The Messiah is Back !

Another mixtape masterpiece by the Houston rapper Chamillionaire. Unlike Mixtape Messiah 2 and Mixtape Messiah 3, and like the first installment of the series, it will be sold via retail rather than distributed via free download. According to Chamillionaire's official website, www.chamillionaire.com, it was scheduled to release on December 18, 2007 but has been pushed back to August 27, 2008.

Chamillionaire has released five freestyles on his website in anticipation for Mixtape Messiah 4.The beats used are: Lil Wayne's A Milli, Nas' Hero, Young Jeezy's Put On, The Game's My Life and Shawty Lo's Foolish. These freestyles have been confirmed by Chamillionaire's web designer Jeff to be throwaways and therefore will not be on the Mixtape.

On August 20, 2008, the website posted the album's official tracklist. It consists of 2 segments, namely: "Tracklist" and "Bonus Songs". Contrary to designer Jeff's previous statement, most of the songs released were included- either in the tracklist section or the bonus segment.

Must Watch !!: E! True Hollywood Story: Scarface

Velvet - Aug 30, 2008 - Saturday - 6:00 pm

Scarface is a 1983 crime film directed by Brian De Palma, written by Oliver Stone and starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana. It tells the story of a fictional Cuban refugee who comes to Florida in 1980 as a result of the Mariel Boatlift.

Montana becomes a gangster against the backdrop of the 1980s cocaine boom. The film chronicles his rise to the top of Miami's criminal underworld and subsequent downfall in Greek tragedy fashion. The film is dedicated to Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht, who were the writers of the original Scarface. The film is a loose remake of Hawks's 1932 film of the same title.

The critical response to the film was mixed and received criticism for the violence and graphic language. Despite this, the film did well at the box office and has since gathered a cult following. Scarface has become an important cultural icon for many rap artists and fans, inspiring posters, clothing, and many other references. The film's grainy black and white poster is a very popular decoration and is still in production.
