MIAMI POLICE USE JAY-Z’S IMAGE IN ‘REPORT GANG ACTIVITY’ CAMPAIGN

October 8, 2010

Local authorities in Miami have created a banner (below) using two press photographs of the rapper Jay-Z (shot 10 years ago) in ‘report gang activity’ campaign. The images can also be viewed on their website. Via Rap Radar At present Shawn Carter aka Jay-Z gets on my last nerve (for a multitude reasons) BUT the Miami police department is wrong to use his image in this fashion. Plus isn’t this illegal??? I hope he sues their backsides.

UK NEWS / VIDEO: X-FACTOR REJECT ANASTASIA BAKER BLASTS CHER LLOYD

October 6, 2010

X-Factor reject Anastasia Baker isn’t a happy bunny. Check out her interview with tabloid rag The Sun. Admittedly Anastasia does come off as sounding a little jealous, but for the most part she speaks the truth, and she has every right to feel angry. However I have to disagree when she describes Cher Lloyd as being “unique”. A slightly crazed teenager who mimics her favourite US Hip Hop/R&B acts while performing their songs in an off keys fashion is far from “unique” […]

UK MUSIC: ROUGH DIAMONDZ – ‘DO IT LIKE ME’

October 6, 2010

Ruff Diamondz are London-based trio — vocalists Troy (20), Martika (18) and MC Chronz (19). First off group member Martika looks a bit like Aaliyah (Rest In Peace). They sampled the classic Dead Prez track Bigger Than Hip Hop, so Do It Like Me sounds really good, however they should have left out the rapping. The video along with their image/style is very American (late 90s / early 2000s Hip Hop/R&B). Via Brown Eyez Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
