Casting Call For N.W.A. Biopic Asks For "Poor, Not In Good Shape" African American Women
(AllHipHop News) Sometimes trying to recreate history is a tricky endeavor. Earlier today a casting call post for the upcoming Straight Outta Compton was leaked and revealed their search for out of shape African American women.
The casting call was posted by Sande Allesi Casting and asked for four types of female actresses: A, B, C and D Girls. A and B girls are described as “fine”, “hottest of the hottest” and are required to have real hair. Both A and B Girls ask for light-skinned women, with B Girls being required to be light-skinned and A Girls able to be a variety of skin tones and racial backgrounds. D Girls are described as needing to be “poor, not in good shape” and possessing exclusively “medium to dark skin tone”.
Reps for Sande Allesi Casting informed TMZ that the ad was an “innocent mistake” and has been removed from their official Facebook page.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Swizz Beatz Jockin The Young Boy Mike Will Made It's Swag?
Let me be clear. I didn’t see this until somebody brought it to me. And when they brought it to me they made it seem like maybe Swizz Beatz is was swiping MikeWillMadeIt’s style OR paying some form of homage – OG producer to YG producer. I’m thinking its a coincidence, if you believe in those things.
Peep the image that was pulled off Instagram. Seems like “somebody” thinks something…

Hip Hop Rumors: Couple or Nah? Lil Wayne and Christina Milian Boo'd Up at The ESPYS
Less than a month after calling off the engagement between she and Rap-A-Lot Records CEO Jas Prince, Christina Milian has been spotted out and about a lot with YMCMB leader Lil Wayne.
The latest spotting was last night at The 2014 ESPSY Awards, where Wayne brought Milian as his date. Although the two contend that the relationship is strictly professional, we doubt holding hands with your co-worker would be considered appropriate in the workplace.
They actually make a cute couple, but am I the only one who confuses Milian with Lil Wayne’s ex-fiance’ Nivea? Is it just me? Hmmmm…
Fresh Heat – Lil Waah (Swizz Beatz' Cousin) – "On My Arm"
Lil Waah comes from hip-hop royalty and he is being mentored by his cousin Swizz Beatz, who is apparently very involved with Lil Waah’s upcoming project. Armed with over 2 million Twitter followers from Swizz Beatz, Lil Waah is set to push “On My Arm,” which embodies the elements of a new teen pop-star, energetic with a smooth playful flow it verifies why Lil Waah is not only Ruff Ryders next superstar; but the face of Hip-Hop’s next generation.
After all, Lil Waah was born into a “Hip-Hop Royal Family” with a serious pedigree, which includes his father (Waah Dean), his uncle (Dee Dean) and his aunt (Chivon Dean) all co-founders of the Ruff Ryders enterprise of companies and all played integral roles in launching the careers of DMX, The Lox, Eve, Swizz Beatz, Cassidy and solo releases from all three members of The Lox. At its pinnacle, Ruff Ryders would also go on to release five label compilation projects over the course of a decade; and included 1 Platinum and billboard topping release and 2 projects that went Gold and made debuts on Billboards Top 5 chart.
While he maybe young, Lil Waah’s experience far outweighs his age as he asserts “I just want people to feel me and appreciate my work,” he says. “I take this seriously. I don’t do this because people get paid from it. I really want to change the way music is done.”

Richard Pryor Jr: Nick Cannon Changed My Mind On Him Playing My Father
(AllHipHop News) With the world being in the year 2014 that means that children of deceased legends from the 70’s and 80’s are now grown and able to portray their parents in biopics. According to Richard Pryor’s son, he has been so impressed by Nick Cannon’s dedication to playing his father in an upcoming biopic that he has changed his mind on the rapper/actor.
Pryor Jr initially did not believe Cannon would be able to adequately capture his father on screen for the upcoming Lee Daniels biopic about his deceased father. However, in a recent interview with Daily Mail, the son of one of the greatest comedians of all time stated that
He did the small thing of using his left hand instead of his right hand, he picked up smoking to try and emulate my dad, he’s let his hair grow out. He’s looking into who my dad really was, looking into his childhood, who he was raised by and around, and he is interested in talking to me about who my dad was.
Cannon has not officially been named the lead actor on the as-of-yet untitled Richard Pryor biopic. Pryor’s work is under the control of his widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, a fact that causes concern for Pryor Jr:
She is going to portray herself as angelic when it was the opposite,’ he continued. ‘She’s not a nice lady…My dad’s money took care of him; they didn’t even live in the same home.
Pryor Jr has sent requests to be involved in the process of the film’s production to Jennifer Lee Pryor’s attorneys.
Linda Perry Says Beyonce Takes Credit For Songs She Didn't Write Because She's Beyonce
(AllHipHop News) Beyonce has apparently taken the adage “giving credit where credit is due” in the wrong direction. In a recent Reddit AMA session, fame Rock artist, Linda Perry addressed Beyonce taking songwriting credits for songs she did not write.
According to Perry, Beyonce and other artists similar to Beyonce take songwriting credits for songs they don’t write due to the assistance their fame gives the song’s popularity:
Thats not songwriting but some of these artists believe if it wasnt for them your song would never get out there so they take a cut just because they are who they are. but everyone knows the real truth even Beyonce. She is talented but in a completely different way.
On numerous occasions Beyonce has stated or intimated that she wrote her hit song “Irreplacable”, particularly in a 2008 Marie Claire where she states “‘I’m sure people think I wrote it about [Jay-Z] or something, but… the obvious person is not the person at all. In a 2012 interview with The Breakfast Club, Ne-Yo, one of the co-writers for “Irreplacable” stated Beyonce only wrote the background harmonies for the song.
Nick Young: Iggy Azaela Was Affected By BET Awards Backlash Caused By Nicki Minaj
(AllHipHop News) There is no NBA basketball happening outside of unbearably unwatchable Summer League games so Los Angeles Lakers’ shooting guard Nick Young is now using his time to speak out for his girlfriend. In a recent interview, Young admits that Azaela was negatively affected by the backlash she received after Nicki Minaj’s acceptance speech at last month’s BET Awards.
During her acceptance speech after winning the Best Female Rapper award for the fifth straight year, Minaj remarked that “when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it” and thanked BET for honoring authenticity. While Azaela posted on her personal Instagram account that she was “unbothered by anything that happened at the BET Awards”, her boyfriend says different to New York Daily News:
I had to deal with the aftermath of all that. When she came home and was going through her phones, hearing everybody talking trash about her. I had to be there for her.
On July 2nd, Minaj posted on her personal Twitter account that she has “congratulated Iggy on the success of Fancy, publicly. She should be very proud of that. All the women nominated should b proud.”
