"I've been really lucky in this, that it was a practical set. They minimized the amount of green screen quite heavily, so we had these incredibly big, huge scale sets, and it's the same on 'Game of Thrones,' " he said. "I've actually worked in a very practical way with stunts and things. It was the same on ['Seventh Son']. I'm lucky in that way. It was fun for that reason."

The controversial -- and nudity-filled -- video for Robin Thicke's " Blurred Lines " has attracted so much attention lately that one might assume it's behind the song's seven-week stint atop the Hot 100, an impressive reign that Billboard described this week as the longest so far in 2013.[img]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PopHiss/~4/exp2WmdHXSQ[/img] [url=http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/PopHiss/~3/exp2WmdHXSQ/la-et-ms-robin-thickes-blurred-lines-radio-audience-record-20130726,0,4749230.story]View the full article[/url]

By Maurice Bobb The jury’s still out on whether or not DJ Khaled’s marriage proposal to Nicki Minaj via MTV News will bear fruit, but longtime friend and collaborator Rick Ross is already offering up a wedding present should the Pink Friday MC say “I do”: A car. “No tellin’ what type of car I may give ‘em as a gift if they was to tie the knot,” Rozay told Los Angeles' Power 106 host Rikki Martinez on Friday (July 26). “If they tie the knot, I have to most definitely represent like a boss.” The Maybach Music Group Bawse, who guest stars on the Starz network’s “Magic City” tonight as “Butterball,” hadn’t seen the video that made Khaled a trending topic on Twitter before Rikki showed it to him on the spot, but like everyone else who’s seen Khaled utter the words, “Nicki Minaj, will you marry me?" with a straight face, he’s waiting to hear what Nicki has to say. “We gotta wait,” Ross said. “What Nicki saying? What are the Beliebers…what’s Nicki’s? The Barbz.” (This is what they're saying). Ross may have been a bit confused on what to call Nicki’s diehard fans, but he knows the power they have. The "American Idol" judge has yet to officially respond, but she did retweet a story about the proposal, letting on that she is very much aware of the Suffering From Success rapper/producer’s plea for her hand in matrimony. Additionally, Ross said on air that he had heard “chatter” that Khaled wanted to propose to the voluptuous YMCMB empress last year on the video set of “Take It To The Head,” but couldn’t say that he “knew” for sure. The Mastermind rapper tipped his hat to the half a million dollar engagement ring the “No New Friends” maestro purchased to pop the question and let it be known that whatever the outcome, he has his boy’s back. “As long as he happy, I’m happy,” he said.

Big Sean's sophomore album Hall of Fame album arrives on August 27, and today the G.O.O.D. Music rapper unveiled the LP's artwork on Instagram--though he was extra careful to cover up that tracklist. “This is the album you’ve been waiting for whether you know or not,” Sean told fans, adding that his standard and deluxe covers were both "Too Fresh." A few months back Sean told MTV News that he'd gotten very positive feedback when previewing the album for his peers and even critics. "Everybody I've been playing it for has been shocked from rappers, from 'Ye. I played it for Cole, No I.D., Billboard magazine all these different people and everybody has just been blown away," he said. "I'm not trying to hype it up or talk it up but it's obviously the best work I've done and I'm excited about it." Check out the reveal below.

This might come as a surprise to you, but "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/439798/moviemain.jhtml"]The Wolverine[/url]" is actually pretty good. If you've been paying attention the "X-Men" franchise for the last decade, here's how things looked before the new standalone film: [url="""][img]http://mtv.mtvnimages.com/uri/mgid:uma:content:mtv.com:1711220?width=512&height=288[/img][/url]1) "X-Men: Last Stand" capped off the original trilogy by essentially spitting in the face of the comic book fans and killing half the cast for little to no reason. 2) "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" drove the franchise even further off the road and gave us the worst CGI claws ever. They're [url="http://www.chud.com/articles/content_images/17/Wolverine.gif"]literally[/url] [url="http://i.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/hugh-jackman-x-men-origins-wolverine-sucked.gif"]the[/url] [url="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mefa8tAyOj1qft2nco1_500.gif"]worst[/url]. 3) "X-Men: First Class" was a surprisingly great retooling the property that did away with pretty much everything from the Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner films. So basically, "X-Men" had one good thing going for it and a lot to make up for, and the prospect of another standalone Wolverine movie — forgive me — didn't seem all that promising, especially with trailers that looked frighteningly similar to "Origins." (Mangold has since [url="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/22/james-mangold-the-wolverine_n_3606798.html"]addressed the previews[/url].) But there are five very good reasons to give "The Wolverine" a chance, and you can find them after the jump! [b]Hugh Jackman[/b] Here's a guy that works his ass off, playing a character he genuinely loves. This is the sixth movie that Jackman has appeared in as Wolverine, and he's better at it in "The Wolverine" than he has ever been. It's because he gets Logan, and here the filmmakers actually give him the room to show it. In the "First Class" cameo and "The Wolverine," Jackman has proven that he and his take on the character are better than "Origins." [b]Characters That Make Sense[/b] Sometimes it's nice when the good guys are good and you know why they're good. The same thing goes for the bad guys. Even if some of the motivation on the part of the villains is a little shaky and amounts to little more than "she's evil," there is very little confusion about what happens in "The Wolverine," and that isn't to say it's simplistic. It's clear and makes it very easy to sit back and enjoy. [b]Actual Humor[/b] In a lot of ways, "The Wolverine" is like Clint Eastwood movie. Not anything he directed, but something you might catch on a second-rate movie channel during a weekday. Clint's there, being Clint, and that's all you need. He'll kill a few bad guys, and then say something funny because he's hard-ass. That's exactly what happens in "The Wolverine" on a number of perfectly timed occasions, injecting just enough humor into the movie. [b]Shock Value[/b] Considering the heading of this section, it's hard to discuss without spoiling, so I'll watch my words carefully here. There are two truly surprising scenes in "The Wolverine" that will catch just about everyone off guard, something not all summer movies can say. [b]The Stringer[/b] How is it possible that after five years of Marvel Studios after-credit stingers, no other studio has figured out how to copy it correctly? "The Amazing Spider-Man" was a complete misunderstanding of the concept. "Green Lantern" came close, but no one saw it. Fox is making a big play to establish a universe (aka what every other superhero is doing post-"Avengers"), and this was their first significant move towards that. Definitely stick around through the first set of credits, but don't wait until the very end. There's only one extra scene.

Timbaland's bond with Aaliyah runs deep, so much so that the super producer is admitting his emotions made him criticize Chris Brown's collaboration with the late singer too harshly. In a recent interview with Revolt TV, Timb had some unpleasant words Breezy and Drake for working on Aaliyah collaborations without his help, but on Thursday night (July 25), he took to Twitter and apologized...but only to Chris Brown. "i want 2 publicly apologize 2 my lil homie @chrisbrown 4 my statements on revolt regarding the Aaliyah collaborations. i actually like the song wit him n Aaliyah, its just when you are talking about babygirl its a very sensitive subject with me," Timbo wrote. "so the people who not only worked with her but grew a bond so tight we are like family so im very over protective over her. I have mad luv 4 my dude @chrisbrown." "a mother lost a daughter. a brother lost a sister. that is still grieving over her passing. it just a very sensitive subject," he added. "i just want the family to be respected." We guess Drake should still refer to Timbaland's previous statements?

By Nakiya Morgan “Imma be your warrior, Imma make sure you’re safe with me.” Although his album X was pushed back from its initial July 16 release date, Chris Brown is giving Team Breezy something else to look forward to. Last night, the “Love More” singer debuted a new track on his Chris Brown Channel called “Go to War For Ya.” The video features a shirtless Breezy smoking in the kitchen while the previously recorded track flows in the background. The smooth R&B record is definitely something that both the ladies and fellas can bump to. Breezy talks about making love to his girl and being the warrior who keeps her safe. He even hits us with a rap verse to top it all off. “I’m just a little n---- from a small town. I try to keep a small circle but these f--- n---- always try to come around,” Breezy rhymes over the 90’s summer time beat. Hopefully this new joint makes the cut for X. Chris Brown’s album is due August 20. Check out Breezy’s new song above. [url=http://rapfix.mtv.com/2013/07/26/chris-brown-debuts-new-track-go-to-war-for-ya/]View the full article[/url]

(Jay-Z and Beyonce perform at the Barclays Center) By Maurice Bobb Is Brooklyn in the house? Definitely, thanks to the emergence of the Barclays Center. According to the new issues of Billboard and Pollstar magazines, Brooklyn’s new arena ranks as the top-grossing U.S. venue for concerts and family shows and has sold more tickets in these categories than any other venue for the first six months of 2013. “We are proud to have become a destination venue that has been recognized globally in a short period of time,” said Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center. “After receiving terrific feedback from promoters of major artists last week in Los Angeles, we are confident that we will expand our programming schedule and be in an even better position in year two of Barclays Center.” The Barclays no doubt owes much of its success to the Brooklyn Nets, who call the arena home and Jay-Z, who opened the venue with a string of sold-out shows. The Magna Carta Holy Grail MC said in a recent interview with The Truth’s Elliott Wilson that he’d moved on to helming the Roc Nation Sports Agency because he’d done what he set out to do for BK. "I think my job was done with the Nets," Hov said. "They got to Brooklyn. I played my part in that, even the look and design and attitude of the Brooklyn Nets." Yormark hopes to duplicate the success of the Barclays with the renovation of Nassau Coliseum. Yormark, along with Jay, will downsize the mammoth arena to 13,000 seats, with a 2,500-seat outdoor amphitheater and 50,000 square feet of retail space built on-site. “As we prepare for the opportunity to renovate and operate Nassau Coliseum, we anticipate replicating our success at Barclays Center in Nassau,” he said.

By Joseph 'JP' Patterson Mobb Deep’s Prodigy is a fan of dance music. Who knew? Last week, the rapper and "H.N.I.C" author put it out there in Twitter land that he wanted to give one of his classics a UK garage makeover, and DJ Q -- a well-known British producer -- saw the tweet and reached out. Prodigy's "Gangsta Love," featuring Esther Seems, has now been transformed into a soon-to-be "EDM" essential. "I was on twitter and my friend, (@illrjana), retweeted Prodigy's tweet about him wanting a UK garage remix of one of his tracks," DJ Q explained to RapFix. "I tweeted him back, he followed me, we started going back and forth, and here's the outcome." DJ Q continued: "Prodigy’s a legend, so this is all a bit crazy. I’m more shocked at the fact he likes UK garage, to be honest. I highly respect him for wanting to try new things. As soon as Prodigy showed me the original, I knew it was going to work. Esther’s vocals on the track fit the UK style perfectly." Are you a fan of the remix of "Gangsta Love"?
