Hip-Hop Rumors: Frank Ocean Cancels Shows! Kanye Wants “All of the Lights” Turned On?
Frank Ocean Cancels NYC Show… Last night, while The Throne was tearing the roof off of the IZOD Center, Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean was set to perform at the Bowery Ballroom as part of his solo tour. Before the show’s start time last night, Ocean issued the following ‘statement’: “or should i say postponed. i played last night in new orleans, on antibiotics and some other meds. got sick a cpl days before i left los angeles. woke up this morning in new york and could barely speak. called a doctor to my hotel, got a steroid shot. took some more meds. laid in bed allday till soundcheck, got to the venue and could barely sing any of my songs. im really sorry yall. i been workin on this show for months, did everything i could to make it special for yall. i’ll be back soon as i’m healthy. thats my word. tickets will be valid for that, or you guys can get refunded. damn. this s### sucks.” Although a ton of fans were surely disappointed, there’s nothing you can do about not being able to sing when you’re a singer. Get well soon, Frank! Kanye Halts Concert Until “All Of the Lights” are Turned on… “Light man, where’s all my lights at?” [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCj0__i9C4U&w=420&h=315] The video above is from The Throne’s recent stop in Washington D.C. Tonight, they will be doing their thing at the first of a two-show stint at Madison Square Garden in NYC. Nothing wrong with a man wanting the lights on! LOL! Quickies: -Not only will Young Jeezy’s constantly delayed album, TM: 103, feature verses from Andre 3000 and Jay-Z, Eminem is also set to be featured the December 20 release. Find out five things about the album that you didn’t know HERE! -RZA joins cast of Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained which also stars Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Samuel L. Jackson. Bobby Digital will be playing…a slave? -For those following at home or even care, Beiber will be taking a paternity test and then suing the “baby mama.” -Drake and Rick Ross are working on a joint mixtape called Y.O.L.O. (You Only Live Once). According to Drake, “I’ve been working on that for the last couple of weeks. We haven’t really connected because he’s been going through this thing with his health. I’ve been stashing my little beats and verses.” -Earlier today, Lindsay Lohan began serving her 30-day jail sentence. In no time at all she was released for “prison overpopulation.” Someone do something, PLEASE! –A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas was originally intended to be titled: Harold & Kumar and the Legend of Eazy-E’s Stash. Obviously there would have been nothing Christmasy about it, and that would have been the right way to go as we’re sure those that saw it will agree!
Movie Review: “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas”
Just when you thought Harold and Kumar couldn’t possibly get any higher…they do, and they take their audience on a drug-induced, politically incorrect joy ride. Back with the 3rd installment of the cult heroes’ franchise, Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) are larger than life in 3D, and the ridiculous antics that ensue provide 90 minutes of “WTF?” laughs. A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas picks up with an all grown up Harold preparing to celebrate Christmas eve with his new wife and her Christmas tree-obsessed father-in-law, played by Danny Trejo (Machete). Across town, Harold’s still not so grown up ex-roommate is getting his high blown by his girlfriend’s stunning announcement. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R95TeZ9jE0Y&w=560&h=315] Fate intervenes as Kumar gets a package for Harold, and in his attempt to deliver the package to his former friend, he destroys the prized tree of his deranged in-law; thus the foolery begins, as the quest for a new tree gets underway. The ‘battle of the new BFFs’ also ensues, as Harold’s bestie Todd, played by Tom Lennon (Reno 911) and Kumar’s right hand Adrian, played by Amir Bluemenfeld (Pranked) play dumb and dumber with a toddler in tow. You might leave the theater mad at yourself for laughing at all of the inappropriate sexist, racist, and lewd remarks in A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, but you won’t be able to help yourself. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Harold and Kumar movie without Neil Patrick Harris, who will most certainly have to answer to a Higher Power for his encounter with Jesus in the film. But it makes for some of the most disturbingly funniest moments in the movie. Though sometimes utterly ridiculous – like their “claymation trip” – or disgustingly gruesome – like shooting Santa Claus – the latest installment definitely gets the holiday cheer of the season off to a HIGH-larious start. Though the movie has undertones of responsibility and growing up yada yada yada…let’s hope Harold and Kumar never do.
