@Wale Speaks On Upcoming Collaboration Project With Jerry Seinfeld

March 23, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Interviews No Comments  

Wale has already dropped the classic (yes, classic) Mixtape About Nothing and More About Nothing projects, which were both conceptualized around Jerry Seinfeld’s hit sitcom. Now, he’s got a new project on the way with the legendary comedian, and it could come out before the year is out, after The Gifted:

On “RapFix Live” this week, D.C.’s own shared that he’s been on the phone with Jerry Seinfeld and the two have plenty of material on wax.

“I told you I could drop two albums this year,” he told host Sway Calloway. “I talked to Jerry.”

“Comedy’s art, man. The ability to make somebody feel something: that’s art,” Wale said. “However you look at it, whether you’re an author, a painter, a singer, a rapper, a spoken-word artist — art. So I see the art in the show. I see the art in the dialogue in the show, how you can conceptualize some of the conversations that they have on that show. It’s a lot of genius that goes into that, and I appreciate it.”

The next big animated film is here; created by the same folks at the equally-celebrity filled Ice Age series, Epic will feature the voices of King Bey & Pitbull, along with Colin Farrell, Steven Tyler and Aziz Ansari. Beyonce spoke on getting the lead role in the film, which premiered May 24th:

“I’ve always imagined being in an animated film. I’ve always wanted to be a queen…Queen Tara is very important in Epic. She’s preserved the beauty of her natural world and the safety of her people.”

You can check out the synopsis of the movie below as well (above is the official trailer).

Epic is a 3D CG action-adventure comedy that reveals a hidden world unlike any other. From the creators of Ice Age and Rio, Epic tells the story of an ongoing battle deep in the forest between the forces of good and the forces of evil. When a teen age girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she must band together with a rag-tag team of fun and whimsical characters in order to save their world…and ours.

Gucci Mane – Vulture Interview; Responds To Sex Scene Story

March 23, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff Interviews No Comments

Gucci Mane is a really intriguing figure: where you hear about him in the news, it paints this picture of an imbalanced, violent individual; but she you hear him speak or see his own words, he’s pretty good people….and his recent interview with Vulture is a good example of that. Definitely hit up the link to check out the full interview, but I just wanted to show you guys his response to the hilarious sex scene story that Spring Breakers director Harmony Korine told recently:

Harmony told us that you fell asleep while they were filming your sex scene. Did that really happen?
Yes, I was knocked out. I was tired. I had a concert down there in St. Petersburg, one of the days I had to shoot a scene. Same time, same night. We started shooting at ten o’clock in the evening until one or two o’clock. I was extremely tired because Harmony would work for almost 48 hours straight, I think. Even though Harmony is a close friend and a great director, he’s a hard boss. Make sure you put that in bold letters. [Laughs.]

Were you actually having sex, or was it just simulated? It’s confusing from what he says.
I tried to have some. [Laughs.] They just wouldn’t let me. It was simulated, but, you know, I wish it wasn’t.
