Before I was into grime, funky, dubstep etc I was a UK Hip Hop fan...when I was 16 me & my boys would head up to Camden for nights like Kung Fu @ Underworld where I'd see & hear the likes of Skinnyman, Estelle, Big P, Skeme, Jehst, Klashnekoff, Kyza, Mystro, Rodney P & loads more!
There was a large sense of community, Street wear clothing store Dark N Cold used to put out their videos (that's right VHS!) with all the most popular artists' videos and freestyles, much like the forma...

Yesterday I went to go see "Pied Piper" at the Barbican.
It was basically a hip hop dance story based on the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Now, not being 102 years old and not remembering the whole story from primary school you see how this show may have confused me slightly, obvious ignorance on my part! But don't get me wrong, the show was good.
The place was pretty packed out too, kids on trips from youth clubs, family and friends of the cast, old people wanting to see what the '...

We all love Ray Winstone and if you don't, go watch Sexy Beast and you will... Since his super-hollywood style-stardom via Beowulf it looked like he was unlikely to get back to a gritty British 'Scum' like film.... But here it is and it looks nice...

How good was Smokin Aces?
That film made me wanna marry Alicia Keys, go buy a Common album, like Ryan Reynolds and confirm that Jeremy Piven is one of the most entertaining actors in Hollywood.. But it's always kinda worrying when they put a 2 at the end of the title, unless it's got Bruce Willis in it..

So last night I was receiving tweet after tweet after tweet about the mass amount of snow fall.
Now, I don't like rain, or cold, but something about snow gets me so excited!

And is it just me or does christmas just not feel like its around the corner this year?
Maybe its because I'm getting old! I just feel it doesn't hold the same sentiment... But I wan...
