Q-Tip Beef Over Documentary with Rapaport.
Tags: MTV Shows
The stormy relationship between actor/director Michael Rapaport and rapper Q-Tip continued to develop Wednesday, when Rapaport told New York Daily News that he was "completely done" reasoning with the rapper and that they have no relationship. The pair's dispute arose from the portrayal of hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, which Q-Tip co-founded, in Rapaport's upcoming documentary "Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest."
The group's other three members have expressed support for the film, but Rapaport claims Q-Tip demanded more and more control of Tribe's sometimes unflattering portrayal. "The movie version Q-Tip thinks should be coming out would be going straight to DVD," Rapaport told New York Daily News.
In March, however, Q-Tip said that his major disagreement with Rapaport was that producers were plotting to deny the band members production credits. In an interview with MTV News, he claimed that one of the film's producers accidentally sent him an email discussing this plan:

"Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest" is off to a shakey start. Q-Tip has discovered an e-mail that wants to rip them off. Also pumping heads with Rapaport, the director.

Hugo Chavez has Cancer. Might Step Down?
CHAVEZ HAS CANCER
CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez confirmed late Thursday what many in his country suspected: He has cancer.
Chavez, whose government denied repeatedly he was gravely ill, made the admission during a live speech to his country from Cuba, where he has undergone medical treatment for much of the past month under a veil of secrecy.
"Studies confirmed the existence of a tumor with cancerous cells," he said.
Chavez said he was initially operated on for a pelvic abscess on June 11, but that follow-up tests indicated there were other growths that turned out to be cancerous. He said he had a follow-up surgery days after that.
The former army officer, who has ruled Venezuela for 12 years, did not elaborate on his prognosis. But he said he was determined to overcome the illness.

Justin Timberlake, Part Owner of Myspace.com?
Justin Timberlake has invested in MySpace and plans to help breathe life into failing social media company.
The advertising firm Specific Media purchased MySpace from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. this week for $35 million. "As part of the deal, Emmy and Grammy winning artist Justin Timberlake will also take an ownership stake and play a major role in developing the creative direction and strategy for the company moving forward," Specific Media said in a press release.
MySpace, which recently attempted to rebrand itself as an entertainment hub, will continue to play on its strengths with Timberlake's input. "I'm excited to help revitalize MySpace by using its social media platform to bring artists and fans together in one community," Timberlake said in a statement. "Art is inspired by people and vice versa, so there's a natural social component to entertainment."
MySpace and Timberlake plan to unveil their vision for the site later this summer; in the meantime, the company claims it will become "the premiere digital destination for original shows, video content and music."
Timberlake will have a challenge on his hands; the company has continued to rapidly lose its market-share to Facebook since FB opened up its cyber-doors to non-university students.
However, if he manages to infuse MySpace with the same energy he has to "Saturday Night Live," MySpace may rise again. In addition to his music career, Timberlake has a portfolio that contains a tequila brand, several restaurants and the clothing line William Rast. He is expected to have an office at MySpace and a staff of six, according to published reports.
In related news, MySpace laid off a reported 450 people this week in the wake of the company's sale to Specific.

Came across these. Most of them look like they were taken at different parts of the country or in the middle of nowhere. I can't tell. But, the subject matter is pretty dope. I like the style, even if most of them you can tell Mr. Little was mostly bullshitting and practicing.
