Have Gun, Will Travel Remake Starring Eminem Slated for 2010

Here's yet another Shady project that keeps getting pushed back. Eminem is slated to star in an upcoming film called "Have Gun, Will Travel" based on a T.V series from the late 50's.

The series was an old western based on a character called Paladin, which Eminem will be playing. Is this a chance for Eminem to start an acting career after he retires from rap? We'll see.

It won't be a western though, that's for sure. It's going to be a modern remake, which should be very interesting.

The movie is slated for release in 2010, after being pushed back from a 2008 release. It seems like lately, the only new news on any of Slim Shady's projects is that they keep getting pushed back :SIGH:.

Another Rap Movie Coming Out

Another Rap Movie, this time starring Run-DMC will come out. Does anyone know of a release date for this movie? It seems like yet another attempt to profit on or, from a more optimistic point of view, extend Jam Master Jays Career.

More information on the Run-DMC rap movie can be found at this web site.

Biggie movie Notorious getting bad reviews.

Biggies "new movie" Notorious has been getting bad reviews. People are upset that the people they picked to play Puff Daddy,Biggie and Tupac don't even look like the characters. My friend told me the movie "sucks". I have yet to see it and probably won't. It is amazing how people are so greedy to keep making money of Tupac and Biggies legacy. This has been going on for years, as many loyal Tupac and Biggie fans though.

Although since I haven't seen the movie, I can't really say anything too terrible about it. Is there anyone out there who thinks this is a good movie, or has any opinions to offer up on it? Comment back.

Meanwhile you can read a more positive review of the movie "Notorious" here.

New polls up more to come

I added some new polls on the right. The two polls I'm adding for now are, who are your favorite rapper and what was your favorite album. The choices are a bit limited but there will be many more. If you have a good idea for a poll, let me know and I'll take it into consideration and maybe I will put it up here. Until then, happy voting!

The Lil Wayne Argument.

I really don't like Lil Wayne, I don't even think he can even be considered a rapper. Maybe a "singer"/comic, but not a rapper. Tupac was a rapper, Biggie was a rapper, Wu Tang Clan were rappers. But this Lil Wayne guy and these down south rap groups should be put into a genre of there own. I don't care what they call it, just don't call it rap. Lil Wayne just sucks.
