[[tmz:video id="0_k4w3pkac"]] That random dude, who ran up to Kanye West and freestyled for him, no longer has to spit bars on the street -- he's recorded his first album. Oh, and Kanye produced it! Nbd. You remember Cameron Grey ... the rapper who went viral last year when he impressed 'Ye with an impromptu audition outside the House of Blues. Grey tells TMZ Kanye really did ring him up for a real meeting ... then hooked him up...

Welcome to the March 27, 2015 edition of Outrage Watch, HitFix's (almost) daily rundown of all the things folks are peeved about in entertainment. Today's top story: "Get Hard" is getting slammed. The Will Ferrell-Kevin Hart prison preparedness comedy has been dogged by controversy since its SXSW premiere, when an audience member asked Hart, Ferrell and director Etan Cohen, "Were you nervous -- and/or how nervous were you -- presenting this in front of a live audience being completely, absolutely and unapologetically ... racist and hysterical at the same time?" during an audience Q&A. Not only that, but it's been deemed homophobic by a number of critics and journalists, and our own Drew McWeeny had this to say in his review: "I just couldn't bring myself to laugh at something that will reinforce hatred, that plays into this idea that gay sex is somehow inherently more disgusting than regular sex.

"The new Gamergate: Angry white men are trying to shut down diverse comics," reads the headline of a piece written by Salon's Matt Binder, who claims that "right-wing parasites, misogynist Men’s Rights activists, and opportunistic grifters" including Breitbart contributor Milo Yiannopoulos (many of whom, he alleges, probably don't even read comics) are taking aim at attempts to add more women and racial minorities to mainstream comics, most notably the woman Thor. "The fact that a woman playing Thor would cause such outrage, when even a frog is able to take up the title of Thor sans controversy, is absurd," Binder writes before citing numerous other examples of targeted attacks by the trolls in question. He...

Kanye West may have changed the life of a random dude who did an impromptu street audition and clearly impressed both Kanye and his tag-along buddy, Justin Bieber. Cameron Grey pleaded with Kanye to give him a shot as the rapper left a Big Sean concert Saturday night at the House of Blues in WeHo. Justin stood back and watched as Grey impressively freestyled on the pavement. Grey is just great, and a patient and...

JayGrey has launched a copy-led print campaign for an Australian maker of compression sportswear that hits out at people who don’t take sport seriously.
This is the first time that the brand, called Skins, has used JayGrey. The brief was to challenge men to train harder and feel good during and after exercising.
Erin Chapman, marketing manager of Skins said, “The team at JayGrey presented a number of concepts that really challenged our existing approach on how we speak to our consumers. We were looking for a strong creative idea that captures the driven attitude behind Skins and we feel that the work represents this perfectly”.
The ads are running in Inside Sport, Men’s Health and Men’s Fitness, with a view to using the concepts in stadiums and sponsored sporting events.
