Tech N9ne spinning jams in ‘Hollywood’

The next big thing for Tech N9ne?
The hometown hero/hip-hop artist looms large on the soundtrack of the movie “Alpha Dog,” now slated for a January release. The Nick Cassavetes film is loosely based on the life of Jesse James Hollywood, an alleged drug dealer who reportedly was one of the youngest men ever to make the FBI’s most wanted list.
“Justin Timberlake is in it with Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone,” Tech N9ne says. “It’s a great movie — you’re going to absolutely dig Justin Timberlake. I wouldn’t have thought Justin could be so dramatic.”
Cassavetes didn’t use Tech N9ne’s score, “But they used a lot of my music in the movie,” he says. “We did country music; we did trance music; we did hip-hop; we did rock ’n’ roll. We got to display a lot of our talents in this movie.”
The reason for the movie’s long delay: “It was supposed to come out last year, but (the FBI) found the guy in Brazil, Jesse James Hollywood,” Tech N9ne says. “And if the movie would have come out, they would have hung him — when I say ‘hung him,’ he would have got a lot of time in jail.”
That’s because Hollywood awaits trial for the murder of a teenager. He sued Universal Studios last month to stop the movie’s January release, saying it would impair his ability to get a fair trial.
