If you don’t want a musician being creative, don’t get The Free Weezy Album.”
he nostalgia of this one! How dope! Last night, Will Smith was the guest on David Letterman’s late night spot, and along with the show’s in-house band, he performed his 1998 smash single, “Gettin Jiggy Wit It.” Perfect for TBT, huh?
After 100 million copies sold worldwide and an undying global fascination since its 2011 release, Fifty Shades Of Grey, the movie, hit theaters this past weekend. The box office numbers, as expected, were phenomenal, leading the erotic tale to nab the biggest February opening in history, succeeding Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ. The erotic drama brought in $85 million in just one weekend, beating out the $81.7 million estimate.
Believe it or not, the love story has even made its way into hip-hop. The popularity of the novel along with a cameo from Roc Nation signee, Rita Ora in the film and a Beyonce heavy soundtrack has lately but surely led the hip-hop community to jump on the bandwagon.
Big Big Homie.
