Hip-Hop Rumors: Is “Duck Down: The Movie” Coming Soon?!

Red Bull Music Academy held a special concert in New York City a few days ago featuring the Duck Down Records family, along with a panel discussion with label founder Dru Ha and rappers Buckshot and Skyzoo. Duck Down’s head honcho and his partners spoke on the label’s creation, and shared some funny and crazy stories about their ties with Tupac Shakur right before his tragic murder. (LIKE…Mama Shakur started labeling his soda with a “Do not drink Pac’s soda” sign after the ravenous Duck Down gang nearly ate and drank them out of house and home!!!) After the lively Red Bull chat, fans got it in with questions – one of which was about the possibility of all of those good stories being turned into a movie based on the history of Duck Down. Without hesitation, the ever-eager Buckshot answered: “You know what, real soon. Hopefully. It’s like Dru [Ha] said with the music, although we want to do things and we see it happening tomorrow, it does have to be organic and it has to be real. A lot of times we get scripts and we get movie opportunities but it just might not necessarily be stuff that fits Duck Down at the time. We’re not just going to do no fake sh*t just so we can be in a movie. We’re going to wait for the right opportunity.” “It would be a good movie. We’ve got it in our minds,” Dru Ha added. Would you want to see a Duck Down movie? Can’t you just see Sean Price playing himself as no one else could?? Sound off !

Earlier this year, Dru Ha announced that he would be running the ING New York City Marathon on November 6th in remembrance of his father and in support of the disease that affects over 5 million people in the United States. “I’m running it for the Alzhiemer’s Disease Foundation, a team called Run to Remember, based out of New York City. My father this past January passed away from Alzhiemers and I just felt like I needed to do something really challenging that personal to me and that would pay tribute to the man that he was,” Dru Ha said of his pursuit to complete the marathon. To date, Dru Ha has raised over $10,000 in donations for the disease
