The forgotten times…

Anthony Williams p/k to the world as The Legendary Grand Master Roc Raida has passed away unexpectedly today Sept 19 2009. He is survived by his wife, 3 lovely daughters, mother and friends. Raida was recently in an mixed martial arts accident, something that he has been practicing for several years. Although he had under gone 2 surgeries with great success, was released to an inpatient physical therapy facility and was in great spirits the past few days. This morning he started to have complications and passed. The family asks for privacy at this time.

This tuesday will DJ Premier and DJ Eclipse donate all their proceeds from the monthly APT gig to Roc Raida‘s family.

The first tracklist that we posted was actually correct until the label decided different. The album contains 5 DJ Premier produced tracks instead of 6. On the fake tracklist was track 9 “Gimme Money” produced by the man, and was set to be the first single. But the label decided not to pay for the sample to clear it, they didn’t want to give money for a good beat. How wrong is that?! Instead we have Streetrunner with his track called “New Money” to be the first single. Shall we ever hear the original track?! Also we have one extra (new) track, here is the full list:

1. Gun Harmonizing (Feat. Crooked I) (Produced by Emile)
2. Count For Nothing (Produced by Streetrunner)
3. Soldier (Feat. Kid Vishis)
4. Something 2 Ride (Feat. Phonte)
5. Dinner Time (Feat. Busta Rhymes)
6. Far Away
7. The Warriors (Feat. Slaughterhouse) (Produced by Streetrunner)
8. …A Brief Intermission (Skit)
9. New Money (Produced by Streetrunner)
10. Shake This (Produced by DJ Premier)
11. Gangsta (Feat. Trick Trick)
12. Mine In Thiz
13. Street Hop 2010 (Produced by Six July)
14. Thing For Your Girlfriend (Hoe Jack) (Feat. Kay Young)
15. On The Run
16. Murder
17. Bad Boy (Feat. Jungle Rock Jr.)
18. Part Of Me (Produced by Carlos Broady)

Is this the first date of his next Europian tour? Don’t forget Belgium Phat Gary, lol.

Big Shug is happy to tell us he passed the auditions for Ben Afflick‘s movie “The Town” (imdb) which will be shot in Boston. What Big Shug’s role will be is unknown. The movie is set to release in about one year. Gang Starr Foundation goes big!! For the movie lovers under us an article about the movie:

Ben Affleck will write, direct, and star in The Town, an adaptation of the romance/heist novel “Prince of Thieves” written by Chuck Hogan. Affleck proved he was a very capable filmmaker last year with his directorial debut on Gone Baby Gone, a personal favorite that has been on my mind recently after watching What Doesn’t Kill You. Described as similarly toned to Gone Baby Gone, the story involves a high-tension love triangle between a female bank manager, a longtime thief who stole more than her heart and an equally smitten FBI agent trying to bust the crook and his gang before they can pull another big job. Given how much I loved his first film, I’m excited to see what Affleck is capable of the second time around.

Affleck is doing a rewrite on the script that was first written by Peter Craig. Affleck is also planning to star as the thief who falls in love with the manager of a bank. Graham King is producing under his production company and the film is setup at Warner Brothers. The story in the film is based in Charlestown, Massachusetts, with is a gritty blue-collar Boston suburb similar to the one in Gone Baby Gone, making this another hometown movie for Affleck. I would much rather prefer Affleck just stay behind the camera and find actors to better fulfill the roles, like his brother Casey Affleck, but right now that doesn’t seem to be the case. Otherwise, this sounds like another hit in the works and I can’t wait to see it come together.

The book has been receiving quite a few great reviews, including this one from Amazon. “Chuck Hogan has written a marvelous book. The characters are richly drawn and you can see them in your mind – the action, and the mystery all come alive. The old neighborhoods of Boston and Charlestown are engraved in memory.” I’ve been anxiously awaiting the announcement of Ben Affleck’s next directorial gig, because Gone Baby Gone was such an extraordinary film and he has so much more talent behind the camera that has yet to be tapped. This really sounds like another perfect story for Affleck to write and direct and should turn out fantastic.
