This photograph shocked me. I didn’t believe that this was Curtis Jackson (aka old Fiddy) at first. Wow…. Via PunchBowl Blog I know he’s lost all the weight for a film role, but it’s still damn right foolish and reckless.
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.

South African Siphiwo Ntshebe, 34, had been chosen by President Mandela to perform at the World Cup opening ceremony, with his signature anthem entitled Hope. The track even features President Mandela speaking, which is the first time he has lent his voice to a record. Continue Reading….. This is so sad. Rest In […]
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. […]
This brought on tears of laughter last night. Those of you familiar with British “actor” (and I use the term loosely) Danny Dyer will like me find this absolutely hilarious. For those of you out there who aren’t so familiar with Danny Dyer, he hails from London, has been acting for YEARS (since he was a child), plays the same character in every film (cockney rogue) and over exaggerates his off-screen persona by over doing it with the East-End ‘wide boy’ swagger and cockney slang/accent. Danny recently threatened […]
Last Friday I tuned in to Tonight With Jonathan Ross and watched rapper Tinie Tempah perform with the Gorillaz. What I witnessed stunned me! Tinie had turned in to Jay-Z and stole Jay’s stage persona for the evening. It was actually embarrassing to watch. At one point I kept thinking is Tinie joking? Is he doing this deliberately? I understand that a lot of UK rappers look up to Jay and cite him as being a major influence, but this was just […]
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 […]

Former Destiny’s Child group member Farrah Franklin (remember her?), who along with Michelle Williams replaced Letoya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson back in 2000, has revealed to Vibe that she would be open to reuniting with her former group members. Apparently there has been talk of a Destiny’s Child reunion which I missed. Anyway Farrah said, “Right now, I’m kind of hearing about it with everyone else. It hasn’t been presented to me yet. When it does or if it does, I’ll deal […]
