UK MUSIC SCENE ANTICS: LETHAL B RESPONDS TO N-DUBZ DOCUMENTARY

June 23, 2010 9 comments

N-Dubz: L-R Fazar, Tulisa and Dappy

[Thanks Yinka]

On Monday night Channel 4 aired the first episode of N-Dubz’s new documentary Being.. N-Dubz.

Rapper Lethal B who claims the group stole a track from him, was featured on the documentary arguing with group member Dappy at a ‘celebrity’ football match.

Lethal, who we must remember is a GROWN MAN, has now taken it upon himself to set the record straight about the incident and gives Grime Daily “the real story”.

*HUGE SIGH*

Beyond juvenile.

EMBARRASSING.

This is just getting ridiculous now.  If it’s not Lethal attacking the group via YouTube, it’s some random artist called UK Worries  (cousin to Reggae star Beenie Man) that I spotted over at The Lala Report.

I have no clue what this man’s ‘beef’ is, but my message to UK Worries would be to focus less on what N-Dubz are doing, and focus more on developing your own musical style/ persona/image.

The world does not need another Beenie Man.

Check out the videos below. Once you get past the pointless rantings you will see exactly what I mean.

Again EMBARRASSING!

Two grown men acting like their still in the school playground.

What a sad state of affairs folks!

These are our role models.

Christopher 'Dudus' Coke

Via BBC News

Jamaican police say they have arrested suspected drug lord Christopher “Dudus” Coke on the outskirts of Kingston.

He was detained at a roadblock on Tuesday accompanied by Rev Al Miller, a preacher who said Mr Coke was going to the US embassy to hand himself in.

The government wants to extradite him to face US drug and gun trafficking charges. His case has shed light on the links between politicians and gangs.

Attempts to capture him in May led to clashes in which scores of people died. Continue Reading….

Oh dear…

Well this is going to be interesting…

So Solid star Mega Man sat down and shared his views on today’s UK “Urban” music scene and it’s artists.

Mega made some pretty good points. And I will always respect what So Solid achieved all those years ago. I’m only sorry it didn’t last.

However is the track playing in the background going to be Mega’s new single?

If so then…

ALICIA KEYS RECEIVES BLESSING AT ZULU CEREMONY

June 22, 2010 Leave a comment

Singer Alicia Keys and producer/fiance Swizz Beatz had their unborn child blessed in a Zulu ceremony while in South Africa for the World Cup.

According to the Daily Mail Alicia and her unborn child were given Zulu names while standing under a fig tree known as the “healing tree”.

As you can see it turned in to a ”media event’.

*rolls eyes*

But I understand that Alicia was chosen to receive the blessing as a thank you, for all the work she has done in the region.

I wish her the best of luck.

UK TV: JAMES CORDEN’S WORLD CUP LIVE – CALM DOWN JAMES!

James Corden with England Captain Steven Gerrard

I have been watching actor/’comedian’ James Corden’s new World Cup Live show (TFI Friday rip off) on ITV 1 and ITV 4 since the tournament kicked off in South Africa on June 11th, and it is quite entertaining.  However his interviews with individual members from the ridiculously lacklustre England squad (waste men) has so far been embarrassing to watch.

I know that James is a huge football fan and that footballers in this country are treated like “Gods”, but he seriously needs to calm down, and needs to get a grip of himself.

So far the star has interviewed England’s team captain Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, John Terry and Peter Crouch, who actually looked as if they enjoyed spending time with a brown-nosing/over excited James. But it makes for uncomfortable viewing watching a grown man giggle like a groupie, who then follows that up with an over exaggerated high-pitched laugh whenever anything mildly amusing passes each man’s lips.

It also makes for uncomfortable viewing when he tries to be overly funny, then becomes animated, invades their personal space by sitting/standing too close, and makes it blatantly obvious that he craves their acceptance.

I cannot help but cringe.  It’s all so desperate.

To my UK-based visitors who have not seen James Corden’s World Cup Live, tune in to ITV 1 tomorrow night (Wednesday 23rd June) at 9.30pm, and you will see exactly what I mean.

*Footage of his interviews might now also be available to watch on YouTube.*

UK NEWS: ROBBIE EARLE SAYS ITV BOSSES KNEW ABOUT THE 400 WORLD CUP TICKETS

Former footballer and fired TV pundit Robbie Earle has claimed that ITV bosses knew he was buying 400 World Cup tickets through them.

Earle insisted that he had no idea friend Keith Higgins, would sell them on to a third party breaking FIFA rules.

The Daily Mail also reports that ITV is now at the centre of a World Cup ticketing storm after it was revealed that,

A top ITV executive – one of its four directors of news and sport – helped organise Earle’s massive allocation for 11 high-profile matches, including England’s group games, with a face value of £70,000.

And The Mail on Sunday’s investigation has established that Earle’s friend, Keith Higgins, has also regularly been involved in the unofficial sale of tickets for sold-out international sporting events, concerts and West End shows – including supplying them to a top political public relations firm with close links to the Labour Party.

A strained looking Robbie Earle

Poor Robbie.. he doesn’t look too good does he?

All I can say is you should have exercised better judgement Robbie, for reasons that I can’t even be bothered to go in to. It’s too obvious.

The man should have kept his head down and nose clean.

Robbie has lost his livelihood and will continue to pay dearly for his mistake, while “friend” Keith Higgins and the top ITV executive will both continue to earn a decent living once this has all blown over.

Chris Evans

South Africa is hosting the biggest show on earth (The World Cup) and now here come the jokes….

Via The Guardian

TV/radio personality Chris Evans has apologised for posting a joke about poverty in Africa and the World Cup on Twitter.

Evans retweeted a joke about African football fans and the noisy horns known as vuvuzelas that had been circulating on the micro-blogging site.

“Apologies for last retweet didn’t read it properly,” he said. “Never meant to offend. Not funny at all.”

The 44-year-old Evans, who has more than 84,000 followers on Twitter, said:

“You give an African £2 a month and what do they do? Buy a bloody trumpet.”

The comment sparked criticism from some of his followers, with one calling it a “bit Bernard Manning”. Another wrote: “Chris Evans is a backward racist. I used to like this fool. Let’s make jokes about gingers and see how he likes it!”

Evans soon removed the tweet and apologised, claiming he had not read the joke properly before retweeting it to his followers.

Chris you know you laughed out loud after reading that joke that’s why you retweeted it to your followers.

Claiming that you had not read it properly…. now that’s funny!!!

ha ha ha!
