QUOTE OF THE DAY: JOE BUDDEN

“I was amazed, more than anything. I have a hard time talkin, to people about music that are just that ignorant or that disrespectful . He said that, and I think he was real serious about it. It’s one of those things that people say when they have an album out or a single that’s poppin’ and they get money”. ( Joe remembers the time when “rapper”/one hit wonder J-Kwon told him that he didn’t like Wu-Tang  star Raekwon because he stole []

MUST HAVE OF THE DAY: PZI JEANS

A couple of months back I came across pictures of Beyonce and a few other black female celebrities, who were all wearing a stylish brand of fitted jeans that really complemented their curves. I remember thinking at the time ‘where can I get a pair of those jeans?’ because I know they are not sold here in the UK.   Anyway I now have my answer! Atlanta based company Perazzi Apparel are the creators of PZI Jeans, designed to fit the woman who has a streamlined waist, fuller hips, and a curvy bottom. Check out models []

VIDEO: CHRIS ROCK ON 106 & PARK

This is funny in so many different ways. Chris taking shots at BET, 106 & Park and southern rappers, the continuous cheering and clapping (for no reason), the girls standing behind Chris (especially the one wearing an afro)… Hilarious… …

UK HIP HOP FLASH BACKS: BETTY BOO / DEREK B / 808 STATE FT MC TUNES

Betty Boo – ‘Doin The Do’ ( Circa 1990) Betty Boo (real name Alison Clarkson) started her career with late 80s Hip Hop group The She Rockers. She then became a moderately successful solo act in the early 90s and released numerous singles that reached the Top Ten in the UK chart. I remember at the height of her fame Betty said that she was once a fan of Salt ‘n’ Pepa, but went off them when they became mainstream and effectively sold out. This in my opinion was []

TIME OUT MAGAZINE – JAY-Z

[Thank STR8NYC.COM] Jay appears on the front cover of Time Out Magazine’s 40th anniversary collector’s issue.  If you wish to read more about this “fabulous” issue/see more pics then head over to str8nyc.com. I’m too focused on this mess. Bwoy those photographers love to over use that ZOOM  lens when it comes to Jay. And why does he look like a startled moose wearing shades? Jay isn’t an ugly man, he just isn’t very photogenic.

UK HIP HOP FLASH BACK: THE WEE PAPA GIRL RAPPERS – ‘WE RULE’/’HEAT IT UP’

What can I say about siblings The Wee Papa Girl Rappers….   They were the poor man’s Salt ‘n’ Pepa UK style.  They were MAINSTREAM!!!!! I wasn’t a fan at all! But they did manage to walk away with two top ten hit singles under their belts back in the late 80s, and if my memory serves me correctly their debut album didn’t do too badly either…… ‘We Rule’ Circa 1988  ‘Heat It Up’ Circa 1988 I wonder where they are now……
