“I have an amazing opportunity,” she said, “L.T. Hutton,
who actually produced the ‘I
Got It’ record and ‘Scars’ and a bunch of other records on my
album, he’s one of the CEO’s over at Morgan Creek [Pictures]. And him
and I are gonna be doing like a musical score, or a lot of music, for
the Tupac
film coming in 2015. So I’m super excited about that, I’ve known
about this for like two [or] three years now. He’s very, very excited
about it. [It’s] very premature, early in stages—oh, and John
Singleton is gonna be directing. So that’s gonna be sick, so I’m
really, really excited about that.”
In February, Variety announced that Oscar
nominated director and screenwriter John
Singleton would be re-writing, directing, and producing the
yet-to-be-titled project. Singleton, who earned his Oscar nods for
his 1991 film Boyz
n the Hood, directed Tupac in the 1993 film Poetic Justice.
The 2 Fast 2
Furious director was also rumored to be in the running for a
position as director of an upcoming N.W.A. film as well. According to
Variety’s story, production on the Tupac film is slated to begin in June
though upon publish, an actor had yet been cast for the part of Tupac.
Last year, it was announced that Morgan Creek Productions and Emmett
Furla Films were in final negotiations to partner on the movie.
Earlier this week, HipHopDX awarded Ashanti's Braveheart three
out of five stars, calling it "concise and cohesive." "This is her way
of declaring a comeback. It’s been six years since Ashanti’s fourth
album, The Declaration, 12 years since her debut, and 11 years
since her last Top 10 hit. There’s really no other way to listen to Braveheart."
