After a seemingly endless amount of delays, the Entourage movie is finally in full swing. Doug Ellin, the show’s creator, has been photo-happy on Instagram as of late, posting numerous images from the set. In that mass of photos, Kid Cudi has popped up a couple of times (the rapper will be playing Ari Gold’s assistant in the film). Up top, you’ll see Cudi with Jeremy Piven (Ari Gold), Doug Ellin, as well as Super Bowl winning Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. You can also check out a bonus shot below, with Cudi and Ellin. Entourage is scheduled to hit theaters June 12, 2015.

Today HBO announced some changes to their lineup, and How To Make It In America got cut like like the scrawny cat that got dunked on in tryouts. Since the last three seasons of Entourage were almost unbearable to watch, HTMIIA became a glimpse of hope. The first season was alright. Cudi’s character, Domingo, showed some comedic promise. Luis Guzmán was perfect for his role. But the real reason why I kept on tuning in every Sunday night was to see what Cam and Ben‘s next move was. I might be biased since the show actually  convinced me to finally venture on up to the big city, but I thought the second season was pretty solid. The first episode started off with a bang. It got caught up in the middle, but you can’t deny the dopeness of the finale. Crisp had jeans now! What was next for Crisp? What was going to happen with Ben and Rachel? Would we ever get to see Rachel’s rack? We will never know. Hit the jump for more. 

Unlike Entourage, most of the HTMIIA’s audience and I could relate to Ben and Cam’s daily hustle. Vince, E., Turtle and Drama lived a life most young guys dreamed of. Ben and Cam live the life that I live (loosely speaking, of course) and want, still.  They made grinding look cool.

Sure, there were no epic scenes à la Ari’s paintball rampage, but damn it was only two seasons old! Alas, the numbers weren’t there. I guess the show’s fans can attribute that to people like me- the broke college kids that can’t afford the extra $15 a month for the HBO package. I guess I owe a special thank you to Rap Radar for posting every episode at approximately noon every Monday.

Now, a moment of silence for How To Make It In America.
