SOULJA BOY PLAYING TUPAC IN BIO PIC???
This just in! Sway Calloway just got an exclusive interview with Soulja Boy yesterday and heard some interesting news. Well all have heard that Soulja Boy will be starring in the remake of the urban cult classic "Juice" playing Tupac Shakur's character Bishop. But he also dropped a bug, on May 11th that he just auditioned for the role of TUPAC SHAKUR himself in a new Biopic about the late great rapper. The film will be directed by Antoine Fuqua and is scheduled to go into production sometime next year. Soulja boy even states, that he does not know if he is willing to play Pac. He is seriously thinking about it and is still in aw about the audition invite. To me this is crazy and ludicrous. I'm still not ok with him playing Bishop in Juice. Somethings should not occur and this is one of them. But this is my opinion. What do you think?
THE GAME'S NEW SONG BANNED FROM TV
Networks thought the video was too gang affiliated and decided not to air it. Gearing up for his latest album, Game has faced a little set back with his "Red Nation" music video. Game released the news that the video was banned from BET and MTV due to heavy gang related content. Not letting the news bring him down, Game statedt that he would release the video himself on Thursday. In a later tweet, he stated that it would be premiering exclusively "on Vevo, AOL and Worldstar."
What do you think about the ban?

50 CENT HEAD PHONE DEAL IS OFF
Sleek Audio has terminated its partnership with G-Unit Brands, Inc., 50 Cent's licensing company. The company had originally planned on releasing a pair of slick wireless headphones called "Sleek By 50". The CEO of Sleek Audio, Mark Krywko, said the company is shifting direction for product development.
“We will be re-evaluating our Wireless Hybrid over-the-ear headphones at a later date. Currently we are working to bring our new, U.S.-made in-ear products to the market,” Looks like "Beats by Dre" will remain as the go-to for rapper endorsed earphones.
STILL WATCHING THE THRONE
Switching hotels was all the dynamic duo needed to intently lay down new tracks. Moving from the Mercer hotel to the luxurious Tribeca Grand hotel, Jay-Z and Kanye vigorously worked on the completion of Watch the Throne. Acccording to reports, the two were working until 7a.m. with "no booze and no Beyonce," so they could stay focused and work on releasing their highly anticipated album. The only time they took a break was to meet with Unversal head honcho Barry Weiss and Kid Cudi, but they went straight to work after the meeting. Looks like Jay and Kanye have this record on lock down!
