Wilmore is joining forces with comedian and writer Bassem Youssef to develop a show about two Middle Eastern parents with superpowers. The twist of the show is that they are superheroes at a time when it’s illegal to be a superhero. Thus, they must save the world in secret. Larry Wilmore & Bassem Youssef Team For Superhero Middle Eastern American Family Comedy At ABC https://t.co/8hvbfD2F6V pic.twitter.com/f6qgIPLU5b — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) October 23, 2017 The yet to be titled series will explore some of the issues immigrant families face when it comes to adjusting to a new home and people treating you like the enemy. Wilmore and Youssef will write and executive produce the show, and it’s being developed under ABC. “To have ABC challenge the narrative and stereotypes that have long stuck to people in my region is something spectacular to say the least,” Youssef said. “To have only terrorist roles available for us one day, then get to play superheroes the next, is ground breaking.”

Source: Slaven Vlasic / Getty Via | HipHopDX NEW YORK, NY – Following RZA’s interview with The Breakfast Club earlier this week, the Wu-Tang Clan vet’s publicist has issued a statement to clarify RZA’s involvement in a 2016 incident involving Azealia Banks and actor Russell Crowe. During the new interview, RZA claimed Crowe “spit at” Banks at a Beverly Hills hotel last October, a detail he left out from his 2016 statement about the incident. Subsequently, Banks took to social media to shame RZA for being a “liar” and said she hoped he’d drop dead. “The derogatory posts against my client RZA by Azealia Banks is unwarranted and beyond that — unbecoming,” the publicist’s statement reads via NME. “RZA, from the moment he met Ms. Banks, bet on her to win. So much so that when others felt she would be too much trouble to work with on the film Love Beats Rhyme , he disregarded what had been said and looked beyond her well-documented controversies moving forward with securing her as his lead.” The statement continued, “Her introduction to Russell Crowe at his private party resulted in Banks going on a salacious mission to disparage him and RZA. Playing the race card and anything else she could.” Finish this story [ here ]

He usually cranks out a smash hit record every summer such as “Fck The Rap Game”, “Run It Up” & “My Partna Dem” (Rich Kidz). Although he has an extensive resume including features with every major rapper in the industry, Jose Guapo is extremely underrated yet feels that he is more relevant than most 1 hit wonder artists such as YC. “It’s not a question that I’m underrated & I don’t get the credit I deserve, somebody tryna’ blackball me”. Although he labels Gucci Mane as the Trap God, and Future the GOAT, Jose Guapo credits T.I. as the innovator of trap music and admits that Gucci may be interested in signing him to 1017 Eskimo Records. Jose Guapo also gave his opinion on mumble rap and mentioned that Young Thug is the only artist who he would consider a mumble rapper and has no issues understanding other rappers such as Migos, Future, & Lil Uzi Vert who are usually thought of as mumble rappers. Lastly, Jose Guapo opened up about his frustrations with the music industry and addresses past beefs with 2 Chainz & Young Dro. Guapo wants his fans to know he is more mature and that real men cry.
