Director Quentin Tarantino's latest film Django Unchained is one of the most talked about films in recent months. While people like Spike Lee have boycotted the slave-era flick it has also received a lot of positive reviews.
Tarantino recently sat down with Channel 4's Krishnan Guru-Murthy to discuss the film, but the conversation quickly shifted to a heated debate about whether film violence can lead to real life violence.
Tarantino didn't like the line of questioning and went off on Guru-Murthy.
"Don't ask me a question like that, I'm not biting. I refuse your question," Tarantino said. "I'm not your slave and you're not my master. You can't make me dance to your tune. I'm not a monkey. I'm here to sell my movie. This is a commercial for my movie make no mistake. I don't want to talk about the implications of violence. The reason I don't want to talk about it is I've said everything I have to say about it. If anyone cares what I have to say about it they can Google me. And they can look up twent years of what I have to say about it. I haven't changed my opinion about one iota. I'm shutting your butt down!"
Krishnan Guru-Murthy
Undeterred, Guru-Murthy continued to press Tarantino about the topic.
"It's my job to try and explore some serious themes," explained Guru-Murthy. "Violence is such a big part of all of your movies. It's an enjoyable part of your movies for so many people and that's why I'm talking about it. It's a very sensitive time at the moment and the vice president is talking to people in the movie industry about violence. You haven't said why you think there's no relationship [between movie violence and real life violence."
At that point Tarantino cut Guru-Murthy off.
"It's none of your damn business what I think about that," Quentin said. "I'm saying no and I'm shutting you down. I don't have any responsibility to you to explain anything I don't want to."

It's been twenty years since the release of the hood classic Menace II Society. Director Allen Hughes recently sat down with with Sway In the Morning to talk about the film.
One of the most talked about incidents surrounding the making of the film involved Tupac Shakur. He was originally cast in the movie to play the role of Sharif. A rift developed on the set between Tupac and the Hughes brothers. They eventually fired him. Pac was so angry he later physically assaulted them.
The Hughes brothers filed charges against him and he ended up serving 15 days in jail for the assault.
Allen talks to Sway about how he initially met Tupac, the change he saw in him after he played the role of Bishop in Juice and Pac's erratic behavior on the set of Menace II Society.

**UPDATE** January 14th.
Over the weekend we got the first part of Allen Hughes' story about his relationship with Tupac Shakur and the beginning of their fall out.
Today Sway releases the full interview where Hughes talks about Tupac getting fired from his role in Menace II Society and Tupac later having 12-13 members of The Rolling 40's crips jump him.
According to Hughes the fight started off between just himself and Tupac. He claims that he lifted Pac over his head and slammed him down on the trunk of a truck. As he was getting ready to punch Tupac, The Rolling 40's molly whopped him.
Hughes later acknowledges Tupac's immense talent.
"The tragedy is he was just a rock star," Hughes said. "He was just that talented and more talented than we ever got to see. In fact the thing I tell people is most people don't know is he was dummying himself down for his rap verses. He was making it more simple Simon so people could understand it and connect to it. He was vastly more intelligent than his rhymes or his music. He was a voracious reader. He was a sweet, sweet kind man. He was multi-talented we know that. He had a humongous heart. And the thing with him, like a lot of young black males he had mad daddy issues. I got them that's why we connected. I feel like we lost someone bigger than Marilyn Monroe or James Dean."
Hughes also criticizes Quentin Tarantino for his excessive use of the word "n*gger" in his movies.
The story picks up at the 15-minute mark of the video below.

Karrine Steffans is penning a new book about her relationship with Lil Wayne titled How to Make Love to a Martian. It's due to come out later this year.
"Wayne and I have kept a relationship through my two husbands, his three kids, three additional baby mamas, three of his albums, three of my books, three of his arrests, one year in prison and three engagements on his part. We are indestructible and I find it fascinating. I’m in constant contact with this person every day, every other day. He is a part of my being. I’m not me without him. He makes me very happy, [but] I couldn’t be with Wayne. I couldn’t live Wayne’s life," she told Vibe Vixen.
The former video vixen recently revealed via Twitter a tattoo with the number "56" on the back of her neck inspired by Weezy. The tat represents the superstar rapper's height. He is reportedly 5'6.
"Tunechi taught me," she wrote.
Yesterday, Karrine dropped a video claiming Wayne got her pregnant while she was married to another man.
"It had all come to this. I’d been with him so long, there was no way I’d leave him for my husband. There was no way I’d settle for a life without him but no way I’d settle for a life with him –– a life on the road, swimming in a pool of women," she says in the clip. "But, this baby in my stomach. This secret.How would I tell my husband? How would I tell my lover? My Martian."
Wayne name drops Karrine in his new song "Good Kush and Alcohol (B*tches Love Me)."
“With no makeup she a ten. And she the best with head, even better than Karrine," he raps. The line reportedly hurt Karrine. She made a video about that also.
What do you think about Karrine's claims? Is she telling the truth?
Check out the clips below.

Frank initially wanted the group on the original version of the song that appears on his Channel Orange album, but Andre didn't want an Outkast track on anyone else's project at the time so he appeared solo.
Big Boi's new verse is a nice addition.

Over the past decade, The Pirate Bay has become of the largest, and most controversial, sites on the Internet. We’re constantly hearing from copyright owners how The Pirate Bay is robbing them blind, but what about the men who run the site itself – what do they think?
A new documentary entitled “The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard” dives into the history of The Pirate Bay and its founders. The film also covers the massive legal battle between the founders and the entertainment industry as the courts were asked if a Web site’s founders can be held accountable for the actions of its users. The Sweden Supreme Court said they can this year by refusing to hear their case, thereby upholding a previous verdict that found the Pirate Bay founders guilty.
In the spirit of The Pirate Bay, the documentary will be released for free online under a Creative Commons license. The actual date of release has not been revealed just yet, but the director says it should be out soon.

Johnny Boy Da Prince was just about to see the fruits of his labor come to fruition when he was killed in Chicago this week.
The 23-year old rapper was in talks with Atlantic Records at the time of his death.
Andrew Fechter, an assistant with Atlantic Records in New York, had listened to Johnny's music and saw potential in him.
"I see a lot of emails," Fechter told the Chicago Tribune. "I listened to it, I liked what I heard, I asked for more. I played it at a meeting and everyone liked it. We were working on a meeting, bringing him in. Get him to meet everyone before a decision is made. He was definitely talented. I personally believe he had a bright future in the music business. He definitely would have had a career."
Epic and Universal Records were also said to be interested.
Johnny was shot several times on Wednesday January 9th in the Garfield Park neighborhood shortly before midnight. He was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died following surgery.
Johnny, whose real name was Johnny Taylor, was managed by Dillard Florence who said Taylor's assailants make have killed him by mistake.
"Word is it was mistaken identity," Florence said. "He didn't deserve this to happen."
Taylor is at least the fifth aspiring young rapper to get shot and killed in Chicago since September.

Philly rapper Ar-Ab recently made a video discussing the Cassidy Vs. Meek Mill beef. At the time he said Cass wasn't a street dude, while Meek was. He also accused Cass of not helping him out financially when he was down with Larsiny Family.
Ar sat down with VladTV to clarify some of the things he said in the video.
The OBH Records artist said that both Cass and Meek are his friends and he introduced them to each other several years ago in an attempt to help out both of their careers. At the time Meek's buzz was heavy in Philly, but he wasn't signed yet and according to Ar, Philly wasn't really feeling Cass at the time.
Ar says the tension between the two started to build after Meek got signed to MMG. Cass felt like he helped Meek out by featuring him on some of his songs early in his career and wanted Meek to return the favor. Meek didn't feel like Cass had helped him and declined.
When asked who he thought was winning the current battle between the two rappers, Ar picked Meek.
"In my opinion, I like Meek's song [Repo] better," Ar told Vlad. "Cass' song [R.A.I.D.] was hot. But it's the beat that Meek used. That sh*t was crazy and he was saying some hood sh*t and I love that hood, gangster sh*t he was talking. Cass sh*t was more lyrics. That's cool and all but I relate to the gangster sh*t a little better."

Super producer Timbaland is going to be really busy this year and he probably wouldn't have it any other way. The Virginia-based beat maker has three huge projects he will be devoting his time to in 2013.
To get things started, Timbaland is already working on Justin Timberlake's new album. The disc will be entirely-produced by Timbo, according to HipHopWired. The last time these two musical geniuses combined forces it produced magical results.
Justin's 2006 album FutureSex/LoveSounds was produced entirely by Timbaland. The project spawned the hits "SexyBack," "LoveStoned," "My Love" and "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around." The album won four Grammys and has been certified four-times platinum.
Timbaland will also lend his talents to Beyonce's upcoming fifth solo album. The singer confirmed the news during an interview with GQ.
"I've been working with Pharrell and Timbaland and Justin Timberlake and Dream," she told GQ. "We all started in the '90s, when R&B was the most important genre, and we all kind of want that back: the feeling that music gave us."
And last but certainly not least, Timbaland will be assisting 50 Cent at SMS Audio, where he is now an investment partner and member of the company’s board of directors.
"He invested and now he has equity ownership. He can help me in the decision making process while utilizing other acoustic engineers to get the highest sound quality possible." 50 said in a recent interview with MSN's Joseph Lee.
"50 Cent has created an aspirational audio brand that produces the highest caliber of headphones on the market,” said Timbaland in a statement. “I’m looking forward to working with 50 and being part of a company so eager to bring studio-quality sound to music fans all over the world.”
