Universal Denies Rumors Of Snoop Dogg & Tupac-centric Sequel To "Straight Outta Compton"

Despite Daz Dillinger's claims, Universal says there are no plans to make an official sequel to "Straight Outta Compton." With the introduction of a few familiar faces in the film's final third, it seemed inevitable that Straight Outta Compton would spawn some sort of spin-off that followed the likes of Snoop Dogg and Tupac. This hunch was seemingly confirmed yesterday when Daz Dillinger spoke directly to TMZ, suggesting a proper sequel to the popular film was already planned, and would follow, Snoop, The Dogg Pound, and 2pac's careers. While we wanted to believe the news, it seems even if there is some truth to it, it certainly won't be a part of the Straight Outta Compton universe. “At this time there are no plans for a Straight Outta Compton sequel,” Universal told Entertainment Weekly. The publication also reached out to Ice Cube, who confirmed that he had not given the green light to any type of subsequent film. Strangely, Daz's report explicitly said that Cube was behind the idea. We're sure this won't be the end of the discussion, and judging by the success of the film, some similar projects are bound to pop up either way.

Daz Dillinger Says There Will Be A "Straight Outta Compton" Sequel Focusing On Tupac & Snoop Dogg

"Straight Outta Compton" "sequel, of sorts" is set to focus on Snoop Dogg and Tupac, according to Daz Dillinger. Very soon after a huge weekend for "Straight Outta Compton," it's become apparent that the film will set off a wave of additional rap biopics in Hollywood. The film has proven to studio executives that the genre can in fact be more profitable than, say, the movie "Notorious" was, and now rappers seem to be clamoring to get their stories told on the big screen. Earlier this week, Master P announced he was casting a film about his and No Limit's rise to fame, and now Dogg Pound veteran Daz Dillinger claims that a "Straight Outta Compton" "sequel, of sorts" is in the works. Speaking to TMZ, Daz said the film will mostly follow Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Nate Dogg, Kurupt, Warren G and himself, and is tentatively titled "Dogg Pound 4 Life." Dr. Dre and Ice Cube won't be involved in the production side of things this time, but Daz said Cube gave the film his "stamp of approval." Do you think it can live up to the quality of its predecessor?

AMBER ROSE’S LIKENESS REPORTEDLY USED TO LURE GIRLS INTO PROSTITUTION RING

Amber Rose was used as the face of an alleged prostitution ring out in L.A. without her knowledge or consent. Amber Rose may be a vocal supporter of bad bitches and MILFs everywhere, and she may be organizing a Slut Walk for Los Angeles in October, however, her business ventures don’t foray into prostitution– yet she was unwittingly used to lure young girls into a prostitution ring based in L.A. The strange story comes via TMZ this morning. An L.A. company is now being investigated by the LAPD for soliciting models “for a paid celebrity photoshoot and clothing line.” One such model came forward and filed a police report on Monday, claiming that the company was attempting to bring her into their prostitution ring. According to the report, aspiring models who came across the company’s Instagram ad (in the photo gallery above) would then contact the company, and they would be told that Amber Rose was the main person involved in choosing the models. The company would then set up a FaceTime session “with” Amber Rose, but in reality the video was grabbed from an old uStream Amber did with her fans– the model, however, would see Amber Rose struggling with a bad connection before the FaceTime session failed entirely. Eventually, the company would set up the model on a date with a “rich guy.” Prior to the date, they would text the model and ask if “they would be willing to be intimate.” They would insinuate that this would help with their career and help their work with Amber Rose. The alleged video of Amber that was being used for the fake FaceTime sessions can be seen below. http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_odx3j7ww

Jhene Aiko Recreates Iconic Tupac Photos

On what would have been his 44th birthday, Jhene Aiko pays tribute to Tupac through photos. Jhene Aiko was too young to watch Tupac's career unfold, but like many younger people that have grown to admire the late west coast rapper, her obsession came after watching the documentary, Tupac Resurrection. On what would have been Pac's 44th birthday, Aiko decided to pay tribute to the rapper in a shoot, recreating some of his most iconic photographed moments. Inspired by shots from All Eyez On Me, the rapper's posthumous greatest hits collection, and David LaChapelle's "Becoming Clean" shoot, the singer channeled the spirit of the rapper in three photos for MTV. Jhene also shared the story of how "Keep Ya Head Up" became her favorite Tupac song, and one that she regularly performs live. I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter and that song came on. I just cried like never before. His words meant so much to me. I just felt like I needed to hear that. I didn’t know what was going to happen next. I wasn’t in the best position to have a child. I was growing hopeless. At that moment I was leaving a free-clinic-type-of-family-planning-type of place to do my prenatal stuff. I was on the county, I had my E.B.T. card, I had my food stamps. I was in the system and I felt like, “Where was my life going at this point?” It was hard for me to be optimistic. But that song came on and that’s what changed the whole mood of my pregnancy. From that day when I heard that song, I was like, “You know what? He’s right. I need to just keep my head up and keep it pushing and do what I have to do.” From then on everything turned into a positive experience. It really stuck at that moment, because that was 2007 and the song had been out for years and years and years. Not until I had that full-circle moment of understanding struggle and pain did I relate to the song that much more.
