Horrible news. One of my idols. Looks like there's a Wes Craven marathon happening in my immediate future.

Love both albums, but I think College Dropout is vastly superior. The final freestyle track is still the best thing West has ever recorded.

26 years later and Do The Right Thing's themes are just as (maybe even more) relevant today as they were when it came out. But, yeah, that movie about the old lady learning to treat her black chauffeur like a human instead of a pile of crap sure is dandy.

Found it to be more even-handed than I was expecting. It's like night and day between this portrayal and the one in Notorious.

You just know that Hollywood execs are out there trying to spin a cinematic universe out of STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON. I bet deals are already being put in place for Tupac, Snoop and Public Enemy spin-off movies. They could build Suge Knight up like Thanos. Perhaps a post-credits Vanilla Ice appearance?
