UK MUSIC: HAZE FT SINCERE AND GHETTS – WHERE I’M FROM

… The new breed of UK rapper love to talk about “stacking P” (I am guessing that’s Pound Sterling) and seem desperate to show the world ( in particular America) that ‘yeah London is the new Compton fam’ (hahaha). I find this all highly amusing. The Track – Where I’m From isn’t bad and the producer did a relatively decent job. The Video – The director should have also shot footage of the amount of dog mess that can be seen on London’s streets. That would have helped []

CLASSIC DANCE MOVIE CLIP OF THE DAY: BREAKDANCE / BREAKIN (1984)

Long before the dance cheesefest Step Up and the UK’s even cheesier Street Dance came Breakdance (In America the film was called Breakin but in the UK the title was changed to Breakdance). I LOVED this film when I was a kid and as far as I am concerned it is a classic. Check out a young fresh faced Ice T in the clip below.  Hahaha. Ozone and Turbo meet Elektrorock at the club for a battle. Ice T is the MC! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vtIXFxfnfU

Following on from Forbes’ US Cash Kings 2012 List (Hip-Hop’s Top Earners) the Jump Off UK debate team decided to create their own  UK Rap Cash Kings 2012 list, with hilarious and questionable results. … I bet this debate stirs up some controversy within UK rap circles come tomorrow morning. I can hear it all now.. “Why wasn’t I on the list?”, What does she mean I shouldn’t be on the list?” and “What the f**k? I made more money then MC Harvey”. []

VIDEO: WHERE I’M FROM: JAY-Z BARCLAYS CENTER DOCUMENTARY

Former Marcy Projects waste man Shawn Carter aka Jay-Z treats fans to a behind the scenes look at the creation of his Barclays Center opening shows, which took place earlier this year. For Jay-Z hero worshippers this documentary is probably up there with watching the late great Michael Jackson working behind the scenes preparing for his legendary BAD concerts. But for individuals like myself this documentary is duller than dirty dish water. Same old Jay *yawn*. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBvyEGQeHnk&feature=player_embedded
