Dope Tweetz: Lil Wayne Said He Will Never Work With Birdman Again 

Today’s dope tweetz comes courtesy of rap legend Lil Wayne. —– Let’s be honest, in his tender 33 years and maybe 18 years of rapping, he EARNED that title. He’s definetly held a long lucrative rap career. 

(Side note: For my writer friends who are clue less about Hip Hop happenings, here’s a 2 second rundown.) Lil Wayne and his ex label head, pa, friend, homie etc. — Baby aka Birdman have fallen out about money. $51 million or so. Lil Wayne says Birdman owes him the money, and he wants it now. Hell, he needs it, he’s got a family to feed. 

Things are now so bad between the 2 that Wayne is having nervous breakdowns and damn near ready to quit rappin’. It’s hard to watch. 

Nobody saw this falling out coming. I sure didn’t. But here it is… and it’s ugly.

Aww damn… Free Lil Wayne!

Throwback Special: Oprah Winfrey Visits Racist Atlanta Town Where No Black Person Had Lived For 75 Years

In the following video, Oprah Winfey took her talk show to Forsyth County- Georgia, a town only about 30 miles north of Atlanta, to tackle race relations.
 
In 1987, Forsyth County was proudly an ‘all white’ county and a hotbed for racism fueled by the KKK. At the time, not one black person had lived there for 75 years!

Needless the to say the town ‘locals’ were NOT thrilled to see Oprah (or her show) which had only been on air 5 months at the time. In true KKK fashion they put on their robes, flew their confederate flags, protested and chanted “Go Home N-gger!”

The real tragedy is 30 years later not much has changed in terms of the race relationship between blacks & whites, especially in the south. The question is will it ever?

Demetrius Shipp Jr. Talks His Tupac Role In “All Eyes On Me”

Up & coming actor Demetrius Shipp Jr. had some humongous shoes to fill as Tupac in the new Benny Boom directed film, “All Eyes On Me.” In the video interview below, he speaks on preparing for such an undertaking. 

From the looks of the film’s trailer, Demetrius did a fine job filling those 2Pac shoes. The Internet streets would be ablaze right now otherwise. 

Hope to see the movie out soon. It’s definetly another NWA -type box office smash if they promote it right.
