MOBO AWARDS 2010 – GIGGS CHATS TO 1XTRA’S MAX

UK rapper Giggs was interviewed before his surprise appearance on stage at the MOBO Awards (Music Of Black Origin) on Thursday night. At the beginning of this footage it says ‘Giggs chats to Max’,  but it should actually say ‘Max chats to Giggs’, because she’s the one doing most of the chatting. I’ve come to the conclusion that Giggs is shy and a nervous wreck when being interviewed, which explains the one/two word answers.   I think his label should fly him over to the States and send []

MOBO AWARDS 2010 – TINCHY STRYDER, PROF GREEN, GIGGS, DEVLIN & TINIE TEMPAH – GAME OVER

Most of you will know by now that I don’t have much time for rap/grime acts from these shores (bar a few) but this performance (believe it or not) was the only highlight (for soooooooo  many reasons ha ha) of an other wise uneventful and painful evening. I would like to hear Jay-Z, Eminem, Fabolous and Kanye rapping over this beat. Anyway your thoughts on the performance please. Hit or Miss?

QUOTE OF THE DAY: K’NAAN

Via K’naan’s twitter “Thanks for the MOBO Award UK! It’s an honor to win Best African Act having lived outside of the continent most of my life now.” [Thanks Marvin Sparks] Hmmmmm….

UK MUSIC: CHOCKZ – MISS ME REFIX

Check out up and coming rapper Chockz and his new track Miss Me Refix. I like his flow, but It will be interesting to see how he continues to develop as an artist in say the next 12 months or so. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

MOBO AWARDS 2010 – THE WINNERS

Well the ‘highly anticipated’ MOBO Awards ended an hour ago, and they should never hold the event in Liverpool again.  The only time the audience showed any real enthusiasm was when premiership footballers ( I cannot remember his name) Tim Cahill and Tim Howard appeared on stage to present an award, and when Billy Ocean collected a lifetime achievement award. But other than that they were pretty mute. US rapper Nelly performed his new single but surprisingly didn’t close the show (I thought []

UK TV: MOBO AWARDS 2010 – TONIGHT!

This is just a reminder to all my UK-based visitors… The MOBO Awards will air live on BBC 3 tonight (20th October) at 9pm. However it will clash with The Apprentice (over on BBC 1 at 9pm). I love that show and Lord Sugar, but I feel I have a duty to tune in to the car crash over on BBC 3. In other news… It’s been reported that X-Factor reject Gamu Nhengu will appear on stage to sing alongside boy band JLS.
