2 Chainz is making a much lauded appearance in the June issue of GQ Magazine. Our friends over there were kind enough to send us an outtake from their shoot along with a rundown of their feature. Here’s the excerpt via GQ : In June’s Comedy issue, GQ names the “40 Things Making Us Laugh Right Now,” and chief among them is rapper 2 Chainz, whom we crown the “King of Two Liners.” The Atlanta-based rapper’s twisted humor and tawdry, spit-take-funny two-beat punch lines make him more than worthy of the title, and have helped him become one of hip-hop’s most in-demand MCs. GQ catches up with Chaniz to hear how he’s keeping things fresh on his next album, coming out in September. “There’s nothing new under the sun. Everyone’s sold dope, f***ed b***hes, popped champagne, shot guns,” he says about the lyrics for his sophomore effort. “I’ll take the extra minutes to do it a new way.” 2 Chainz is definitely a funny guy, but some folks are divided about whether his lyrical skills are for real or a real joke. Are you looking forward to Tity Boi’s next project? Photo Credit: Jill Greenberg / GQ Continue reading →
The navy strikes again…. Rihanna’s Fans Criticize Her For Misquoting ASAP Rocky Lyrics Roc Nation roster chick Rihanna seems to have a love-hate relationship with her fans, whom she has nick named the “Rihanna Navy.” While they constantly show their support for the Barbados born badgal at every turn, they also don’t hesitate to go in on her when they see fit ……much like today. Rihanna recently posted an Instagram photo with the caption that was intended to quote lyrics from rapper ASAP Rocky’s “F***in’ Problems” song, but instead misquoted the lyrics: And it wasn’t long before Rih’s beloved Navy put her on blizzy blast in the worst way… The post has since been deleted, most likely as Rihanna realized the error in her raunchy ways …but in true internet fashion, the damage was already done. Poor dat. Instagram
The nerve…. GOP Congressman: Women Should Be Forced To Birth Brain Dead Fetuses A current Republican-backed bill that has been circulating on The Hill recently gained even more opposition at a hearing to discuss the bills’ proposal to make abortion performed after 20 weeks, including those performed because of pre-diagnosed fetal abnormalities, illegal in Washington, D.C. via Think Progress At a congressional committee hearing to discuss a proposed measure to criminalize abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, Texas lawmaker Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) told a woman who made the difficult choice to terminate a non-viable pregnancy that she should have carried the fetus to term anyway — even though an MRI had already revealed that he was missing a large part of his brain and didn’t have much chance of survival. On Thursday, Christy Zink testified in opposition to H.R. 1797, a 20-week abortion ban that anti-abortion representatives of Congress keep attempting to impose upon the women in the nation’s capital. Abortion opponents claim that 20-week bans are necessary to prevent “fetal pain.” But in her testimony, Zink pointed out it’s misleading to suggest that this abortion restriction would serve this purpose, since forcing her to carry her pregnancy to term would have actually caused her unborn son considerable pain. Gohmert responded: “Ms. Zink, having my great sympathy and empathy both. I still come back wondering, shouldn’t we wait, like that couple did, and see if the child can survive before we decide to rip him apart? So. These are ethical issues, they’re moral issues, they’re difficult issues, and the parents should certainly be consulted. But it just seems like, it’s a more educated decision if the child is in front of you to make those decisions.” It doesn’t get much more heartless than to stand in a woman’s face and tell her what she should have done to save her unborn child that she’s more than likely still grieving over. He should be ashamed!

“The Hangover Part III” opens in theaters today and fans of Ken Jeong’s character Chow should be very happy to find he has returned for the final film in the franchise and he’s got a major role in all the drama. BOSSIP had an opportunity to see “The Hangover Part III” prior to it opening in theaters and we have to say the true star of this film is Ken Jeong, aka Chow — the nefarious drug addled con artist who has been a big source of laughs for the franchise ever since popping out of the “Wolf Pack’s” trunk bucky nekkid in the original movie. BOSSIP had a chance to interview Jeong about his role in the latest film check out some excerpts below: On Taking It All Off For “The Hangover” Films: KJ: When I read the first script where I’m in the trunk, initially I was wearing pants, but it just made sense to me that he would be nekked. When I asked Todd if we could do it that way he said yes. He didn’t want me to change my mind. That was his concern. You know most directors, when you say “nekked,” “Can I do this nekked?” “What are you talking about? Get out. Just get out. Don’t even talk to me anymore for the rest of the shoot.” But Todd was so…it was kismet, because I think Todd, deep down, was probably thinking of that, but would never ask an actor, you know, especially a guy who was just only in the movie for like 4 minutes, ever to do that. That’s a lot to ask. But for the actor to like, volunteer that and know that this is fitting the tone of the movie…And I think from there, Todd and I just bonded on this kind of like…I mean, deep down inside, there’s this kind of love of chaos that – you know, I like Pesci in ‘Goodfellas.’ There’s something like chaotic and completely funny about that. Like in the second movie, I would watch Pesci a lot. I would actually be in my trailer watching Pesci in ‘Goodfellas’ a lot in the second movie. So there’s a shared sensibility of a love of mayhem and things spiraling out of control that I actually do respond to, comedically. Everything else since then just comes organically. I’m not like “Todd, I think it would be great for the fans if we –“ No. That doesn’t happen at all. All of that is like story-telling at this point. Even if ‘Community’ was R-Rated on HBO, I would never in a million years do that as Chang. There’s no way. I would refuse because it doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t, at all. On Taking On A “Stereotypical” Accent For The Role Of Chow: KJ: Let me tell you a secret about the business, man: every Asian actor has auditioned for a role that required an accent. That’s just kind of the system you guys designed. So, safe to say – and I’m a doctor, I’m not an idiot. I know what I’m doing. And when it comes to stereotypes, if you talk comedy, Chow is a meta-joke on a stereotype. I mean, why do you call a guy Black Doug? Just call him Doug. There’s so many tropes that you’re puncturing without – you’re not doing it on a ‘Community’-type level where you’re not like, being that academic about it. But you’re doing it definitely on a subversive level, especially with Zach and his brand of comedy. When you’re falling – you know, when Zach’s falling out of a car – you know my favorite scene in all three movies is “Haha! Fat guy fall down. Funny.” It’s just a meta-joke. It’s just like Ahmed, it’s just like anybody else. So you’ve got the Asian guy mocking that stereotype mocking the fat guy mocking that stereotype, there’s so many levels. Me and Zach, we bonded over that in the first movie, because that was an ad-lib of mine. It was an ad-lib, and it just kinda – it totally validated that character for me. And trust me, I’ve done several movies where I’ve never had an accent and they’re truly more offensive to me, because those parts were boring and they sucked. And it was like I can’t do anything with this character, the director doesn’t know what to do with me, and it doesn’t matter if it has an accent or not, it just sucks. I’d rather do something that’s amazing and be remembered and have an impact than do something that’s by-the-book and suck. On Chow’s Most Quoted Lines: KJ: Toodaloo Motherf**ka. All the time. Toodaloo Motherf**ka is always, like, once a week. I was at a Wells Fargo ATM and a middle aged White dude in a convertible, just staring at me for the longest time, and as he drives away he says “Toodaloo Motherf**ka!” And I’ve said this on talk shows before, but what I haven’t said is that that happened three months ago with a new – with a different white guy, a different convertible, yelling “Toodaloo Motherf**ka” again. Same ATM! I’m like “What the fawk is this? Groundhog’s Day meets Wells Fargo?” On His Flying Scene In “The Hangover Part III” KJ: Yeah. Well, those were incredible stunt doubles. I have nothing to do with that. Except, well there’s close-ups where I am suspended 40 feet in the air and I’m uncomfortable in a real parachute harness in pain, saying “I Love Co****e” or whatever. That is me – I’m not sitting in a Lay-Z-Boy with my latte and a green screen “I Love Co****e.” You gotta sell it. You gotta sell the metal. And I have a massive fear of heights. Like, legit. I’m the kind of guy that cries at roller-coasters and ferris wheels. And I worked with Jack Gill, the stunt coordinator for H3, he was the stunt coordinator for Tom Cruise’s “Mission Impossible 4.” He found a way to desensitize me. I worked with him for 6 weeks. So I’d work on Community and every Friday I’d go to Warner’s and be in a harness 10 feet above the air and the next week 15 feet, 20 feet and then learn how to move on that because I was scared. But that was the greatest day of my life, where I do a 30-foot freefall drop with hundreds of gallons of water falling behind my back, and then I gotta act? I mean, that was the greatest moment of my acting career because I was able to kind of conquer that fear – legit fear of heights. He cured me, kind of. And that was a personal triumph for me.

A Desoto County,MS judge has issued an arrest warrant for Rapper ‘Tim Dog’ who is supposed to be dead. Tim Dog, or Timothy Blair, was convicted of swindling a Southhaven women in 2011, but it was reported he died in February. Hernando Prosecutor Steven Jubera says if Tim Dog is alive, he’s pulling of the greatest scam ever in the history of hip hop. And if he’s alive, he’s also going to jail. “I need proof,” said Jubera. Proof is not easy to get when it comes to Blair. “Come to New York and see who gets robbed,” says his lyrics. Tim was known in the 90s for his song about Compton and more recently for his swindling ways. “I believe he was so angry that he had to pay me back,” said Victim Esther Pilgrim, who lost money to Blair after meeting him on an online dating site. Pilgrim, who fought to get Blair convicted, now believes Tim Dog’s pulling off his biggest scam yet. “This is amusing to him, she said. Pilgrim believes the rapper, reported dead in February, is really alive. The prosecutor who convicted him, agrees. “I need proof,” said Jubera. “I need a death certificate showing that’s he’s dead because as far as I’m concerned, he’s alive.” Jubera, with the Desoto County DA’s Office, filed a petition with a judge Tuesday To have Tim Dog’s probation revoked. The rapper was supposed to be making monthly payments to the courts after being convicted of grand larceny, but stopped paying when he was reported “dead.” Information about his death, however, is lacking in Rolling Stone Magazine and other publications that reported it. “Nobody said where he died, nobody said where he was buried, which is very odd for an obituary,” he said. In fact, even one of Tim Dog’s closest hip hop colleagues Ced Gee tells News Channel 3 that he refused to speak at Blair’s funeral because Tim Dog’s family could not produce a death certificate. Ced Gee believes after that, the funeral never happened. News Channel 3 also used a private investigator, who found no death records anywhere for Timothy Blair. If he’s alive, investigators say they plan to find him. “At the bare minimum he would get arrested and sit in jail until his court hearing,” said Jubera. The rapper owes $19 thousand in restitution to Pilgrim. Prosecutor Jubera says he will drop the arrest warrant, if Tim Dog’s family members can come forward and show proof of his death. youtube Continue reading →
