(10/22/03, 10 a.m. ET) -- Rapper Fat Joe has appeared in several movies, including Empire, Prison Song, and Thicker Than Water, but in his forthcoming role in Scary Movie 3--opening Friday (October 24)--the rapper didn't have to flex his acting chops as he basically played himself.

The rapper explained his scene to MTV.com, saying: "I'm just playing myself. They took a scene from 8 Mile. Homeboy Simon Rex is supposed to be like Eminem, but he really ain't Eminem. He's a white boy from the farm. They told me to battle him, so I took it to the Bronx right quick. I battle him onstage. He's the worst. He was the worst for real. It's funny 'cause I thought they was setting me up. On the drive over to the set, I was on the tour bus writing my rhyme to the beat, and I was like, 'Watch them get this super-lyrical white boy to tear me down.' But he was actually horrible."

Scary Movie 3 was directed by David Zucker and stars Ja Rule, Queen Latifah, Anthony Anderson, Charlie Sheen, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, and Denise Richards.

In related news, Fat Joe is currently overseeing the completion of Tony Sunshine's debut set, which will be released on Jive Records. The rapper will also be working on the sophomore set from the Terror Squad in the coming months.
