Gaga Growls On

Lady Gaga may be growling for attention in her asymmetrical suit, huge black platform boots and sunglasses, but the singer has a special message for her Far East fans. While landing in Tokyo the singer had a special message on her arm and her white Birkin bag reading, “I love little monster, Tokyo love”. For those of you who aren’t into Gaga lingo, that’s what the Poker face singer calls her legion of fans. Gaga touched down in Japan as part of her Monsters ball tour and will be performing in city for the next four nights.

Asher Roth Serves Up ‘Positive’ Message On Seared Foie Gras Mixtape

‘Hopefully, I’mma stick around for a decade and be a voice of the next 10 years,’ Roth tells Mixtape Daily. By Shaheem Reid, with additional reporting by Rahman Dukes Asher Roth Photo: SRC/Universal This Week’s Main Pick Mixtape Maven : Asher Roth Holding It Down For : The Big Apple? He just moved to NYC Mixtape : Seared Foie Gras with Quince and Cranberry Real Spit : Asher Roth is in it for the long haul. He’s not just trying to make a quick dollar and skate — although there are aspects to the game that frustrate him. “I don’t wanna be one of those dudes that’s just like one, two three years, and I’m out,” Roth said, sitting in one of his favorite eateries, Hotel Griffou. “Make a quick dollar. ‘Let me go invest this in real estate.’ I see the opportunity to affect lives in a positive way. I see these 13-year old kids that get a hold of me and be like, ‘Yo, you changed my life.’ Am I 100 percent fulfilled? No. Not even remotely yet. But that’s a good thing. Hopefully, I’mma stick around for a decade and be a voice of the next 10 years. So when people look back, they said I actually added something instead of putting a pop song out that was popular.” Roth, for the most part, raps over beats that are already out there on the tape. He gives props to each producer by noting who the beat is “served by” on the track list. As for that far-out title, he said he tried the delicacy before knowing that foie gras was actually force-fed duck liver. Joints to Check For

Exclusive: Shyne To Release New Song ‘Messiah’ On Monday

New track, which drops Tuesday, trumpets his NYC roots and delivers messages to the youth. By Shaheem Reid, with additional reporting by Tim Kash and Rahman Dukes Shyne Photo: YBF Shyne has some serious goals for restarting his career. The Belize-born MC spoke to MTV News on Friday (April 9) and announced that the launch of his movement begins next week as he drops his new song “Messiah.” MTV News had an early preview of an EZ Elpee-produced track that drops Monday. Shyne held a press conference in Belize last November, shortly after completing a prison sentence of eight years for two counts of assault as well as reckless endangerment and gun possession in a 1999 shooting (Shyne has maintained his innocence in the incident). He said he hasn’t gotten soft over the years; he’s gotten wiser. “I make music about life,” he said during the press conference. “One of the greatest musicians was Bob Marley. There was nothing misogynistic about him. But his music, he talked about some harsh realities sometimes. He was tough. I would like to make that type of contribution, that kind of Marvin Gaye contribution, you dig? But at the same time, we curse. At the same time, life is violent. Life is troublesome sometimes. So don’t expect my music to be sanitized. I am just going to talk about what’s going on in the world.” As you’ll hear on “Messiah,” Shyne is still firm in his words but insists he’s not reckless. Think about the difference between Sonny Corleone and his brother Michael. “I got the city on my back, pretty women in the sack,” the song begins. “Rollin’ in the Rolls/ Sit, sittin’ in my lap/ This is not a rap, fool, this is not an act/ Welcome to New York, blood, this is where it’s at/ Snitches take a nap with the fishes and the rats/ Buried in the dirt where the witnesses is at.” In the chorus, he declares: “This one is a go, but r-r-really though/ If you know the code, then y-y-you could roll/ But if you was a foe, then you get peter-rolled/ But keep that on the low, r-r-really though.” EZ Elpee keeps the track simple but with a threatening synth and bass thump. “You got the crown/ I had to repo that/ Where the East Coast at?/ Mobster music … Nino’s back. “Tell him to go to school, he don’t wanna go/ Shorty wanna roll, how I’mma tell him no?” he continues. “He just like Po/ God knows it better for him to be like Barack O/ My life ain’t gold/ One foot is in the grave, the other in the hole/ I wish that I could show, he gonna follow me straight to death row/ Nah, I’mma make sure, he ain’t like me/ R-r-really though.” Shyne’s new LP doesn’t have a release date yet, but he did ink a record deal with Def Jam earlier this year. “Messiah” will drop Monday. No word yet whether it’s the official first single or a warm-up record. Are you excited to hear new music from Shyne? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Shyne

THG Movie Reviews: An Average Date Night

Date Night stars Tina Fey and Steve Carell, actors responsible for uttering 30 Rock quotes and The Office quotes each week that leave us in stiches. Therefore, you’d expect the film to be the funniest of the year; heck, of the last 10 years. Instead, it’s simply an average comedy. You’ll laugh out loud a couple times, and probably have a smirk on your face throughout its 88-minute running time. But considering it stars two comedic heavyweights, the movie is a letdown. The reason is simple, too: instead of relying on a funny script, Date Night relies too heavily on its leads. Certain lines may be humorous because Fey or Carell delivers them, but there’s nothing in the plot or dialogue itself that stands out. It comes as no surprise, for example, that the best scene in the film involves a stripper routine that Carell improvised. It’s a shame that the on-screen debut of Fey and Carel as a team didn’t take place in a movie penned by the actress herself. She wrote Mean Girls , after all, an underrated classic. She was also the head writer for years on Saturday Night Live and the main influence on 30 Rock . Instead of Fey’s brilliant, snarky one-liners (the kind that have earned Alec Baldwin numerous Emmy nominations), her and Carell are stuck doing slapstick and reciting jokes that are far beneath them. We understand that Carell doesn’t want to simply do a version of Michael Scott in every role, but this is an actor who’s at his funniest when he recites ridiculous dialogue, or finds himelf in ridiculous situations, that his character takes seriously. He’s a master at subtlety and at sarcasm. Neither of those are on display in Date Night , as finds Fey driving herself a car, with Carell on the hood, and screaming for him to “Move your ass, honey!” Typical situations such as that just make us wish we were watching Liz Lemon. But the film isn’t awful. It also features Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and James Franco, a solid cast all-around. Check out photos of the cast at the NYC premiere and then chime in if you’ve seen Date Night : What did you think?
