UK MUSIC: TALEY RILEY – HUMANOID

August 31, 2010 3 comments

First of all let me thank Social Writers Blog for bringing singer/songwriter Taley Riley to my attention, who apparently co-wrote Chipmunk’s number 1 classic Oopsy Daisy.

Humanoid is Taley’s debut single and I’m sorry but Taley is just a Taio Cruz clone. His image.. his sound.. that’s Taio!

But the track is kind of catchy.

Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

UK MUSIC NEWS: ‘TWO MAJOR MANAGEMENT COMPANIES’ APPROACH ‘SINGER’ SHARDINAY WITH 250K DEAL

August 30, 2010 8 comments

The personal assistant (Celeast) of karaoke ‘singer’ Shardinay has announced today via Twitter that ‘two major management companies’ have approached the vocally challenged “star” with a 250k deal.

Celeast back again with ur updates on Shardinay… Well ur heard the rumors £250k deal… I can confirm this 2 b true… More 2 follow…

2 major management companies have approached us with a £250k deal… We have a lot 2 think about now n big decisions 2 make… More 2 follow

Either Celeast is lying or the head honchos at both management companies have completely lost their minds and have more money than sense.

Also according to Celeast, Shardinay has been offered the chance to perform in Las Vegas…

I can also announce that my recent trip back home to Vegas was a success 4 Shardinay with an offer of a performance at a major hotel

Which major hotel in Vegas wants to book Shardinay???? Enquiring minds would like to know.

INSANE! But if this all turns out to be true then I wish Shardinay the best of luck.

NEW MUSIC: KANYE WEST FT JAY-Z, RICK ROSS, BON IVER, CHARLIE WILSON AND NICKI MINAJ – MONSTER

August 29, 2010 8 comments

First off I have no idea who Bon Iver is and secondly why does  Nicki insist on rapping with a ‘Jamaican’ accent? Just leave it alone Nicki.  Stop making a mockery out of the Jamaican accent.

The delusional keep saying  “Nicki killed it” on Monster. Erm.. no she didn’t! She sounds like she should be locked up in a padded cell. The woman sounds demented.

As for the track.. well its nothing to write home about. It’s just a bunch of artists chatting doo doo over a beat produced by Kanye.

UK MUSIC: SWAY FT AKON – JUST A MATTER OF TIME

August 28, 2010 Leave a comment

UK rapper Sway is back with the single Just A Matter O f Time featuring Akon.

Okay so I know Sway has never rapped in an American accent, but why does he sound a bit like Young Jeezy on this track? And when did he start mimicking his flow?

Other than that I quite like Just A Matter Of Time.

PARIS HILTON ARRESTED FOR COCAINE POSSESSION

US socialite and paparazzi darling Paris Hilton was arrested in Las Vegas on charges of cocaine possession, but released shortly afterwards, local police said Saturday.

“Police stopped a black Cadillac Escalade outside the Wynn Hotel about 11:30 pm Friday, because officers believed someone inside was smoking pot, and officers found an unspecified amount of cocaine in a purse of Ms. Hilton’s,” Las Vegas police spokesman Marcus Martin told AFP.

“She was arrested… on a felony cocaine possession charge,” he said, adding that the Las Vegas Police Department planned to release further details later Saturday.

Hilton’s spokeswoman Dawn Miller did not respond to AFP’s calls for comment.

Paris claims that the purse did not belong to her.

Didn’t you use that line before Paris?

I’m willing to bet that a member from her entourage has been offered a handsome sum of money, and is preparing to take the fall.

WYCLEF JEAN RELEASES NEW TRACK IN PROTEST AGAINST HIS REJECTION TO RUN AS PRESIDENT OF HAITI

August 27, 2010 1 comment

It seems that musician and wannabe politician Wyclef Jean is having a hard time accepting his rejection as a presidential candidate for Haiti’s November election.

To cut a long story short Wyclef’s bid was rejected because the Haitian constitution requires candidates to have lived in the country for five years prior to an election. The former Fugees star hasn’t lived in the country for years and is therefore ineligible to run.

Wyclef, however, isn’t taking the news lying down and according to Punchbowl Blog is blaming outgoing President Rene Preval of engineering his rejection.

The rapper has also written and recorded a track telling the world about the ‘unfairness’ of it all.

…………………………………

Get over it Wyclef!  Move on! 

Think of another way to support/help your homeland in it’s hour of need. Or is being called PRESIDENT Wyclef Jean, the added perks that come with the title and escaping accusations of fraud with regards to your charity more important to you?  

I’ve watched superstar Clef prance around Haiti in an expensive suit with an entourage in tow, watched him being crowd surfed to the stage before delivering his first campaign speech and heard him liken himself to Obama. I can’t help but give him the side eye.

To quote various US bloggers - ”Something in the milk ain’t clean”.
