Choosy Tuesday

We speak in slang like THIS!

This song has come around at the right time. I speak slang and I'm flippin proud of it. Gonna play this song out loud on repeat blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad



Why do they always have to make people breakdance in dancing scenes? Can't they have man gunfinger skankin'? Hoods up, caps down, couple dogs, A9 tracksuits... ring any bells? Yeah, good old Channel U days.



I never wrote about it at the time so I'm touching on it now. This Lindsey Johns dude that linked slang to gang needs to find the M25 and play chicken with the cars for an hour in the rain (disclaimer: that isn't me hoping you die, I'm suggesting you find something better to do with your time. I hear car dodging is popular amongst thrill-seekers). And why do people go on like black people brought slang to London like Cockney hasn't been around for... like... ever? Swear Shakespeare didn't write correctly. And slang is just a way to express yourself. Look how many slang words have become standard English. Stop hatin', start appreciating.

"It's a good job Emma didn't live in the late 16th Century/ early 17th Century. There was a guy running around back then who didnt use language as his peers did, he made up words, changed the structure of how he used these new made up words and flouted the conventional thinking on most aspects of English. He was called William Shakespeare... Language is not a set of rules, its a way of communication. The one constant thing with a thriving language is change."

According to Martin , Guildford [source]

I would think he was playing devil's advocate because the quotes don't support his argument and it's a good way to engage, but his other articles prove otherwise, this "Shadeism" one in particular.

Random Tune of the Day/ Real Badman Never Afraid: Rod Stewart 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy'

Real Badman Never Afraid = I'm a badman so I can tell you I like this song.

Roddy went in with this. The string section goes hard! And he croons all over it. Classic.



New Video: Jesie J 'Do It Like A Dude'

Still not hunnid percent sold on the song. Think with alterating the lyrics a bit it will work better in America. Video is impressive though



Kandi speaks on writing No Scrubs and Bills, Bills, Bills

Jacked from PinBoard. Regulars may recall me blogging about Kandi's songwriting the other day.

I raised a question: "Just thinking without Kandi, would Beyoncé have been female-empowerment, independent woman Beyoncé? I've never listened to Destiny's Child's debut album in its entirety, so I couldn't tell you the theme of it. Going by the singles on it and The Writings On The Wall (stone cold classic), there was a difference. Kandi wrote No Scrubs, then DC got involved?"

Don't get all vex because I'm questioning Queen B, I'm just asking.

Anyway, here is Kandi



My 5 year old son is gay

A mother wrote a blog after her son decided to dress up for Hallowe'en as...



I saw this being debated on the news this morning. I actually haven't got an opinion on this. Not as opinionated as you may have thought. Music, yeah. Youth culture, to a certain extent. Politics and (most) things political? Drop me out.

Check out the concerned mummy blogger's account of that day here. If you anonymous one wanna leave a comment about this, please feel free.

Finally, this is one cool baby

Baby Bob Marley

Jacked from @DivaNikkiZ As I stood amongst thousands of people from different walks of life awaiting the arrival of reggae singer Tarrus Riley at o2's Your Country event I tweeted "Reggae is the original unite the raver music" whilst joining in with everyone saluting big tune after big tune by David Rodigan (why hasn't he been knighted?). Should have said "Unite the skanker" for the Rudeboys and Skinheads that both rocked out to the same music back in the 80s.

Anyway, check what reggae does to the baby



Sick! I'm using that

50 Cent premieres Rick Ross Baby Mother Sex Tape

If you aren't familiar with the beef between Pimpin Curly and Officer Ricky, get familyar! Originates from Rick Ross dissin 50 on The Inkredibles produced banger Mafia Music. "We're steppin on your crew 'til the motherfucker's crushed And making sweet love to every woman that you lust I love to pay her bills, cant wait to pay her rent Curtis Jackson baby mother aint askin for a cent Burn the house down, you gotta buy another..." Fifty responded with a (lame) diss to which Rick Ross issued a 24hour deadline to make another. Fif' declared war, telling Ricky he's going to end his career Fiddy's first step was to interview Ricky's first baby moms, Tia, talking slick about Ricky being broke, which was later backed up by a financial affadavit released by Fif'. Took her and her bestie shopping for mink coats. Second was going to head of Def Jam South DJ "We The Best" Khaled's mum's house and place of work. Why? Fif' claims Kh...

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

White band win Reggae Grammy x Koffee x Skillibeng

So a white American reggae band called Soja won the Best Reggae album award at the Grammy's? And you care because? You feel Jamaicans are losing reggae because the Grammy's (a white institution) gave their white American man award to a white American reggae band? You blame the Jamaican government for not showing enough love and support to the music because this is the result? But you don't realise you are giving the Grammy's that much power and don't see where the problem lies? Well let me tell you; the problem is within you. I understand the outrage. Jamaicans built the music and are rarely compensated for all the hard graft. There have been countless examples of the music being used by someone else, often to better results because we live in an ignorant and racist Western world. Historically, white reggae artists like The Police or UB40 are able to achieve better results in the white man's world than reggae artists that are far superior to them. Bruno Mars , J...
