Ice Cube Unveils 'Straight Outta Compton' Trailer in Australia [VIDEO]
Rap fans in Sydney, Australia were treated to a special preview of the highly anticipated N.W.A biopic, ‘Straight Outta Compton.’ During his concert Down Under, Ice Cube premiered the uncensored trailer to the movie about “The World’s Most Dangerous Rap Group.”
According to Shadow and Act, this happened earlier this month, and a clip has been floating online for a couple of weeks. However, recently, a clearer video has popped up on YouTube.
The mesmerizing trailer starts off with a picturesque view of California with palm trees and sunny skies before it segues into the backdrop of what appears to be the 1992 L.A. Riots.
In the opening voice-over, which sounds distinctly like N.W.A.’s manager Jerry Heller, he states, “I’ll tell you what I see here. A lot of raw talent, a fire, bravado. You boys scared me to death. They said you’re dangerous. But you have a unique voice. The world needs to hear it.”
This leads into a barrage of action sequences featuring the actors who portray the N.W.A. members, including Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., who looks exactly like his father. At the end, we see Eazy-E, played by Jason Mitchell, in Jerry Heller’s office. He asks him what does N.W.A stand for?
“No Whites Allowed,” quips Heller, played by Oscar-nominated actor Paul Giamatti.
Eazy looks at Heller with a determined look and says, “No. N—-s With Attitude.”
Judging by the trailer, it looks like Cube, who serves as one of the executive producers on the project, has developed an exciting movie about the legendary Compton rap group.
‘Straight Outta Compton’ is directed by F. Gary Gray and tells the story of N.W.A and how they revolutionized pop culture with their brand of reality music. The film will open in theaters on Aug. 14, 2015.

Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Moire Neutral Grey and Dark Grey
Sneaker PoliticsIf you wanted to make a Nike Air Max 1 even more lightweight, how would you go about doing it? Well, one answer would be the all-new Ultra Moire series, which puts a high-tech spin on an already advanced model.
The sneaker is given a hyperfuse upper and while it does a great job of reducing weight, it makes the build a bit ambiguous overall. The remedy for that comes in the form of carefully placed perforations and colorblocking, which finds the mudguard in dark grey and midsole in neutral grey.
These are available now at select Nike retailers including Sneaker Politics for $130 a pair. If your resolution is to get in shape, here’s a stylish way to kick things off.

YG and DJ Mustard Take to Instagram to Air Out Beef
Neilson Barnard, Getty ImagesLos Angeles may be known for its warm weather during the winter months, but it doesn’t appear to be sunny between Compton rapper YG and star producer DJ Mustard. Apparently, the latter, whose production played a major part in the success of YG’s Def Jam debut album, ‘My Krazy Life,’ is unhappy with his compensation for his involvement in the project.
The beef escalated via Instagram, with YG posting what appears to be a screenshot of comments DJ Mustard wrote, telling the world it seems to stop asking him about the MC’s album because he doesn’t “give a f—.”
“F— EVERYBODY THATT AINT GOT PAID FOR MY ALBUM,” YG wrote as the caption to the image. He even goes so far as to send a subtle threat to the beatmaker, adding “and DJ MUSTARD, I KNOW WHERE YO STUDIO AT N—-.”
YG also alludes to not having been paid royalties from Mustard’s signature drop — “Mustard on the beat, hoe” — which appears at the beginning of all of the producer’s productions. He reveals he wasn’t getting compensation for his own work on Mustard’s ’10 Summers’ album too.
After seeing YG’s post, DJ Mustard posted a screenshot of it on his own Instagram profile, with the caption, “Say no mo I ain’t for no sucka s— and this internet s— weak we can get down this won’t be the first time …… I’m finna pull up we can squabble up !!! See yo in 30 killa …..”
The back and forth continues, this time with a screenshot of YG’s call log, which displayed unanswered calls to a contact stored as “Mustard” in his iPhone.
While we’re unsure of what will come of this whole situation, hopefully the two can patch things up, as the pair have undeniable chemistry. Their work together has been a major component in the resurgence of the West Coast rap scene.
Check out the full exchange below and feel free to chime in with a comment letting us know how you feel about the beef.

Nicki Minaj Acts Out in This Clip From Her High School Days [VIDEO]
As hard as it is to believe now, there really was a world before Nicki Minaj. There was a time when the superstar was just Onika Miraj attending Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in Queens, N.Y. Today, fans see a nice reminder of that.
The British television show ‘You Saw Them Here First,’ a series that tracks stars’ origins, shows footage of a teenage Minaj in braids performing a dramatic scene in school.
The rapper is a passionate performer in the clip, which finds her acting alongside a fellow student as a teach watches the scene unfold. Things take a slightly violent turn when Minaj throws a phone at another actress and the teacher has to rein her in a bit to prevent her from harming the co-star.
Although acting is part of her roots, Minaj made her big screen premiere this year with a role in the romantic comedy ‘The Other Woman.’

New Balance MRT580 CW 'Camo'
AfewNew Balance has a unique way of pumping out inline models that feel almost as special as a limited release. Their latest drop gives new life to camo by setting it against suede and gum in a very refreshing way.
For this pair of New Balance MRT580′s, the upper is mainly dipped in white suede, but the toe, ankle and tongue are spruced with an awesome camo print. This lighter-toned look is given a gum outsole that pops more than any other element of the shoe including the white leather logo on the side.
These kicks are expected to drop on Jan. 15, 2015, at select New Balance retailers.

Pitbull and Ne-Yo Celebrate the Year 2000 With House Party in 'Time of Our Lives' Video
What do you do when you can’t pay your rent? Throw a party.
At least that’s what Pitbull and Ne-Yo do in their new video for ‘Time of Our Lives.’ Set on New Year’s Eve in 1999, a family behind on their rent and bills decide to throw a big party to ring in the new year and raise money to fill their bank account.
Mr. Worldwide appears more casual, rocking a green-and-orange Miami Hurricanes Starter jacket. The rapper proves that you don’t always need all the money in the world to have a good time. Ne-Yo further conveys this in the pre-chorus of the song.
“I knew my rent was gon’ be late about a week ago / I worked my ass off, but I still can’t pay it though / But I got just enough / To get up in this club / Have me a good time, before my time is up,” he sings.
The party track is off Pitbull’s ‘Globalization’ album. Ne-Yo’s upcoming album, ‘Non-Fiction,’ drops on Jan. 27, 2015.
