With Nas’s looming release, the “Nigg*r” movement is officially in full force. After eight months of unbelievable expectations and being the subject of more talk and press than Brangelina, Nas is set to drop Untitled on July 15th. And with a week left until it hits stores, the album has been leaked in its entirety […]
I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’ve been watching the trailers for Hancock for ages now. Over and over again in theaters, on TV and online I’ve seen the title character— a perpetually pissed-off superhero dressed to the nines in the very best homeless chic—mouth off to innocent civilians, toss a little […]
Nick Catchdubs, DJ A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold Records partner/fellow DJ, describes A-Trak’s Running Man: Nike+ Original Run mixtape as one with a lot of “untz untz” and “beep beep.” As nondescript as it sounds, it’s hard to pinpoint the 45-minute set any better.
The first two months of the summer blockbuster season have already included two Marvel movies, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. In a post-credit scene of Iron Man, an eye-patch-wearing Samuel L. Jackson makes a cameo as Nick Fury, the superspy leader of S.H.I.E.L.D, and informs Tony Stark of his plans for an “Avenger Initiative.” […]
From Iron Man to The Incredible Hulk to Hellboy II to The Dark Knight, comic book movies are all the rage this summer, so it’s a little odd that Universal isn’t pushing the comic connection with their new action flick Wanted, which blasts its way into theaters this weekend.
Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. has come a long way from being that skinny Chicago kid asking to “borrow a dollar.” The rapper-turned-actor better known as Common has amassed quite the Hollywood resume appearing in hardcore flicks like American Gangster and Street Kings to showcasing his softer side as Sir Ivy in Smokin’ Aces.
Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Cam’ron, Ghostface, The Game, Nas, Kanye West, and now T.I. The list of rappers that 50 Cent has gotten into it with reads like the waiting list at a Maybach dealership. He’s flirted with Jay-Z but won’t invite him to dance just yet. Now that Lil Weezy is the million-unit […]
As a long time Nas fan I was trying not to have the reactionary dry heave at the announcement that his latest CD was going to be named Nigger. I wrote it off as a marketing stunt equivalent to 50 Cent beefing with a rapper weeks before his next project debuts. A proverbial grain of […]
One of cinema’s most beloved stoner-turned-dealers is keeping his status up with a new role on Showtime’s dark comedy Weeds (Mondays, 10pm EST). Yet despite his role as tough dealer Guillermo, actor Guillermo Diaz could be considered the opposite of gangster. The Urban Daily sits down with the amiable Diaz to talk about his new […]
The Eddie Murphy and Shaggy defense seems to still work. In the face of video evidence that allegedly showed him having sex with a teenaged girl R. Kelly insisted that “it wasn’t me.” After deliberating for less than a day a jury agreed.
It’s a gamma ray-winning week as The Incredible Hulk hits theaters this Friday (June 10th) and the popular Marvel character is getting the red (or should we say green) carpet treatment with a multi-platform video game of the same name.
The man. The myth. The legend. Those are the titles that every rapper in the game aspires to have associated with their name. And for the last few years, Lil Wayne has used those words as inspiration to dominate the mixtape circuit with countless guest appearances and body-bag inducing performances that have set the streets […]
