Yes that’s right folks MC Hammer is officially “beefing” with Jay-Z. *Huge sigh* This is in response to Jay-Z, after he made reference to Hammer losing all his millions back in the day on the track So Appalled. Is Hammer still a preacher? Terrible! Your thoughts please….
Check out the debut single Glowing from up and coming rapper Realz aka Rlz featuring So Solid star / actor Ashley Walters. The video was shot on location in Capetown, South Africa and is Ashley’s directorial debut. How old is Realz? He looks like he’s no more than fourteen years old. Anyway I really like this track. The beat is infectious and I think it will go down well in the clubs. Glowing gets the Mad News seal of approval. I just […]
UK rappers Giggs and Tinchy Stryder have bulked up their current accounts after appearing in the new PS3 commercial, alongside Sugababes group member Amelle Berrabah. Check out the commercial below.

Blogger Miss Lala reports that Akon has signed a new artist called Jeffree Star. The singer/producer describes his new signing as “a male Lady Gaga”, while Jeffree describes himself as “the princess of Konvict Muzik”. Click HERE to listen to what Akon has to say about his new artist. Check out Jeffree’s debut single/video below. Jeffree looks like he should be performing at some cheesy drag event in a Soho nightclub. His image/sound (judging by the first single) at this point in time just isn’t polished enough. But it will be interesting to see how well he […]

But the freestyle has now prompted fellow blogger Brown Eyez to ask the question – Petition – Should Harvey Stop MCing?” Should Harvey stop rapping and seek modelling work instead? Visit Brown Eyez’s blog to cast your vote. I have to agree with Brown Eyez, his flow does sound quite dated. Very late 90s/early noughties. But perhaps that was done intentionally.
Industry folk raved about Kanye West’s Runaway film short, after it premiered at a private screening (with Kanye in attendance) in London last month. Runaway is now available to watch in its entirety online. It opens with rapper Nicki Minaj butchering the English accent. She needs to be muzzled. Then a woman falls from the sky dressed as a bird and Kanye rescues her. Then it just goes on and on and on…. In my opinion Runaway is exactly what you would […]

This President Barack Obama parody has killed me tonight. I tried my hardest not to laugh, but the comedian playing the Pres and the actresses drafted in to play Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey are just too much. This is so wrong! WARNING: IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED THEN PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON PLAY. *EXTREME PROFANITY*
