Mark Wahlberg experienced some success as the rapper Marky Mark before transitioning to acting full time. But some wondered if Wahlberg would’ve become like rapper Eminem if he remained a music artist.

Wahlberg was becoming a popular act when he and his brother formed the hip group Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Their 1991 debut record, Music for the People, was a hit, although their sophomore effort You Gotta Believe didn’t enjoy the same success. Eventually, the group disbanded, but Wahlberg continued his rap career for quite some time before devoting all of his attention to acting.
By the time he retired from music, Eminem was making his debut. And as Wahlberg rose up the ranks in Hollywood, the 8 Mile star was quickly becoming one of hip hop’s top artists.
