Site Moving...
Author: RL
I'm going to be down for a couple weeks (maybe sooner?). I've been prepping to launch the brand new site for the past month, so stay tuned here and I will post a link to the new site as soon as it launches.
Thanks to everybody who visits on a regular basis.
What a bunch of shit this is. I mean...OK Dana White and Tito don't get along, but he was the figurehead of the company as they were becoming more mainstream. The least they could do being this is his last appearance in the UFC is give him some press time.

Why have I had thing for this chick since I was literally a kid? You gotta give Timberlake his due man...Alyssa, Janet, Cameron Diaz (ehhh) and now Jessica Biel?
Shit...I would've been fine with just this.

Axel Foley Is Back
Author: RL
I mean...Sly brought Rocky & Rambo back, so why not good ol' Axel Foley?? Both Eddie Murphy & Brett Ratner are attached to bring another Beverly Hills Cop movie to the silver screen.
I really don't know where they can go with the movie, but I guess thats why we have "writers". The film is supposed to begin production in 2009 with a 2010 release (how old with Eddie be by then?).
Here's one of my fav scenes of all the Beverly Hills Cop movies:

Kimbo Makes ESPN Mag Cover (Wow)

Insane...
Dana White has to be looking at this dude just off of his marketability considering he's been bad mouthing Kimbo's MMA venture to date. But don't be surprised if you see Ol' Slice in the Octagon (or Affliction) in the next year.

Author: RLNiko from GTA IV Wants His Money!!!
Author: RL
This is absolutely crazy. So apparently the dude who plays the voice of Niko in GTA IV signed a contract for $100,000 to play the role.
But the funny part is he isn't getting any residuals from the sales of the game which has already surpassed the $600 Million mark (Holy Shit!).
"It's tough, when you see Grand Theft Auto IV out there as the biggest thing going right now, when they're making hundreds of millions of dollars, and we don't see any of it," Hollick told the Times. "I don't blame Rockstar. I blame our union for not having the agreements in place to protect the creative people who drive the sales of these games."
Unlike Music & Film, Video Games have yet to have a set structure as far as residuals or royalties for actors or musicians who have songs or voice over roles on games are concerened (or at least not as concrete).

Spidey to Get A Makeover: Who Will Play Him?
Author: RL
With all the craziness going on with the upcoming comic book films dropping in the next few years, the one that has a lot of people puzzled is the future of the Spiderman series. Just prior to the release of Spiderman 3 it was already rumored that Toby, Dunst, & Raimi would possibly not return for further movies.
So I read recently that they were going to film both parts 4 & 5 simultaneously (which could be dope). But now the question that's coming up is...who will play Spidey??
Well here are 2 candidates that have been put at the top of the list to play the web slinger.
PATRICK FUGIT
MICHAEL ANGARANO
I saw the Angarano kid in The Forbibben Kingdom with Jackie Chan & Jet Li recently. I believe either the kid knows martial arts or was trained very well.
The question now is...who are they lookin at to play Mary Jane?

Xzibit Loses Infant Son
Author: RL
Wow I just got around to reading about this. I can't imagine what X to the Z is going through right now. My condolences to his entire family.
The veteran announced the news through a MySpace blog post, stating, "I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when I'm having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids, if you have them. Protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them. Don't take a second you get to hug them, teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe, but it is NOTHING compared to having your family."
Xavier Joiner was born May 15, and from premature birth, displayed problems with inhaling oxygen. Xzibit added, "I am keeping faith that everything will work out fine. I tell you people, bringing a life into this world right now is a blessing for me. I have had time to focus and put A LOT of shit into perspective over the last few years. And at the end of the day, if you don’t have FAMILY around you ... you don't have shit."

Memorial Day '08 Wrap Up
Author: RL
I usually just chill on Memorial Day Weekend. South Beach is literally minutes away from me, but that shit is just a living breathing headache. But definitely check Nikki Beach if you ever get down there. If you don't mind a lil House music, definitely a chill vibe (Try the Mojito!!!)
So, let's see:
1. Pauli Malignaggi fought over the weekend and was rockin...wait for it...EXTENSIONS!!! But funnier than that visual, his corner actually had to cut his extensions midway through the fight because they were swinging around like Milli Vanilli in the Girl You Know It's True Video (I'm not exaggerating). Granted he took yet another close win, but it locks a Fall match up with him and Ricky Hatton who fought Juan Lazcano in the Main Event in an unimpressive showing. There were 2 points in the fight where Lazcano hurt Hatton bad only for the ref to step in and help Hatton to his corner to get his shoes tied (did I mention the fight was in UK?). He still came away with a win, but this was a clear sign Hatton should not face Mayweather again.
2. UFC 84 was over the weekend. Pretty decent card. The highlight of the night was definitely the video posted below.
3. Oh yea...copped a new whip

Richard Dreyfuss = Dick Cheney
Author: RL
Looks like this Bush movie is really going forward. The Hollywood Reporter released new info regarding Richard Dreyfuss playing our favorite VP Dick Cheney.
Other actors confirmed are as follows: Josh Brolin (President Bush), Thandie Newton (Condoleezza Rice) and Elizabeth Banks (Laura Bush).
The film will be released this October (ironically prior to Election Day) followed by the DVD release in January (when GW finally leaves office). Coincidence??

Myspace Comments: Where Spam Lives
Author: RL
I know I'm not the only one barking up this tree, but seriously...what is with all these artists trying to get recognition off of bombarding mine and millions of other's Comments section with "Buy my album" or "I got new beats!!!"
Real talk, step your online game up. I mean, let's be real...Myspace isn't what it used to be about 2-3 years ago as far as getting "noticed". Today you have to venture out and create your own lane as far as getting your music out on top of the traditional methods.
Part of the reason why I do this blog page is to create another avenue for my music to be heard on a broader scale as well as opening people up to what I'm into besides music (I am human after all).
Bottom line, go the extra mile if you want your music heard. Last time i checked, Myspace wasn't an A&R.

Introducing: Phase One
Author: RL
This is my man Phase One out of the BX. I met this dude on Myspace a few years back and ironically we were within the same circle of people (small world). He's without a doubt one of the most talented dudes I've been around and is a very humble cat, but don't take his humbleness for weakness cause...DUDE CAN RHYME!
Check out some of his vids below:

For those who aren't aware, there is a biopic in production based on the legendary Bob Marley that is set to release in 2010.
Martin Scorsese was set to direct the film but had to back out because of "scheduling conflicts" (usually means money). But news has surfaced that Jonathan Demme, who won an Oscar for Silence of the Lambs (Claaarriisseeee...), will take over Scorsese's role as director. Ziggy Marley will be the executive producer of the film.
Demme is also slated to direct a biopic on George Harrison and former president Theodore Roosevelt.
I can't believe it's taken this long to make a movie on such a legendary figure like Marley. Hopefully it will open more ears to his music as El Cantante did for Hector Lavoe.

Though most of us don't know what goes on behind closed doors, it's pretty obvious Just Blaze & Saigon have been eagerly anticipating their release from Atlantic after about 2 years waiting on Saigon's Greatest Story Never Told album to be released.
Well, they finally got their wish...along with their MASTERS!!!
I'm really glad this album will see the light of day.
