Ice Cube x ESPN. The silver and black were an iconic fashion statement for NWA during the 80′s hey days so it’s no surprise that Ice Cube will be paying his tribute to the Los Angeles Raiders by producing a documentary about the team for ESPN. The documentary will be called “Straight Outta L.A.” which is of course a play off NWA’s biggest album “Straight Outta Compton.” The documentary will explore the origins of the Raiders from their time as an Oakland-based team, until 1982, when owner Al Davis won a court decision allowing the team to move to Los Angeles. Ice Cube had the following to say about his love of the Raiders:

“In 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected president, few white kids were listening to Rap and I was an 11-year-old kid in South Central Los Angeles,” Ice Cube said in a statement. “I was into sports and watched as many games as I could on TV—the Lakers, USC Football, UCLA, but I hadn’t developed a connection to any particular football team. But that fall, something clicked as I watched the Oakland Raiders.”

“The music, lyrics and images that I created with N.W.A as a solo artist and as an actor helped turn the Raiders into something more than a football team. It’s been 21 years since we released Straight Outta Compton, but to this day, kids all over the world buy Raiders gear, imitate the “Gangster Rap” style and try to connect with the South Central L.A. vibe that we brought to the masses.”

No word yet on when “Straight Outta L.A.” will air. Let’s hope it helps inspire the Raiders this year as they kick off the NFL season against the Chargers Monday night on September 14th. They are gonna need all the luck they can get this year.

If Wayne is king of the mix tape, then MC Hammer is king of Twitter and Facebook. Think that might be a stretch? Well of all the celebs and artists who use social media (including Diddy and his millions of Twitter followers), it was MC Hammer who was invited to speak at Harvard University as part of the Gravity Summit which focuses on educating entrepreneurs and marketing experts of how to make the most use of social media outlets.

At the recent conference Hammer stated ““I’m both an entrepreneur and a brand. Being in the center of my universe is important to me. That’s what Twitter lets me do…I want to get out in front of the conversation.’’

Hammer has recently resurrected his career where he previously lost millions in bad investments and declared bankruptcy. But with his recent resurgence in popularity on sites like Twitter and his hit A&E reality show, the Hammer brand is looking stronger than ever. Well maybe not gold parachute pants strong…but he’s still in a pretty good place now.

Nelly x Apple Bottom. In the days where it seems like every rapper’s clothing line is going under, Nelly’s Apple Bottom jeans line has actually expanded during these rough economic times proving…women need them jeans for them apple bottom asses no matter what the cost. Nelly just opened their first Apple Bottom boutique store in a Dillard’s department store this past week and is set on further expansion into other malls. Next for the Apple Bottom empire? A fragrance line.

Kim Kardashian has just signed a deal with 50 Cent’s newly formed cosmetics company Lighthouse Beauty, to create and distribute her own line of fragrances. Kardashian had the following to say to Women’s Wear Daily about the deal:

“What’s so different about their approach is that they have worked closely with me on all aspects of my fragrance, the bottle, the juice, and even our distribution strategy. I can develop a product that truly represents me and speaks to my fans. Because of their commitment to including me in the process, the fragance really captures who I am.”

As previously reported, the first product to roll out under the Lighthouse Beauty line is 50′s new cologne called Power by 50 which is supposed to drop in stores in time for this year’s Holiday season.
