Terrence Howard inks record deal
Posted by Media Outrage on March 14, 2008
Terrence Howard once said that he didn’t like the way rappers were infiltrating the acting industry without formal training because he just felt that they didn’t take it serious and that they were f*cking up his profession. He also said that he had rap skills and could do that any day he wanted as if what they do is not serious. Well he has inked a record deal with Columbia Records and will get a chance to prove whether he is really nice or not.
Via EW:
Apparently members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences weren’t the only ones impressed by Terrence Howard’s Oscar-nominated role as a pimp-turned-rapper in 2005’s Hustle & Flow. EW has learned exclusively that the 39-year-old Crash veteran, now starring in the Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, has landed a record deal with Columbia Records. “The full name [of the project] is Terrence Howard Presents Me and the Band of Kings,” says a label rep, who adds that the group’s as-yet-untitled debut CD “is slated for a fall release.” Maybe it’s not so hard out here for a pimp after all.
