Grafh Is ‘A Fan’ Of Rick Ross, Lil Wayne Labels

Free agent is considering his options while Rule EP makes some noise, in Mixtape Daily. By Rob Markman Grafh Don’t Sleep: Necessary Notables Headliner : Grafh Key Cameo : “Don’t Stop” (featuring Bun B) Real Spit : Grafh is on the road to reinvention. After splitting with Black Hand Entertainment , the company he had been signed to since coming into the rap game in the early 2000s, Grafh has been putting out new music at a torrid pace. First, there was his Pain Killers mixtape, and then in September, he dropped his Rule EP, which he streams on his website for free and put up for purchase on iTunes. ” Rule ‘s getting a good response, and I really appreciate it,” Grafh told Mixtape Daily. “I worked hard on it, I put a lot of energy into it, and it’s different coming from Grafh. I took a different approach. I attacked the music more laid-back, something you can ride to, smoke to.” Typically, the Queens, New York, MC employs a rapid-fire flow, but for Rule, Grafh slowed his complex bars down just a tad. “Stoned” moves at a syrupy crawl, while a mellowed-out Grafh raps about drinking and smoking. On “It’s All the Same,” he delivers a cautionary ‘hood tale, and on the Too $hort-sampling “Don’t Stop,” the nimble lyricist teams with Bun B for a bouncy banger. Though currently unsigned, the rap free agent hopes to broker a deal for himself in the near future. Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group and Lil Wayne’s Young Money are attractive destinations. “I’m a free agent right now looking for that new money,” Grafh said. “Rick Ross is kicking major ass. He’s one of those dudes that break artists — so is Lil Wayne. He makes hella money and good music. I love what those dudes are doin’. I’mma fan of what they’re doin’.” In the end, however, it is all about the connection Grafh is currently making with his fans. “Without the fans, I’m just a n—a rappin’. They mean more to me than people would imagine,” he said. “The fans allow me to do this, or else I’d be doing something else that probably wouldn’t be legal.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

Demi Moore Says Ashley Greene Is ‘Saucy’ In ‘LOL’

Posted on October 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Moore also tells MTV News that the teen comedy’s ongoing release delays have been ‘a tough thing.’ By Kara Warner, with reporting by Eric Ditzian Ashley Greene Photo: Jason Merritt/ Getty Images Although it’s been awhile since we’ve had any updates about a release date for Miley Cyrus and Ashley Greene’s delayed teen comedy “LOL,” anticipation continues to build for the film, which will mark a departure for former Disney star Cyrus and Greene, who is best for her role as sweet-natured psychic Alice Cullen in the “Twilight Saga” series. But when MTV News recently caught up with Demi Moore, who plays Cyrus’ mom in the film, we got some scoop about her experience with the singer/actress, as well as some dish on what we can expect from Greene’s performance. “[Cyrus] is great, she did great,” Moore said during a promotional run for her upcoming financial thriller “Margin Call.” “I really loved the movie; I loved working with her and the director. They just put it on pause because they had another film they were focusing on. It’s a tough thing when you have a movie you’re looking forward to coming out,” she added of waiting on the film’s release date. With regard to Greene’s performance, Moore teased that moviegoers can expect to see a very different side of the “Breaking Dawn” star. “She’s saucy, she’s really saucy,” Moore said with a smile, which prompted her “Margin Call” co-star Simon Baker to chime in. “I love it when you say that,” Baker said. “Is she sassy too?” “Sassy and saucy,” Moore promised. “LOL” is based on the successful 2008 French film “Laughing Out Loud.” The American version is a coming-of-age story about a group of young people — led by Cyrus’ wild-child character Lola — trying to navigate high school peer pressure and romance in a tech-savvy era. The cast also includes Thomas Jane (“Hung”), Gina Gershon (“Rescue Me”), Jay Hernandez (“Takers”) and Austin Nichols (“One Tree Hill”).

Natalie Portman’s ‘Black Swan’ Physique Gave Emily Blunt ‘Anxiety’

Posted on December 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Natalie Portman’s ‘Black Swan’ Physique Gave Emily Blunt ‘Anxiety’

Blunt, who also plays a ballerina in upcoming Matt Damon thriller, recalls marveling, ‘That girl has some serious guns.’ By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Natalie Portman in “Black Swan” Photo: Fox Searchlight Emily Blunt spent the end of 2009 training to be a ballerina for her role opposite Matt Damon in the 2011 sci-fi thriller, “The Adjustment Bureau.” The training regimen she thrust herself into was borderline brutal. “The tears did start to flow. I did cry a lot in pain,” she told us months later. Around the same time Blunt was pirouetting like a madwoman, Natalie Portman had also slipped on some ballet slippers for “Black Swan.” Portman’s film beat Blunt’s to the screen and quickly became an awards-season fave. Blunt herself is a fan of the film, even if seeing Portman dance caused a bit of apprehension. “I had a full anxiety attack after it but still loved the movie,” Blunt laughed to MTV News while promoting the Christmas release “Gulliver’s Travels.” “That girl has some serious guns,” she explained. “I was like, ‘Wow, her back looks like a barrel of snakes.’ She truly worked out and she looks incredible in the movie.” Blunt shouldn’t sell herself short. She, too, trained intensely for “Adjustment Bureau,” recruiting the artistic director of the modern-dance company Cedar Lake to teach her how to dance like someone who’d been doing it her whole life. “It’s definitely an endurance test, learning how to be a dancer,” she said. “That is some lifestyle. That is day in, day out, hours and hours and hours a day, just crippling your body. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. I am so happy I did it because I think it’s probably a good thing, soul-building, to do something every day that terrifies and embarrasses you.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Gulliver’s Travels.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

‘Teen Wolf’ TV Series Is ‘Almost Nothing’ Like ’80s Film, Stars Say

Posted on September 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘We’ve got our own thing going on,’ Tyler Posey says of upcoming MTV show. By Kara Warner, with reporting by James Montgomery Tyler Posey Photo: 3 Arts Entertainment Although we were distracted by the presence of powerhouse pop stars Justin Bieber, Drake and Lady Gaga on our fancy white carpet at Sunday’s VMAs , our supernatural senses kicked in when the three young stars of “Teen Wolf” swung by. The series, which is based on the original cult teen comedy made famous by star Michael J. Fox, was picked up by MTV earlier this year and is set to debut in 2011. “The shoes of Michael J. Fox are so big to fill, it’s just he did his own thing,” star Tyler Posey told MTV News of the inevitable comparisons between the reboot and the original. “We’re definitely doing our own thing. We are doing a remake of ‘Teen Wolf,’ but it’s almost nothing like the original movie. We’ve got our own thing going on.” “I think I’m more excited than nervous,” co-star Tyler Hoechlin added. “We’re excited to get going. [Creator] Jeff [Davis]’s been doing a great job setting it up for us, so we just have to go have fun.” Back in July, the boys dished a few more details about the show at San Diego Comic-Con . “When I first heard about the show, that they were doing ‘Teen Wolf,’ I was pretty stoked about it because I loved the movie,” Posey said. “My agents got me the audition for it, and I read the script, and it blew me away. It was completely unlike anything I have read. The script was awesome and it was one of the things I wanted the most out of anything, and I just worked hard and got it.” “I didn’t even know what ‘Teen Wolf’ was,” Dylan O’Brien admitted about originally signing on to the show. “I hadn’t seen the movie. I almost didn’t even go to the audition. Look at that.” “I think the thing we unanimously agree on is that the script was so strong, no matter what our assumptions were coming into it,” Hoechlin said. “After we read the script, it was immediately something we all wanted to be a part of very badly. I think each and every one of us is very grateful that we get a chance to work on it.” Are you looking forward to the new take on “Teen Wolf”? Let us know in the comments!
