Girlicious


ok everyone, if you aint heard of this new group who can give all dem girl bands a run for their money, then where da hek hav u been at.from left(Christina,Nichole,Natalie,Tiffany), I have to admit dat at first I weren't too sure dat dis Girlicious thing would work but when i saw and heard there official video/song I was very shocked. I mean, they are a bit unorganised in da video but apart from dat they can all sing (only 2 chiks from pussy cat dolls can actually sing,lol,not to say dat dats a bad thing) anywhuz, these Girlicious girlies are well choreographed, I have to admit that they do dress a bit slutty tho, which is not very surprising compared to how other girl bands are dressing nowadays(leave something for the imagination girls), they are a well put together group when you put all dat negativity on da side and I have to give the creator of the Pussycat Dolls Robin Antin props for creating a big competition for all these otha girl groups out der, they betta watch they spot, because Girlicious are on they're way to stardom.
here da official video for their debut single "Like Me"
Great ad libs by Tiffany

New Music: Rihanna

Heres 'Disturbia' a brand new track from the re-release of Rihannas 'Good Girl Gone Bad' album due out on 17th June. While current no1 single 'Take a bow' was a solid effort this is a step back IMO. There are far better tracks such as 'Sell Me Candy' ,anyone who knows me knows how much I love that song, and 'Rehab' on the original album so why they've chosen to put out this mess is beyond me.
Anyway check it out and share your thoughts.

Listen to DISTURBIA

Weekly Throwback

Dammit where does the time go? It's friday again! For this weeks throwback I've decided to do a slow jam coz i don't think we have before. Heres changing faces with their debut single 'Stroke you up' all the way from 1994! I can't even front like I remember it from then I recently rediscovered it through a friend and its been on heavy rotation on my ipod since.
R Kelly was the 'mastermind' behind this group who never really hit the big time but were one of the better R'n'B girl groups of the '90's. Their song G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T (even with the annoying spelling) is still one of my favourite tunes. Enjoy the vid

Maxim Magazine..BOO!

Seriously.. who do they think they are with their Top 100 ladies list! Oh c'mon.. it's so wrong in so many ways. First of all some of the people who made it on to the list really makes me wonder lol and I noticed there's hardly any black women on the list (we need love too! LOL).
On a serious note, I dunno, I just find it odd because it kind of presents women as visual objects to please men- yeah I kno.. what do I expect since it is male magazine that is obsessed with women, sex etc. I kno it's not no new thing but things like this truly show how society is SO obsessed with appearance! And you sure as hell know for some silly girls it's their life ambition to get on that list lol.

If you wanna see the list for urself its floating around on a few blogs, or just go to the Maxim site..

Weekly Throwback

Lets get these throwbacks back on track shall we? Thats a hard sentence to say try it. Since the summer is fast approaching I thought this track would be perfect. This is a classic NO-ONE can tell me that they didn't love this tune. I present to you Sweet Female Attitude with 'Flowers' from 2000. This just takes me back man to happy sunny days i think i was in y5 at school when this was out. Listen to me i sound like a pensioner at the grand old age of 18 lol. I seem to be always aking this question in the throwbacks but where are they now, these girls to me are the true definition of the phrase one-hit wonder! Enjoy the vid.

Keri Hilson Update

The release date for Keri Hilson's debut album 'In A Perfect World' has been set for september 23rd. I have been waiting for this album for a minute and a half ,now if you didn't know thats a VERY long time, lol. Hopefully it won't get pushed back her first single is 'Energy' due out next month.
If you don't know about keri then you've probably been in space for the last year or so :-) Although shes been in the game for years songwriting for other artists (Britney Spears Gimme More Omarion Icebox, Mary J Blige take me as I am etc) shes breaking out as a solo artist now. You might also recognise her from the number 1 smash 'The way I are' with Timbaland. Shes all over his album on tracks 'Scream' which also pointlessly features Nicole zingerburger or whateva her name is who has run back to the pussycat dolls SHAME lol (let me save that for another post I'm going off track) and 'miscommunication'- big tune! Anyway we'll definitely be bringing you a review of the album when it drops. In the meantime check out some of her music 'Hands And Feet' is the biggest tune EVER! truss me

Weekly Throwback


You just knew we had to do an Erykah Badu track, "On and On". This lady's amazing, her talent is so raw and timeless. It's strange that even at a real young age I could still appreciate her music. This video makes me laugh though. Did you see how hard she was tuggin' at that little girl's hair?! Poor thing. And when she threw her hot tea on the man's neck.. lol.. I know in real life that defiantly aint funny!

Like she says, her "cypher keeps going like a rolling stone". Erykah's still right about that, she's still continuing to make music in '08 touching many people's minds. Check out "Healer" weird but interesting song by her. Especially if you listen to it through earphones.. my gosh!

Family Guy got competition!


LOL! I just found this. Since I'm on the topic of Black animated characters look at this little charm. I'm a fan of Family Guy but I must admit I haven't watched it in a while (heard the new series are airing on BBC3 in the UK though). If this comes out I'd defiantly watch it, but doubt it'd be as funny as the actual Family Guy though, nothing beats Peter Griffin and co lol. Look at the black version of the characters Chris and Stewie. LOL.

This image is too funny to me.
