John Singleton Disses Tupac Biopic Without Even Watching A Trailer We’re sure you guys remember a couple years back when John Singleton stepped down from his commitment to direct the upcoming 2Pac biopic ‘All Eyez On Me.’ Well If you haven’t heard yet, John Singleton took some serious shots at the movie during and after a panel at ComplexCon in L.A. this past weekend, despite revealing he hasn’t watched so much as a trailer for the project. The director told HipHopDX, “I haven’t watched it and I refuse to watch it,” Singleton tells HipHopDX. “I know that they f***ed it up so I’m not even trying to give it any attention.” During the panel, which was hosted by Deray McKesson, Singleton admitted that at one point he felt he was too close to Shakur to be involved: “I didn’t want to make it for many, many years,” he explained during the panel. “First of all, people wanted the story to be told, but I was so close to him. I was too close to tell the story of it. You have to remember, at first we had a working relationship and then a brotherhood.I saw other directors come on and something clicked in me saying I wanted to do it. I told the company if y’all muthafu**as want to do this, you gotta get the fu** out my face and let me do this movie.” Despite eventually stepping down from the director’s role, Singleton reveals he did come back onboard to help with the project later, as producers were ramping up the project: “I did the research which was talking to everyone around him who lived it and selectively piecing together their memories and my memories cause everyone wants to make Pac who they wanted them to be,” he recalled. “They want to make the Tupac story that involves them and not the Tupac story. I did a great script and I thought they were going to go forward with it, but because I’m so mouthy and opinionated, some people don’t like to work with a black man in Hollywood who has an opinion. I knew they weren’t going to make a good movie at all and they didn’t.” Ehhhh, this sounds real real real real personal. It seems crazy to just decide something is BAD without seeing it — or even seeing a trailer. Not only that but the trailers we’ve seen look fire and Benny Boom is a damn good director — we don’t really see him dropping the ball on this one. Hmmmm… So we reached out to a few friends in Hollywood and learned that while Singleton hasn’t seen the movie — several rappers HAVE and their reactions were nothing like Singleton’s. “Puffy has seen it. Kanye West has seen it. Snoop Dogg has seen it,” a source close to the project told BOSSIP. “They loved it. The Game saw it. Busta Rhymes was in tears when he saw it.” Well damn! (Side note, didn’t Busta act in “Higher Learning” for Singleton?) As it stands, looks like Singleton’s comments aren’t sitting too well with the film’s executive producer L.T. Hutton. Hit the flip for his comments.
For your listening pleasure… Ryan Henry, Charmaine Johnise And Kat Tat On Bossip’s Podcast On the latest episode of Don’t Be Scared , David Dani and Jah chat with three of VH1’s Black Ink Crew Chicago cast members. Kat Tat first stopped by to talk her loyalty to 9 Mag… “The thing that the show doesn’t see, we were open a while before the show even came. I paid my dues tremendously, I’ve held them down in ways you wouldn’t even think of. […] I know I’m not doing nothing wrong by minding my business and progressing myself. I’m just doing me.” her former “work husband” Phor… “I’m not interested at all anymore. Unfortunately I’m single. We had a long history since we opened up the shop, Ryan was like Uncle Ryan, Van was like Brother Van and Phor was the one—so it had been that since we met. There was chemistry there. I know what type of guy Phor is, I knew that he was into a lot of girls. It dragged on, it was a very hectic relationship for a while. Even after we ended on the show we messed around for a while. […] He does not have a bad bone in his body. It just didn’t work out, he’s unloyal God damnit.” and to give the real deal on those fights between her and Charmaine. “Charmaine and Danielle are actually both my best friends. They came to the shop to hang out with me then naturally they got close with the guys and then eventually started working there. Charmaine and I we’re like sisters, so when she kinda crossed on me—she knows everything that happened last season between me and the guys. They had my back, my girls are my support system. So just for her to switch a ll of a sudden, it hurt me more than anything. I’m anti-violence, so I would never go and punch somebody in the face but I did wanna go and wring her out. I would never wanna like whoop somebody. That’s not me.” On who won the fights: “I’m a Taurus so we see red. Security broke it up pretty quick— I guess [I won.]” Things got especially interesting however when Ryan and Charmaine stopped by and flat out denied that they were secretly a couple.

Samsung Recalls $19 Billion Worth Of Galaxy Note 7’s After Exploding Controversy After months of incidents involving their exploding Galaxy Note 7 , Samsung has officially shut down the production of the fiery cell phone. According to DailyMail , the decision is going to cost the company a LOT of money. The decision could cost the firm $19billion. Experts estimate the axing of the device could cost nearly $17bn in lost sales and Samsung could have to shell out an estimated $2.2billion if every 2.5 million handset produced is refunded at an average cost of $850. ‘Taking our customers’ safety as our highest priority, we have decided to halt sales and production of the Galaxy Note 7,’ the company said. Once it became apparent that the first round of phones were combustible, Samsung offered replacement phones…and then THOSE started to blow up. Somebody at Apple is smiling ear-to-ear right now.
