(AllHipHop News) While his rap peers have been feuding over ghostwriting and touring, Kendrick Lamar continues to inspire community activism and education. K. Dot’s To Pimp A Butterfly track “Alright” has become a protest anthem, and the West Coast representative’s song is also the inspiration for a new college scholarship.

The Philadelphia based Hip Hop outlet OogeeWoogee has established the “Be Alright” scholarship for a High Tech High School student. Kendrick visited the North Bergen, New Jersey school after English teacher Brian T. Mooney’s blog about including To Pimp A Butterfly in his lessons went viral.

“We always wanted to create a Hip Hop inspired scholarship,” said Wilkine Brutus, content director of OogeeWoogee. “‘Alright’ came at the right time and visit to the high school gave us a concrete idea of what we wanted.”

One High Tech graduate will receive $1,500 for college tuition and books. OogeeWoogee plans to expand the scholarship nationwide in the future.

Students must submit a 2-3 minute video that explains the positive aspects of Hip Hop through rap, poetry, or visual art talents. The submission with the most “likes” and “shares” on OogeeWoogee’s Facebook page will earn the scholarship.

TMZ reports Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Warren G, and Tha Dogg Pound are set to be the subjects of an upcoming movie. TDP member Daz Dillinger told the site a motion picture titled Dogg Pound 4 Life is currently in the works.

The film is said to include N.W.A. members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, but the actors from Straight Outta Compton will not be reprising their roles. However, Dr. Dre’s son Curtis Young is already set to play his father. Cube and Dre are not attached to Dogg Pound 4 Life, but apparently Cube has approved the idea.

Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop Dogg, and 2Pac were all central figures in the rise of Dr. Dre and Suge Knight’s Death Row Records. Knight will be portrayed in Dogg Pound 4 Life, but he is not going to be part of the production of the movie.

Dr. Dre’s Attack On Dee Barnes Was Part Of Original ‘Straight Outta Compton’ Script

(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop journalist Dee Barnes has become one of the most outspoken critics of the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton. Her main point of critique is the fact the film avoided covering Dr. Dre’s alleged assaults on women, particularly the producer’s physical attack against her at a 1991 party.

According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, an earlier draft of Jonathan Herman’s Straight Outta Compton screenplay did include Dre’s assault of Barnes. An exchange between the two characters centered around Dre confronting Barnes about an interview she did with Ice Cube, who at that point was feuding with his former group.

The script reportedly featured:

“Saw that sh*t you did with Cube. Really had you under his spell, huh? Ate up everything he said. Let him diss us. Sell us out.”
“I just let him tell his story,” Barnes’ character retorts, “That’s what I do. It’s my job.”

“I thought we were cool, you and me,” Dre fires back. “But you don’t give a [expletive]. You just wanna laugh at N.W.A, make us all look like fools.”

The graphic scene ended with Barnes throwing a drink at Dre, and he then began “flinging her around like a rag-doll, while she screams, cries, begs for him to stop.”

Director F. Gary Gray has stated the filmmakers cut several scenes from Straight Outta Compton in order to mainly focus on N.W.A. The movie’s original running time would have been over three and a half hours.

Dr. Dre pleaded no contest in the attack on Barnes. The parties settled a civil lawsuit out of court for an undisclosed amount. Barnes claims she did not even receive a million dollars from the deal and has essentially been blackballed from the music industry.

(AllHipHop News) Eazy-E was a rapper, a label head, and apparently a novice comic book creator. According to Deadpool artist and Image Comics co-founder Rob Liefeld, Eazy began working on a project titled The Hood before his death. The concept of the potential book centered around urban men with powers.

“The designs are dated but reflect the time of that era. Youngblood had a huge urban audience with characters such as Sentinel and Chapel,” Liefeld wrote on Instagram. “Would have been a blast to complete, but Eazy-E had fell out of contact due to complications with his illness.”

Eazy-E passed away in 1995 after being diagnosed with AIDS. The Compton native has become a major topic in entertainment news once again thanks to the success of the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton.

A woman that is suing rapper 2Chainz for calling her a “Thot” is heading to court and repping herself.

Christine Chisholm made the revelation to news station WBTV in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Chisholm explained her life after a viral video had 2Chainz and Cap1 calling her a thot.

“I can’t go out in public…Before the video had even started I was in the back room and we were just eating chicken wings,” she explained. “Actually, until the end, I really didn’t even know if they were recording. And I didn’t know that he was gonna post it on the blogs. I was just in shock.”

She said, based on the evidence, there’s little need for a lawyer in court.

“I feel like if I’m just honest with everything that really happened then there’s no reason why I wouldn’t win,” she said. “If I could see 2 Chainz, I would just be like, ‘Where’s my money?’”
