are from people expecting a different movie before watching. He’s definitely talking about Stealth. Even if it came out in 2005, that was likely due to the time of post production.

[@dru812002]

What bad movie did he do?

[@enigmatic474]

i'm not sure, but based on the dates (ie. movies he did just before he launched his music career in 2005), i think it was either "Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story" or, most likely, a movie called "Shade".

[@age-ben4910]

+Tom Actually "Slow Jams" was a hit single in 2003 that's when he launched his now successful solo music career. Jamie Foxx is one of the most talented people in show business. He has won Grammys for music and an Oscar for his acting. He also had a couple of hit T.V. shows with In Living Color & The Jamie Foxx Show. He also plays piano very well and did stand up comedy for several years before his movie career.

[@miguelrivoch]

I think it is Breakin' All the Rules

[@JustMe-mh2pn]

Knowing Kanye West, not a personal distinction!
