New ‘DPG 4 Life’ Film Coming Soon

Dillinger was joking about his DPG 4 Life biopic following the Straight Outta Compton wave, prepare to be surprised. The tireless one-half of Tha Dogg Pound has been especially active on social media as of late and he’s been revealing some key components to the biopic. Such as the actors who are set to play Tupac Shakur, Nate Dogg and Suge Knight in full costume.

“F*c what they talking bout…,” Daz captioned in a message to all his recent critics. “Tell that to the ones who’s making a film who wasn’t there…I call ’em bootleggers. I was there…I know what it [supposed] to look like and sound like. Remember I’m still alive and I’m the music producer to ‘Ambitionz [Az A Ridah]” and ‘[I Ain’t] Mad @ Cha,’ so f*cc ya,” he said, adding a “LOL” at the end.

The latter two references were to the O.G. rapper’s contributions to 2Pac’s diamond-selling All Eyez On Me album. In a separate Instagram post, Daz was adamant that DPG 4 Life is not a sequel to Straight Outta Compton.

As for the casting, the actors have since been revealed as DaDa as Tupac Shakur, Azad Arnaud (an apparent relative of Daz, whose real name is Delmar Arnaud) playing Daz Dilli, Reggie Noble (no, not that Reggie Noble) as Suge Knight, Melvin Jackson Jr. as Kurupt Young Gotti, and Curtis Young Jr. taking a page out of the Straight Outta Compton script and portraying his own father, Dr. Dre. Some unnamed “homey” has also been nabbed to play Nate Dogg.

TV Judge Joe Brown Sent To Jail For Contempt

“Judge Joe Brown” aired from 1998 to 2013

Former TV judge Joe Brown found himself on the other side of the law this week. Brown was booked into jail Thursday, August 28.

According to William Gupton, the Director of the Shelby County Corrections Center, former judge Joe Brown is booked and in a cell alone in a protected area from other inmates. This is a standard procedure for any inmate who might be threatened by inmates at the facility.

Brown will serve a five-day jail term.
Earlier this week, an appeals court reaffirmed a lower court’s decision to uphold Brown’s jail sentence for contempt of court.

He was charged after he lashed out at a magistrate in the juvenile court back in march of 2014. Brown was helping a woman with a custody case.

Brown claimed the magistrate had neither the legal standing to hear the case nor reprimand him.

You may remember, this happened during his failed attempt to run for Shelby County D.A.

LAPD Says ‘Straight Outta Compton’ Portrayal Puts Them At Potential Risk For Violence

Legendary rap group NWA is still making headlines and causing controversy years after their debut album hit the streets in the late 80s.

Apparently some LAPD officers are livid over the release of the Universal biopic “Straight Outta Compton” that follows the rise and fall of legendary Los Angeles rap group NWA. The movie emphasized how the group responded to the Rodney King beatings in 1991 and how they challenged white police brutality.

Former Los Angeles City Councilman and former LAPD officer Dennis Zine says, “It’s a terrible time to release a movie like this. It adds fuel to the fire for hating cops.” Some LAPD officers specifically blame Universal Studios for releasing a movie like this during such fragile times between peace officers and the communities they are trying to protect. They say that the movie company is only looking to seek profits from otherwise tragic events.

Despite the fact that many LAPD officers strive to constantly repair the relationships that former police officers have established in disenfranchised communities, the fact that movements like #blacklivesmatter exist is testament to the work that needs to be done. Perhaps what LAPD doesn’t understand is that when Ice Cube shouts “F*ck tha Police”, it is in response to police violence, not encouraging others to take violent actions against police. LAPD should understand that peace is our mutual goal.
