VIDEO: T.I FEATURING CHRIS BROWN – GET BACK UP

Check out the official video for T.I ‘s single Get Back Up featuring Chris Brown. I just watched the video. The video looks as if it was made on a shoe string budget and the track is weak! It sounds like it was produced/recorded 5 years ago. T.I apologises for the foolish behaviour that has landed him back in prison, but at this point people are past caring. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

QUOTE OF THE DAY: DEF JAM VICE-PRESIDENT OF A&R BU THIAM

Photograph Source In response to the rumour that Island Def Jam CEO LA Reid has been fired, Akon’s brother/Vice President of A&R (that role still exists?) Bu Thiam said this? As an Island Def Jam Executive, and more importantly a music fan, the recent heat that LA Reid has come under, in my opinion is extremely whack! Everyday I’ve been getting calls from people asking “When is LA getting fired? or what happened to Def Jam?” The ironic thing about this whole []

UK MUSIC: TINCHY STRYDER, DELVIN, GIGGS, TINIE TEMPAH, PROF GREEN, CHIPMUNK AND EXAMPLE – GAME OVER

Tinchy Stryder’s video for Game Over is here folks, featuring the artists listed above. The track – The 13-21 year old demographic will love it.

The problem is there is a lack of charisma here and they fail to command the viewer’s attention.
