RZA is making his directorial debut with the movie The Man with the Iron Fists. It's a movie he also stars in co-wrote with Eli Roth.

The Wu Tang Clan leader stopped by The Breakfast Club today and talked about how music and film are similiar.

"To me music and film have the same wavelength, " he said. "A lot of people may have not comprehended that, but I'm on of the kids that did comprehend it. It all activates under the same model. When I was making Wu Tang albums I was actually trying to make movies, so when you listen to a 'Cuban Linx' you felt like you were getting a movie in your head. Now that I've kind of rose above that I'm making physical movies now with hip hop music sounds as a backdrop to it."

RZA compared The Man with the Iron Fists to Wu Tang Clan's 1993 classic album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).

"To me this feels as good as '36 Chambers.' I really feel proud of what I've put in there. And I think when fans see this flick it's going to kind of revitalize to me the whole industry in a sense because what I did for what I had for my resources it's really like going back to that first '36 Chambers' album," he explained.

The rapper/actor/director/producer also spoke on the possibility of there being another Wu Tang Clan album.

"I don't know... I know the 20th year anniversary is coming up. Some of the brothers we've been talking about potentially going back in [and] maybe do a world tour. Just one more last hurrah to close the book. 20 years is a long time time for a hip hop artist definitely to be in the business, but for any artist. Usually 3 to 5 years is the run and you're gone. But we've been doing what we're doing feeding our families for 20 years with this."

Other topics included internal conflicts within Wu Tang Clan, possible Wu Tang movie, who excites him as a producer and more.

The Man with the Iron Fists hits theaters on November 2nd.

Missy Elliot is back on the music scene. She recently dropped two new singles featuring frequent collaborator Timbaland. While she was taking a break from music the singer/rapper got a serious health scare when she came down with Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder.

She talks with Sway in the Morning about that difficult battle.

"I was scared," she said. "Anybody that has Graves disease, you feel like you finna be outta here. And for me when you say you gotta take a radiation pill you think you really finna be outta here. You know, like what do I really have? And you gotta go through seeing my eyes change, and your hair fall out, your skin change. For me that was traumatic. I remember [being] in the studio with Monica doing 'Everything to Me.' And I couldn't even write the words down because your nervous system breaks down. So you shake so bad. That was a difficult time."

Missy also speaks on Aaliyah's influence and talks about what's missing in today's hip hop and r&b scene.

Big Sean is prepping his sophomore album, Hall Of Fame: Memoirs Of A Detroit Player. While he didn't want to spill the beans on all of the project's features, he did reveal to The Masked Gorilla that Kanye West, Nas and Jhené Aiko would be on it. He also had something to say to his detractors.

"If you can't respect a young person who came from nothing, and supporting his mom. And is one of the biggest inspirations to my city now, Detroit in a time where they need it most. They're going through a lot of economic tough times in general. As much inspiration as they can get I'm offering that. If you can't get with that you're just a hating a$$ b*tch."

The album will be dropping later this year and the new single will be released within the next couple of weeks.

It's amazing to think that 16 years after Tupac Shakur'sdeath a movie about his life hasn't been brought to the big screen.

It appeared that a Morgan Creek Productions backed biopic would be the first scripted flick about the charismatic rapper who has reached legendary status. But a two-year legal battle between the company and Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, delayed the project.

In February 2011 the two parties reached an agreement which seemed to clear the path for things to get underway.

Director Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day") was picked to helm the movie, but Fuqua backed out because of trouble finding a suitable actor to play Tupac.

In October 2011 John Singleton reportedly agreed to direct the movie, however a month later he backed out for the same reasons as his predecessor Antoine Fuqua.

Since then there has been very little news about the Morgan Creek project. Now it looks like an indie director out of Houston might be attempting to beat Morgan Creek to the punch.

Noah Mortel has released a trailer for a Tupac movie. At the end of the clip it says the movie is coming out in 2013.

There's virtually no other information online about Noah's project other that the youtube trailer. His IMDB page doesn't even have it listed as being in production.

So we have to ask ourselves is this real or fake?

Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.
