Suge Knight Still Trying To Make A Name In Hip-Hop

Suge Knight isn't 100 percent sure Tupac Shakur is dead, despite having been the driver of the car in which Tupac was fatally shot in 1996.

Knight reignited (sorry) the controversy on a Los Angeles radio show Friday, adding that "nobody seen Tupac dead." No word yet from Tupac's hologram, but we'll let you know if he has comment.

According to the former Death Row Records CEO, no one saw the corpse (which is weird, because he died in a hospital, but let's go with it for now). Knight claims he gave "three million dollars, cash" to the person who was supposed to cremate Pac's body and never heard from that individual again.

"Maybe the question is ... Pac's not really dead ... Pac's somewhere else," he said.

Of course, it would be a convenient twist for Knight, as his violent past and dubious associations led many to wonder if he himself was involved in Pac's killing. As previously mentioned, he was at the scene of Tupac's 1996 murder, a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. The murder remains unsolved, though everyone from Diddy to Suge to Biggie to Orlando Anderson and other members of the Southside Crips have been accused of varying degrees of involvement in the shooting.

Though multiple accounts maintain that Knight didn't have any involvement, a cloud of suspicion has followed him ever since. Regardless, someone should probably tell the Outlawz. As for Pac, holler if you hear him.

Racism Show Up In Hunger Game Movie Review

It wasn't all good news for Team "Hunger Games" over the weekend. Despite fawning reviews and record-breaking ticket sales, some fans of the blockbuster young adult trilogy by author Suzanne Collins were upset by the decision to cast an African-American actress as Rue, one of the supporting characters. Never mind that she's described as having "dark brown skin" in the original book.

As Jezebel notes, many "Hunger Games" viewers resorted to sending racist tweets over the fact that Rue (played in the film by young actress Amandla Sternberg) was black.
"Why does Rue have to be black," wrote one ignorant fan, whose Twitter page no longer exists. "Not gonna lie, kinda ruined the movie."

"Awkward moment when Rue is some black girl and not the innocent blonde girl you picture," wrote another user, whose account has also been deleted.
