Ol' Skool Come Back Or Stay In The Garage?

Remember hanging outside the youth centre when you were a kid? Remember your first kiss? Remember secondary school? Remember when you were a chav? Remember being beaten up by chavs? Well. If any of these thoughts ring a bell, then you'll remember these artists. If you had to choose which one of these ol' skool garage artists should come back, which ones would you choose and could they survive the current modern musicians out right now?

Na Na and The Architects: This trio had a massive number 1 hit with their track 'Body Groove' in 2000. After that they released a 2nd track called 'Show Me The Money'.

If in 2011 they decided to come back with a fresh sound, do you think they would be as big as they were 10years ago?

Sweet Female Attitude: It was double

trouble when these 2 got together and released 'Flowers', which reached number 2 in the charts in 2000. 'Flowers' became the 37th biggest selling single of that year. Their 2nd single '8 Days A Week' stalled at number 43 in the charts.

If the duo decided to come back and show Booty Luv some competition, would they dent the charts?

Craig David: The youngest male solo artist (he was 19 at the time) to ever have a number 1 in the UK charts with his 1st single 'Fill Me In'. His debut album, 'Born To Do It' sold more than 7million units world-wide. It seemed at the time this guy was destined to stay around for a long time. It went down hill some where between his 2nd album 'Slicker Than Your Average' and his final album 'Signed Sealed Delivered'.

Could he out sing Labrinth and Bluey Robinson if he was given the opportunity?

Shola Ama: The soulful singer got to number 4 with 'You Might Need Somebody' even though it weren't her first single. Her debut album 'Much Love' won her a Brit Award and 2 MOBO Awards. in 1999, Ama released her 2nd album 'In Return' which was branded as a 'commercial flop'.

Can Shola Ama be as soulful as she was if she came back with a hit? Or will she be branded as 'whack'?

So Solid Crew: The biggest urban musical collective to ever come out of the garage scene. With hits such as 'Oh No (Sentimental Things)', 'They Don't Know' and their number 1 hit '21 Seconds'. This crew knew how to create a hit after hit after hit. But their chart toppers was ended when they were always seen as negative. 'Broken Silence', which spoke out about government prejudice which they felt they had faced, was the last track they had released as a crew before pursuing their solo careers.

Could they come back and carry on from where they have left it? Or have their '21 Seconds' of fame ended?

Eddie Kadi VS Lethal Bizzle!

Comedian Eddie Kadi has come back with a remix to Lethal Bizzle's new hit.

Pounded Yam 2011 is probably better than POW 2011, in a funny sort of way..

Listen to it and let me know.

Dappy's All Grown!

If you missed Dappy's Christmas speech the first time, then here it is.

And people thought he couldn't use big words such as spectrum, perspective, horrified and NDubz.

Obviously we know this speech was not written by Dappy himself. But his done quiet well reading and or memorising it all. Shows that his not a kid any more.

Well done son.

Sergeant Smash Or Sergeant Flop?

The anticipated 2nd video from Talay Riley has arrived.

Talay Riley 1st stepped in the commercial music scene when he featured on Chipmunks 'Look For Me'. The artist has been around for a while quietly writing tracks such as 'Oopsy Daisy' for Chipmunk, 'Bad Girl' for Addictive Ladies and supposedly written a song for Justin Beiber. We might not of heard of him before but we've heard his music that's for sure.

'Humanoid' was his 1st single which was an absolute hit in my eyes (shame it didn't dent the charts). Now he has released his 2nd single and video 'Sergeant Smash'. The video is a very big let down. The track itself is good though. I don't think there was a story or any planning to this video. All I can say is I don't get it!'

Is it a smash or a flop? You decide.

Who's The Champion, Chippy Or Breezy?

When I heard about this collab between Chipmunk and Chris Brown, my first initial reaction was 'this could either be good or very bad'.

After Chipmunk supposedly walked out of his label, his music turned from bubble gum pop to fresh UK hip hop sounds. 'We Flying High' was the beginning of Chipmunk as an adult and ready to show his 'haters' what he can do (now that his got more money of course) and he did. The video for 'We Flying High' was/is an epic video.

Can a singer out-rap a rapper? In this case, the answer is 'YES'. The follow up track 'Champion', featuring the talented R&B star Chris Brown, tells people that no matter what hard times the pair may have gone through, they will remain 'Champions'. In this case, Chris Brown's verse had more depth and meaning than Chipmunk's verse. That shouldn't be the case. The track is featuring Chris Brown, so why does it sound like Chippy is the guest?

Us, the British audience, hype up any artist who does anything with a US artist. Why? It really isn't that hard to get a US artist on your track. Money speaks volumes in this industry. Skepta and Diddy worked together. That was hyped and the track 'Hello, Good Morning' grime remix wasn't even anything to get excited over. 'Champion' is another track that is very hyped. Yes Chipmunk has Chris Brown on it. And yes he actually got him to be in the video. So?

I don't look at artists as UK or US. If your music is good, then its good. I was 'gassed' over 'We Flying High' and Champion did let me down slightly. But I still have high hopes for Chipmunk though.

Check out the video and let me know your thoughts.

Lethal Bizzle's POW Video!

Wow, this is what Lethal Bizzle had in-store?

I thought the big hype would of been something better than this non-sense. Obviously the idea is from some sort of a movie like (dare I even compare) Takers, but its far from as glamorous as the movie.
They could of done it abit more tasteful. We know these guys are hood but come on, seriously?

Carly Cussen's is a phenomenal director and so I understand that she could only work with what she has been provided. Tough job but she did well.

Are we surprised that Wiley is missing from the video? If you are then walk off a short plank. If you don't know yet then get to know that Wiley does not really do bait video's where he knows that certain 'manz' are going to be at. There are people looking for this guy. Would of been great to have him in the video as I think that his verse is one of the best.

Any ways, you decide on what you think.

Watch the video below.

 

Rachel Adedeji - Follow's Beyonce!

My lovely girl Rachel Adedeji has been working very hard since she got booted off the X-Factor last year.

The 2009 finalist has ambitions to be compared to Beyonce in this photo shoot - but as a lookalike doesn't quite make the grade.

This gave me the most jokes...

Judge for yourselves. This is part 3 tho

Encore, Better Than JLS?

It is about time that we have a new all male group. I'm actually getting slightly over-whelmed with all these female singers and girl groups popping out of every corner.

We have had FDM (Fun*dmental '03), who were thought to do major things after signing a production deal with US singer Ne-Yo. Currently we are still waiting for the trio to drop something. The 'game' weren't going to wait for any body. There was bound to be a new group to fill up the gap that was empty.

It was only a matter of time before dubstep got super glossy and mainstream to the max. New boy band Encore have taken it on themselves to push the sound to 'Another Level'. Have they got what it takes to take on JLS? 

The track is actually really good. The beat is even better. Catchy bridge and an addictive chorus. I think these 'New Kids On The Block' might be the one's to look out for in 2011.

Check out their official 1st video entitled 'Wind Up' which is available to download February 13th.

Devlin And Carol Vorderman!

A short interview with Devlin shows that his not always serious.

Dude Diss's Skepta But Who Is He?

There's people that are going to come for you on tracks, but please people, when you're going to send for some one on a track, make sure there's substance to it. Make sure that what you are saying has ingredients and flavour. Don't feed the people some non-tasty air pie.

How is this fella sending for Skepta when he cant even talk properly let alone Mc/Rap?

'Google me?' Who does he think he is? Diddy? I can google my cat Oreo and he'll probably show up more than this foolishness.

Fugative Freestyle - Westwood 1Xtra

I remember when everyone was dissing this kid when he 1st came out. Now his touring whilst the one's that are still dissing are in their bedroom studio.

Have A Baby By Me Baby, Be My Soulja Boy!

It is actually worrying when you see a big man with a mask on, having his arm around a skinny fella. But to see a picture of 50cent and Soulja Boy actually posing in that situation is even more daunting. 

50cent standing very close to the kid from behind and Soulja holding his manhood? I don't know what their announcing on XXL but 'Camaaaaaar'n'.

Which is the girl in the relationship do you think? I know who I would put my money on!

Female Takeover?? The Video??

So the video has finally arrived. Did anyone actually expect there to be a video for the track in the 1st place?

Where to begin... 
Let me talk about the quality first. Now we all have seen the 0fficial Game Over video and how it was shot/filmed. This is no way in comparison to guys video. Understandably, the female artists don't obviously make near enough money as any of the guys do. But that still don't mean the video needs to look like it was filmed with an ol'skool Nokia N95. No dis-respect, but it was actually poor. Too much of switching scenes which can actually give you a head-ache.

If your dark skinned, shooting a black and white video, why would you have a black back drop?
Who ever thought to put Ruff Diamondz, dressed in black, standing in front of a black back drop was someone that does not see colour or remotely understand what works with girls of colour (we know one is fair skinned and another is white but poor Troy).

A.Dot, Lioness, Cherri V and even Blue all looked faded away in front of the 'Evil' black back drop. Only female that actually got lucky was Lady Leshurr. Bratt looked cute with her varsity jacket and her little belly top, but that still doesn't mean she's lyrically dope. Roxxxan looked good too.

The track is actually cool. I do think the video could of definitely been much better but then again that was not down to the female artists themselves. Maybe its time Grimedaily was treated to a new camcorder.

Let me know what you think!

Fe-nix Ladies Are BAAAAAAACCCKKK!

Fe-nix ladies are BACK. Ayshen, Jade, Tanya and Redd have been missing for a little while since the last track released 'Swagga'. But to no surprise, the 4 sexy ladies have been working hard on new music and shooting a new video for their new track titled 'Red Light'.
The Sin City video who was directed by Sam Evans, tells of a story of 4 women who are standing up to their wrong-doing boyfriends. The ex-boyfriend(s) is played by non-other than ex boy group member of Blue, Lee Ryan.
The track has an up-beat tempo and a catchy chorus that will get you hooked easily. These girls are no ordinary British girl group. Not only do they give you that pop/rnb feel to their music but they can actually dance better than The Saturdays and Girls Aloud put together (don't even get me started on the non-exististing Sugababes). You can tell that by the hip-hop break-down in the video.
The styling they have gone for is urban chic mixed with a 'don't mess with me' sexy vixen look. Black and red is their theme (for details on the styling, contact Simone Karma Rae on www.complexsimplicitylondon.co.uk).

Cherri Flavoured Beef!

'@cherriv: RT @CapriStar: Ladies, red hair does not suit everyone. Just look at Cherri V!»»Your ALWAYS hitting out at me I don't know WHAT your beef is'

Last night I made a comment about girls and red hair on my twitter page. Because Rihanna has dyed her hair red, many girls seem to think that it will suit them too. As an example I pointed out that singer Cherri V has red hair and to my opinion it does not suit her. To which of course this has started some sort of drama on twitter as you can see at the top. She has retweeted me and added a lil'something at the end.

Now let me explain something, I don't have anything what so ever against the woman. If I make an opinion about something, lets all remember I WONT be the 1st and last to do so ever. Previously, I have made a comment about the Female Takeover remix to Tinchy Stryder's Game Over on my blog on the 10th November 2010 (scroll down to the bottom). My comment was 'The hook? The track did not need no chorus so why Cherri V thought she had to be on the track, lord knows.' Now at which part in that comment did I slate her singing ability or how does that come across I have 'BEEF' with the artist?

You are in an industry where MANY people will have an 'opinion' about your music down to the shape of your big toe. As an artist, you should take the opinions, evaluate it and turn it into a positive. Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Cheryl Cole and so on have been at the forefront of many opinions and so called hating. But their still at the top of their game because they do not come back with SHTOOPIDNESS.

Cherri V retaliated by 1. Retweeting the message so that her 'Stans, Fans & Beggits' had something to say about it. Which is absolutely fine. And, 2. Instead of sending me a message directly on twitter, she sent a 'Stan' a tweet and called me a 'PRAT'. people deal with situations differently and that's how she chose to deal with it.

So many people have said the same thing about the female artist. Ex-friends, industry heads and even fans... There's artists out there who have had #1 Hits and are successfully big in the game. 'Cherri V is not humble', 'She goes on like she's heavy'. These are just some the things that have been going around. Its nothing new that I've heard and until she sorts out that side of her characteristics/personality then it will always be a problem.

This is NOT a beef thing. I have strong opinions and these are my views on how I perceived yesterdays situation.

I hope the lady does take this and turn it into a positive (no doubt she will see this) and not affect her dreams.

Judged/Mis-Understood!

You thought you had me figured out when you saw my fitted down low, heard my slang and peeped my swagger,

You tried to banish me to the bottom because of what you saw on the outside and ignored what was or could be on the inside,

You lined your men up in the media and had them portray me as ruthless and savage,

For a while these were obsticles that my "people" could not seem to overcome but as time has progressed your ways of trickery and deciet have evolved into gas that would only ignite the flame within my soul,

Your ignorance and close-mindedness will no longer hinder my intelligence or drive but will only push me harder,

So please with all do continue to be negative and judge me by the color of my skin or the clothes I wear "because that which does not kill me can/will only make me stronger"

and im living proof!!

Gay Dude Obviously Hates Keri Hilson And Ciara!

Cher Lloyd With....?

Every year X-Factor finals have some BIG artist collaborate on stage with the finalists.

Who do you guys think will be on Stage with Cher Lloyd?

Long, Thick And Black!

She laid across the bed butt naked from the start.
Her knees were slightly bent and her thighs were spread apart. She recently had shaved and her pussy lips were bare. They were moist from her caress and free of any hair.
Feeling sexy and on fire Satin sheets beneath her back, she reached for something hard that was long, thick, and black.
She gripped it with both hands and slid in deep inside. Then moan to its long stroke as she took it for a ride.
Her body felt the surge from the lust of her black pet. The thrill was so intense
it made her soak and wet.
She broke into a frenzy for ecstasy was near. Her body heat was rising
and the sound of sex was clear.
She came so many times and swore each was the best.
Then she turned the dildo off and proceeded to get dress.
