With the exception of 1991's "Boyz N the Hood," these street tales were often left untold.

By Tamara Palmer The music of Tricky Stewart, a producer best known for creating smash hits like Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” with The-Dream (as well as hip-hop cuts for the likes of T.I. and Snoop Dogg), is about to get a lot more animated. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Stewart has agreed to take on the role of executive song producer for the forthcoming Dr. Seuss film “The Lorax.” He previously worked as the executive music producer of the Cher and Christina Aguilera film “Burlesque” in 2010. Based on a children’s book by the late, legendary author Dr. Seuss (who most famously wrote “The Cat in the Hat”), The Lorax is an animated love story (shot in 3D) with the voices of Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Betty White, and Danny DeVito. “I'm a big kid and I have a 15-month-old daughter so I'm constantly listening to sounds at home and watching what intrigues a child mentally or visually,” Stewart said. “And I love Dr. Seuss. That hat had mad swag.” Stewart’s visibility in the music business is continuing to increase. Last month, he accepted a position at Epic Records as president of A&R, tasked with discovering and developing new artists for the label. “The Lorax” is scheduled to open in theaters on March 2.

from on Vimeo. Super producer Swizz Beatz is in hot water with Universal Music Group over the promotion of his website Megaupload.com, according to reports that resurfaced today. As CEO of the online storage and file-sharing site, Beatz asked buddies Diddy, Kanye and Will.i.am to spread the buzz in a promotional video, the "Megaupload Mega Song," that the artists' label Universal Music Group allegedly did not approve. UMG issued a “take-down notice” late last year and Megaupload has responded with a counter lawsuit against the label. Kanye West, Chris Brown Promote Megaupload In Music Video The 4-minute clip features a slew of familiar faces singing the praises of the popular website, including Kanye West, Will.i.am, Diddy, Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, Snopp Dogg, Lil’ Jon, Kim Kardashian, Mary J Blige, Serena Williams and The Game. In other internet drama, a myriad of sites have gone black today to raise awareness against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and its sister legislation the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA). Both laws are designed prevent illegal downloading and copyright infringements by targeting websites that sell pirated movies, music and other products. Most notably, Wikipedia.com SOPA will be put to a vote on Jan. 24, 2012 in the Senate. Google is one of the largest organizations showing their support today, by blacking out the infamous Google doodle on their homepage. The White House has formally declared that it will not support SOPA as written. In an official statement , the administration states: "While we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet."

[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/171297/personmain.jhtml"]Michael Bay[/url] knows how he likes his movies: big, loud and sleek. In this exclusive behind the scenes look at the making of "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/422131/moviemain.jhtml"]Transformers: Dark of the Moon[/url]," members of the cast and crew recall what it was like working with the director's distinct style. [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/01/18/exclusive-transformers-featurette/"][img]http://mtv.mtvnimages.com/uri/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:726256?height=288&width=512[/img][/url] It's called ATT-ATT, and it stands for "All the toys, all the time." That basically sums up how Bay likes to shoot his films. When approaching a particular scene, the director prefers to have all different types of film equipment ready to go if inspiration strikes at any particular moment. It takes a reveal visionary to destroy the city of Chicago as thoroughly as Bay crushed it in "Dark of the Moon," and the crew attributes a lot of that look to ATT-ATT. The behind the scene featurette comes from the upcoming Blu-ray release of the third "Transformers" film on January 31, and in it we get to see Bay at work. In the clip, we see Bay explaining exactly where he wants the mechanical carnage to take place and how he wants it all to look. That can mean changing where destroyed cars sit on the streets of Chicago or how a car looks after it backs up into a piece of construction equipment. Leave it to [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/313344/personmain.jhtml"]Shia LaBeouf[/url] to put it best. "This the way the man works," he said.

"Juice" was released on January 17, 1992 and the film (which stars Khalil Kain, Omar Epps, Tupac Shakur and Samuel L. Jackson and more) was groundbreaking for hip-hop's presence in Hollywood. Twenty years later, "RapFix Live" will celebrate the game-changing movie with co-star Khalil Kain and Naughty by Nature, the hip-hop trio who contributed to the soundtrack. Starring Kain, Omar Epps, Samuel L. Jackson and Tupac Shakur in his first starring role, "Juice" told the story of four Harlem youths who try desperately to overcome the treacherous pull of the streets. Though Tupac had a cameo in 1991's "Nothing But Trouble," his true acting debut came when he first put his acting chops on display playing the maniacal Bishop. Co-star Kain played the more level-headed Raheem Porter. Before "Juice," there weren't many movies that effectively captured the harsh realities of the inner-city ghettos. With the exception of 1991's "Boyz N the Hood," these street tales were often left untold. The movie's soundtrack was also groundbreaking, featuring classic hip-hop cuts like Eric B. & Rakim's "Juice (Know the Ledge)," Too $hort's "So You Want to Be a Gangster" and Naughty by Nature's "Uptown Anthem." During their appearance on "RapFix Live," Naughty by Nature will talk about the lasting influence of the film, the soundtrack and working with Shakur. That's not all. "X Factor" rapper Astro will also join Sway on the "RapFix Live" couch and reveal which label he will sign his first record deal with. Catch Naughty by Nature, Khalil Kain and Astro on "RapFix Live" Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com, and be sure to join the Twitter conversation using the hashtag #RapFixLive.

By Nadeska Alexis NFL player Dez Bryant was involved in a scuffle at LIV nightclub in Miami’s Fontainebleau hotel over the weekend and according to the Miami New Times, Lil Wayne and his entourage may have been involved. Initial reports stated that the Cowboy’s wide receiver had been in an altercation with a “famous rapper,” and a Miami Herald reporter later added that a source from the MBPD, “said Lil Wayne was involved.” Lil Wayne Gives DMX A Warm Welcome At New Year's Bash The incident reportedly began after the rapper’s entourage taunted Bryant about having a lackluster football season, in addition to racking up debt in recent months. Last year Bryant made headlines for his legal issues, which included an $800,000 lawsuit from a jewelry store and a warning for criminal trespassing. His mentor David Wells spoke on his behalf, saying that Bryant had not been arrested, as early reports stated. Lil Wayne Explains Name Of Trukfit Clothing Line There has been no comment from Lil Wayne’s camp. When he’s not busy promoting his new Trukfit clothing line, the Young Money rapper has spent plenty of time partying in Miami. He rang in New Year’s 2012 with a bash at LIV, where he gave DMX some love, encouraging the veteran MC to take the stage and perform his hits like “Get At Me Dog” and “What These Bitches Want.” Related Lil Wayne Brings Trukfit Clothing Line To NYC [url=http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/01/18/lil-wayne-fights-with-cowboys-player-dez-bryant/]View the full article[/url]
