Game Over: The Aftermath

The hype and opinions that exploded off the back of this track were phenomenal!! Within 24 hours the video had over 100,000 views on YouTube and over 2,000 comments. Whilst also trending on Twitter within the London region.

Here are some of the things that we're said about the video/track:

@SwerveOnKiss: Game Over [Remix] is a different kind of incredible - beat + lyrical levels are too much - who made this beat? I need to shout them out

@SwerveOnKiss: if when playing #gameover you actually wheeled it the amount of times it deserved it would be over and hour long no?

@Shinobidan: Pro green is da best mc by miles on game over #realesttalkever

@PrincessRemz: Giggs definitely took over the whole of Game Over!

@CaramelCrumble: Just heard the game over riddum and it's pants. A couple one liners absolutely no bars.

@BigDirtz: if you thought the game over video was good then ur ah ediat

@WileyArtist: Example was meant to Be on the tune obviously I wasn't I respect tinch for that game over tune don't hate

@WileyArtist: Please don't try it with tinchy it's his song and if he asked me I would of said no anyway

@MikillPane: Chipmunk's verse on 'Game Over' could probably put a new roof over his head...it's been slated that many times. Nobody's feeling it. :-(

@MikillPane: In fact, when I watched 'Game Over' & saw comments about Chipmunk's verse, I hadn't seen that many slaters since I last watched EastEnders.

@GustoNBT: Everyone is gassing up the game over track and I cant see or hear why. I must be hearing something very different.

@TinchyStryder: I love how everyones leaving their different opinions on #GameOver on YouTube... Interesting too see so many different view points!

So what were the YouTube comments saying??

Well most were slating Chipmunk saying that his game is in fact over and he sounds like he's trying to be an English version of Lil Wayne, but loads others were also stating that Wiley, Skepta, Ghetts and a few others should have been featured on the track. However many show gratitude for the beat and it seems Devlin, Professor Green and Example have received the most praise.

Personally I think Ishi 2Stripes has produced one of the hardest beats we've heard come out of the UK during 2010 and whether the track is liked or not, Tinchy Stryder has done a great job as everybody has been talking about it.

I'm sure there are many out there who think they can do better and will be re-making their own versions. We shall see.....

Encountering 2010.....

Hmmm.... I haven't entered any posts since the start of the year so as we proceed into our third week in, what have I been getting up to that's made me so busy to be slacking on my love of blogging?

Eastenders E20

Well anybody that knows me or follows my Twitter is well informed of my love for Eastenders. At the end of last year, a spin-off was launched named "E20". With 4 main characters, 3 who have already infiltrated into the main programme, it's going to be interesting to see how the continuation with the parallel storylines are kept up. If you're a fellow lover of Eastenders and want to check out the story so far you can view online. Interactive TV viewers can also view via the red button.

Celebrity Big Brother

I can't say I've been keeping up with it this year, but I have been watching it so to speak. With Sisqo and Vinnie Jones in the house, I thought I'd be addicted but instead it's still just one of those programmes on television, where you have to ask yourself why exactly it is that you're watching it... I'm glad they're making donations to Haiti though. I might start watching it more now that 'Sov' has been evicted.... Apparently her 'people' love her... What people? She obviously wasn't aware of the chants the crowd were making until she made her exit. I have to wonder how her mind works to be honest, but I won't spend too much time on that thought......

Alright let's move away from the major distraction of TV, what have I really been doing other than beating my way though all this snow the government has been struggling to deal with?

Magazine

Work behind the scenes of the upcoming issue on Da-Mju:zik magazine is well underway. Kicking off the year with an edition dedicated to one of the leading collectives in the 'urban' music scene, it has been an enjoyable experience. There are various improvements also being made with the presentation of the magazine including a whole new range of visuals, assisting to the levels of enthusiasm within the camp this month. I'll be definitely letting you know more about that as things proceed.

Radio

As you will all know if you've followed my blog for a while or done your research, I was a guest presenter on a few shows with Scratcha on his Grimey Breakfast Show on Rinse FM which I have enjoyed doing on each occasion. Leading to me getting more involved in radio production including a course with Point Blank and an upcoming radio show. More I'll be letting you know about as they proceed.

Anything Else??

Of course there are other things, but I gotta keep some of it to myself right? But if you really want some exclusive info, you'll have to catch up with me on my Twitter <---click here for my Twitter account ;o)

But I surely am enjoying this year loads thus far, I hope you all are too. Let's make it a good one xxxx

Weekend Shenanigans.......

I had so much fun this weekend.... It's been a blast!!!

This Saturday I was on the list for Boxfresh/Channel AKA party but my attendance just wasn't meant to be.... I've been told by a few people that I never missed much so not to be in despair.

Anyway......

I braved the cold in my peep toe shoes to venture down to Avalon, Shoreditch for the Awkward Star Re-Launch..... Although I had no feeling in my feet or toes upon arrival, the night proceeded to be worth the numbness. With plenty of good music, good people and good vibes including a dance off between Slick (one half of the JCX & Slick duo) and Lee 'Littleman' Vassell which included cart wheels, back flips, somersaults and everything!! Poor Slick hurt his heel and bum in the antics (hope you're feeling better bubsie xxmwahxx)......

The amount of alcohol consumed was more than substantial, if Avalon never hit bar spend then it's simply too high.... SNM

Sunday I was meant to go to a dinner party, but that got postponed..... Weren't too happy about that as I was looking forward to getting my eat on, but sh*t happens I guess

I then continued the weekend by attending Sunday Show for the first time.....

Not somewhere you'd usually find me at all. The many (BAIT) faces on a Sunday evening isn't really the 'exclusive' surrounding I go for.... But at the same time, I got to see many familiar faces (BAIT), some of which I haven't seen for a good while (BAIT), but nevertheless it was a good evening overall. The entertainment was I believe above the usual standard usually reported from Sunday Show revellers and with comedians Eddie Kadi, Glenda Jaxson and Mo the Comedian hosting, I would be lying to say it wasn't a laugh.

There was one performance that stood out to me though, I don't really feel the track but the message within says much about the raving scene nowadays (although the choice of networking site in the track is dated), but hey, we all do it..... I did it this weekend...... Why??

BECAUSE WE'RE ALL TWITTERHOLICS!!!

If you're a web user and don't understand the Twitter hype, this is a message from Twitter:

Twitter is more fun and useful when you access it from your mobile phone

On a level though, maybe we should really fall back on the Blackberry and iPhone usage when in the raves, events etc and just concentrate on having a good time......
