Today I watched new afternoon BBC2 show No Hats No Trainers, and rapper Skepta was a main feature on the show. He is an attractive man. I hadn’t really paid that much attention to him before, but that all changed today! Anyway check out Skepta’s latest single Rescue Me which actually sounds pretty good. It also has that mainstream appeal, and will probably go on to become his first UK number 1 single. The video – Is he supposed to be in […]

Several weeks ago it was unofficially announced that “rappers” Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross would now be managed by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Once the news blew up online hysterical laughter could be heard across the globe. Diddy managing Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross??? HA HA HA HA! In response to this news one visitor posted the following comment on an online forum, “Diddy couldn’t manage a cat litter box” Anyway I believe that the rumours were true, that he was actually going […]

Introducing Midnite and D Nicks, who together make MDX, a talented new music act coming out of the UK. Their new single Slippin is from the production duo and record label, Lunakidz, who are set to make a big impact on the UK music scene Slippin is released on May 24th. I like this track. Decent production and duo MDX have potential. I see Slippin going on to get air play on BBC 1xtra / BBC Radio 1 and eventually entering the […]

I thought Beyonce was taking a 6 month break away from the limelight?? 6 months hasn’t passed yet! Kelly Rowland has just dropped her new single Commander and now Beyonce comes out of nowhere with this. Coincidence? The Knowles clan just refuse to let Kelly shine. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

Tyra Banks thought it would be HILARIOUS to play a prank on her studio audience and pretends to have rabies in the footage below. I just cringed while watching this. It’s not a funny prank and she just looks ridiculous. Spotted @ The Punch Bowl Blog Stupid.

Christina Aguilera is back with the new single Not Myself Tonight and it’s okay. They will play it in clubs across Europe. The video: Only one word can describe this video – DESPERATE. Did Madonna’s 1996 video for Human Nature inspire this mess? See for yourselves! Everyone seems to be stealing from Madonna and Grace Jones these days. Anyway Hype Williams apparently directed the video. If true then Hype’s creative juices dried up and turned to dust in the early noughties. Nicki […]

Mad News has been threatened with legal action. This threat comes from rapper Wiley’s management team who in APRIL 2010 requested that I remove a blog posted way back in 2008. The story reported that Wiley had fallen out with his management in spectacular fashion. In 2008 Wiley made a point of posting his thoughts on the RWD website, detailing the situation with his manager. HE put it out there in to the public domain that he was unhappy. But in 2010 I […]

Toni Braxton’s new single Yesterday will be released here in the UK on May 3rd, and her album Pulse will drop on May 10th. The single in my opinion sounds lacklustre. Toni’s other track Hands Tied is well produced and is a hundred times better than this. Yesterday (in parts) also sounds like Beyonce’s Halo. The video – It looks like it was hastily put together. Toni should fire her make-up artist, and it doesn’t look like much thought went in to […]
