Swizz just added Ambassador to his multifaceted career … Celebrating the new $325 million wing at Harlem Hospital, and revealing original paintings created under President Roosevelt’s Harlem Renaissance-era Works Progress Administration, Swizz touched on the importance of healthcare. Choosing to honor Dr. John W.V. Cordice during his speech, and reflecting on the surgery he performed on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. after a failed assassination attempt (which ultimately helped save his life), Swizz shared heartfelt words while accepting the nomination to become the first-ever Global Ambassador for NYC’s public hospital’s system. “I can honestly say tonight represents something bigger than a Grammy… bigger than selling millions of records… bigger than my wildest musical dreams,” said rapper-turned-Renaissance man Swizz Beatz (born Kasseem Dean) in his keynote address at a celebratory dinner for Harlem Hospital’s new Mural Pavilion Thursday night. “When I go home tonight, I’m going to write in my journal… today’s date, because it marks history…” Swizz said that he would like this new responsibility to help him show the youth today that you can be more than a rapper. “I encourage our youth to step outside of the box that some of us may have been put in,” expressing fatigue over the many requests he gets from fans looking for advice on how to become a rapper like him. “I want to be the renaissance man for my generation to show them that there are so many more things that we can do out here to move this world to a forward-thinking place.” Many pieces of art on display are being curated by Swizz himself and upgrades to the new six-story building include a new emergency department, a burn unit and an intensive care unit, and the hospital will expand access to preventive health services to address the community’s high rates of asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, HIV/AIDS, and stroke. That’s something anyone, celeb or not, would be proud to be a part of. Source Images via WENN

‘I think they’ve helped us tremendously,’ actor tells MTV News of hip-hop community’s support of 1983 movie. By Rob Markman Al Pacino Photo: MTV News LOS ANGELES — Hard to believe, but when Brian De Palma’s “Scarface” was released in 1983, it wasn’t the beloved cult classic it is now. Critics panned the underworld drama in which actor Al Pacino played Tony Montana, a Cuban refugee who went from dishwasher to cocaine drug lord. Today, the film lives in infamy with its ultra-violent-yet-indelible scenes and quotable one-liners like “Say hello to my little friend.” Most of the appreciation and film’s support has come from rappers, a fact not lost on Pacino. “The hip-hop people and the rappers got together and they made a video and they talked about the movie. I don’t think anybody’s ever talked about it as articulately and clearly. I understood it better having heard them talk about it,” Pacino told MTV News on the red carpet for a party celebrating the Blu-ray release for “Scarface” on Tuesday night. “I mean, they really get it and they understand it, and that’s a great thing. They’ve been very supportive all these years. I think they’ve helped us tremendously.” The documentary Pacino referred to is 2003’s “Scarface: Origins of a Hip-Hop Classic.” In it, rappers like Diddy, Nas and Snoop Dogg analyze the movie’s impact. The 71-year-old actor likens rap’s affinity for his film with his appreciation for the 1932 original version of “Scarface.” “When I saw it for the first time — and I don’t mean mine, I mean Paul Muni’s from [the] 1930s — I had that feeling about it too,” he said. “Anything when the hero is just reaching for something.” Ultimately, Pacino believes the appeal of his character lies in his desire to make something out of nothing — a mantra rappers have been preaching since the 1980s. “Man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for? That’s a great expression, and I think that’s Tony Montana,” Pacino poetically explained. “Reaching for something he can’t get but he keeps going. There is an element of hope in it, believe it or not.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Scarface.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

‘Knowing Wayne, he might just stroll across the stage on a skateboard,’ Gil Smith laughs to MTV News. By Rob Markman Lil Wayne Photo: MTV Forget “How to Love,” Lil Wayne sure knows how to seize a moment. On Sunday, Weezy will hit up the VMAs in hopes of scoring a Moonman for his “6 Foot 7 Foot” video. He’ll also grace the stage for a performance , and then about an hour after the big show wraps, the Young Money CEO will release his highly anticipated Tha Carter IV album at midnight . Big night, indeed. As for rocking the VMA stage, with such an extensive catalog, Lil Tunechi could go for any number of songs. Will he croon out “How to Love,” or invite Drake onstage for their recently released C4 single “She Will” ? Maybe Wayne will do a medley that includes Rick Ross for a performance of “John” and DJ Khaled for “I’m On One.” There are so many possibilities. Weezy’s musical director Gil Smith wouldn’t confirm any specific details, but he hinted to MTV News that the multifaceted rapper might pull any combination of tricks from his sleeve. “We’ve been brainstorming and taking from things that we put together on the road, so I think they can just expect a new and improved Wayne, a different Wayne,” Smith said. “You know, he always comes different: one day he’s a rock star, one day he’s a skater; he’s singing R&B. I think we can expect a little bit of everything in this performance.” Smith, who has been touring with Wayne since 2008, helps the “A Milli” MC realize his tour dreams and heads the live band on the I Am Still Music Tour . But one thing he hasn’t helped Wayne with is his skills on the skateboard. This past Sunday, the rapper took a spill while skating and had to get nine stitches. He isn’t shying away from the half-pipe, however. “Thx to u all for the concern but pls know that I will eventually take even harder falls if I wanna get better,” he tweeted a day after the accident. So maybe Wayne will dust himself off and kick-push his way across the VMA stage. “You know what? He just might. Knowing Wayne, he might just stroll across the stage on a skateboard,” Smith said with a chuckle. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it.” What do you hope Wayne performs at Sunday’s VMAs? Share your wish list in the comments! The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8.

While many TV audiences know William Drayton, aka Flavor Flav , as a colorful (and sometimes polarizing) figure on his reality TV shows, the multi-talent came to prominence for many as a member of the rap group Public Enemy . Public Enemy’s messages of Black power and social consciousness run contrary to some of the images we’ve seen on the TV from Flav, but this conflict and many others are addressed in Flavor Flav’s new memoir, Flavor Flav: The Icon . After 25 years in show business Flav takes readers in vivid detail behind the scenes of his multifaceted career discussing everything from his abuse of drugs to his time in prison. In part one of TheUrbandaily.com ‘s interview with Flav we asked him what it must have felt like to record and perform an anti-drug song like “Night Of The Living Baseheads” when he was a user of the drug himself.
