Have UK rappers been sipping on Jay-Z juice? This is Tinchy Stryder’s new track Gangsta? and once again we have another rapper who wants to be the ‘Jigga Man’. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs recently unveiled the “new Bad Boy family” and the only artist on today’s Bad Boy roster that’s worth a bean is the talented/beautiful Janelle Monae. It’s all so fake….. Can somebody please tell me why Cassie is still signed? Actually ignore that question… I know why.
Rapper Sway’s new single featuring Donae’O Pop A Bottle is your typical “urban” mainstream track designed to infiltrate the UK single chart. It will sell. Donae’O sings he wants a “Coca Cola bottle shape”. Singing about wanting a woman with a Coca Cola bottle shape is so Reggae/Dancehall circa ‘1992’. The video – Well it’s not particularly original. Woman dancing in a nightclub, champagne and silhouette shots. Yeah seen it all before. Pop A Bottle will be released July 12th on iTunes. […]
Check out 16-year-old singer, rapper and producer Lil Simz (real name Simbi Ajikawo) debut single Fall To The Floor. I wasn’t expecting to like this at all, but the track is really catchy, with an old skool vibe running through it. I can also see the youngsters really going for this and embracing her. Lil Simz here could have a mainstream hit on her hands. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss? *Am I the only one who thinks she sounds like a […]
R&B singer Ginuwine is back with the new single Touch Me. The track sounds dated (mid-90s vibe) but it isn’t bad. However the video, directed by Rik Cordero is TERRIBLE!!!! By the looks of things the budget for this video did not exceed $50.00 And what is going on with Ginuwine’s hair? Is he using the same product Jermaine Jackson uses to slick down his own hair? Oh dear…. [Thanks Brown Eyez/Social Writer Blog] Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
I announced on Mad News earlier this year that British actor Aml Ameen (Kidulthood and The Bill) had bagged a role in the new US drama Harry’s Law. Now check out the preview below. I follow a few British actors/entertainers on Twitter and any day now their huge heads will explode in to a thousand pieces. A little success and an avalanche of compliments received via Twitter, and they turn fool. But I don’t get that big-headed vibe from Aml. This is […]
When I first posted Woman’s World on the site several months ago I said that I liked it, and still do. However I still think that they could have done without the guest rapper on the track. There are songs out there that don’t require a rapper to spit bars. This is one of them. But regardless I think the song will be a hit. The video – They all look beautiful standing in front of the black background, but the other […]
Singer Lloyd (I forgot all about him) has teamed up with recently released convicted sex offender / rapper Mystikal on his new single Set Me Free. Good luck Lloyd. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
Pocket TV’s Matt Edmondson interviews “equal opportunities employer” and the nations “Mr Cool” Taio Cruz. Matt is hilarious. Taio should have left the Superdrug sunglasses at home.
When I first got word that Drake was flying down to Kingston Jamaica to film the video for Find Your Love I said, I bet the over-rated singer/rapper and crew members visit one of Kingston’s notorious Garrisons (Ghettos), and film “sweet boy” Drake surrounded by poverty and zinc housing. It was obvious to me that they were going to go down this predictable route, and portray Jamaicans as being nothing more than heavy weed smoking, sweaty, gun-toting murderers, who reside in some […]
