Check out the new single Girl Talk from rapper Ikes featuring Scorcher and Jermaine Riley. …. Girl Talk is your usual UK fare. A “seductive” track made for the ladies with a guy singing the hook and a touch of auto-tuning. It’s not my cup of tea at all. It just lacks something. But the 12-16 year old demographic will probably love it. The Video – A mix of different ideas and style straight from mid 90s-early noughties US rap videos. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

This is just so embarrassing and the look on Slash’s bodyguard’s face – PRICELESS!!!! … I heard that afterwards the furious store owner asked the film crew to leave […]

With the UK Urban scene slowly taking over, who is leading the way and making the biggest power moves? The debaters discussed who did it big in 2011. ……. My thoughts on a few of the ‘power movers’ mentioned…. When I first saw Lethal B promoting his ‘DENCH’ T-shirts alongside Arsenal star Emmanuel Frimpong I thought to myself ‘what FOOLISHNESS is this?’. Then several months later Emmanuel promoted his ‘DENCH’ T-shirt for all the world to see after a match which is against […]

…. If these are considered the “best” lyric’s spat in 2011 by various UK artists then I dread to think what the worst lyrics were. To those who pay close attention to the UK “URBAN” scene were these really the best lyrics of 2011??? Your thoughts please….
