Idris Elba Working On Takers Mixtape
Tuesday, August 10 2010 1:55 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, FocusBesides doing his thing on camera, actor Idris Elba’s a heck of a DJ. He spun at Dream’s listening session back in June and was pretty impressive. Anyway, he tells 1515 that he wants to release a mixtape in conjunction with the film, Takers.
“Takers mixtape; the film comes out on the 27th. I’m gonna put the tape out the same day as the film. I’m gonna get superstar records on there, some exclusives,” Elba continued. “But I’m also trying to get some people that follow me on Twitter, people that have been following and supporting ‘Takers’ to submit a couple records on the mixtape. Hopefully, it’ll be on Mixtape [Daily]. You can review the jam for me. I’ll throw a couple of my own songs on the jam, too — so be careful.”

Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
great fukin actor
“review the jam” “I’ll throw a couple of my own songs on the jam” , Just by this niggas slang I can tell his “jams” are gonna suck.
However…
Acting wise Stringer Bell, one of the best characters ever!
wow its real weird to hear his normal voice
I just re-lived Stringer Bell’s murder about a week ago. Obviously, I’m enjoying The Wire again for the umpteenth time. Omar and Brother Mouzone ain’t no joke.
Shouts to Idris Elba. This nigga held his own in The Wire. Coincidentally I just finished the 4th season at this minute! Fucking awesome show. Man I cannot believe The Wire did not get its due that it deserved.
this guy fucking sucks
