(AllHipHop News) Deadpool might be the biggest new thing in the cinematic Marvel Universe, but that isn’t stopping the character from going on a rampage – parody style.
The character, as played by Ryan Reynolds, was supposed to host SNL (in his mind), but went on a rampage when it didn’t happen (making fun of Kanye West’s taped rant).
Last week, Kanye West had an alleged meltdown and it hit headlines everywhere.
We’ve said it here and it’s been said just about everywhere – “Deadpool” is an awesome film. However, for those head cases who still want to be convinced, or those who simply want to say “I told you so,” we thought we’d put together our own list about what it is that makes this movie a dead to rights instant cult classic:
The “Anti” Opening Credit Sequence. Never seen before, but sure to be emulated, the opening credit sequence of “Deadpool” makes no bones about having no love for the establishment or the labels that it bestows on the credit hungry “movie star”. Kudos for setting the tone for this love letter to the folks that live outside the colored lines, or at the very least those who like to think themselves cool enough to thrive in that alternative pool.
It Got Made Gangsta. After almost ten years of “Deadpool” stagnating in development hell at New Line Cinema, in 2014 somebody mysteriously leaked some action sequence test footage that Ryan Reynolds and “Deadpool” director Tim Miller had shot previously as “proof of concept” footage. When it hit YouTube, the fan response was enough to get 20th Century Fox to scoop up what New Line had been neglecting to act on. Could it have been Reynolds who did it? We’ll never know, but somebody over at New Line is feeling all kinds of ass right about now.
Breakout Use Of Sex as an Effective and Eye Catching Way To Convey The Passage of Time in a Relationship Between Two Hot Consenting Adults. Pretty much enough said. Why on earth has no one ever thought to do this before? Who knows… but it’s pretty unconventionally cult brilliant.
Breaking The Fourth Wall Like a Boomerang And Not Giving A Damn. For those who like their revenge flicks Kurosawa style with a dash of that modern Tarantino worthy swing, this film goes very far to give viewers a signature 360 Deadpool curated commentating experience straight from the point of view of our anti-hero.
Finding New Kick Ass Female Talent. Two words – Morena Baccarin. To see her is to love her in this movie. She’s just that cool that ladies want to be her and guys want to… be Deadpool – if you know what we’re saying here. It doesn’t hurt that she looks like a modern reincarnation of Sophia Loren either.
Female Characters That Are Tough But Not Stiff. Morena Baccarin isn’t the only cool female in this movie who knows how to crack some tennis balls and then some. Gina Carrano is a doing what she does best as the wickedly invincible Angel Dust, and Brianna Hildebrand is too much fun as the authentically bored but dutifully effective Negasonic Teenage Warhead. As if all teenagers aren’t this way, right?
Best Buddy Scene One on One Bonding Over An Infant Appendage. You just have to trust us on this one. Just know that as a nod to other beyond cool female characters, this scene involves the always-incredible Leslie Uggams as Blind Al. It’s so good, you just get the shivers again and again.
Best Sidekick “We’re All In This Together” Realism. Why is it in so many hero movies that the best friend is only a quality best friend if they want to be the equivalent of a ride to die chick? I don’t know about you, but if I’m Joe Blow and my bestie is Superman, he best handle his own biz, cause you only live once and I’m a lover not a fighter when it comes to superhero grown folk problems. To that end, Deadpool and his right hand man Weasel, played in winning fashion by the always expressively deadpan T.J. Miller hits it right on the head.
Best Update Of Bonding With Your Cabbie. The Use of Taxi Cabs in Deadpool is an unexpected nod to Deadpool’s never leaving much of a carbon footprint anywhere, which is just so green for an antihero…. unless of course he’s blowing up a building or a highway. But the real gem in this movie is the teacher student relationship set up between Deadpool and Dopinder, his trusty go to cabby, played with innocent aplomb by Karan Soni. Never since Travis Bickle has bonding been so effortlessly sweet yet twisted between anti-hero and protégé.
Not Letting Our Favorite Songs From The Late 80’s Die. Deadpool’s respect for WHAM’s “Carless Whisper” is truly something special, not to mention that the movie dusts off Salt–N-Pepa to much deserved effect. Being All Hip Hop, we had to give a holla back for that one.
(AlHipHop News) A judge ordered 50 Cent back to court to explain several p#### displays of wealth on social media.
In the images, the rapper showed of stacks of money.
Judge Ann Nevins questioned the 40-year-old mogul’s true financial status, as he has filed for bankruptcy.
“I’m concerned about allegations of nondisclosure and a lack of transparency in the case. There’s a purpose of having a bankruptcy process be transparent, and part of that purpose is to inspire confidence in the process,” the Judge said in court Thursday.
Three images are the primary source of concern. One of them show him cuddling with money, the other has him with piles of cash and other spelled out the word “BROKE” in money.
On Instagram, the rapper also reportedly claimed to have purchased a home in Africa.
Shade 45’s DJ Whoo Kid and SNL’s Jay Pharoah interviewed Snoop Dogg and Snoop is very loose lipped about the possibility of a Dr. Dre x Kendrick x Eminem x Snoop tour. He also speaks on Cam Newton storming out of the Super Bowl press conference and was very outspoken on his Presidential endorsement.
This was almost a throwback video of sorts, kind of like a toned down, college version of Cam’ron “Horses an Carriages” video. Anyone remember that? Well either way, Makonnen makes the ladies go crazy in this one. Check the pool party/music video below!:
It’s one of the most popular songs on radio right now and Drake stans are at an all time high after NBA All-Star Weekend – you might must spontaneously combust when you see this. Check the heated visual below until the full visual drops on Monday.
(AllHipHop News) Raised against Oakland’s revolutionary backdrop, Sway Calloway, has earned professional distinction as one of Hip-Hop’s most respected cultural critics. Recently, AllHipHop exclusively learned his stance on the Black Panthers, the country’s reactions to Beyoncé’s Super Bowl half-time show, and the subject of Donald Trump protesting Bey’s provocative imagery.
Honesty wrapped his words as he explained his perception of the Panthers. “People tend to perpetuate a lot of the negatives that took place with that organization. And every organization may have that, but the Panthers did a lot of empowerment for Black folks. It made people proud to be Black in a time where the country wasn’t really celebrating that,” he said.
To delve deeper into the discussion he then added, “I think Rudy Giuliani’s and Donald Trump’s — and whomever’s — protest of Beyoncé’s performance is great! I think that’s excellent; keep talking about it.” The Hip-Hop expert praised B for having cultivated the courage to take a stand.
“Good for Beyoncé. That’s an entertaining song, but she found a way, through imaging to really stir things up and become a disruptor, Sway stated, “She doesn’t have to do that. She could have done something lollipop. And I appreciate that. That makes her a Revolutionary. You put it all on the line when you go against the status quo.”
Viewed as a catalyst for continued debate, Sway believes “this conversation is only going to extend the conversation that we’ve been needing to have for decades.”
It’s great that Beyonce used the biggest platform in entertainment to make folks talk about something that they’d otherwise like to sweep under the rug. Finally a smile lifted the edges of his mouth. He then shared, “I’m enjoying it. I get to talk about it on my radio show every morning. It’s cool.
Check out the full clip to get the details on Sway’s film projects, The Cycle. The narrative film — which was complete the day before Michael Brown lost his life to police violence — tackles the tough topic of “the disparity and the relationship between police and officers and our communities.”
People are quick to stop talking, but it’s important that we continue to talk.– Sway
