What is "act a fool"

vb. (context intransitive English) to play the fool

Act a Fool is the debut album by West Coast hip hop artist King Tee. It is considered to be one of his better albums. Its success can be attributed to its production which is handled by DJ Pooh and King Tee himself, or the lack of guest appearances. King Tee is the only vocalist on the entire album—aside from Breeze and Mixmaster Spade on "Just Clowning--and his rhymes are described as "[d]efiant, angry, confrontational, and bemused" by Ron Wynn of Allmusic. Act a Fool reached Billboard 200 chart position (#125). Its title track reached #29 on the Hot Rap Singles chart, and "Bass", which is remixed on this album, reached #19 on the same chart.

Five of the eleven tracks on King Tee's debut album were later included on his greatest hits album, Ruff Rhymes: Greatest Hits Collection, in 1998.

"Act a Fool" is a single by Ludacris from the soundtrack for the 2003 film 2 Fast 2 Furious and his fourth album Chicken-n-Beer (UK version). It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media but lost.
