Listen Later

Ironically, Issa is reportedly remaking the movie "Set It Off". According to reports, the project is still in early development stage, but Issa will likely star in the movie herself, and it's unknown as to whether it will be an actual remake of the film or just a reboot. Rae will produce with plans to star in the project. Syreeta Singleton and Nina Gloster have been hired to pen the script. Montrel McKay (Issa Rae Productions) will produce alongside Rae. Can't wait for this one! J. Lo set it off also with her new movie "Hustlers" being her best live-action box office opening of her career. Hustlers, JLo's latest motion picture, came in at #2. Director Lorene Scafaria's stripper-revenge dramedy made $33.2 million at the box office in its opening weekend. That total is the highest amount for a live-action Lopez-led movie, surpassing the $23 million for 2005's Monster-in-Law. Plus, the $33.2 million is the largest opening for STXfilms, topping the $23.8 million for 2016's Bad Moms. Congratulations goes out also to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’ for being the longest charting hip-hop album of all time. Lamar’s opus landed on the Billboard 200 this week at No.141 which isn’t nothing to boast about, but it did mark the albums 358th straight week on the charts. That makes it the longest-charting Hip-Hop album of all time, surpassing Eminem’s The Eminem Show. The crew also discussed for, "The Illastr8 Hot Take", 'when your best friend is a sidepiece'. It got a little rowdy in studio, but check it out and let us know what you think? Until next Wednesday, 9-10 pm...
