Nicki Minaj - Right Thru Me

Nicki Showing her sensitive side..not too keen on the lace front (she normally gets her hair so right) but that's a minor. Also showing her acting skills in this. something else that she appears to be good at. Anywyaz I think it might be a grower. it Didn't grab me like POW! as she normally does, but I'll know in a week or so, after a few more plays if I'm feeling it. It gets the 'mmm its aiiiight' tag for now, but i am actually still singing the hook in my head.. Anyways have a listen decide for yourselves and Figa it out..

Stuff That Scared Me When I Was Little (The Boy From Space, Chocky etc)

Isn't it amazing how when you actually re-visit stuff that scared the pants off you (and possibly left you slight mentally scarred), when you were little are actually not that scary at all? I was trying to explain how heavy chocky's  children was but couldn't remember anything about it apart from the fact that it was slightly scary and i was engrossed by it, so i took a little trip down Youtube memory lane. I really cant understand why I was so scared lol. I thought everyone knew about Chocky but it appears I was wrong..I lived in London at the time so it may only have been on Granada..The Boy From Space was another one but i don't think it actually scared me that much, just found the actual space boy really freaky so I haven't included it. But the list below is basically stuff that REALLY REALLY scared me! 

The Day Of The Triffids
Literally hid behind the sofa and refused to watch this programme

Dr Who (Daleks)
not much needs to be said about these really, they were terrifying! Hated it!!! I think the old ones are the reason I don't watch Dr Who to this day.

Nightmare on Elm Street 
Freddie Kruger of Course (still scary today) 
what ever you do dont fall asleep! 

Chokys Children (Choky)
Now this was a children's programme, really cant see why i was scared at all based off the footage I found on Youtube. 
Cant really remember what it was about just remember the fact that it scared me and that I loved it at the same time. 
(scroll to 3:07mins to see the infamous Choky)

The Boys From Brazil 
This is not one you would probably expect to be included, but it had a profound affect on me. The thought of Hitlers D.N.A being kept and 100s of little Hitlers reproduced scared me to death! (saw it in my early teens) The boy who plays the little clones as well was VERY scary!! Highly recommend this film still.. 

Have I missed any off? What Scared you?

Daddy's Girls - Life Begins With Lyrics

Ok! These ladies are a breath of fresh air, and they are home grown. 

You can tell that they are writing from experience, in their unique perspectives rather than bravado or fantasy, you feel like you are being let into their glamorous lives. I love the the way write, that's what really stood out to me the most. But they also sing so are not one dimensional. You need to check out their FREE mixtape ' download here: 

Look out for Gems such as 'Hit & Run' this song is so cleaver!! (Listen and you'll see what i mean), and the cheeky but funny 'Keep Me Down' 
'Credible Hip Hop  laced with R&b & sprinkled with pop appeal' that's the best way to describe them. 

Everything about them is on point from image to songs. Feeling them. 

Let me know what you think and please pass it on. 

Here's The Bumpf: 
Life Begins with Lyrics' is the debut mixtape from UK hip hop/RnB trio DaddysGirls. Just let it play...
credits
released 30 May 2010 
Producer Credits: 
Kajmir Royale (Friday Night, The Love Song, Too Real) 
Beatnation (Keep Me Down) 
Nutty P (Serious Time, I'm Lean, Ready Set Go) 
STINKAHBELL (Friday Night Remix) 
Natty B (Hit and Run, The Past/Present/Future, Too Drunk to Drive)

Unkown - Do Wit It

Not too sure if this is a demo, i'm guessing it is because its blatantly a man singing to another man about where's ya girl...not judging just havent seen an r&b song address such issues before..but yup i think its a demo. Sounds amazingly finished for a demo though..

  anyhoo lol, I do reeeally like it. It will be interesting to see who it gets shopped around to and who actually finally ends up with it as their song.
If you recognise the voice or think hey thats me singing, hit me up!

  Love the beat, Chunky but airy all at the same time.

  Proper R&b song though Loves it!! Figa It Out..

Marsha Ambrosius - I Hope She Cheats On You

Ok so I'm a little late with the bloggin of this one but I've only just come back on to my blogging properly.. I've been concentrating on my comps..but as you can tell by the last week or so i'm well and truly back.. yuup deffo back! Anywyaz, I  Keep playing this song, still love her voice even though she's gone all skinny lol! Na she looks good and you can tell she's feeling herself at the moment. Still have hope that they will get back together (Floetry) but as long as they are individually or otherwise still releasing stuff like this then I suppose I'm happy! 


Love the way its written..more artists I feel need to start writing from their own perspective rather 'writing' if that makes sense?? Remember no one does you better than you! anywyaz here's the Skinny Marsha

Katy B ft Miss Dynamite - Lights On

I neeeeed this song if anyone can help you know I'd love ya 4eva! Can't even get it on youtube that tells you that its either supa fresh or the record label ' av it pon lock' hehe either way please help!

Speaking of Ms B, has anyone clocked her playing wii with Gigs, Amelle Sugar Babe, diddy man Tinchy.. All I can say really is - is UK urban just a new way of saying pop? Think about it folks its nintendo, they wouldn't have jus anyone, jus any old hoodlum up on their adverts now would they?

At the same time its a testiment to how far the afore mentioned have driven the scene, gotta give props in thay sense no matter what u think of their sound (some of their sounds) All I can say is Fair play though at least someone's getting paid through the double recession hehe hopefully nintendo or xbox even playstation will come knocking on my door soon hehe No haterade intended, just blogging..I write what comes to my finger tips and dony worry about the results till afterwards..when its too late

Cassidy - Drumma Bass

I'm in two minds about this one, Absolutely love the beat! Feel like Cassidy [nearly] spoilt the track for me. I suppose its a blessing that the dude is walking talking etc but maybe he should give the beat to someone more deserving #dontjudgeme #justmyopinion 

I think I need a version on the beat..

Cant work out what the samples saying..Kick Cassidy off put Niki on it featuring Rukus & Ludacris maybe Busta as well and its a sure fire banger ;) they would suit it more!! Yeeeaup (in my best Trey Songz voice)

FREAKY!! Try it it works!!!

Another bbm message! Freaked me out! I just did it and it works, sooo nuts.. This is wicked! :O WOW!

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! 

It takes less than a minute . 

Work this out as you read . Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!  This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.. 

 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have sex (more than once but less than 10)
 
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5. 4. Multiply it by 50 - I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1760 . If you haven't, add 1759..

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number .

The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have sex each week). 

The next two numbers are  YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)  

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2010) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. (It works!!!!)

Can anyone explain to me WHY it works?

Figa it out...

Griminal 'Supa Dupa' (AATW/360 Records)

Griminal

'Supa Dupa'

(AATW/360)

 

This is what his press says:

Griminal has long been a name on the lips of DJs and Grime fans alike, from his early mixtapes to his track stealing bars on Wiley's 'She Likes' this young man has enthraled. 'Supa Dupa' is a street single released on the 15th of November and showcases Grim's witty and catchy flows over booming production. Now signed to AATW/360 Records, 2011 promises to be a big year for Griminal as he releases his first single proper and debut LP. Soul 2 Streets Priority Artist!!

 


This is what Figa Says: 

Video is all nice and shiny ( I like shiny) so cant wrong there lol. Its been floating around for a minute, but as its due for release soon you will definitely be hearing more of it. I'm curious to see if he will fully cross over, he's done the whole Indie Tinie inspired chorus type thing, but still kept his integrity in the verses. I love his cheeky flow ;) Rate it, but its not rocking my world. Find my self singing along with out realising but its definitely/ undeniably a good tune. I thjinl it just comes down to taste / what moves you..anywayz..Time will tell but ..how far commersh can it go? and thats where this song seems to me to aimed?  I could be wrong? of course thats where the money is so thats the obvious place to head.. He is a hard worker though let see what this does.

Let's see if she can justify being in the show though..

Her eyebrows look sooo much better, that's a good look hehe

She's rapping, and the rappings actually quite good! Its better than her singing. I like her! Would love to take her to Nandos and make sure she finishes a plate..

I digress...

Storm Lee! Red hair! Great voice bet the judges hate it all! Can't deny his voice again not sure if the public will get him I do like his eccentricity, not sure about the make up and silver trousers hehe. As Louis said he did put on a show. Isn't that what its about though? Cheryls getting a lot of boos lol

Let's see what his nemisis Mr Cowell has to say..

Well he was nicer to him than I thought he would be. Dermot is great though stood up for him! Go on Dermy!

Looking forward to Bel Amie

John did OK wasn't great, our Chezza was right he's not really memorable. Love the banter between Simon and Louis, they crack me up! Rebeccas up next, hope she looks up this time. Have to admit I don't get what the fuss is on this chick. She's pretty but not loving the voice. The styling is so off key as well. Bit of a 80s film reject meshed with 50s glamor puss. Did not enjoy that. Sorry Rebecca fans..
