Devin The Dude, Lil Duval Starring in Movie 'Hillbilly Highway'

Houston, Texas rap star Devin the Dude and Jacksonville, Florida, comedian Lil Duval will play the lead characters in a new film titled Hillbilly Highway. The movie, which is being produced by Eddie Griffin, is currently wrapping up filming in Atlanta, according to director, Damon "Coke" Daniels. Hillbilly Highway follows the antics of two marijuana-loving brothers, Earl and Ray Ray. The pair embark on a journey in search of a mythical highway in Kentucky, which they believe leads to "marijuana nirvana." On their quest, they end up in the middle of a feud between the "Gatfields" and "McCroys," based off the legendary feud between real-life families, the Hatfield and the McCoys. When they defend "Paw Gatsfield's" only daughter, the pair are granted entrance into the Gatsfield's mountain stronghold. When Paw discovers that Earl and Ray Ray plan to run away with his valuable "crop," a horde of hillbillies chase the pair out of Kentucky. "Hillbilly Highway is really going to take people by surprise," Eddie Griffin promised. "We have a fantastic team and working with Damon "Coke" Daniels has been a great experience. I can't wait for the camera to stop rolling so I can see the finished product."

Young Buck Says 50 Cent Is Trying To Destroy His Career

Nashville, Tennessee rapper Young Buck recently took aim at 50 Cent, revealing the Queens-rapper is still feuding with him and attempting to destroy his career. Young Buck was once a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit collective. Under his tenure with 50's G-Unit Records, the rapper was featured on the hit album Beg for Mercy, while his album Straight Outta Cashville went platinum. But Young Buck was unceremoniously kicked out of G-Unit for allegedly being disloyal to the group in April of 2008. According to Young Buck, 50 Cent is blackballing him from the rap game and preventing him from working with other artists, due to his contractual obligation to G-Unit. "[He wants] to pretty much destroy my life from a silent-sided way of doing things. That's his angle, and my contracts allow him to be able to do that," the rapper said. Young Buck stated that he is still very much in demand as an artist and has had the opportunity to work with a variety of artists. "The problem is, I go to be a feature on their hit record, and then they have to go to 50 Cent to clear me on the record, and he says, 'No.' And they're looking like, 'Well, damn' — cause if it wasn't for that I would probably be on every record that's out right now, cause everybody and their mama reaches out and gives me support."

Exclusive: Lloyd Banks Beats Assault Charge In Canada

G-Unit member Lloyd Banks won a major victory in court last week (July 15th), when an Ontario judge dismissed criminal charges against the Queens, New York rapper. The charges stemmed from an incident in January of 2010, when Lloyd Banks, born Christopher Lloyd and a group of men allegedly assaulted Chris Hines, a well known booking agent in Ontario, Canada. Banks and several other men were accused of assaulting Hines at Club NV, just outside of Ontario. Hines claimed that Banks and several other men held him hostage in a hotel room and assaulted him for over 20 minutes. Last week, Justice Michael Epstein dismissed all charges relating to the January incident, which sparked headlines around the world. "Banks would like to thank his Canadian counsel, Patrick Ducharme, and the authorities in Ontario for doing 'the right thing," Banks' United States lawyer, Scott Leemon ESQ., told AllHipHop.com. "After a careful and neutral evaluation of the facts, it is good to see that the system actually worked," Leemon stated. "With this finally behind him, Banks looks forward to coming back to Canada soon."
