"I know"

Scorcher, I think he's a new Grime MC, probably cosigned by Wretch 32- seems easy on the bars, but I see him goin somewheres cuz of the following track "I Know". Wit that fashionista, Skywalker, electro ish, it's plain to see why I'm feeling this. Watch out for this nigga. PEA(E.



PS. He looks like Ashraf- moooooooooob!

Chip-diddy-Chip!

Grime... sick. British rapper and alleged "Grime Saviour" Chipmunk is the ish and he proves it with this new release. Chip-diddy-Chip is a single I saw on Youtube a couple of weeks ago, but I thought it was oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold! Turns out, it's just out and burnin ish up. What happens here, basically is Chipmunk goes back to his old school and uniform and ties and all that. He's joined by a couple of other MCs doing cameos (Wretch32, Bashy, Ironik etc) and Westwood as his old Science teacher. It's pretty much a dope joint (no objection). I like Chipmunk, doesn't go over the top of the counter to be Gangster- "he's a swagga don". I'll probably be hooking you up with a couple of my favourite Grime tunes up on here in a couple. PEA(E.

The new Transformers trailer

The Sequel's coming to hit you soon- it's called REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. Sick. I know I said I would post something on the Oscars, but Slumdog Millionaire is all that was going on down there, so I decided to jump on some serious ish. The Transformers sequel is on the horizon and it looks mad crazy. From the preview, I can say it's pretty much the Decepticons coming back with harder punches- no gloves. It looks sick though, especially all the destruction that's going down in that spot ( thank God it isn't real life). So yeah, there goes. PEA(E.

Welcome to Heartbreak

Yeah... just the other day I posted bout Kid Cudi, now I'm posting bout his track with Kanye. Yeah "Welcome to Heartbreak" has been hailed as the best thing off 808's by I don't know how many people (like 4). I must admit that I didn't warm up to the song (initially), but now I think it's pretty dope. The video, I think, encapsulates(?) the album. It like puts the whole essence of 808's in a nutshell- the pixelation gets to me though, I find it to be rather disconcerting behaviour, but hey- that's just me. PEA(E

PS. I'll be posting somethin bout the Oscar's like tomorrow.

IntroducinG... Kid CuDi!

Yes, introducing... rum pa pa pum- Kid Cudi. This dude was also one of XXL's Freshmen 2K9. Yeah... I think 09 is gonna be like is year, like nobody (excluding myself and a couple of well read HipHop fans) knew this cat last year, but now- "Oh SNAP!", he's here like a Martian. Apart from gettin the XXL cover, he cosigned to Kanye's G.O.O.D Music label and released a video for his break out hit Day N Night (well, th remix of it).

Here's a vid done by Complex.com where they follow him around for a bit and watch him play video games- I'll be bloggin bout them in a minute... or three... they're a whole other story.



And here's that vid I told you about, it's topping Charts around the world and it's called Day N Night (Crooker's Remix)

The second poster for the fashion show.

Yeah, they liked it, but they said i should do another one (i guess so they could have more options), so I worked on this last night. Hope you dig it. Click on pic for larger image. PEA(E.

The second poster for the fashion show.

Get Up!

No, not "Fitty CENT"'s Get Up, no, this is so much better (I have issues with 50 cent and the fact that he calls his ish rap). This is Mary Mary's one. I'm not absolutely sure about its newness, but I know it's dope (the sound and those purple jeans look like 2009, just sayin). Mary Mary are like one of the few Gospel Music entities that doesn't remind you of old women in church" whoopin' an' hollerin' an' havin' a fits an' tawlkin' bout how Sister Betty done got pregnant outside the bed of matrimony". They do tracks that you dont just listen to on Sunday (which is why I posted this today). PEA(E. God Bless.

The Charity Fashion Show.

Aga Khan is holding a Charity Fashion Show some time in March and I am on my way to being contracted to do a couple of things (i hope. One of them is doin a poster for the event, so here is the basic idea as it is thus far. Y'all should endeavour to be there (20th March, from about 2). PEA(E. Tell me what you think of the poster as it is so far.

I Love College!

Well... not exactly, seeing as I've never been- but I dig this tune! Ah... sick! Asher Roth, for those of you that don't know, as I know most of you don't, is one of these new age hipster rappers. Hipster rap is the SH!T. So yeah, he's really underground ish, so the only credentials he has to his name thus far (that i know of) is being part of XXL's Freshmen Class of 2009. He kinda raps like Eminem on some joints, but I blame that on coincidence. So, yeah... PEA(E!

The Grammy(ie)s last weeK!

Yo, it just smacked me on the back of my head, when i was thinkin bout what to post for my distinguished guests this afternoon, that I had not posted ish on last Sunday's Grammy(ie)s. Ting is, as you and I know, the brawl that happened between Chris Brown and Rihanna and Rihanna and Chris Brown sort of engulfed the hearts and minds of the citizens of the Internet Republic. So, I happen to remember this one performance that was most frequently announced ahead of the circus. Here it is: Mr. West, the two Mr. Carters and Mr. .I, alongside the pregnant M.I.A in their Grammy Performance of Swagga Like Us.

Kanye on Big Boy's Neighbourhood

Kanye was hosted, some time ago, on Big Boy's Neigbourhood, a popular radio show (frequented by mostly African American folks) and for half the time, the brotha preached about Homosexuality.
Now, I dig Kanye's ish and I am one of those people that believes in reason and everybody being entitled to an opinion (like the First Amendment... i think). Here, Yeezy says the segregation of gay peoples is simmilar to what used to happen to Black folk way back when...
Yeah, that's right. Now, this is one of those controversial subjects, man. I regard this issue the same way I regard the Evolution Theory. The argument supporting Evolution makes sensible sense, yeah? But this is one of those issues that forces me to go against certain principles. Something somewhere within me tells me God made Adam and Adam got together with Eve and they birthed humanity. Even Evolution, for all it's worth, has been well supported, there is a barrier between what I hear and what i believe that will not come down for Evolution in this cse. NO WAY!
This is the same way I look at Homosexuality. Here, Kanye talks about Homophobia (phobia of Homos) and calls it being ignorant. I don't know, but I guess, as with evolution, I believe this just isn't correct, without reason. Dude, the Big Guy up in the clouds engineered ish so that guys and girls could complement each other. It just doesn't seem right that one nigga should 'enter' another nigga from behind- that's just wrong, man.
So, yeah. Everybody has the right to an opinion and I'm voicing mine. I'm getting this feeling we're going to have another Civil Rights Movement (for gay people), an MLK and a Malcolm X (all for gay people) and later on one of them (the MLK) will get himself a Nobel Prize. Maybe not, now, but in the near future.
He also doesn't comment on Chris Brown and Rihanna.

Chris Brown vs Rihanna... not again

Man, I've only posted this one time, but i don't want people to be coming to get the same info that they did over and over again from some source that we have in common. So this is probably goin to be a closed book for me- okay, I'll mark the page, this is my last post on this for a while. 

What that nigga did was crazy (there were even bite marks, wtf?). This wasn't the kind of thing where he happened to lash out and slap her and say "Ooh, I'm sorry baby, that was a superhuman reflex, I didn't know what I was doing,", WAH! He got on top of her and gave her an extreme makeover, right there. The cops say she was battered so bad, she couldn't open her eyes. Wow (not like awesome wow- just wow)! So now we hear she's going to get cosmetic surgery.

Cosmetic surgery reminds me of two things:

1) It's some dangerous ish! Donda West died, and now we hear Mrs. Usher Raymond is in bad ass shape.

2) Michael Jackson. Nuff said.

I also suspect that Ms. Fenty will, in about a year's time, take a film crew to Africa (you know: jungles, war, poverty, disease, corruption, dictators etc), make a documentary for MTV in which she is crying with other domestically violated black women and saying she would have never guessed. Well neither would I. 

Breezihanna gone wrong!

I'm back! Had to make a re- up... just had to. I feel like those neighbours that have binoculars  and spend their days using them on their neighbours for lugambo, again- just had to. Chris Brown and Rihanna, just as rappers were ready to start comparing themselves and that imaginary subject to " Chris and Rihanna", sh*t got ugly. Yeah... Rihanna got ugly too. You've probably already heard about it: Breezy murked Rihanna like he was Ali in Manila. 

Here is what you probably haven't heard. There's this pimp called: A Pimp named Slickback (the 'A Pimp named part inclusive'). Now, apart from being a lender of... yes-  that- or those, this dude also shares his advice with disgruntled males in even more disgruntled relationships. 

You can see where I am going with this, right?

Breezihanna turned out not to be so easy, what with the nagging and the arguing (all in that dangerously alluring accent). So Mr. Brown turned elsewhere for answers while everybody else was going to see a shrink, he got a few pointers from A Pimp Named Slickback. Below is one of A Pimp Named Slickback's generous endeavours. PEA(E!
