VIDEO: YO GOTTI FT GUCCI MANE, TRINA AND NICKI MINAJ – 5 STAR CHICK (REMIX)
Up until this point I had successfully avoided listening to the much hyped remix of ‘5 Star Chick’ and the female “rapper” of the moment Nicki Minaj, but I finally gave in today. Curiousity got the better of me. People Stateside seem to be going crazy over this Nicki Minaj, and after listening to her “spit” I am baffled as to why anyone would give her props. Has it really come to this on the female rapper front? Trina refuses to disappear […]

UK MUSIC: POUND STERLING – ‘FRESH’
UK artist Pound Sterling reminds me of 50 Cent (circa 2003 image) and this video /track is just the UK version of Fiddy’s ‘I Get Money’. Hmmmm.. the production isn’t bad. Do you know what? Pound Sterling, the track, the tired video concept, the whole ‘let’s pretend I’m a rich American rapper’ vibe, and the Pound Sterling sign tatooed on his left peck, I find it all highly amusing! I love it! LOL! [Thanks K] Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
UK TV: 13 YEAR OLD DIONNE BROMFIELD SINGS LIVE ON STRICTLY COME DANCING
13 year old Dionne Bromfield sang live last night on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ with her “godmother” Amy Winehouse singing backing vocals. Obviously Dionne’s connection to Amy has opened many doors for her ( hanging out in nightclubs with Amy, signed to a major label, appearing on Strictly etc), but the girl can sing. I was impressed. However not sure what her ‘”godmother” Waste Woman Winehouse was doing. Was she even singing? All I could hear were the male backing vocalists… And Winehouse looked completely […]
MTV 2009 HOTTEST MC’S IN THE GAME TOP 10 LIST
MTV has released their annual Hottest MC’s In The Game list and this year it is truly ridiculous. Seriously I don’t know whether to laugh or bawl out loud.

I want names!!!! 01 – Jay-Z (NO SURPRISES HERE!!!) 02 – Lil Wayne (*huge sigh*) 03 – Drake (WHY?) 04 – Kanye West (*huge sigh) 05 – Rick Ross (WHY?) 06 – Gucci Mane (THERE ARE NO […]
REGGAE / DANCEHALL FLASH BACK (1990s)
This post is dedicated to Reggae/Dancehall hits from the 1990s. Frighty & Colonel Mite – ‘Life Is What You Make It’ (1990) I haven’t heard this track in YEARS!!! I didn’t even know they made a video! Wow memories! [Thanks Nessa] Patra – ‘Dip & Fall Back’ I was never a big Patra fan but I liked this track. Cutty Ranks – ‘Who Seh Me Done’ and ‘Limb By Limb’ (1992) I used to listen to both tracks every morning before I […]
WHITNEY HOUSTON PERFORMS ‘I LOOK TO YOU’ ON GERMAN TV’S WETTEN DAS
I am really happy because Whitney’s voice is still there! This is the best she has sounded in sometime. Ok it isn’t exactly the same voice we all grew to know and love back in the 80s/90s but this was a good effort. Check out the studio audience’s reaction at the end. People are just happy she’s back.
