• Wu-Tang Clan 'A Better Tomorrow' Video Features Footage from Michael Brown and Eric Garner Protests [WATCH]

    Wu-Tang Clan dropped a video for the title track off their new album "A Better Tomorrow," and it is one powerful, political visual. The group used footage from protests revolving around the recent decisions to not indict police officers who killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York. Both grand jury verdicts have caused unrest throughout the country and political debates among friends, family and famous personalities.The video opens with a snippet of an address by President Barack Obama, who says the incidents are part of larger issues that have been in the public eye for four decades. Scenes from protests follow, with police sporting riot gear and citizens chanting "Hands up, don't shoot.""We want justice," Raekwon raps. "Police are supposed to protect and serve / And then they shoot us down like wild animals, the nerve / Of them cold-hearted killers with blue suits / Slaying our black youth."Check out the video below.

Each member takes turns delivering his verse, while Method Man anchors the tune with his gravely voice on the bridge: I can see your drawers, pull your pants up / Can't even call yourself a man until you man up / And if you call yourself a fan you need to stand up / This ain't a party, it's a jux, keep your hands up.He leads the all-inclusive hook Wu forever, and we're still number one, still number one, still number one!" that turns into chanting from each of the members.

    If you were looking forward to that Joni Mitchell/Carole King/Carly Simon biopic "Girls Like Us," then today, Nov. 25, you are out of luck. In an interview with "The Sunday Times," via "NME," Joni Mitchell revealed that she has pulled the plug on the project, citing the casting of Taylor Swift as one of the primary reasons."I squelched that!" Mitchell admitted. "I said to the producer, 'All you've got is a girl with high cheekbones.' It's just a lot of gossip, you don't have the great scenes.""There's a lot of nonsense about me in books," Mitchell went on to say, "assumptions, assumptions, assumptions."The now-halted film was based on the book "Girls Like Us" by Sheila Weller, which followed the rise of Mitchell and her singer-songwriter contemporaries Carly Simon and Carole King during the 1970s. Swift was cast as Mitchell back in 2012, with "Mad Men's" Jessica Pare cast as Simon and "The Newsroom's" Alison Pill cast as King.
