![]() ![]() At one point, Justin Bieber is described as a “pretty n–a.” Moore and his pals, one of whom is a lesbian tomboy, are undeniably Odd Future-esque: They skateboard, wear skinny jeans and play in a rock band named “Awreeoh” (pronounced “Oreo” Williams wrote the songs they perform in the film). Drugs are sold through Snapchat, bitcoins and the “Dark Web” dealers philosophically discuss the ethics of drone warfare a macho OG laments his social media accounts. One way Dope does that is by filtering those old inner-city tropes through an extremely of-the-moment, 2015 lens. “I wanted to use that to put a mirror to our own expectations.” “I wanted to use the common language and history that we have of those movies, but subvert them,” he says. Indeed, Dope‘s recipe of violence, retro music and fashion, and a sun-baked inner-city Los Angeles landscape makes associations with “hood classics” like Boyz N the Hood and Menace II Society inevitable - and intentional: Famuyiwa explains that he used such cinematic references as points of departure. It’s a hood classic - we haven’t had one of those in decades.” I can connect to him in so many different ways, being a guy who once had that kind of lifestyle. “He’s one of those guys that’s just a product of his own environment. “It’s very cliched: I play a drug dealer, a thug with an elegant, intelligent side,” says the rapper, 26. Rocky - who landed a supporting role in Dope after helping his then-girlfriend, model Chanel Iman, practice her lines - does pull guns, however. Juice kind of makes you like Tupac more as the thug, but I don’t want people to leave Dope liking me for pulling a gun.”Ī$AP Rocky’s ‘Dope’ Film Sparks Bidding War at Sundance “The characters aren’t going out and shooting people and trying to act hard - they just want to go to school. The Atlanta native is seated at a booth in a Mexican restaurant in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn, a neighborhood in which he has lived for just a week (he’s currently shooting Baz Luhrmann’s forthcoming hip-hop-inspired Netflix series The Get Down in the Bronx). ![]() ![]() “The movie gives a different perspective on the black community,” says Moore. Even though those threats are sometimes portrayed cartoonishly, Dope is a comedy with an undercurrent of sociopolitical awareness that rarely exists in popular teen romps. But when filtered through Los Angeles’ Inglewood neighborhood, perils go beyond getting “swirlied” in the locker room by meathead jocks - Bloods are on one corner, dealers lurk on the next, and college is regarded as an uncommon escape route, not an inevitability. In many ways, the charming coming-of-age comedy traffics in tropes found in mainstream films like American Pie and Superbad: a virginal high school outcast looks for love, bullies rumble toward a richly deserved comeuppance, madcap schemes face unforeseen complications. Kap G Talks ‘Dope’ & ‘Bringing Two Worlds Together’ as a Mexican-American RapperĪfter debuting in January at the Sundance Film Festival to huge acclaim, Dope set off a bidding war between distributors that ended with a guaranteed $7 million deal from Open Road Films and Sony Pictures. “A lot of artists were being signed to major labels and creating interesting and cutting-edge art, but it hadn’t gotten so successful that people knew what the formula was.” “I’m biased in that I think that’s when hip-hop was firing on all cylinders, both commercially and artistically,” the 41-year-old says, citing the diversity of acts like Geto Boys, Outkast, The Notorious B.I.G. ![]() The score and soundtrack, assembled by Williams and available June 16 on Columbia, is heavy on classic records like Nas‘ 1994 “The World Is Yours” and A Tribe Called Quest‘s 1991 “Scenario.”įor writer-director Rick Famuyiwa, whose previous offerings include The Wood (1999) and Brown Sugar (2002), the film’s infatuation with early-’90s rap was personal. A legion of young rappers, including Vince Staples, Tyga, Kap G and Casey Veggies, make cameos. Along with Moore, a singer-rapper who put out the mixtape I Am Da Beat in 2012 and danced in several Soulja Boy videos, Dope features starring roles from A$AP Rocky and Zoe Kravitz (of the rock band Lolawolf). The film was executive-produced by Pharrell Williams and Sean “ Diddy” Combs, and music is inescapable in it. Dope tells the story of Malcolm (played by Moore), a retro-rap-obsessed straight-A student/musician from a rough neighborhood in present-day Los Angeles who gets pulled into a criminal life when he’s inadvertently saddled with several kilos of a drug dealer’s molly. Such is the generational schism in a film that is both a contemporary teen comedy and a love paean to ’90s hip-hop.

The album established her as a solo artist worldwide, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and earning five Grammy Awards, and featured the Billboard Hot 100 number one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy". Their hiatus saw BeyoncГ©'s theatrical film debut in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) and the release of her debut album, Dangerously in Love (2003). Managed by her father, Mathew Knowles, the group became one of the world's best-selling girl groups in history. She rose to fame in the late 1990s as lead singer of the R&B girl-group Destiny's Child. ![]() Born and raised in Houston, Texas, BeyoncГ© performed in various singing and dancing competitions as a child.

I could sit here and be like, ‘I don’t get why people do that,’ but I do it so often.” “It’s an interesting thing to think about,” she told Vogue. Rodrigo, a seemingly diplomatic celebrity, gets why there's so much public interest in her relationships and personal life. She brings up a fair point: Why must we insist that there's a feud anyway? Yes, we're human beings who love petty drama and conspiracy theories (remember how we all freaked out when “Drivers License” first dropped?) but there's so much more to appreciate on Guts too, like the awfully relatable embarrassment on “ Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” and every crushing line in the album closer, “ Teenage Dream.” ![]() I think it’s better to not pigeonhole a song to being about this one thing.” She added, “I was very surprised when people thought that.” I’ve never done that before in my career and probably won’t. She told The Guardian, “I mean, I never want to say who any of my songs are about. Rodrigo even shut down theories that her song “Vampire” is about Swift. Some fans have speculated about beef between the two singers, stemming from Rodrigo handing 50 percent of the royalties of her song “Deja Vu” to Swift following accusations that it sounded similar to her hit “Cruel Summer.” The artists didn't address any of the retroactive crediting publicly, so who knows what really went down. With rumors of a “feud”-take that with a chunk of salt-swirling around Rodrigo and her idol Taylor Swift, could this grudge be about her fellow pop star? Who did this to Olivia? Is it the “blood sucker” who inspired “ Vampire” or the “master manipulator” from “ Logical”? Or maybe the not-six-foot-two dude on “ Get Him Back”? Listeners on Twitter (okay, fine, X) were inclined to believe it was about someone else. In the first verse, she sings: Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers Took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did But I hold onto every detail like my life depends on it On the track “The Grudge” in particular, she sings about someone she had an “undying love” for who broke her trust and left her deeply hurt. On her breakout hit “Drivers License,” she sings about heartbreak and abandonment after an ex moved on with a “that blonde girl ” on her debut album Sour, she flat-out says “You betrayed me” on the track “ Traitor.” On her sophomore album, Guts, which dropped last night, she continues to explore those feelings in different ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition, there are a number of writing activities, which consolidate the language input of the lesson.

The laptop is a beast and has all the power and portability I needed but couldn’t find in a Mac laptop at the time. But when I started looking deeper, comparing specifications and performance, specifically looking to harness the power of industry-leading GPUs for Adobe Premiere with its VR capabilities, I bought the MSI Titan VR because it shipped with the Nvidia GTX1070 graphics card. My 17-inch MacBook Pro didn’t have the horsepower to support VR video, and I was looking to upgrade to a new Mac. But a couple of years ago I reached a tipping point. I’ve owned Macs going back to the Mac Classic in the ‘90s.

This is hardly a good indication that this is a caring competent dealership. This service was done on Decemand I have not had anyone contact me following my complaint discussion which I had with their customer service pop-up person on their website and follow up email to the auto responder email I received saying someone would get back to me very soon. This probably also means the front and rear brakes were not inspected as the documentation indicates. Also if the wheels were rotated, the dust should have been on the rear wheels. Well, after we had the car back home I checked and verified the oil was clean but noticed the very poor car wash left evidence the tires were not rotated as there still was brake dust on the front wheels and you could see the tires on the rear were less worn than the fronts. The car was picked up after the Service Department closed. They also claim to wash the car after each service. This service is an oil and filter change, tire rotation and a checklist of things on a car about a year old, including brake inspection. So, we waited the 3 weeks for the 10K service. While on the phone making the appointment arrangements asking if there were loaners available while cars were being serviced my daughter was told by the female voice who answered the call “no, who told you that?” and it would take 3 weeks before the car could be taken in.
