Our MNW insiders has informed us that rap mogul Sean Puffy Combs called his Sean John clothing staff into a all day meeting today because he feels his clothing line is not growing in the right direction. According to reports, Diddy slammed his fist onto the boardroom table and shouted "This sh*t needs to look better this year". Unfortunately, his staff had no good ideas at the time, so Puffy made everyone stay...over 6 hours until the team made some "ok" suggestions. Either we will see a whole new look for Sean John this year or Sean John will be hiring.

Just when the hip hop industry starts to melt away, the interest is peaking again.  This time, in the form of bio-pics.  Notorious, the movie based on the life of rap star Notorious BIG opened the doors for many more rap stars to show their life story.  The next line up of hip hop biopics includes Big Daddy Kane, Run DMC, Tupac Shakur and the recently announced story of NWA which is being produced by Ice Cube and Dr. Dre and starring the sons of Ice Cube and founding member Eazy-E.  Although this is just the beginning, hip hop fans will never tire from the diverse story lines that each rapper/group tells of their personal journey to success.  Look out for the Big Daddy Kane movie, which should release first.....sometime this year.
