Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature designed to celebrate TV and Film’s epic past.
Today’s subject? Eddie Murphy‘s remake ‘The Nutty Professor.’
In the story, which pans out over two movies, Murphy plays an overweight scientist whose life is turned upside down (for the better and worst) when he manages to create a slimmer and more confident version of himself.
While fans anxiously await the Big Freedia-assisted video for America’s #1 song, ‘In My Feelings’ (click here to read more), rapper Drake has switched it up by unveiling the music video for another ‘Scorpion’ cut, ‘Nonstop.’
Tapping director Theo Skudra to helm, the visual was filmed during the 6 God’s trip to London to perform at this year’s Wireless Festival. Featuring cameos from the likes of French Montana and Quavo, look inside to join Drizzy as he sips tea runs from avid fans through the streets of Londontown:
Just a week after stunning their respective fan bases by announcing their nuptials (click here to read more), Grammy-winning couple Faith Evans and Stevie J join forces for the single, ‘A Minute.’
Accompanied by a borderline NSFW visual featuring the newlyweds showing off their bedroom manners (or lack thereof), the Derek Blanks-directed affair sees the two go from the bed to the club before eventually teasing with the phrase ‘…to be continued.’
DJ Khaled assembles his very own Avengers line-up for new single ‘No Brainer.’
For, he’s joined on the jam by Justin Bieber, Chance The Rapper, and Quavo.
The song serves as the latest taste of the hitmaker’s 11th studio album, ‘Father Of Asahd’ – which is due later this year and is believed to also feature Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Future collaboration ‘Top Off.’
Today brought with it the debut of the song’s accompanying visual.
Khaled takes on the directorial role, while Bieber, Chance, and Quavo get up to all sorts of fun.
As legends go, few come as seasoned or respected as Charlie Wilson.
Indeed, over the course of his illustrious career, he’s served as the frontman of the iconic Gap Band and achieved ample solo success with hits such as ‘There Goes My Baby’ and latest album ‘It To Win It.’
He’s also found favor amongst the newer names of today, many of whom affectionately call him Uncle Charlie. Included are the likes of Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, and Bruno Mars – the latter of whom many are eager for Wilson to collaborate with.
And that wish may very well come to fruition.
That Grape Juice caught up with Wilson at British Summertime Hyde Park ahead of his performance and quizzed him on the matter. And get this, he says that he and Bruno already begun work on a team-up. Hit ‘PLAY’ to find out more!
Normani may be rocketing up the charts with hit ‘Love Lies,’ but she’s also diligently working on her next move – her debut album.
Easily one of the year’s most anticipated in Pop-Urban circles, the set will see the 22-year-old step into the spotlight as a solo artiste following the hiatus of her initial base Fifth Harmony.
Recent months have seen Normani dish on planned studio sessions with the likes of Missy Elliott and Stargate.
And while details are still under wraps, it’s become apparent that the songstress is also in the lab with Danja and Boi-1da.
