Gangsta Grillz creator DJ Drama is using his all-time favorite movie to promote his new album, I’m Really Like That, and nails his impersonation of the late Tupac Shakur, which could possibly land the legendary DJ/producer some roles on the silver screen himself!
Today, Drama unveiled his new Jim Jones-directed visual to the I’m Really Like That LP promo, recreating a very important plot twist in the movie Juice, where a couple from the quartet narrowly escaped becoming victims of a robbery gone bad.
Drama plays the memorable role of “Bishop” alongside the original cast; Omar Epps, Khalil Kain, and Jermaine Hopkins, who reprise all of their original, iconic roles. He even credits Epps’ portrayal of DJ Q for inspiring his real-life career as a legendary DJ!

The brothers reenacted the attack in the docuseries, returning to the spot they carried out the hoax, noticing the bench they waited on, the Empire star has been since removed. The two revealed they were ordered to arrive at 2:00 a.m. “on the dot” and not to have any cell phones.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the docuseries announcement comes as Smollett has filed a new appeal for his Dec. 2021 conviction for staging a hate attack and lying to officers. Smollett has been sentenced to 150 days in jail and is currently out pending the appeal.

T.I. is undoubtedly the King of the South and a Hip-Hop legend. If you were to ask him who he is a combination of, his answer would be four titans of our genre: JAY-Z, 2Pac, Diddy and Snoop Dogg.
During an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, T.I. revealed that he sees his legends in his composition.
“I see myself as a hybrid kind of between, I guess, Jay, ‘Pac, Puff and like a Snoop, you know what I’m saying?” T.I. said. “I kind of hop in and out and take pages out of the book of legends, and I’ve been fortunate enough and blessed enough to be able to have these relationships where I could sit and engage and soak up game.”
T.I. would give more love to people like E-40, Master P, Jay Prince, and more in the conversation.
In the same conversation, T.I. recalled the year 2007, when he found himself alongside Denzel Washington in the film classic American Gangster.
T.I. played the nephew of Washington’s character, Frank Lucas, who was ditching a promising baseball future aside to join the family drug business.
T.I. recalls the moment Washington coached him through a scene and helped him combat his nerves.
“As we’re rehearsing I’m pacing back and forth,” T.I. said. “And he said, ‘What’s up, n-gga, You nervous?’ I’m like, ‘Man, I’m just making sure I don’t mess it up.’
“He said, ‘Here man, listen. They could have had anybody in here doing what you’re doing right now. They could have anybody in the world, they could have called anybody right here to do what you’re doing.’”
You can check out the full conversation below.
Flash forward to today, T.I. is still in his acting bag. Hitting theaters this weekend, T.I. will star alongside Power’s Joseph Sikora in the psychological horror film, Fear.
This psychological horror film follows a group of friends who gather for that typical friends weekend getaway at a remote and historic hotel. Their celebration takes a terrifying quick and sudden turn as each one of the guests has to face their own worst fear one by one thanks to a powerful force inside the hotel. The trailer shows the group sharing their biggest fears—some of which we can all relate to.

Gerard Butler and Mike Colter come together for the upcoming film Plane, which centers the heroic survival in the aftermath of tragedy.
When pilot Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler) saves his passengers from a lightning strike by making a risky landing on a war-torn island, he discovers that surviving the landing was just the beginning. The island is heavily populated by armed militia who discover the passengers on the plane and take them into hostage by dangerous rebels. Torrance turns to the only person he can count on for help: Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter).
Colter plays Gaspare – an accused murderer who was being transported by the FBI. In order to rescue the passengers, Torrance will need Gaspare’s help, and will learn there’s more to Gaspare than meets the eye.
As a result of a dual mission of both survival and securing safety of others, the two form a comradery to ensure the completion of that mission when emergency strikes in hostile territory.
Plane is scheduled to hit theatres on Friday, Jan. 13. Check out the exclusive clip from the movie below.
Metro Boomin releases the Heroes & Villains short film starring Morgan Freeman, LaKeith Stanfield, Young Thug, and Gunna. The movie precedes the release of his eagerly awaited Heroes & Villains, his second studio album, coming Friday, Dec. 2.
The Gibson Hazard-created film is a continuation of Boomin’s cinematic partnership with Morgan Freeman as well as his musical story, which is depicted in each of his album installations. Since Metro has a strong affinity for movies, he wanted the movie to give his audience a cinematic listening experience as opposed to having them listen to an album song by song. Since he was in his teens, Hazard has been at the vanguard of cinematography, producing films for celebrities like The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert.
The album Heroes & Villains, the follow-up to Metro’s Not All Heroes Wear Capes from 2018, is in honor of the producer’s late mother Leslie Wayne. In this short film, actor LaKeith Stanfield plays the “New Villain in Town,” who is initially seen dashing out of a station in a fire engine with flamethrowers on top. Metro, the main character in the movie, chooses to step in. The famous Morgan Freeman narrates Metro, which depicts the hero dashing in to save the city to the accompaniment of songs from his new album Heroes & Villains.
