I have always found BBC Radio personality / Hip Hop DJ Tim “Big Dawg” Westwood funny, while others have accused him of being just damn right rude at times.

There seemed to be a lot of animosity in the air. Craig looks visibly uncomfortable, Spoony is trying his hardest to remain professional, and when Westwood drags Reggae DJ Chris Goldfinger in to the mix […]

Last week I posted news about the Light Skin Verses Dark Skin party that is set to take place in Columbus, Ohio (USA) on the 21 January. Well today Media Quicky reports that the “most anticipated party of the year” has now been CANCELLED. According to the website the backlash was so fierce that the club and the promoters decided that it would be best to cancel. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That’s the power of the Internet folks! [Thanks Yinka]

While lurking over at The Lala Report I came across old footage of hit 90s R&B girl group Xscape performing on the brilliant BET show Teen Summit (sadly no longer with us). Judging by the fashion and hairstyles I’m guessing that this was filmed in either 1990 or 1991. Check out Kandi Burruss, LaTocha Scott, Tamika Scott, and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris before they hit the big time, and before rapper T.I turned Tiny fool.
