Gunmen: Mario Van Peebles fondly recalls working with Christopher Lambert on underrated 90s actioner
The other day, one of our writers sat down with Mario Van Peebles to talk about his upcoming spiritual sequel to Posse, Outlaw Posse. In the pretty awesome conversation, we asked Mario about what we consider a pretty underrated movie of his, Gunmen. This 1994 action flick paired him with Christopher Lambert, with an all-star cast that included Denis Leary as the film’s villain, Patrick Stewart, and nineties dream girl Brenda Bakke, as well as 90s rappers like Big Daddy Kane, Eric B, Rakim, Doctor Dre and Ed Lover – who all played themselves. It’s a tough movie to find these days, but Peebles had fond memories of what they were trying to accomplish with it.
“Gunmen tips a hat to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. My character, Christophe’s character, and the other character have a piece of the puzzle as to where the cachet of gold is.

It isn’t a Skylar Grey album without a feature from frequent collaborator Eminem. The duo has linked up on a number of tracks over the years, like “C’mon Let Me Ride” off Grey’s 2013 record, Don’t Look Down, when the rapper lent a verse to it. In terms of Eminem music, Grey co-wrote his huge hit with Rihanna, “Love The Way You Lie,” and featured on the Marshall Mathers LP 2 cut, “A–hole.” They even got together on Dr. Dre’s track, “I Need A Doctor” back in 2011. With this extensive history together, Grey and Eminem have mastered an unmatched musical chemistry, and their new song together is yet another highlight.
Grey releases her third full-length album, Natural Causes, today, and while the full collection of songs are great, “Kill For You” will easily be the most talked about. Inspired by Bonnie and Clyde, the song is...

Peter Dougherty, a TV executive credited with bringing hip-hop to MTV as the co-creator of Yo! MTV Raps, passed away October 12th following a heart attack at his home in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, The New York Times reports. Dougherty was 59.
Dougherty was working in the on-air promotions department of MTV in the mid-Eighties when he suggested that the still-growing music network create a program that focused on hip-hop culture.

Songs On Screen: All week HitFix will be featuring tributes by writers to their favorite musical moments from TV and film. Check out all the entries in the series here. When we talk about underrated directors, it's hard not to mention Walter Hill. Hill is an underrated director, the way Michael Ritchie and Peter Yates were underrated directors, the way Roger Donaldson, Joe Dante, and Fred Schepisi are underrated directors. They’re all underrated because it’s only when you look at their filmographies that the numbers start to total up and you realize, boy, he directed a lot of really good movies. In Hill’s case, that list includes "The Warriors," "48 Hours," "The Long Riders," "Southern Comfort,: "Hard Times," "Trespass," and "Wild Bill." Some great. Some solid. (My personal favorite of those is Hard Times, a pulpy film about bare-knuckle boxers in the Great Depression.) There were clunkers...

Grand Theft Auto V digital Playstation 3 pre-orders were made available for pre-load overnight throughout the UK. This has led fans to uncover mysterious info through searching of the game’s files. The most significant pieces of info to come out of this leak was the finding of information of a number of music stations and songs.

Police comedies have officially become a thing again. Of course, comedies portraying officers of the peace as bumbling incompetents and goofballs have a long and storied tradition, but it seems every few decades the production of such projects reaches a fever pitch. Things haven’t been this crazy since the early ’90s, where canonical releases such as the second and third “Naked Gun” films, and less-canonical releases such as “Cop and a Half,” “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot,” and personal favorite “Who’s the Man?”—starring “Yo! MTV Raps” co-hosts Doctor Dre (not that one, the other one) and Ed Lover—filled the void in our collective souls left by the termination of the “Police Academy” series in 1989. And while the current trend may not ever equal the frenzied production of those years, here is where we stand: On the TV side, we have Fox’s straight-to-series order for...

A funny thing happened on the way to Summer Jam. All hip-hop hell broke loose after an off-the-cuff comment by a radio DJ led rap's reigning queen to pull out of the year's biggest rap concert. Nicki Minaj versus Hot 97 has no doubt become the biggest rap gossip of the week, but once the drama subsides, an eternal discussion will still linger: What is real hip-hop? And who gets to decide?

MTV Raps name, then later as simply Yo! until 1999. It was the first hip-hop music show on the network. Expected to be included in Yo: The Story of Yo!

Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door.
It was the 1990s all over again at the closing act of Coachella 2012. The three-day desert festival ended with a funkified, smoky set from rap legends Snoop and Dre, and the set was punctuated with guest appearances by Eminem, 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar and an all-too-realistic hologram of the late Tupac Shakur.
Snoop Dogg, stoned and smiling, soaked up the most time in the limelight. In between puffs, he rapped solo on his hits "Drop It Like It's Hot," "Gin & Juice" and "Who Am I? (What's My Name?)." He also shared the stage with young rapper Wiz Khalifa to perform their joint hit "Young, Wild & Free." But it was Snoop's performances with Dr. Dre that electrified the stage.

The legendary Doggfather hosted a private birthday party at the Rolling Stone Lounge last night in Los Angeles. I'm sure there was plenty of Gin & Juice to go around -- Snoop even tweeted, "#puffpuffpasstuesdays" before the event.
The guest list was the cream of the hip-hop crop. Dr. Dre, Warren G, DJ Quik and members of the Far East Movement were all in attendance. They partied with actor Tyrese (who tweeted, "Happy birthday Og!! Dre what up!!"), Mlb star Matt Kemp, and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder. It goes without saying that Snoop's wife Shante was there by his side -- he even tweeted a photo of them together titled, "Me n my boo".

Obviously still dealing with the loss, Warren was silent, stoic and lost in his thoughts. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, he turned to MTV News' cameras and said, with the upmost sincerity, "I honestly don't know how this is going to turn out."

After weathering the contagious cinematic disease known amongst hardcore film fanatics as “Highlander 3: The Sorcerer” (aka “Highlander: The Final Dimension”), it’s anyone’s guess why I decided to investigate the dodgy 1994 Christopher Lambert/Mario Van Peebles action extravaganza “Gunmen.” Am I a glutton for punishment, you ask, a miserable beast of a man who enjoys mindlessly tossing his precious free time to the proverbial winds? Perhaps. Or maybe, just maybe, I’m an unapologetic sucker for buddy flicks involving big guns, bad jokes, Sally Kirkland in the nude, Dr. Dre and Ed lover, Big Daddy Kane, Denis Leary, Kadeem Hardison, and a lots of people jumping from elevated surfaces. “Death Warrant” director Deran Sarafian understands the need for an abundance of goofy action and rapid fire humor when your script appears to have been written by someone who’s watched the “Lethal Weapon” series one too many times.

"Def Jam Rapstar" is a big release for hip-hop fans, a long-ignored group when it comes to video games. In an effort to make the release an even bigger deal, Def Jam has teamed up Cash Money Records to offer a special bonus to early adopters of the game. Anyone who purchases "Def Jam Rapstar" at a Best Buy between October 12 and October 19 will also receive a free copy of Lil Wayne's ninth album, entitled "I Am Not A Human Being."
Despite Lil Wayne's current incarceration, "I Am Not A Human Being" will be his second album released in less than a year, and fans of hip-hop will undoubtedly appreciate the two-for-one deal they're getting with the game and the album.
In addition to the album, followers of Lil Wayne can attempt his lyrical style in one of his songs, "A Milli," which is included in the game.

I consider myself a fan of rap and especially old school gangster rap. At least, as much of a fan as a cracker-assed cracker honkie ghost from the whitest part of Canada can be. Admittedly my exposure to the genre might be a touch lacking since, in my youth, only the artists that America decided were popular were the ones that any of the music stores would bring in. It had hard beats, unapologetic swearing and a swagger that spoke to my white middle-class upbringing on the hard skreets of my 200,000 strong city in the middle of Podunkia. I was twelve when I was first exposed to the dulcet tones of 2 Live Crew and Me So Horny first tickled my ear drum. Quit honestly, the only reason I knew anything about them was thanks to the Afa (American Family Association) and all the publicity they generated by them trying to...

After more than a decade in the business, Eminem remains a hip-hop heavyweight, one who can still sell records as if it were the pre-Internet era. So it's hard to imagine what the music scene would be like if he wasn't around. Aside from remembering his "8 Mile" co-star Brittany Murphy in Vibe's 15th-anniversary "Juice" issue, Em also opens up about his inevitable retirement from the rap game.
"Honestly, I don't know how much longer I have in this game," the 37-year-old Mc told Vibe. "I'm always going to love hip-hop. But how much longer am I going to still do it? I couldn't give you an answer. But the day that this is not better than the last will probably be the day I stop.

After more than a decade in the business, Eminem remains a hip-hop heavyweight, one who can still sell records as if it were the pre-Internet era. So it's hard to imagine what the music scene would be like if he wasn't around. Aside from remembering his "8 Mile" co-star Brittany Murphy in Vibe's 15th-anniversary "Juice" issue, Em also opens up about his inevitable retirement from the rap game.

While Eminem talked about death and Brittany Murphy in his interview for the Vibe "Juice" issue, Dr. Dre delved into his Detox delay, the "Under Pressure" leak and rumors of an instrumental album.
The Eminem and Dr. Dre cover of Vibe's 15th-anniversary "Juice" issue is a nod to their original appearance in the mag eight years ago. The issue hits newsstands August 16, and Dre began by answering the question on many fans' minds: Did he know Detox would take this long?
"Absolutely not. I thought it would take, at worst case, a couple of years," the super-producer said. "For example, actual work time on The Chronic was nine months, and actual work time on my last album,...

Diddy is one of the most money-earnin' moguls in entertainment and the star doesn't think anybody should question how he spends his green when it comes to his kids. In the August/September issue of Vibe magazine, the Bad Boy boss sounds off about a June "Nightline" interview with ABC News reporter Martin Bashir, during which the journalist grilled him about lavishing his son with an expensive ride for his 16th birthday.
"The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that's really like a racist question," Diddy tells the mag. "You don't ask white people what they buy their kids. And they buy 'em Porsches and convertible Bentleys, and it ain't no question.

Throughout his long and storied career, Snoop Dogg has been responsible for classic hits ("Who Am I? (What's My Name?)," "Gin and Juice," "Drop It Like It's Hot," "Sexual Seduction"), incredible collaborations (with legends like Dr. Dre, Tupac, Mariah Carey and Eminem), amazing feats of cross-promotion (Snoop has endorsed clothes, malt liquor, hot dogs, skateboards and just about everything in between). But as far as we can tell, he has never once spent quality time with a blinged-out seal at an aquarium.
Until now, that is.
Snoop paid a visit to SeaWorld San Diego (following a recent concert in the area) to spend some time with Clyde the Sea Lion. Snoop also interacted with a number of other animals at SeaWorld and also made an appearance with Clyde at the park's Sea Lion and Otter Stadium venue.

The Game's anticipated The Red Room mixtape comes out on Monday (April 26). Though it was originally slated to be a special Gangsta Grillz edition mixtape with DJ Drama, Game made an 11th-hour switch and went back to his playa potna DJ Skee, who has been a part of several Game mixtapes over the years.
Skee contributed production to the mixtape as well, making a "Skeemix" of the Compton native's controversial "400 Bars." Travis Barker lends his drums to a remix of the Cool and Dre-produced "Shake."
Game has no shortage of fire power elsewhere in the mixtape. Diddy appears on "Heartbreak Hotel," and Nipsey Hussle raps on the freestyle "Ha Ha," which uses Fat Joe's "Slow Down" beat. Lil Wayne, Jadakiss, The Birdman, Jim Jones,...

Considering how ubiquitous and consistently excellent he has been for the length of his career, it's easy to take Snoop Dogg for granted. But you shouldn't, because not only has the man born Calvin Broadus released some of the most iconic hip-hop tracks of the past 20 years ("Gin and Juice," "Murder Was the Case," "Drop It Like It's Hot," "Beautiful" and "Sensual Seduction" among them), but he has also been a movie star ("Starsky and Hutch," "Bones"), a TV icon ("Doggy Fizzle Televizzle" and "Snoop Dogg's Father Hood") and a master of the endorsement (which run from St. Ides malt liquor to Snoop-themed action figures).
He wasn't always a media mogul. In the beginning, he was just a hungry kid with a unique flow who rapped all over Dr. Dre's The Chronic. He still has that same voice (it's a rare mix of hard and sweet that few others...

In 1992, we were in the tail end of the golden age of hip-hop. Dr. Dre had just released The Chronic, and G Funk was on the rise, but for fans of the east coast sound, there was still Eric B & Rakim. So as a nod to the good old days, today's Scenes (Songs) We Love is all about Eric B & Rakim's Know the Ledge from the 92 crime flick, Juice. The 90's timepiece was directed by cinematographer Ernest R. Dickerson (The Wire and long-time cinematographer for Spike Lee) and centered on four friends in Harlem: Bishop (Tupac Shakur), Q (Omar Epps), Raheem (Khalil Kain) and Steel (Jermaine "Huggy" Hopkins) as they wrestled with the usual urban tropes about making it out of the 'ghetto'.

Sometimes it's just easy for producers Sean C. and Lv, a.k.a. Grind Music Inc. — play the beat, let the artist rap over it, done. Classic.
"We had that Michael Jackson sample. L went up there to Yonkers and played them the beat," Sean C. said of Jadakiss' new street jam, "One More Step." "It's pretty simple, straightforward."
"Soon as he heard it," Lv added. "I played, like, 20 seconds and he was like, 'I already know what that is. Don't even worry about that.' "
"It was a blessing they got it on some 'We Gon Make It'-type vibe," C., a former A&R rep at Loud Records, added.

Eminem's heart might lie in battle rapping, but one of his earliest breaks came courtesy of a Slim Shady-based freestyle he did on MTV News reporter Sway's radio show with King Tech.
The Detroit native flew to Los Angeles in 1997 to participate in the Rap Olympics. The event proved to be successful, but it didn't get as much attention as the promoter, Wendy Day, had hoped. According to Tech, Day asked if she could bring over the standout competitors to rap live on "The Wake Up Show." Sway and Tech obliged, and Eminem, who finished second in the competition, decided he would come out on top during the cypher.
