PREVIEW: BRITISH ACTOR AML AMEEN STARS IN NEW US DRAMA HARRY’S LAW

May 19, 2010

I announced on Mad News earlier this year that British actor Aml Ameen (Kidulthood and The Bill) had bagged a role in the new US drama Harry’s Law. Now check out the preview below. I follow a few British actors/entertainers on Twitter and any day now their huge heads will explode in to a thousand pieces. A little success and an avalanche of compliments received via Twitter, and they turn fool. But I don’t get that big-headed vibe from Aml. This is […]

UK VIDEO: SELAH FT SADIE AMA & MZ BRATT – WOMAN’S WORLD

May 19, 2010

When I first posted Woman’s World on the site several months ago I said that I liked it, and still do. However I still think that they could have done without the guest rapper on the track. There are songs out there that don’t require a rapper to spit bars. This is one of them. But regardless I think the song will be a hit. The video – They all look beautiful standing in front of the black background, but the other […]

UK MUSIC: TINIE TEMPAH – FRISKY

May 17, 2010

Tinie Tempah’s latest single Frisky sounds pretty good. His style of rapping sounds familiar though. But I can’t quite put my finger on who he reminds me of yet. Anyway I like the track but cannot stand the “chocolate biscuit”  line. It sounds out of place. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

May 17, 2010

Via The Mail An art teacher accused of hurting a badly behaved pupil with a tube of glue began a £10,000-a-day trial today over the ‘relatively minor injury’. Lynda May is accused of slamming a Pritt Stick on to the 12-year-old’s desk and catching his thumb after he lost his temper.

UK MUSIC: CHIPMUNK – SUPERSTAR

May 15, 2010

Rapper Chipmunk tells us he wants to be a “superstar” in his latest single.  He wants the money, the fame blah blah blah, but “doesn’t want the stress”. Yeah good luck with that Chippy. When I look at Chipmunk and read his posts via Twitter, I can just tell it’s all gone to his head. The guy has one of the biggest ego’s out there. Yes as a rapper you’re supposed to have a certain air of confidence and swagger, but there […]

May 14, 2010

“TV Rap girl” Donatella Panayiotou has just announced that she will join MTV’s The Wrap Up as a new presenter. Donatella, whose dad Angelo is a millionaire club boss, used to contribute/run the website, Grime Daily, but resigned after a shooting that left several critically wounded at the website’s first anniversary party.

Anyway this is what the ‘UK’s no.1 “URBAN” music expert/presenter Donatella, had to […]
