"The Evening News" is a song by rapper Chamillionaire from his second album, Ultimate Victory.

Background

Contrary to first belief, the song was produced by Kane Beatz, not Just Blaze according to an interview on mp3.com. Although the song's music video being released with the "Hip Hop Police" video, the song is not the album's second single and as of November 2007, does not have a definite single release date.

Music video

The music video for "Evening News" made its debut along with the video for "Hip Hop Police" on BET's 106 & Park on July 27. Both videos can currently be seen on Chamillionaire's MySpace page. Chamillionaire plays both himself and "Bob O'Wildy" (A parody of Bill O'Reilly) in the video, acting out a news story. Chamillionaire's Bob O'Wildy bears a resemblance to Dave Chappelle's character Chuck Taylor, also a white news anchor, from Chappelle's Show. He makes comments about President Bush golfing when the reporter attempts to distract him from making comments that might offend people, stating that George Bush taking a putt is far more important than relevant issues.

Evening News, formerly known as The Evening News, was an evening newspaper published in London from 1881 to 1980, reappearing briefly in 1987. It became highly popular under the control of the Harmsworth brothers. For a long time it maintained the largest daily sale of any evening newspaper in London. After financial struggles and falling sales it was eventually merged with its long-time rival the Evening Standard in 1980.

Early history

The paper was founded by Coleridge Kennard and Harry Marks. The first issue appeared on July 26, 1881. It was the first popular evening paper in London. It was priced at one halfpenny, distinguishing itself from the more serious penny papers such as The Times. The first issues were printed on light blue paper and later editions on yellow and green paper.

The rivalry between halfpenny papers in the late 19th century was fierce and almost ended the Evening News. According to some sources the paper was losing £40,000 a year. In 1894 the brothers Alfred and Harold Harmsworth bought the paper for £25,000.
