City Of Compton.
Give ‘Em Heller.
Niggaz With Acting.
Cube, Eazy, Dre.
Well not really, but thanks to Jimmy Fallon and a mash up of clips of the NBC anchor, here’s the late show’s parody of Brian Williams rapping to Warren G and Nate Dogg’s classic. N.W.A. and Snoop after the jump. Regulators, mount up.
Two of Hip-Hop’s most influential groups may soon march their way into the music museum in Cleveland. Along with Donna Summer and The Marvelettes, N.W.A. and Public Enemy have been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Ceremony takes place at L.A.’s Nokia Theatre on April 13. Good luck, brothers.
It’s been over two years since word got out about the N.W.A bio-pic. John Singleton was rumored to direct, but nothing ever materialized. Nine months later, F. Gary Gray is steering the ship and tweeted the name of the movie for an open casting. If it weren’t for the age requirement, Elliott would be a shoo-in for DJ Yella.
The N.W.A. film has been in talks for quite sometime. Recently, director John Singleton told The Playlist he’s in talks with reuniting with Ice Cube to direct the flick and that New Line is interested. “I can’t talk too prematurely about the stuff I’m doing because nothing’s come to fruition yet, but Cube and I are talking about doing the N.W.A. story… The script is really, really good, and so we’re just figuring it out. New Line really wants to make it.” tlf

During her interview on UK comedy show, The Graham Norton Show, she decided to show off her skills by rapping “Straight Outta Compton”—crazy muthafucka name Paltrow. complex
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
