Welcome Home



Check out T Mobile's latest long-length commercial.... taking from the theme of the Flash Mob commercial, this ad features a variety of commuters at London's Heathrow Airport performing an acapella medley of different songs that suit the different passengers that arrive to the airport. Check it out it's quite funny.
Here are some behind the scenes footage from ordinary passengers who were also quite baffled...
 

and if you have not seen the original silent dance commercial check it out below...



O yeaaah, that just reminded me of a time when us teenagers decided to do our own version of the T Mobile flash mob silent dance ! This was one of the best times of my life ! Approximately 500 of us all ran around the city of London causing mayhem and dancing to the sounds of Digital Dan's speakerbox.... Peep the mad footage below...

Adam Kimmel High Top Sneakers for Spring 2011


From Adam Kimmel's first sneaker line, these designs were inspired from Snoop Dogg  & LA street style, the designer also went on to say "These are my own refined version of a classic basketball shoe,’ said Adam Kimmel of his first line of sneakers. The shoes, made in Italy, are part of the designers Spring Summer 2011 collection, which was inspired by Snoop-Dogg and LA street style." Although, this is quite a basic silhouette, I'm pretty much a sucker for a clean pair of high tops so I'm bound to like em lol.

GoodHood X R.Newbold Fall/Winter 2010

Never Say Never



MTV are realllyyyyy capitalizing on Justin Bieber's global fame. Check out the trailer for his upcoming movie 'Never Say Never'. Judging from the trailer, I'm guessing this will be a diary of his rise to fame and how he is currently coping with this.... Now MTV could've did a documentary but nooooo they realise this kid's fan base is soooo immense that a movie would be more lucrative...... Dare I say it, if he is as consistent as everything seems then he could develop himself to be the next M.J.............. or can't I say that ?

Music Video: Diddy-Dirty Money - Lovin' You No More Feat. Drake

Also, Peep 'Check It Out Ft. Will.I.Am' Love the visuals on this video.....

Bugatti Boyz in The Building


Check out the Bugatti Boyz (Diddy and Rick Ross) collective latest joint, 'Fountain Blue'. I'm feeeling this joint, from these two. Looks like they're really working this duo act sorta like Ye and Jigga. 


Mr. West

Check out one of the five album covers for Kanye's upcoming album 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' created by George Condo. This artwork is a depiction from the 'Runaway' cover in which a real ballerina was used.

Kanye also came to shed light in a recent interview regarding the 'Runaway' short movie. The film was inspired by films such as Star Wars to the works of  Italian director Federico Fellini. 



He also stated "I've always wanted to do a long-form [film] for the albums," he explained. "I've always felt like there are so many songs that didn't get visuals that deserved videos...and at the same time, I'm a storyteller, so it was great to have on through line...visually, the things I was impacted by were Star Wars and the juxtaposi[tion] of the Jim Henson-George Lucas in-camera vibe...and a [Federico] Fellini, [Stanley] Kubrick taste-level and Parisian style...I think people are going to [the film]. I think pop culture tries to force-feed a dumbed-down version of everything...people are not as basic as the media tries to make them out to be. No one's that basic."


The 45 minute movie will will accompany the CD. 

Introducing Nuria Afonso...


Today, I have the pleasure of introducing a very cool friend of mine, Nuria Afonso. A singer hailing from East London and at the age of 17, she's been working hard to perfect her craft in music. She recently dropped a hot remix for Mr. West's 'Runaway' and I felt y'all should hear it.

Peep it below....

Music Video: Willow Smith - Whip My Hair



The video we've all been waiting for from the 'Smith Empire'..... Check it out !

Banned In The U.S.A


No specific word on why the proposed album cover for Kanye West's 'My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy' was banned in the U.S.A. for release but I'm guessing it's the potential sexual content in the artwork. It looks pretty cool, and I can see Kanye is bringing back ART to music in all he does. At least we get to view the cover on the net so the efforts did not go to waste.

It's about time, Kanye dropped this remix. If you're a regular on his blog you'd always catch him ranting on about how he loves this song but didn't leave room for speculation about a remix. Well, Mr. Yeezy being Yeezy, he had to add his own little twist to a banger that is 'Bulletproof'.

Thoughts From My World: Let It Rip


Gaaad.... It's times like these that I really miss certain parts of my childhood. My little brother just got a Beyblade as a suprise present from my mom, as the tv show is making a comeback down here in the U.K. As soon as I saw his, it was like instant nostalgia......




Although, it seems the new Beyblade structure is less strong than the original and you can't customise some of em.... To me that was the best bit of having a Beyblade, customising it and putting Dranzer with Draciel etc etc.

Tyson, Kai, Max, Kenny and Ray........ the original Bladebreakers team...... They were just legends haha



I'm gonna purchase the original set to play along with my little bro and just to keep in my memories box.... I'm also gonna get the DVD box set of the series and the season one soundtrack. They had some banging tunes like...

Music Video: Wiz Khalifa - Black and Yellow

Lil Wayne's Last Letter Till November


As you may have heard Dwayne has been moved to solitary confinement till the rest of his sentence, so he has written his last letter to us on the outside. Here's his last tweet to us...



Read below the letter bellow....



Hello world. Time is ticking and I’m counting every second. Because of my new limitations, this unfortunately has to be my last letter. I don’t think people truly understand how much their thoughts and well wishes have helped me through this time in my life. Not everyone is as lucky as I am and it humbles me daily. You would be amazed what positivity can do in a negative environment. I’m going to miss reading about your lives. I’m going to miss looking at the pictures. They were the highlight of my days aside from speaking with my kids. Don’t stress over this in 27 days, the ride starts again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who is supporting I Am Not A Human Being. It amazes me each time people go out and support my music. I’ll always be in debt to you for that. Keep rocking your “Free Weezy” tees and rocking out to my music. Trust me when I say this is almost over. I love you. I’ll continue to pray for all of you. Just keep doing the same for me. 

27 DAYS TILL DWAYNE IS OUT

Music Video: Keri Hilson - Breaking Point X Pretty Girl Rock



November is looking like a very jam packed month with so many music projects dropping that month. Make sure you got Keri Hilson's sophmore album 'No Boys Allowed' jotted down in your calender for November 30th aswell. Peep her first music video from the album titled 'Breaking Point', it's more of a soulful Keri that we haven't seen since 'Slow Dance' in her last album. 

I thought this would be the direction of the album but I think it's gonna be more female empowered.... and no I'm not saying this because of the title of the album but rather her latest single 'Pretty Girl Rock' seems to follow suit. Peep it below....

Friday 1 October 2010

Music Video: Justin Bieber - U Smile

A Universal Language

So I started my day by hitting up Twitter as usual checking what's poppin, and to my suprise two bands were trending on the #TT's. Now you're probably wondering why I was suprised, well the two bands were from South Korea who just dropped some hot material on the web. Being the intrigued person I am, I went and done some research (YouTube and Wikipedia of course) and then before I noticed, I was listening to music that wasnt in English and really enjoying it. So today, Im going to introduce to those who haven't heard of em 'B2ST' and 'SHINee'.

B2ST (pronounced BEAST) is a boy band from South Korea that consists of 6 members. They are 'Kinda A Big Deal' down in Korea with 3 only EP's. They are known for their hot dance moves and explosive vocal ranges, and this was an accurate description as I decided to hear their latest single from their latest 5 track E.P 'Mastermind'. The single from this E.P is titled 'Breath' also known as 'SOOM', I can't tell you precisely much about what the song is about but judging by the video, the concept is 'I can't breath without you here' sorta like 'No Air' but much edgy. I love the video cos it seems alot more epic than stuff we've been used to recently especially down here in the U.K.

Take a peep at the full video here....

You can buy the mini-album NOW

Next up, it's SHINee (pronounced Shinyy) also a boy band from South Korea. Formed in 2008 with an impressive sized fan base, people often find themselves in #TeamSHINee or #TeamB2ST like the Twilight Movie stans. With 3 E.Ps and 2 albums, these guys have been putting in the work so they deserve it, they have their own fashion trend that was dubbed the 'SHINee trend' and product endorsements with brands such as Smart and Reebok. Their latest E.P 'Hello' will be the repackaged version of their E.P 'Lucifer', with the first single being the E.P title 'Hello' the track is refreshingly cool, and this time I was able to find out what the track actually means.... Here's an extract from the chorus - 
[All] Hello, hello
[Key] I brought up the courage
[All] Hello, hello
[Onew] I want to talk to you for a moment
[All] Hello, hello
[Jonghyun] I may be rushing a bit
[All] Who knows? We might
[Taemin] End up doing well
Peep the single audio here...

Peep the live performance of the song that was performed just hours ago....

The E.P will be released on 4.10.10

Guess it's true, music is a universal language
