Obviously, artists are still using cassette tapes, and in John Legend‘s case it was a good idea for his song, “Who Did That To You?” Quentin Tarantino says, “A flash drive would have still been sitting in my hotel room,” so cassette tape it is. The director that has created a major buzz with his latest film, “Django Unchained” talks about how Legend’s song ended up on the soundtrack as well as how Jamie Foxx and Rick Ross came together to create “100 Black Coffins.” Rick Ross came to the set, and “We caught a contact high, standing next to his jacket,” Tarantino said. Now that’s LOUD! I think it’s official I have to go watch this movie. I mean it does have Leonardo Dicaprio in it. Drop down bottom see what else Tarantino is talking about. JaaiR (JR)
Rick Ross Added To The List For Possible Oscar Nomination
I’m not sure what the Oscar nominees’ cut offs are, but apparently it’s not too far from their air date of February 24th. For other awards shows like the Grammy’s, your album had to have come out by a certain date (months and months before) to qualify for a nomination. Ross, however, could possibly score one for the 2013 Oscars with his song “100 Black Coffins,” off the soundtrack of the yet-to-be-released Django Unchained movie (out Christmas Day). Though he wouldn’t be the first rapper to take home an Oscar (Three 6 Mafia won in 2006 with “It’s Hard Out Here For a Pimp” from Hustle & Flow; Eminem in 2003 with 8 Mile‘s “Lose Yourself”), his chances are rather slim that he’ll even get a nomination: 1 in 75, to be exact.
