Brown Sugar is the best Hip Hop movie that ever has been made. Mos Def and Queen Latifah had supporting roles. Also the soundtrack is incredible...common eryka badou love of my life! :wiggle:

« A Fallen Soldier's Faith | Main | Paula Abdul gets Extra Friendly Skies » Sheriff on 50 Cent and Eminem As promised here are more excerpts from my conversation with Sheriff Bill Young about his attempt to get gangster rap banned from Las Vegas resorts as what he calls "a crime prevention" strategy: Q: Someone like Snoop, in Vegas, is likely to attract a bunch of tourists from the California suburbs who want to see the concert. A: That may be true. But do we really want to sell that as the way we make our money in this town? We really only have one business, and that is entertaining people here and showing them a good time. If we have a reputation for entertainment that is going to cause negative consequences like violence and shootings, what is it we are trying to accomplish here? Q: How do you define gangster rap? A: I am not the proper person to define it in particular. I kind of leave that up to the promoters and the people that stage these types of events what the content of it is. I know—I raised three kids who listen to this—there is a big difference between rap and hip-hop and what I call gangster rap. I know Will Smith. He is a fine guy. He is a funny guy. He is a rapper. He doesn't go around making albums called 'Cop Killer' or promoting putting his wife on the street to work her as a prostitute, or selling drugs as the right thing to do. So, while my knowledge of that particular genre is somewhat limited I know there is a difference. I would start with 50 Cent— Q: Who played House of Blues at Mandalay Bay about three years ago— A: —and we had a near riot there and fight there that we couldn't control. Define it any way you want, my friend. I am not going to argue with you. I am responsible for the safety of this community, and if I know that in the aftermath of these concerts we are going to have shootings, murders and killings: Why are we having them here? I don't think we should be selling violence here in our tourist corridor. That's not Vegas. We are not a town that sells violence. It is the inability of us to prevent violent acts that are occurring around these folks. I am linking A to B. Q: Does someone like Eminem concern you, too? A:Well, Eminem's product, from what I've heard, has a combination of a lot of these things. Correct me if I am wrong; I am not an expert on these things. Q: Well, I'd say he is not a gangster but on one typical song he talks about killing his wife. A: Yeah, well, personally, I don't think we have a place selling that as a product here. Q: Do you have any objection to the music being played here like a club spinning "In Da Club" by 50 Cent, or is it just the concerts and events featuring the rappers? A: I am worried about the aftermath of events. This is America, and I love that people can listen to whatever they want. Like I said before, I like the Sheriff and he seems far more open minded in conversation than this may read. But, despite his earlier claims, what he says here, I think, shows clearly his reaction has more to do with the content of the music than any crimes being caused at these events in the tourist areas. While the local rap scene has been plaugued by violence, there has never been a shooting death inside a casino resort related to a rap event. And, as noted before on the Buffet, there are very few of these events in the first place especially considering the massive commerical success of the genre. Rap shows by top artists on the charts are almost never held in any casino resort. For example, 50 Cent and Eminem have done their last two public concerts at a local stadium. But I did see Eminem perform at the Venetian a couple years ago; he was doing a private concert at a convention to convince clothes buyers to order his line of sweats, caps and shirts. There was no violence just commerce. Reminder: Tupac Shakur was killed after a boxing match. No one is talking about banning boxing. photo by Fred Prouser/Reuters March 03, 2006 at 06:57 AM | Permalink http://vegasblog.latimes.com/vegas/2006/03...ff_on_50_c.html

T 3 wasn't that good so i'm glad he jumped off the project as an director...ang lee would be dope as hell! i guess michael mann will do it! :wickedwisdom:

Fat Joe got mad respect for Will...In the Vibe magazine he called Will a hip hop legend...this was around the time when will was nominated for an oscar and wrote hip history!

Great interview! Nice to see that LL gets a lot of props for his work! Will is similar to LL but Hip Hop community shows him not the same respect as LL! Sad but true!

Wow thats great news!

The last point is why I don't mind Will acting. He's a black man projecting a positive image of black men. I absolutely agree with max fly!

Dr. Dre's beats are great, they aren't on the same level as on the chronic but still better than 75% of the rap game!

Oops i guess i have chosen the wrong words in the undertitle of the topic... i just wanted to say that it hasn't been just a Kanye/Mariah show as a lot of people expected!!!

Check this vibe article out http://www.vibe.com/news/online_exclusives...g_twins_i_wish/ Ying Yang Twins: I Wish... By: Frances Crooks November 28, 2005 In the January issue of VIBE, various artists were asked what they wished happened in 2005. Read the full transcript from our interviews with Ciara and the Ying Yang Twins. VIBE: Complete this sentence: This year, I wish… Ying Yang Twins: The administration would have listened and evaluated the New Orleans situation when they said something. What do you wish was different about the American government? I wish they looked out for AMERICANS more!! What songs do you wish you had written this year? Or wish you had produced? “Back Then” by Mike Jones. Which concerts do you wish you had attended this year that you didn't get a chance to? Vibe Fest. What places do you wish you had performed at? Why? Usher's “Rebuild the Hood” concert. He is from Atlanta and we are from here. It would have been crunk. What hobbies do you wish you had more time to pursue? No hobbies. Just hanging with my kids more. What other musical skills do you wish you had? Producing. What movies do you wish you had seen this year? Or gotten a role in? “Four Brothers.” What are the outfits you wish you never sported? When and where? I don't wear nothing I don't like. What relationship skills do you wish you were better at? Phone conversation. I don't like talking on the phone. Where would you like to visit and why? Africa. I heard it is beautiful. Which celebrity's party do you wish you went to this year? Or wish you had not attended? ie. Diddy's all white affair. Young Jeezy’s birthday party at Visions. What do you wish you never bought this year? Why? A ring. I lost it. What were you hoping to accomplish this year, but you didn't? Getting our TV show. What song were you hoping to hear a remix for this year? “Back Then.” Who? Mike Jones. What track do you wish you could've been on this year? “Back Then.” Who? Mike Jones. Who do you wish you could've dated this year? Nobody. What team do wish won the NBA finals this year? I don't watch sports. What question(s) do you wish people would have quickly quit asking you this year? Where are you from and our album is called United State of Atlanta? What celebrity do you wish you met this year? WILL SMITH. What's the one trend that you could've did without this year? None. What's one thing that you wish people could've learned about you this year? Unity. That is what I am about. What's some of the things that you wish you didn't do this year? Loss my driver's license. You know what it is!!!! Who do you wish you could have vacationed with this year? Nobody. What's one charitable thing that you wish you could've done this year or did more of? More concerts for kids. What do you wish to get for Christmas this year? I don't know. What thing or person would you say made the biggest impact on your life this year? Starting my own label. Who do you wish you could've seen more or less this year? WILL SMITH, MORE. What artist do you wish would have came back this year? Kilo from ATL. What's one song on your album that didn't get radio play, that you wish got some spins on the air? “Live Again.” What do you wish your cell phone could have done this year? Less ringing. What's the new year resolution you made for 2005, that you wish you followed through with? To follow through with my new year resolution when I make it. If you were granted on wish for 2005, that would come true right now, what would you wish for? To heal the world.

It was clear that a track like Mr. Niceguy got to be on the album since he signed to Interscope. Jimmy Ivoine's marketing tactics include such a thing. Beef to create a hype about the album and a pop-rap single at first so that the album sells.

http://community.allhiphop.com/showthread.php?t=195970 when i saw this i was like :2thumbs:

Will signing to J-Records would be awesome...Alicia Keys and Angie Stone are on that label too. The only would rapper right there is Cassidy and he has had so far just limited success.

He should released it as the first single! :kekeke:
