Nas is doing things B.I.G.! Not only does he have a fellowship with his name attached, but now, he’s executive producing a film that reports teens in South America, Africa and Asia that convey their love for hip-hop through break dancing. PLUS – the film will have all original music from the, “Ether” rapper himself. The Shake the Dust titled documentary will be directed by, Adam Sjoberg. I’m ecstatic! Hit the jump for a quick preview.
This guy is a man of many talents. Childish Gambino is not only a performer, but a writer for the show, 30 Rock as well as an actor in Community. He’s taking these skills, and extending them. The born in California, but raised in Georgia native will write, executive produce, and be the leading star in a new FX comedy. Hit the jump for details.
I’m wondering what else does Mr. Carter have going on in his professional career, because this one was very much under the wraps. “The Great Gatsby” is the film directed by Baz Luuhrman, stars Leonardo Dicaprio (SEXYNESS), and executive producing the music will be the Jigga Man. The Blueprint rapper will assist Luuhrman in producing a “modern jazz” feel for the up-coming movie. Every since Leo hooked up the two (Jay-Z and Luuhrman), they’ve teamed up to “capture, translate and contrast the feelings of Fitzgerald`s decadent era with that of our own, using hip-hop and jazz, music contemporary and period, to bring two distinct American moments to simultaneous life,” according to the press release from Reuters. I guess congratulations are in order, so CONGRATULATIONS. All I need is some passes for the viewing of the movie – right next to Leonardo Dicaprio. Drop down bottom for more on the story.
You know these kinds of people come out of the woods once you make a name for yourself, but apparently this guy is a little bit crazy since Jeezy doesn’t even know him. Demetrius Ellerbee is suing Young Jeezy for $5MiL claiming that he assisted with the release of multiple mixtapes together, executive producing Jeezy’s Def Jam studio albums, and some other allegations. Demetrius says that him and the “Thug Motivation” rapper have known each other since 1995 and that they are even “best friends.” Jeezy says he’s never even met the dude. How can you forget your best friend? One of the two are lying for sure. Why is this dude in Jeezy’s “A Hustlerz Ambition” documentary (around the 26min mark) if he doesn’t know him? Drop down bottom and scoop this out.
