A$AP Rocky Discusses $3 Million Deal




A$AP Rocky’s got 3 million reasons to smile. In a recent interview with Pitchfork, he says that he signed with Polo Grounds after accepting a $3 million dollar deal. Money in the bank?


Pitchfork: A lot of rappers are moving away from big record deals and, as recently as last month, it seemed like you didn’t want to sign with a major, either. What changed your mind?

A$AP Rocky: About three million dollars. [Other rappers who don't sign] are smart, but I feel like Sony/RCA is a family and the people there actually care about me. When I came to meet [Polo Grounds Music founder] Bryan Leach, I got to know him on a personal level– he would set up car service for me to go to other labels. He wanted to see me make it. He’s from Harlem.

I’m going to have creative control; there’s no bullshit. The situation is almost unrealistic. I mean, five months ago I had about $3,000 in my bank account. Now I’m worth $3 million. Nobody’s gotten a deal like that since 50 Cent.

50 Cent Talks New Album, Keeping Fans Entertained On Twitter & How Record Companies Can Negatively Affect An Artist's Career [Video]



50 Cent taped an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan on Friday. It will air Monday October 31, at 9PM Eastern.


After the interview, Fif stopped backstage for a quick chat to talk about his influence on Twitter, his upcoming album, record companies and Piers himself.



"He's a great journalist," 50 said of Piers. "He's going to make sure the public gets to hear the answers to questions they would actually be interested in."



Unlike a lot of celebrities, 50 actually interacts with his followers on Twitter. He said that should be expected of all entertainers who use the social networking site.



"It allows you the opportunity to reach your base," said 50. "To create something, as a form of entertainment. I think entertainers are supposed to entertain on it."



The G-Unit boss also discussed his upcoming album and how record companies can negatively affect an artist's career.



"You can make great music and it just goes into a slot where people say 'it was done well, but who cares?' You got older material of artists you listen to and you go back and say 'wow, this person was amazing; what happened to them?' The system happened to them. The business of music itself happened to them," he said. "Sometimes the companies don't prioritize things the actual public thinks are amazing and it just falls to the wayside"



He went on to add that his new album is all but finished. He needs just two songs before the disc is complete.

Eddie Murphy On Rick Ross' Seizures "That's A Good Sign If You Come Out Of The Coma & Go 'Ohhh Chicken Wings' Then You Know You're Alright" [Video]




Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy have been doing a ton of promotional work for their new movie, Tower Heist



During an interview with Global Grind, they were asked where they were when they heard Officer Ricky had suffered two seizures in the same day, then went to the opening of his Wing Stop fast food joint in Memphis the day afterwards.



"So he hasn't had bad seizures if you have one seizure, then after the second one you go to the Wing Stop," Murphy said. "I think Rick Ross is cool. You sure these is real seizures Rick is having? I hope everything is alright. I didn't think that after a seizure nobody want no chicken wings. You wanna go sit down. That's a good sign if you come out of the coma and go 'ohhh chicken wings' then you know you're alright."

Gucci Mane Denied Sentence Reduction, Faces Civil Lawsuit From Woman He Pushed From Moving Car



Gucci Mane's legal troubles don't appear to be going away anytime soon.


The rapper was denied a chance at a sentence reduction when a DeKalb County judge ruled against his attorney's motion. To make matters worse, Gucci was hit with a civil by a woman he pushed her from a moving vehicle when she refused his offer of $150 to go to a hotel.


"He thinks the rules don't apply to him," said the woman's attorney, B.J. Bernstein. She told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that she wants Gucci to be held accountable for his actions.


"He pushed a woman out of a moving Hummer," she said. "Sometimes jail is not enough for some people and some people who have celebrity and the one thing that scares them more than anything else is to go after them civilly."


Gucci's attorney offered to have the rapper give a free performance at the DeKalb County Battered Women's Shelter, but the judge in the case wasn't having it.


"I don't think it would be appropriate to let him out just because he's a rapper," DeKalb State Court Judge Eleanor Ross said.


Gucci, real name Radric Davis, pleaded guilty on September 13, 2011 to two counts of Battery, two counts of Reckless Conduct and Disorderly Conduct for pushing the woman from his vehicle.

Method Man Says 'Watch The Throne' Should Have Been Jay-Z And Nas



Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne album was one of this year's best hip hop offerings. The disc has already been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and a mega tour in support of the project just kicked off in Atlanta last night (October 28).


Could things have possibly gone any better?



If you ask Method Man he would tell you yes. The Wu Tang Clan emcee thinks Nas should have been on the project, not Kanye West.



"I mean, Kanye’s a genius—I love the dude—but Watch The Throne should have been Nas and Jay," Meth told Complex "N*ggas would still be talking about that even if the album was wack. I’m not taking sh*t away from ‘Ye. Kanye and RZA should go in maybe. Maybe Kanye and Dr. Dre. But as far as emcees, Nas and Jay."

Obie Trice Speaks On His Hatred Of Skinny Jeans, Artists He Likes & Lil B " I Hear His Music Is Terrible" [Video]




"Obie Trice, real name no gimmicks."


Former Shady Records artist, Obie Trice stopped by Ms. Drama's radio show while out promoting his forthcoming album, Bottom's Up.



The Detroit emcee had a lot of other things on his mind as well; specifically skinny jeans, artists he's feeling and Lil B.



Ms. Drama: Name something you would immediately change?


Obie Trice: Skinny jeans.



Ok what's your beef on skinny jeans?


That's just like...terrible



By terrible you mean men right?


Yeah, I mean men. Like little young dudes, that's cool. But men...it's not a good look.



From what age should you not be wearing skinny jeans?


I would say over 16. [If you're] 17,18 I would say chill out on the skinny jeans. When you become an adult chill out on the skinny jeans.



So if you could change it you would ban skinny jeans from the hip hop market?


Definitely, from the hip hop market.



What artists do you currently like?


I'm a big fan of Big K.R.I.T., J. Cole. Definitely the Kanye's and Jay.



Who are you not feeling?


What's the one guy's name everybody keeps talking about he calls himself a b*tch all the time?



Oh, you mean Lil B?


Yeah, I never heard his music though, but I heard he's kinda.....



He has a song "H*es On My D*ck Because I Look Like Jesus" that's currently out
.


Serious? [starts laughing hysterically]



And his album he released online is called I'm Gay, but gay meaning happy he says


Oh yeah?



So no collaborations with him in the future then?


Nah, I don't even know his music, but I hear so much about this guy. They talking about this guy like he's terrible though. His music is terrible they're saying.

Gayle King Loves 50 Cent! Shows Off Her Tattoo Of The G-Unit Boss [Video]


50 Cent has made quite an impression on Gayle King.


As  previously reported, the two have already moved past the "get to know each other" stage. Gayle has even told her children that Fif might be their new stepfather.



Yesterday the talk show host took it a step further by getting a 50 Cent tattoo on her arm. She was more than happy to show it off to actor Kal Penn, who was a guest.



"Now this is the thing Kal...50 was here yesterday sitting in that very same chair," she said. "He was here yesterday and I was having a lot of fun with 50, 'cause you'll find I'm a fun girl before this is all over. And I said 'You know what would be funny? Is to get a 50 Cent tattoo on my arm.' So somebody came in this morning and did it. My children will be mortified and horrified, but they're out of town so it's ok."



Of course, all of this was in good fun. The tattoo isn't permanent, but Gayle is genuinely impressed by Fif. She thanked him for having such a great sense of humor and for appearing on her show.

Check out the tattoo in the video below.

 

Samuel L. Jackson Makes Guinness Book of World Records As Highest Grossing Actor Of All Time With $7.4 Billion Earned At The Box Office [Video]



Just call him the $7.4 billion dollar man.


Actor Samuel L. Jackson has been declared the highest grossing actor of all time by the Guinness Book of World Records.



Jackson has starred in some of Hollywood's biggest blockbuster films in his 20 plus year career.



Jurassic Park ($914 million), Pulp Fiction ($212 million) and the Star Wars prequels ($2.4 billion)are among his top earners according to the Chicago Tribune.



In all, Jackson's films have raked in a staggering $7.4 billion dollars, and that figure will continue to rise because the man simply never stops working. He averages four films a year. He's made more than100 films since his 1989 debut in Harold Becker's Sea of Love, where he was billed as simply the "black man."



In 2012 the actor will star as Nick Fury in the highly anticipated movie, The Avengers. That film is expected to do huge box office numbers as well.



Somewhere Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp and Arnold Schwarzenegger are scratching their heads wondering what just happened.



Congratulations to Samuel on a job well done!

Prodigy Talks Book, Wants Denzel Washington To Portray Him In Biopic [Video]

Prodigy's book, My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy, caused a lot of controversy when it released. It touched on a lot of subjects that some of his former associates would have rather left buried in the past.


P told MTV that the backlash was expected.



"I knew that was gonna come," he told Sway. "I was just being real. It wasn't no publicity stunt. It was me being myself and telling my story."


Prodigy already has an actor in mind for the role of himself if thev book ever became a movie.


I’d need a top actor…get Denzel [Washington] or something," he said.



Denzel has definitely proven he can adapt to any role. He has an Oscar for his portrayal of a rogue Los Angeles cop in the movie Training Day to prove it, but he's probably a little too old to play P.



What actor would you pick to play Prodigy?
