Loyal reader The Real NV said something the other day that got me thinking. He said I should give UK rapper and BET Best UK Hip Hop winner Giggs “a chance”, after I posted a clip of him in the studio recording a track, and then promptly went on to slate the rapper.

Us South Londoners should support each other. […]
SMH LOL!!!
UK MUSIC: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY N-DUBZ – ‘PAPA’ I do respect N-Dubz’s hustle.

Rapper T.I recently appeared on the ‘Chelsea Lately’ show. This is a funny interview. The show’s host Chelsea Handler is one of my favourite comedian’s right now. I watch her show every night on the E! Channel (11.30pm). The woman’s hilarious! Oh can somebody please explain to me why T.I acts so coy when asked if he has a girlfriend? Why not just answer ‘YES! I am in a serious/loving relationship with the mother of my two children ( former X-Scape group member Tameka “Tiny” Cottle) and we are very happy’. Refering to Tiny […]
