Anthony Mackie says after “8 Mile” he was offered way too many gangster roles

Anthony Mackie has recently sat down with Jemele Hill for a new interview where the Hollywood superstar talked about working on Eminem’s movie ‘8 Mile,‘ revealing he was offered too many gangster and rapper roles afterwards:

“After 8 Mile, I was offered every rapper, every gangster in every movie and then there were certain movies that I wanted to audition for that my reps were like, ‘After doing 8 Mile, I don’t think you should do that. So it was a conscious decision on their part that became a conscious decision on my part. Early in my career, I would say six times out of 10, the roles that I was auditioning for were written for white dudes. When I auditioned for Hurt Locker, Hurt Locker was written for a white dude, 8 Mile wasn’t even written.” said Anthony Mackie.

Dr. Dre says Aftermath didn’t blow up until Eminem, tells origins of ‘2001’ album title

Dr. Dre has recently set down with Lil Wayne on Young Money Radio where the two talked about where they were at in their career in 1999. Dre also recalls having to name his 1999 album “The Chronic 2001” instead of “The Chronic 2000” after Suge Knight released a Death Row Compilation album under the same name and speaks on how he felt leaving his masters behind after leaving Death Row Records.

“At that time, leaving Death Row, there was a lot going on in my life. I got married in 1996. Had a son in 1997 and then I had to start label, build a new crew and you can imagine how much work that takes. All the things happening simultaneously. I just felt like the music I was doing at that time it was not completely up to par. I think the first record we did at Aftermath it went platinum but it was not my bet foot forward. It didn’t smash. Then Jimmy Iovine introduced me to Eminem and that’s when everything took off.” – says Dre.

And then Dr. Dre continues talking about what are the origins of the “2001” album title and how Suge Knight stole his ideas. You can watch the full thing below:

Tech N9ne defends Eminem from people calling him ‘culture-vulture’ [Throwback]

Throughout his legendary career, Kansas City Chopper Tech N9ne has collaborated from Kendrick Lamar and Eminem to Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian.

Couple of years ago, Tech took to Instagram to reply to a narrative pitting Eminem as a ‘culture vulture.’ Tech says: “I was raised on music. All types of music. First was gospel. Rap smacked me. Then RnB. Blues. Jazz. Then f**king rock! So I was influenced by music that I was raised on. So when I do songs like “Wither,” “Starting To Turn,” “Uralya,” et cetera, et cetera, I am just doing music that I love and feel. Not only do I do hip-hop shows. I do hard rock shows and festivals and s**t too. I can open up for Kanye and 2 Chainz and the next day do Knotfest n***a. I’ve done it. In that order.”

“So when you see me at rock shows, and you know my base is in hip-hop, does that make me a culture vulture? No! So why the f**k ya’ll say it about Eminem then? Like he didn’t grow up listening to hip-hop. Ya’ll know he did. Let’s talk about it.”
