Last night Casey Veggies held a listening session for the iTunes release of his Sleeping In Class mixtape at the Roc-A-Wear Showroom. The Masked Gorilla was on hand and provided a recap of the night’s festivities.
Straight off the iPhone: Here’s some footage of the scuffle that took place at the Palms. Fab isn’t in the camera but you can clearly see Ray J and the Money Team. Ha! I guess now this story can be laid to rest
Check out the tracklisting after the jump.
We’re reinvigorated and we feel like these younger, hungrier kids put a battery in our back. Our fans deserve the best music we can make. Stoupe made great albums with us, but he’s moved in a different direction as a producer, so we decided this was the best move for us to make sure we give you guys the best music we can. Regardless, Jus and I feel like we made a great record. I’ve made plenty of other albums with other producers. You guys know AOTP. You know my solo shit. Some of you even said that my solo album was the best work I’ve done to date, including all of the JMT albums. Don’t worry, that classic hardcore JMT shit is coming on October 25th. Just trust me. I’ve never let you down in 15 years. Give us the benefit of the doubt and listen with an open mind! The music business is crazy right now.
Most artists disappear after one album or one single. We’ve been fortunate to have a 15-year run, which could’ve never happened without our fans! The last thing we want to do is to try to pull the wool over your eyes, so we wanted to let you know upfront about Stoupe, but also let you know that we’re still Jedi Mind Tricks. We still are, and always will be, making hardcore shit no matter who man’s the boards.

In the last 10 years, John Singleton has made some unexpected choices, and perhaps as a result, his career has taken some unusual turns. Between 2001 and 2005 he revisited the ‘hood with “Baby Boy,†directed a big-league Hollywood sequel with “2 Fast 2 Furious,†and helmed the drama “Four Brothers,†but it’s taken six years for him to return to the director’s chair with the new thriller “Abduction.â€
According to online sources, Singleton has a variety of projects in development, but at the Los Angeles press day for “Abduction,†the filmmaker revealed that he may be reuniting with his “Boyz N the Hood†star Ice Cube for a project that sounds close to both of their hearts.
“I can’t talk about it too prematurely about the stuff I’m doing because nothing’s come to fruition yet, but Cube and I are talking about doing the N.W.A. story,†Singleton told The Playlist. “The script is really, really good, and so we’re just figuring it out. New Line really wants to make it.â€
The first news of a proposed N.W.A. film came in 2009 when Cube announced that he planned to produce a film about his days as a member of the influential gangsta rap group. Currently, four writers, including Andrea Berloff, S. Leigh Savidge, Alan Wenkus and Matt Alvarez, are attached to the project, and Cube is joined as a producer by David Engel, Bill Strauss, and Tomica Wright. Given New Line’s tenuous future as an arm of Warner Bros., it remains to be seen whether Singleton and Cube will be able to get the project going at the studio, much less at all. But as a publicist observed as the interview ended, “the soundtrack would be insane.†The proposed title of the film? Why, “Straight Outta Compton,†of course.
