Word on the street... Soulja Boy to remake "Juice" originally cast by TuPac

The need for respect in hip-hop often comes with a hefty price. Rappers have served jail time and sacrificed their careers all in the name of juice. The word, popularized by the ’92 cult classic flick Juice, which starred a young Tupac Shakur and Omar Epps, became a part of hip-hop lexicon as another word for respect. This year, one of rap’s most questioned stars is set to remake the film into a mini-movie.

Yesterday (Apr.20) Soulja Boy released a free mixtape to serve as the soundtrack for his version of Juice. VIBE caught up with SB just a few hours before the tape’s release to get the skinny on the new music and movie, his recent conversations with Birdman, Lil B’s controversial album title and his desire to pursue acting.—Mikey Fresh
