| Glockumentary
Premier |
PR reports: GANGSTA RAP: THE GLOCKUMENTARY
will have its theatrical release Friday, March 2 on nearly two dozen screens
in the L.A. area. The feature-length comedy is independently released by
Ill Ville Films/Big Business.
Written and directed by Damon "Coke" Daniels,
who co-wrote My Baby's Daddy with Eddie Griffin for Miramax, GANGSTA RAP:
THE GLOCKUMENTARY owes its street cred to Daniels' extensive turn in the
world of hip hop, during which his group Madkap (Loud Records) toured with
the likes of Notorious B.I.G, The Pharcyde, Twista, Common, The Alkaholics
and the Wu Tang Clan.
Daniels also served as producer, alongside
Craig Chapman, Chris Dreyer and Paul Stewart, who also handled the film's
music supervision. [check out the trailer at the full story link] -

| Brandy
Political Victim? |
TMZ reports: Black civil rights leaders in
Los Angeles claim the California Highway Patrol has made singer/actress
Brandy "a political trophy." The Los Angeles City Attorney is deciding
whether to file misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charges against Brandy,
whose Land Rover slammed into a Toyota on the 405 Freeway killing the driver.
Today, Najee Ali, leader of Project Islamic
HOPE, said the CHP's recommendation to file charges against the singer
"is unfairly targeting her for prosecution because of her celebrity." Ali
told TMZ he is organizing an e-mail campaign in the African American community
to put pressure on City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo to reject the case.
Delgadillo says "We will treat this case
like every other case and treat it very seriously because someone died."

A Doobie |
PR reports: Fans of Yacht Rock, rejoice! Rhino's
first-ever two-disc Doobies collection gathers 33 hits and classics spanning
1971-2000. Includes "Listen To The Music," "Jesus Is Just Alright," "China
Grove," "Minute By Minute," "What A Fool Believes," and many more.
For over three decades millions of fans
have been “Listening to the Music” of the Doobie Brothers, one of the most
enduringly popular American bands in rock n’ roll history. The Doobies
got their start in the San Francisco Bay-area scene of the late 1960’s,
graduating from playing local clubs, biker hangouts and hippie joints to
concert stages worldwide. Their free-wheeling, melodic, harmony-heavy,
guitar-driven music – fusing jazz, R&B and more into an indelible rock-pop
signature unleashing a string of hits including 16 Top 40 singles and 11
multi-platinum albums (Rhino’s Greatest Hits is over 10x platinum). Through
personnel changes and stylistic shifts, from their earliest Tom Johnson-era
rock classics to their later, pop influenced Michael McDonald-influenced
smashes, The Doobie Brothers’ greatest tracks from ’71-’00 are chronicled
definitively on this must-have 2-CD collection. The collection will be
available February 13 at all regular retail outlets and at http://www.rhino.com.
