New Video: Oliver Twist

D'Banj

The track has been knocking around since last year, many urban artist have had their go at a freestyle and now finally an official video has been released!

Check it out....

Now I don't know about you but I found that rather boring. In fact, other than a little bit of dancing here and there, the most exciting thing was Kanye West taking off his hood at the end. So much build up to lead an end product of that.... I'm disappointed!

Gassed: Watch The Throne Tour!

It's been a while since a concert was announced that really got me excited enough to physically go online to purchase a ticket, especially at an extortionate rate.... J. Cole? Pass! Drake? Pass! Beyonce or Rihanna? Pass! Trey Songz? Pass! Rick Ross? Pass! But Jay and Ye on one stage?? That sh*t crazy!! These guys are icons, no legends and I love them both!!

I purchased my ticket a couple of days ago but I'm still so very much GASSED!!!!!!!

If you're reaching, this gonna be a blinding experience, if not... I might throw up a lil review on the blog but we'll see... It's gonna be a 100% enjoyment moment for me lol

Start It Up Remix

Lloyd Banks feat. Sway, Giggs, Kanye, Swiss Beats & Ryan Leslie

Came across this one a few weeks back. With the common thing to be to do a remix including a US/UK collabo I don't think this will be the last one. I haven't heard this track being played much however, maybe the idea has become rather saturated? Or maybe it just hasn't been heard enough? I can see this one being played in the clubs while the DJs do their montages though.....

Not heard it? Check it out....

Kanye in a Fairytale??

Kanye West may end up being the talk of the town once again..... No he hasn't gatecrashed another musician's special moment or anything like that.... He has a mini movie titled "We Were Once A Fairytale....."

Check it out!!

The Best Drake Ever Had??

I'm not really one to follow hype... I like to lay my own path to walk down rather that be led by another, but this video makes me laugh....

Drake is the hot new sensationt that everybody is rabbitting on about, and I have to admit, I have liked everyone of his songs that I have heard so far but this video is just no on par... Or maybe I should bring it into modern slang and just say Drake HAS BEEN PARRED!!

Check out the video for yourself:


Directed by Kanye West, I'm sure this could've been so much better!! Everyone had some high expectations for this video but it's more like soft porn with the song as the soundtrack. I guess Kanye thought that with it being summer and all, the men would like to do some ogling while tuned into MTV Base. I however will be sticking to the stereo. Kanye & Drake should've aimed higher, because their efforts seem more like they wanted to end up in the gutter!!

What do you think of the video?
