UK MUSIC: IDRIS ELBA – ‘HOLD ON’

British actor Idris Elba has been out there promoting his musical endeavours for sometime now, but this is the first time I’ve actually bothered to listen to one of his tracks, and I’m now wishing I hadn’t bothered clicking on the play button. Idris should stick to what he is good at  – ACTING!!! I am guessing that he  surrounds himself with a bunch of sycophant ‘yes men” because Hold On is hilariously bad. And can somebody please tell me when Idris []

VIDEO: DRAKE PERFORMS ‘FIND YOUR LOVE’ ON THE JAY LENO SHOW

Check out singer/rapper Drake’s live performance on The Jay Leno Show. Studio technology really does do a fantastic job of fooling people. This live performance is proof that ‘golden boy’ Drake is OVER-RATED. His live vocals are appalling. Flat and out of tune. He is probably a really nice guy but that was piss poor! To the UK fans who have purchased tickets to see Drake perform live in London next month….. have fun! [Thanks Kaydine]

UK MUSIC SCENE ANTICS: LETHAL B RESPONDS TO N-DUBZ DOCUMENTARY

[Thanks Yinka] On Monday night Channel 4 aired the first episode of N-Dubz’s new documentary Being.. N-Dubz. Rapper Lethal B who claims the group stole a track from him, was featured on the documentary arguing with group member Dappy at a ‘celebrity’ football match. Lethal, who we must remember is a GROWN MAN, has now taken it upon himself to set the record straight about the incident and gives Grime Daily “the real story”. *HUGE SIGH* Beyond juvenile. EMBARRASSING. This is just []

JAMAICAN POLICE ARREST SUSPECTED ‘DRUG LORD’ CHRISTOPHER ‘DUDUS’ COKE

He was detained at a roadblock on Tuesday accompanied by Rev Al Miller, a preacher who said Mr Coke was going to the US embassy to hand himself in. The government wants to extradite him to face US drug and gun trafficking charges. His case has shed light on the links between politicians and gangs. Attempts to capture him in May led []

UK MUSIC: SO SOLID STAR MEGA MAN DISSECTS THE UK “URBAN” MUSIC SCENE

So Solid star Mega Man sat down and shared his views on today’s UK “Urban” music scene and it’s artists. Via Brown Eyez Mega made some pretty good points. And I will always respect what So Solid achieved all those years ago. I’m only sorry it didn’t last. However is the track playing in the background going to be Mega’s new single? If so then… NO COMMENT!

UK TV: JAMES CORDEN’S WORLD CUP LIVE – CALM DOWN JAMES!

Source I have been watching actor/’comedian’ James Corden’s new World Cup Live show (TFI Friday rip off) on ITV 1 and ITV 4 since the tournament kicked off in South Africa on June 11th, and it is quite entertaining.  However his interviews with individual members from the ridiculously lacklustre England squad (waste men) has so far been embarrassing to watch. I know that James is a huge football fan and that footballers in this country are treated like “Gods”, but he seriously []
