after much deliberation and a thorough google images search, i’ve concluded that african-american actors mekhi phifer and omar epps are in fact are the same damn person .

really. i wikipedia’d both of them. they both grew up in NYC, raised in single parent households by mothers who were teachers. they’re the same age, born merely months apart. they’ve both been cast in similar roles. still don’t believe me? allow me to elaborate.

they’ve both played hip hop enthusiasts; omar played a young quincy, aka "Q," an up-and-coming dj who somehow got caught up with a reckless tupac and his juice , while you may remember have seeing mekhi alongside mr. mathers in 8 mile , with a set of faux sh!tlocks dreadlocks. the same thing goes for the two as

basketball stars (epps in love and basketball , mekhi in O ). even their filming patterns are strikingly similar, as each of them have acted in somewhere between 22 and 25 movies. also have both successfully stepped out of that role and took doctor roles on the hit drama ER. granted, they were on the show at different times (omar in the late ’90’s and phife dawg is on it like right now i think), but you see what i’m saying!? how aren’t these guys the same? i wouldn’t be surprised if they both dated sanaa lathan at some point in time. not saying she’s a roller, but i’m just saying. they’ve managed to co-exist in hollywood, despite their similarities.

i like omar because he has substantially more swag, but i think at this point in the game, mekhi has a steady paycheck coming in. i hate to say this, but omar needs to stop doing those BET blackbuster joints and get back to the silver screen. immediately. join larenz tate, will smith, denzel washington, terrence howard, cuba gooding jr., and morgan freeman as the last successful black actors standing, because they’re getting gorilla zoe type money. well, actually…i don’t know about larenz. that man needs to get his money back up. i haven’t seen him star in a film since dead presidents , and i haven’t seen him since crash . and he or his crew always ends up getting shafted in every movie. i dare you to name one where that doesn’t happen.

but like i said, my main point is that there’s no real difference, and they should be a package, dubbed mekhi epps. or omar phifer. why not get together and make more money, like the dude on the clipse’s "hello new world " was mumbling about. you clipse fans know exactly what i’m talking about! it’s like 3 minutes deep in the track. that OG was so sincere.

and that’s how i’m going. am i alone on this one? let me know.
