Earlier today Kanye announced that he will debut his new film “cinematic experience” Cruel Summer at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival next Wednesday May 23rd. Billed as a “fusion of short film and art installation”, the premiere is being heralded with all of the hype and ceremony that you would expect from a Kanye West production in 2012: ” an immersive “7 Screen Experience” for the eyes and ears unlike anything West has attempted before”, so you already know this is going to be some completely over the top, epicly rarefied mindfuck.

It also turns out that Cruel Summer will be the title for the much anticipated G.O.O.D. Music compilation project we’ve heard so much about. If you’re the type of person who finds themselves in Cannes for the Film Festival, go here to RSVP for tickets to the premiere.

I gotta hand it to NextMovie for thier Rapper/Movie pairings. If N.O.R.E. wasn’t available, was the next call to Hussein Fatal? Tragedy Khadafi?

From MTV:

A brief history: “Gang of Roses” is a 2003 Western drama with starring roles from Lil Kim, LisaRaye, Bobby Brown and Stacey Dash. The second installment, “Gang of Roses 2,” is set for release on February 14 with appearances from Amber Rose, Wiz Khalifa, Teyana Taylor and Rocsi Diaz, to name a few. In the second trailer for “Gang of Roses 2,” viewers get a snippet of Rose and her rapper boyfriend in costume, riding horses and having very brief dialog.

The good news is that Amber gets it in with both Rocsi and Laila Odom in the flick so it has that going for it.

Also, Hugh Jackman talks to Next Movie about attending one of Eminem’s Home & Home concert last year:

During the filming of “Real Steel” I heard that you and director Shawn Levy went to an Eminem concert. There’s an Eminem song in the movie, and played in the trailer for “Real Steel.” Can we assume that you two are big fans of his?
I think Eminem is extraordinary, and one of the greatest live acts I’ve ever seen. I’m a real fan of live music, but if I go to a concert and I feel that I’m just getting their CD, basically, played for me, it bores me. I would prefer to just listen to it. But he, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre: It was one of the most electrifying nights I’ve ever been a part of. I was actually ushered to this area and I went behind the stage and just watching Dr. Dre get ready to go onstage, it was kind of like watching a prizefighter getting ready for a big fight. There’s just so much that they put in to every song. And Eminem, he’s just, oh my God, he’s just the consummate performer. A professional. And everything comes from an honest place. Comes from his heart. That’s what I like about him.

I finally got a chance to check out the Tribe doc last night and I have to say that is one fine piece of film making they’ve put together. By now you’ve probably read a dozen reviews so there’s no need for me to reiterate how good of a documentary it is, but as you can imagine, it’s so much more to anybody who was there for the People’s Instinctive Travels-Midnight Marauders run. There are moments that literally gave me chills, like the scene where Q-Tip shows how he chopped up the “Can I Kick It” sample which then segways into some rare footage of a 1990 performance of the song in Union Square. Or when that “Excursions” baseline comes on as they’re talking about the mind state they were in when they sat down to make “Low End Theory”. Or this clip above, of Jarobi breaking down when expressing how he felt when Phife’s health took a turn for the worst. It’s nice to have a proper documentary about one of the greatest groups of all time, and it’s fascinating to hear all of the back ground shit we hadn’t previously been privy too, but it’s those little moments that take you back or help you understand how tight these guys really were at one point that makes this a must see.

You can catch Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest in select theaters this Friday.
