X-Men Producer Calls Kanye A “Dumb N**ga”
Vlad TV reports:
X-Men producer John Palermo went on a racist rant on his Facebook page, and exclusively called out Kanye West after learning that the “Blood on the Leaves” rapper bought a house with Kim Kardashian in Bel-Air. The producer, who was once co-owner of Seed Productions with Hugh Jackman, seemed to knock Kim and Kanye’s style, calling their home a “poor Persian palace.”
“There goes the neighborhood!!! It looks like a Poor Persian Palace, where’s Kris Jenner when you need her?! #MoneyCantBuyADumbN****Class.”
Palermo had previously made shocking statements on his Facebook page, slinging gay slurs at Anderson Cooper and making other racist remarks about Julie Chen. He has since taken down the offensive messages, but claims he was only trying to raise awarness of the racism in Hollywood.
“Maybe people [who take offense] will look in the mirror and say, ‘When was the last time I called Les Moonves and asked for an African-American to play opposite me?'”

Big K.R.I.T. Gives Explanation Behind Upcoming Album Title
Big K.R.I.T. sat down with XXL to give them the explanation behind his album title for his sophomore album, Cadillactica. Read the except below.
Cadillactica—how did you come up with that name?
It’s just one of those things that I was thinking about, ’cause in my first cover Live From The Underground, it’s a Cadillac that has crash landed on planet earth. Just the whole storyline of being able to take you in reverse of where the Cadillac comes from. It’s creating this planet called Cadillactica where the soul and the funk comes from and being able to transcend my music with that idea. Diving deeper into what else can I do, how far can I take this record. How I can change these instruments and manipulate my voice; and make my voice an instrument. All these things to me are extremely important to really draw you in, to creatively try to do something totally different with this album. And I think it starts with the base of Cadillactica, you know, the planet of all this.“I feel like it’s important that I get out of my comfort zone for the sake of growth and my creativity and work with other people.”
