500 SHOW UP FOR BUSTA RHYMES SHOW IN SOUTH AFRICA

December 2, 2009

Rumour has it that rapper Busta Rhymes is in dire financial straits and will perform at any event that will have him. I was a huge Busta fan. I loved the fun, wild and animated Busta. But when he signed to Aftermath / teamed up with 50 Cent, cut off his hair, bulked up and began to favour a bull frog, became vicious, changed his style of music and went from being a leader to becoming a follower, his career just went downhill. And now this…. Via Rhymes With Snitch 500 ain’t bad if […]

UK MUSIC: BIG NARSTIE – ‘SHOTTA’

December 1, 2009

So this is Big Narstie… Hmmmmm… I keep hearing the name but never bothered to check out his music until now.

NEW MUSIC: R.KELLY FT TYRESE, ROBIN THICKE & THE DREAM – ‘PREGNANT’

December 1, 2009

‘Pregnant’ is taken from R.Kelly’s new album ‘Untitled’ which dropped today. This is a typical Robert Kelly track. Sex, the club, his crew, and the woman he desires. Standard fare! But I really like it. I’m sorry but I do! However I don’t understand why he felt the need to include The Dream on this track. That man should be banned from singing and should just stick to producing. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

Anyway check out “equal opportunities employer” Taio Cruz’s interview with I’m guessing a 1Xtra radio personality. I’m sorry I’ve never seen this guy before and I don’t tune in […]
