Mobb Deep Taps Nas For Album, Film:
These days, when a hip-hop act announces plans to release
a film to accompany a new album, it hardly raises an
eyebrow.
|
However, the rappers in Mobb Deep say that they mean
business with their new album, "Murda Muzik," and their
film that will carry the same name.
"We didn't put nobody [in the movie]," the group's
Prodigy explained to the MTV Radio Network. "It's us. It
ain't like a rap movie with a bunch of rappers [in it].
This is a real film. It got meaning to it. We ain't just
throwing people in there to sell videos.... I wrote this
so you can feel something from it. This is my artwork,
just like how we write our rhymes and how we make
our beats."
The film will boast at least two cameos as Lil' Cease and
Nas will turn up in the movie, but the bulk of the action will
revolve around Prodigy and his Mobb Deep partner
Havoc.
Nas also turns up on the "Murda Muzik" album, along with
Lil' Kim, Kool G Rap, Eightball, Noyd, and Infamous
Mobb. Due to rampant bootlegging, the group is currently
recording new material for the album, which should hit
stores on August 10. Meanwhile, the straight-to-video
version of "Murda Muzik" should hit stores soon thereafter.
