The N.W.A biopic film "Straight Outta Compton" is well on its way, after announcing several of the lead characters and a release date in mid-June, the film went on to start casting for other roles, some of which have raised a few eyebrows.

Over the course of his career, Lupe Fiasco has time and time again made his stance on controversial issues clear.

Justin Bieber landed in some hot water when a video surfaced of the singer telling a racist joke, and using the N-word at the age of 15.

Tito Lopez is back and spitting hot lyrics over the popular "Chiraq" instrumental. Unlike his hip-hop peers who are more content with the usual braggadocio, the Mississippi representative takes advantage of Vinylz's menacing piano-laden beat to preach about social injustices.

Fuck Donald Sterling. Let's just get that out of the way off the top.

In addition to Snoop Dogg, Meek Mill, Game and Steve Stoute responding to the extremely ignorant remarks made by L.A. Clippers' owner Donald Sterling, Lil Wayne has also added his two cents on the matter in a new vlog posted over the weekend.

Looks like Jay Z and Barneys have decided to take the L on their launch party. The New York department store has just announced that they have cancelled the planned celebration for "New York Holiday," their much talked about collaboration with Hov.
