I WAS DOING SOME MORE SEARCHING AND FOUND THIS GROUP.......

MANDRE 3000!!!

Hmmm…I wonder where Andre Benjamin of Outkast came up with his alias, as Andre 3000. They were a Funk group which was signed to MOTOWN RECORDS. This album was released in 1979.

Bono embarrassed by his own songs!

U2 frontman Bono feels embarrassed listening to his own music because he can always hear ways to improve it.
The Irish rocker admits he is a perfectionist and hates hearing the band's classic hits because he believes the songs would be much better if he re-recorded them.
He says, "I wince because of either what I think is an unfinished lyric or a vocal moment I don't like."

I HEAR WHAT BONO IS SAYING, WHEN I FINISH A TRACK I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE OR WISH I COULD HAVE CHANGED CERTAIN PARTS.
THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULDN'T TRY TOO HARD ON MAKING A SONG SOUND PERFECT, OTHERWISE YOU'LL NEVER FINISH IT.

A SONG IS NEVER COMPLETE!

Old School Friday! Real Hip Hop at it's finest.

The is true Hip Hop at it's finest- This is too much for me....When I hear this, I just zone out.

HAVE YOU GOT A LIGHTER????

I COULD DO WITH A CIGARETTE, AND I DON'T EVEN SMOKE!

TO BE HONEST, I AM TRULY FED UP WITH PROMOTERS NOT GETTING THE PA SYSTEM RIGHT.
RECENT SHOWS I HAVE DONE, THE P.A SYSTEMS HAS BEEN REALLY BAD.
IT’S ALMOST LIKE THERE THINKING, OK….LETS GET A COUPLE ARTIST ON THE BILL, ALL THEY NEED IS A MIC AND SOME SPEAKERS AND THEY’LL BE OK.
NO, NO, NO! WE NEED A GOOD MIC AND A NICE PA SYSTEM. DO YOU KNOW HOW DISHEARTENING IT IS WHEN YOU PERFORM IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE AND JUST OVERDOING THE STAGE THING BECAUSE THEY CAN’T HEAR YOU THROUGH A BAD MIC.? I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO OVER HYPE AS I HAVE TO COMPENSATE FOR THEM NOT HEARING ME.
I KNOW I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL AS GETTING SHOWS ARE HARD NOWADAYS, BUT IT’S GETTING TO A POINT WHERE I GET VEX IF THE PROMOTERS ISN'T HANDLING BUSINESS. IT’S YOUR JOB!
IT’S THE WORST FEELING WHEN YOU HAVE TO PERFORM LIKE THIS, IV’E DONE TOO MANY SHOWS LIKE THIS AS I HAVE BEEN EAGER. BUT THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH I CAN TAKE!
I DON’T CARE IF YOU TAKE OFFENCE…..I’M JUST REALLY PISSED OFF.
I’D BE REHEARSING DAYS BEFORE, GETTING THE MIX RIGHT, SPENDING A LOT OF
TIME MAKING SURE THAT MY PART IS ON POINT.
IF I TURN UP TO A SOUND CHECK AND THE SOUND IS NOT RIGHT, I AM NOT DOING IT!

THIS IS NOT NO DIVA TALK, THIS IS REAL TALK

Kid Cudi-Day N Nite Vid!

Like the video, very creative...not sure if it goes with the song though

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO........

PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A portion of Fish & Chips mate!

I didn't know they were going to be bringing out a new range of Walker crisps.

I was curious...so I tried the Fish & Chips Flavour-the packing was nice!

But damn! they really do taste like Fish & Chips.

They also have Chili and Chocolate, crazy right? I wonder who thought of that?? probably a pregnant woman going through the cravings lol.....aah I make myself laugh.

WoW!

Well done to Duffy on winning 3 Brit awards...but boy!......I can't believe how it's on every news paper (Front cover) and all over the news.

JADAKISS DROPS NEW MIXTAPE!!!

Jadakiss and Green Lantern return for another mixtape together, this time promoting Jada’s upcoming studio album “The Last Kiss.” The first mixtape they did together (The Champ Is Here) got rave reviews and this one holds up to that bar. The mixtape features new music from Jadakiss that will be featured on his album, as well as a whole bunch of Green Lantern remixes, some freestyles and some cuts that didn’t make “The Last Kiss.” Green Lantern does a good job on the tape and he keeps his drops at a low volume, which is much appreciated.

Loose Women!

As I have bad sleeping patterns...wacthing TV seems like the only thing that gets me off to sleep.

But I never realised how good 'Loose Women'.

My Friend always goes on about the show and I'm always like 'Whatever'...but it is actually really good.

Of course, I'm unable to catch it in the afternoon as I'm at work but then it comes on again at 2am.

There are some really good topics that they talk about, and they are so real.

So if your ever up at 2am and unable to sleep...tune in to Loose Women on ITV.

Who is to blame?

At the age of 13 all I remember doing is running up and down play fighting, sex wasn't even on my mind.
But who is to blame in this situation? the parents, schools?
I personally think teachings about sex education should start in the home, It shouldn't be just left down to the schools even though I do think it is necessary. But then again some parents are not so quick on having the 'Birds and Bee's' talk with their children so by then, it could be too late.
I know it's hard to keep a tab on everything kids do, but Boy!!!! you telling me the parents didn't suspect something?

Should sex education be taught to kids from the age of 7??? sounds crazy right, it's way too young...but at the rate that things are going...it's sad to say but it may be necessary as we may start to see parents of younger ages.


What is this world coming to?

Mr Hendrix!

Again, I was having another one of those sleepless nights so I decided to pop in a Jimi Hendrix tribute DVD.

The man was truly way ahead of his time....he was a monster whilst playing his guitar. There was a lot of things I didn't know about him, even though he was American.....he established himself over here in the UK. He was also very conscience about the way he looked.

He was all about his guitar, he would fall asleep whilst playing his guitar.....then get up and be right back on it. Now that's dedication right there!!!!

Try and look up this DVD....'A rockumentary profile of a true music original'......most definitely a good one.

Thank You Sir!

YO!!!!!!

I WENT TO J'DILLA CHANGED MY LIFE EVENT .....FLIPPING....FLIPPING INSPIRING!!

SO INSPIRING....I WANT TO THANK YOU DILLA FOR TEACHING ME NOT TO BE AFRAID TO RELY ON MY NATURAL RHYTHM FOR MAKING MUSIC.

OK, OK, OK,OK

Ok, the camera won't be that big!

Management have been telling me for a longtime that it would be good to post some video blogs of me ...aah!!!! everybody is on that...isn't what I post enough?????

OK, ok, I'm going to be uploading some footage of me soon, me in the studio and all that.

But you wanna know why I'm not too keen on the whole idea???? I know it's gonna be one of those things where I'm going to get addicted to it lol! I'm talking posting videos of me shopping, eating, thinking???, just dumb stupid stuff.

Soon come!

J.Period & Q-Tip: The [Abstract] Best

J.Period doesn’t release mixtapes that frequently, so you already know when he does, he puts a lot of time and work into each one making sure to bring you high quality product. This new one is a sort of a Q-Tip “Best Of” mixtape. J.Period brings together classic tracks, new tracks and exclusive J.Period remixes. As an added bonus, there are also brand new “tribute” songs from De La Soul, KiD CuDi, Blu, ?uestlove, Talib Kweli, Skillz & Consequence. This mixtape has gained a lot of promotional buzz recently with the leaks of a few songs. J.Period is also hard at work on the second volume which is supposed to be releasing quite soon. J.Period is one of the best when it comes to “best of” mixtapes, that are more like mini-albums. They are definitely collectors items. Search the site for the Roots mixtape he did, equally dope.

Vans Vault “Peacoat” Chukka

These are a must have for Winter 2009'

We just finished featuring the Vans Chukka - Striped Pack and here we feature some more colorways in the popular model. Although it’s only about to be Spring, they already have plans in motion for their Winter 2009 collection, which will feature Peacoat Editions and will come in three colorways including navy, black, and grey. The Peacoat look gives the shoe a classy, sophisticated look, as they are constructed from wool uppers. via Marcus Troy.

Vans of the day 10!

Vans Owens Hi LS

These are flipping Crazy!!!!!!!

Vans will be releasing a new skate model whose inspiration undoubtedly stemmed from classic Air Jordan models of the past, similar to the Supra Cruizer.

The Vans Owens Hi model is reminiscent of the Air Jordan V but also reveals red ridges on the heel similar to the Air Jordan II’s. Apart from the Jordan elements, the shoe is made original by way of a quilted pattern shown around the ankle and white crocodile skin material added to several other of the shoe’s panels. Via Grip.

Anita Baker...looking fabolous as ever!
