  1. I wanna walk up to someone and call them a Damn Jabroni! #RockStatus

  2. By Rob Markman New York, NY-- There was a packed house at New York City's Best Buy Theatre, but when Slaughterhouse took the stage on Thursday night there was a notable vacancy. Two songs into Slaughterhouse's set the quartet revealed that Jersey City rapper Joe Budden wouldn't take part in the night's festivities because he was arrested for a warrant stemming from a 2007 traffic violation. Just a few minutes after 10 p.m. Joell Ortiz opened the show when he took the stage reciting his verse to the group's fan-favorite "The Illest." Long Beach, California MC Crooked I followed, but there was a visible absence. The DJ cued up "Sound Off" next and Royce da 5'9" marched out spewing his patented Detroit venom, but with three quarters of the Slaughterhouse machine on stage, Joe Budden's absence was glaring. It was then that Slaughterhouse announced their outspoken bandmate had been arrested by the NYPD. In full support, the crowd began to shout "Joey, Joey, Joey," without any prompting from Joell, Crook or Nickel Nine. The group then went into a portion of their infamous 2011 B.E.T. Hip-Hop Award Show cypher. Joell spit his verse and then went into his solo underground gem "Hip-Hop." Budden was missed, but the now-three-headed lyrical Shady Records monster carried on. There was no "Pump It Up" or Mood Muzik verses, but Budden's band of brothers still repped performing their solo hits as well as posse cuts like "Microphone" and "Hammer Dance." That didn't stop the crowd from chanting for Joe Budden. "We love Joey too, chanting for him ain't gonna get him outta jail," Royce responded.

  9. By Kevin Lavi Birdman has always had a keen eye for talent, most notable when looking back at the signing of Lil Wayne in the summer of 1991 when he was only 9-years-old. Now, with the immense amount of success that Birdman and Cash Money Records have achieved, Stunna has his eyes on bigger talents: Rick Ross and Game. In an interview with Complex Magazine Birdman was asked what artists he would like to sign to Cash Money. "Wow. There’s a lot of acts I’d like to work. I got a lot of respect for Rozay and what he accomplishing with his brand and his team” Birdman told Complex, adding “DJ Khaled. I like Jeezy. I like Game. In time, I’ll be working with some of them.” When asked if he would consider signing Rick Ross to his label after he is finished completing his fifth and final album for Def Jam, Birdman responded by saying “if the time ever came, we gonna G up and make it happen. Right now he signed to Def Jam, but when the time do come, I’m gonna be right there waiting.” I got nothing but love and respect for Rozay,” Birdman continued, “I watched him do it and he did it from nothing. He’s still grounded and that’s what I love about him. He’s got a solid team. They’ve got some great music over there.” Baby had similar comments to make about possibly signing Game to Cash Money, “I know that I told Game, if the time come I would love to sign Game. I think he’s a very talented artist. But right now he’s signed with Interscope, maybe he’s got another album. But when time comes, I’m gonna be there for him too.” It’s no wonder Birdman would want to sign Rozay to Cash Money. Back in February our panel of experts named Rick Ross the Hottest MC In The Game.

  11. For as long as we've known about definite plans for the two planned "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/301495/moviemain.jhtml"]Avatar[/url]" sequels, [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/9282/personmain.jhtml"]James Cameron[/url] has talked openly about his ambition to explore the oceans of Pandora. Back on Earth, Cameron has been busy exploring the oceans we all know in his solo trips to the very bottom. When MTV UK spoke with Cameron during promotions for "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/115762/moviemain.jhtml"]Titanic 3D[/url]," the director said that his dives will influence the further adventures of the Na'vi in some way. He's just not sure how yet. [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/03/29/james-camerons-deep-sea-dive-will-influence-avatar-sequels/"][img]http://mtv.mtvnimages.com/uri/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:754197?height=288&width=512[/img][/url] "The 'Avatar' films, of which you've only seen one, will always be heavily influenced by the ocean and by my exploration and my diving and all that," Cameron said. "So I'm not sure exactly how what I find on this expedition will manifest itself in those movies, but I guarantee there will be some connection." But before Cameron lines up his next trips to Pandora, he's urging people to experience "Titanic" on the big screen, the way it was meant to be seen. A new ad for the 3D re-release of "Titanic" provides the perfect example of how [i]not[/i] to experience the second biggest movie of all time. The spot begins with the classic image of [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/16710/personmain.jhtml"]Leonardo DiCaprio[/url] sketching a person most people would presume is [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/166088/personmain.jhtml"]Kate Winslet[/url]. Most people would be very, very wrong.

  12. By Elizabeth Lancaster From the Oscar stage to Spring Break, James Franco is proving he can do it all. Former MTV reality star Riff Raff, who appeared on "From G's to Gents," starring Fonzworth Bentley, has just announced that James Franco will be playing him in a new film called “Spring Breakers.” Even with Franco’s endless variety of characters and occupations in his past, this will be a fresh and distinct role for him. Riff Raff commented on the importance of Franco understanding him and his personal style while embodying this role, explaining, "I sent him a few things. But all you gotta do [to see how I dress] is search through my videos. I got a pretty distinct style, with the braids, the jewelry." We can’t wait to see Franco step up to the challenge. The movie is currently being filmed with the rest of the film's diverse ensemble including Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez and Gucci Mane. Just as exciting as this assortment of artists is the premise of the movie itself. Four college girls arrested and put in jail for robbing a restaurant (for their spring break vacation fund) are bailed out by a drug and arms dealer (James Franco), who expects them to do some dirty work. With that cast, plot, and director Harmony Korine (the creator of “Kids”) we can only expect bold things.

  14. You can always count on siblings to put you in your place. When Pusha T released his freestyle over the beat to Drake's single "Don't F--- With Me" last fall, one line in particular stood out as a shot at Drake ("The swag don’t match the sweaters") and his eccentric sweater selections, but the G.O.O.D. Music rapper has always denied that any shots were fired. Too bad his brother Malice--excuse us, we mean No Malice--finally outed him in a recent interview, where he says that he wants Pusha to stop picking on Drake. "I want Pusha to stop picking on Drake, I like Drake," No Malice told BET in an interview. "Yeah I like Drake." Can't deny it now, can you Pusha? Either way, Drake wasn't too perturbed about the whole thing. In a February interview with Vibe he brushed it off, saying, "I’ve been really open about my love for the Clipse. I don’t know [why he dissed me], maybe that guy is bored." Doubtful that this is the last time another rapper will take jabs at him. No Malice is currently working on a new mixtape Hear Ye Him, which he's expected to roll out later this year. "As far as features, you're definitely going to get The Re-Up Gang of course, my brother, Ab-Liva definitely," he says. "I've been working with Chad from The Neptunes, and Pharrell also. Boi-1da, and myself are about to do something as well. The first single is titled 'Different.'"

  15. 50 Cent - Music News By Jocelyn Vena 50 Cent enlisted comedy legend Joan Rivers to make a cameo in his commercial for his Street King energy drink. Decked out in chinchilla, the feisty icon tries her best to seduce the beefed-up MC in the ad, which will also feature Fiddy’s label signee and MTV star, Pauly D. In between takes at a NYC-area Planet Fitness where they were shooting the commercial, Rivers chatted with MTV News and we just had to know: Is 50 Cent funny? “He is adorable,” she dished. “I didn’t know what to expect. I thought I was going to get a smart-ass rapper and he is adorable and smart and cute and funny. He’s just adorable. He certainly understands what we’re doing, which is lovely cause he’s making it fun to improvise.” There was certainly lots of improvising going on in terms of the ways that she tried to seduce the rapper. We weren’t on hand to see if she was successful (we’ll have to wait for the finished product), but she seemed a bit surprised that we were surprised by the pairing. “Yes, excuse me! Why so surprised?” she joked. “I dated his father a dollar thirty for years. We were an item. People thought it was what I cost, but we were an item. 50 can be my son, 50 can be my lover. We could have dated with Demi and Ashton, if this was two years ago.” [url=http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/03/29/50-cent-joan-rivers-street-king-commercia/]View the full article[/url]
  16. This Friday marks the release of the first of two "Snow White" films coming out this year. Whether it wants to or not, "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/471505/moviemain.jhtml"]Mirror Mirror[/url]" will be the project that "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/467134/moviemain.jhtml"]Snow White and the Huntsman[/url]"—due out in June—will inevitably [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/11/16/snow-white-mirror-mirror-trailer/"]be compared to[/url]. When MTV News sat down with Prince Charming himself, [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/452190/personmain.jhtml"]Armie Hammer[/url], the "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/407441/moviemain.jhtml"]Social Network[/url]" star said that there were no hard feelings between the two films because, put simply, he thinks "Mirror Mirror" is better. [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/03/29/armie-hammer-mirror-mirror-snow-white/"][img]http://mtv.mtvnimages.com/uri/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:752988?height=288&width=512[/img][/url] "I'm interested to see what they did, absolutely," he said about "Snow White and the Huntsman." "I think that what we did was family friendly. Parents are going to go to it and enjoy it almost as much as the kids will. They're going to have a really good time. I think everybody will." But Hammer wasn't going to let the interview end without putting up a bit more of an argument than that. Of course he feels his movie is better than Kristen Stewart's! And he wanted to make sure the audience feels that way too. "Our movie kicks that movie's ass. Let's be honest. And we're out first and, I mean, come on. No, I'm just kidding," he said with a laugh, adding that he expected to be cut off by a publicist for saying that type of stuff about "Snow White and the Huntsman." When he wasn't, though, he threw down his final gauntlet. "Our Rotten Tomatoes score is going to be so much higher," he joked. [i]Do you plan on seeing "Mirror Mirror" when it comes out tomorrow? Which movie do you think looks better: this or "Snow White and the Huntsman"?

  17. Roger Kisby/ Getty Images Back in February drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross was gearing up for a showdown with rapper Rick Ross in court over what he felt was the illegal use of his name, but it seems that the battle royale has been cut short. TMZ reports that an L.A. County Superior Court judge has thrown out the case, allowing Rick Ross to keep his alias and skip the drama. Freeway first targeted Ross with a $10 million lawsuit over the name, but that was dismissed in 2010 and he followed up by pushing in court. In a February interview with TheBoomBox, the crime boss threw some harsh words at Rozay. “We're still going to be doing depositions for the next couple weeks. The judge ruled that she's going to make this a public trial. As soon as she makes the final ruling, I'll be releasing William Roberts' [aka Rick Ross] deposition publicly,” Freeway told TheBoomBox. “I can't wait, so everyone can see what a clown he is. The way he clowned me. He shook all the white people's hand in the room and totally disrespected me in the room. When they get to see some of the things he says on camera ... I couldn't believe some of the things he said on camera. Let the world see it. [url=http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/03/29/rick-ross-wins-namelawsuit-freeway-rick-ross/]View the full article[/url]
  18. [img]http://torrentfreak.com//images/tpb.jpg[/img]As [url="http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-founders-to-spend-sentences-in-three-separate-jails-120320/"]revealed[/url] earlier this month, Swedish authorities have now decided where the founders of The Pirate Bay plus one time site ‘financier’ Carl Lundström will serve their sentences. There is, however, the still unresolved situation involving Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm. From the date of the first appeal in September 2010, Svartholm (aka Anakata) has been somewhat of an enigma. First, he failed to attend that hearing due to an illness which left him too sick to leave hospital in Cambodia. Then, despite having backed up his original absence with a medical certificate, Svartholm failed to appear at a subsequent hearing prompting an [url="http://torrentfreak.com/jail-sentence-for-pirate-bay-co-founder-made-final-111014/"]announcement[/url] last year that the District Court ruling of 2009 against him (1 year in prison and a share of the damages) would be made permanent. [img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/anakata.jpg[/img]Svartholm should have returned to Sweden to begin serving his sentence January 2nd this year, but again he was nowhere to be seen. The authorities had been prepared for him to spend his sentence in the reportedly fairly relaxed Svartsjö open prison where it’s said that inmates enjoy a range of sports, saunas, and a solarium. But the no-show means that Svartholm is now required to serve his sentence in the Category 2 Mariefred prison roughly 65 km outside Stockholm. He now has until April 18th to hand himself in before police begin looking for him. “When the person fails to appear, we make an inquiry via the police,” [url="http://ekuriren.se/nyheter/2.3771/1.1388797-pirate-bay-grundare-efterlyst-av-polisen"]says[/url] Chief Officer of Probation Helena Lundberg. “We hope they are apprehended and taken to prison.” On recent form it seems increasingly unlikely that the 27-year-old will appear, with one-time Pirate Bay spokesman Peter Sunde speculating recently that Svartholm may even be dead. [img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/Mariefred.jpg[/img] Sunde’s situation is also unclear. Although he [url="http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-founders-to-spend-sentences-in-three-separate-jails-120320/"]is required[/url] to spend his 8 month sentence in the Västervik Norra prison, his lawyer Peter Althin has hinted that there may some sort of appeal in the spring. Fredrik Neij, aka TiAMO, was told he will spend 10 months in Kirseberg prison in Malmö, Sweden. Neij has made no secret of his time in Thailand during recent years but his current whereabouts are unknown. Soon-to-be 52-year-old businessman Carl Lundström will [url="http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-fin-will-serve-sentence-electronically-tagged-120319/"]spend[/url] his 4 month ‘jail’ sentence in the community, alternating his time between a Gothenburg apartment and a work placement. Finally, the not insignificant matter of money, specifically the 46 million kronor the Pirate Bay four are required to hand over to the movie and recording company plaintiffs to compensate them for their claimed losses. That’s roughly $6.9 million dollars but it doesn’t stop there since there is a significant amount of interest to be added. As of a month ago the amount owed had [url="http://www.sydsvenskan.se/kultur-och-nojen/pressade-pirater"]jumped[/url] nearly 60% to 73 million kronor – $10.97 million. Or put it another way, an extra $1 million each for Neij, Sunde, Svartholm and Lundström. “According to the Enforcement Authority, the interest has been ticking since 31st May 2006, which is the date that ends the period in which according to the prosecutors their crimes were committed,” Swedish journalist [url="http://www.arvidjurjaks.se/"]Arvid Jurjaks[/url] informed TorrentFreak. But as the founders have made clear for a long time, this amount could be a billion each, they don’t plan on paying anything. The authorities simply can’t find any assets in their names in Sweden. They did find 225,000 kronor ($33,800) belonging to Lundström, but the successful businessman probably won’t worry too much about that.

  20. By Rob Markman Nicki Minaj's sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded isn't set to debut until April 3, but, as we've learned only Jay and Ye have the power to keep an album under wraps until it's scheduled release date. The LP leaked to the web this week, and although it's classified as a hip-hop project, confining it to one genre just doesn't seem fair. The first half of Roman Reloaded recalls Nicki the Ninja's mixtape days, where she spewed nothing but venom on tracks like "I Get Crazy" and "Itty Bitty Piggy." The album opener, "Roman Holiday," isn't unfamiliar, but the theatrical track which Nicki brought to life at the 2012 Grammys makes more sense in the context of the LP. The vaudevillian hook gives way to some pretty clever rhymes that many may have missed during the much-panned televised performance. "Anyway stylists go get Bulgari/ I am the ultimate Svengali/ You bitches can't even spell that/ You hoes buggin' repel that," she spits before getting schizophrenic, switching up to a flow that has hints of the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. Nicki Minaj Is A 'Champion' With Nas, Drake, Young Jeezy Features Sure, Nicki is a pop icon, but these days, so are Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. The Young Money superstar refuses to give up any rap ground, however, and the first seven tracks from Roman Reloaded are unapologetically street. The Hit-Boy-produced "Come On a Cone" and "I Am Your Leader" are both anchored by bass-rattling beats and both find Nicki (as Roman) inviting haters to her figurative male genitalia. On the latter, the Female Weezy pounds her chest alongside Rick Ross and Cam'ron, baiting her competition with lines like: "Nunchuck her, no time to duck her/ Sign of the cross 'cause this is her last supper." Roman Reloaded has more rap features than her 2010 debut: 2 Chainz shows up for "Beez in the Trap" and Wayne appears twice, once on the title track and then again on "Sex in the Lounge." Nicki then gives the hood some inspiration with Nas, Drake and Young Jeezy in tow on the uplifting "Champion," but shortly after that, the bipolar LP takes a sharp turn. Rather than mix hip-hop with her ever-growing pop sensibilities, Nicki presents Roman Reloaded as a two-parter. If cassettes were still the music medium of choice, there'd be a stark contrast between the A and B sides. Nicki Minaj Shows More Skin On 'Starships' Video Set RedOne's pulsating sound dominates on the Harajuku Barbie's current top 10 single "Starships" and continues for five songs straight — the sequencing is not coincidental. "Pound the Alarm" is an adrenaline-laced fist-pumper, and "Whip It" proves that the reigning rap queen picked up quite a few tricks touring alongside Britney Spears last year. "Automatic" is another sweat-inducing dance anthem that should keep Minaj on the charts while her rap fare will keep her in the conversation amongst the hottest MCs. Over the course of 19 tracks, the Barbs should find a song to suit their every mood. "Fire Burns" for when they're nursing heartbreak, "Marilyn Monroe" for when the world seems to be just too much and "Hov Lane" when they want to celebrate their relative victories. Since her come-up days, Nick has refused to be put in a box. With her cocksure rap demeanor, it's hard to ignore her hip-hop roots, but when you factor in her ability to craft a popular tune, the possibilities become endless. Roman Reloaded is a further realization of those infinite possibilities, so instead of defining Nicki Minaj by category, maybe it's time to give her own genre.

[url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/03/27/game-of-thrones-robb-stark/"]Robb Stark[/url] is someone we can all root for, but like his father, humor isn't exactly his game. Which is why it's refreshing to have a friendlier face in the mix of this battle. Someone like...

Following the death of his elder brother Robert, Renly has taken it upon himself to become the Baratheon that Westeros needs -- but just because he's likable doesn't make him the right man for the job. [b]Where's He From?[/b] Renly hails from Storm's End, where he was raised by Maester Cressen alongside brothers Robert and Stannis. He served on his brother's small council during his reign as king; since Robert's death, Renly has fled Kings Landing to aggressively pursue his place as king, establishing key allies in the process. [b]The King's Court[/b] The young stag is surrounded by a wide assortment of trusted allies: his new wife Margery of House Tyrell for one, perhaps the wealthiest high house in the Seven Kingdoms after the Lannisters. Renly also has his elite Rainbow Guard protecting him, including warrior woman Brienne of Tarth and Renly's secret lover (and his wife's brother) Loras. [b]What Does He Do?[/b] Right now, aside from aligning himself with the right folks and keeping his people happy, he doesn't do much. Renly is biding his time, enjoying the possibility of kingship through entertaining tournaments, jousts and the like. A far cry from the real blood that Joffrey and Robb are currently spilling. [b]Do We Like Him?[/b] Besides Robb, Renly is the most likable of the five kings. But he also has the worst claim: he is the youngest Baratheon behind the still living Stannis, the final player in the war. Even if Renly is the more personable brother, the crown should technically belong to his elder--assuming anyone cares about such traditions these days, which is a big assumption.

[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/190407/personmain.jhtml"]Will Ferrell[/url]—as alter ego Ron Burgundy—appeared on Wednesday's "Conan" to report breaking news, namely that the once-scrapped [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/03/29/will-ferrell-anchorman-2/"]"Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" sequel is now officially a go[/url] at Paramount, presumably with co-stars Steve Carell and Paul Rudd returning as hapless news team members Brick Tamland and Brian Fantana. All together now: Great Odin's raven! Of course, the announcement sparked plenty of speculation around the MTV Newsroom. Like, how did we get here? What will a sequel look like? And, most importantly, has San Diego stayed classy in the ensuing eight years? While you contemplate those important questions, we're adding one more to the mix: Which A-listers [i]must[/i] make cameos in the long-awaited comedy? Check out our wish list after the jump and chime in with your own picks in the comments section! [b]Ryan Gosling[/b] The universe has funnyman Carell to thank for convincing Gosling to show off his funny bone in last summer's "Crazy, Stupid, Love"—a sly performance that only hinted at baby goose's comedic potential. We're not saying "Anchorman 2" should feature another newscaster melee, but if it did, we have it on good authority [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/03/28/ryan-gosling-only-god-forgives/"]Gosling knows how to take a punch[/url]. [b]Jennifer Aniston[/b] Because, clearly, Aniston and Rudd haven't starred in enough projects together. If Brian Fantana indeed embraces his destiny as the host of "Intercourse Island," we envision Aniston as one of the reality series' train-wreck cast-offs who seduces Fantana with her Pantheress perfume and raw sexuality. [b]Gael Garcia Bernal[/b] Turnabout is fair play. We'd cast Ferrell's "Casa de Mi Padre" co-star Garcia Bernal in a small role as a rival German-language newscaster. [i]Guten Tag, San Diego![/i] [b]Elizabeth Banks[/b] Following in the footsteps of Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow himself, "40-Year-Old Virgin" star Elizabeth Banks would fill the token Apatow Gang cameo role. And the saucy minx's got plans. A happily every after for Ron and co-anchor Veronica Cornerstone (Christina Applegate) isn't a foregone conclusion. I mean, Ron's [i]clearly[/i] a desirable, irresistible man. Veronica will have a foe for his affections, and that foe will be named Elizabeth Banks. [b]Channing Tatum[/b] If we learned anything from the high-school-set comedy "21 Jump Street," it's that Abs Tatum is actually a pretty funny guy. That, coupled with his hosting gig on "SNL," in which he donned a wig and sensible suit to film a silly Super Bowl promo ad, has us convinced he could pull of a cheesey anchor role with aplomb. Or, he could just appear as a male stripper. That works too. [i]Who's on your "Anchorman 2" cameo wish list?
