TheGame leaked his street single for The R.E.D. Album (12/8), one of two leaks he said he’d do… The other is rumored to be a main single, “L.A. Girl” with Chris Brown & Pharrell.
Its nice to hear some new material from Lupe that isn’t project rejects. Unfortunately, this joint may be TOO disappointing to fully enjoy. And that isn’t because its wack, quite the opposite, but rather because its a clear reminder of how Lupe can go in over other cats’ beats. And also a clear reminder of Lupe Fiasco stating that he would no longer make any more mixtapes. Personally, I doubt he sticks to his guns indefinitely, but so far he has and that’s just WACK. Another wack thing is that I enjoy this more than the leaks from Lasers. But that’s just me.
nation accidentally called this guy Chip The Rapper one time and ****** from Cleveland were ready to assassinate me on Twitter. Sheesh. Watch your vowels people, it’s crazy out there.

Oh **** I need oxygen. This is the most horrible, cookie cutter, flagrantly radio pandering song on the album, but that picture just made me keel over laughing.

Hanway films is releasing a film based on the early years of John Lennon. It focuses on his growth, his relationship with his mother and aunt, and bandmate Paul McCartney; all things that would push him towards becoming an international icon. British actor Aaron Johnson will play Lennon and Thomas Sangster will play Paul McCartney. Kristin Scott Thomas will play Lennon’s aunt Mimi and Anne-Marie Duff will play Lennon’s mother Julia. I’ve done much reading on the origin of The Beatles, but I admit that I’ve never looked into the origin of the bands individual members, so this movie looks pretty interesting to me. No doubt it will garner much backlash from Beatle/Lennon loyalists, but that’s to be expected whenever you work in the realm of legends. Suffice to say, the people who don’t like the idea of this movie will still watch it. And if there’s any reason why, it’ll be to justify their own criticisms. Enjoy.
