THROW BACK (UNCOMFORTABLE) INTERVIEW OF THE DAY – TIM WESTWOOD INTERVIEWS CRAIG DAVID AND DJ SPOONY

January 14, 2011

I have always found BBC Radio personality / Hip Hop DJ Tim “Big Dawg” Westwood funny, while others have accused him of being just damn right rude at times.  But after watching this throwback interview from late 2008 where Westwood interviewed singer Craig David and fellow radio personality DJ Spoony, I now see exactly what they mean. There seemed to be a lot of animosity in the air. Craig looks visibly uncomfortable, Spoony is trying his hardest to remain professional, and when Westwood drags Reggae DJ Chris Goldfinger in to the mix […]

VIDEO: 90S GIRL GROUP XSCAPE BEFORE JERMAINE DUPRI, HIT RECORDS, DRAMA AND T.I.

January 12, 2011

While lurking over at The Lala Report I came across old footage of hit 90s R&B girl group Xscape performing on the brilliant BET show Teen Summit (sadly no longer with us).  Judging by the fashion and hairstyles I’m guessing that this was filmed in either 1990 or 1991. Check out Kandi Burruss, LaTocha Scott, Tamika Scott, and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris before they hit the big time, and before rapper T.I turned Tiny fool.

UK MUSIC: JLS FT TINIE TEMPEH – EYES WIDE SHUT

January 8, 2011

JLS are back with the new single Eyes Wide Shut featuring the man of the moment Tinie Tempeh. Believe it or not I really like this track, but don’t understand why they felt the need to feature Tinie. Eyes Wide Shut could have done without the rapping. But because Tinie is the “man of the moment” I’m guessing that he has just been included for the sake of it. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

December 30, 2010

Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss? Universal Music has restricted some sites from featuring their music videos, and it looks like Mad News is on that black list. Why this site has been picked on and other’s can still feature their videos I don’t know. Anyway whatever Universal, I’m not begging you anything. Hahahahahahaha! Click on Play and then the link provided which will take you directly to YouTube to view the video.
