The UK Music Scene.

"Freeing the realness."

A couple days ago I saw something which involved one of my favs, American radio and TV presenter, Charlamagne the God, BBC 1xtra radio pretender, Charlie Sloth and UK "Grime" artist, Chipmunk.

Charlamagne Tha God

Chipmunk was tweeting about Charlie and BBC 1xtra and some "lost" footage from an interview with Charlie and Charlamagne.

In the video that has been uploaded, Charlamagne was asked to give his opinion on a few UK rapper's performances on Charlie Sloth's show, 'Fire in the Booth' and Charlamagne's opinion about UK rapper, Bugzy Malone.

Summer Trouble In London Again?

On Tuesday, the 18th of July, we saw what looks like the start of summer trouble.

Hyde Park, 2016

Tuesday's escapades at Hyde Park saw over 4000 youngsters - who had showed up to a pre-planned water fight and what the media are calling "A Bashment Music Festival" - caused mayhem and turned against each other and the police. Five people were stabbed including a police officer - "a video is circulating on the web showing a young man being chased through traffic by three youths, and then allegedly being stabbed."

This isn't the first time we've seen scenes like this in London - although this time it was a little milder.

In the Summer of 2011, following the police shooting death of Mark Duggan, after what started as a peaceful protest, turned into complete mayhem, people became opportunist and used this time to make some sort of statement rather than focusing on what the real issue was.

Fashion Alert: The ISHU Invisible scarf.

I was watching The Wendy Williams Show this week and saw during her 'Hot Topics' segment she  spoke about The 'ISHU' scarf, which makes the wearer invisible when a picture is taken using the flash.

Access All Brands is the creator of the Anti-Flash 'ISHU' - "A collection which has been made with not only luxury in mind but also privacy", as said on their website.

In the pictures below, Paris Hilton is able to not be seen when the flash is used whilst taking a picture.

Is Making A Stand Not Allowed For The BLM Movement?

We live in a world where society reflects that the lives of black people are not deemed as important as any other lives.

The NBA have revealed that they will be moving next year's All-Star games from North Carolina in protest at an opposing LGBT law brought into place in March of this year. The North Carolina Bathroom Law also known as the House Bill 2 (HB2) states that people must use the bathroom which  identifies to the gender on their birth certificate.

NBA Officials Statement:

"Our weeklong schedule of All-Star events and avticities is intended to be a global celebration of basketball, our league and the values for which we stand and to bring together all members of the NBA community. we do not believe we can successfully host our All-Star festivities in Charlotte in the climate created by (the) HB2 (law)"

Now this shows a stand against the government and the state, as they could stand to lose close to $100m and we all know hitting them where it hurts is what matters and that's in their pockets.

So please tell me why the WNBA have fined several basketball teams and players for wearing Black t-shirts in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Moncler's newest campaign made in conjunction with the Friends With You Art collective has got social media heated.
The image resembles the 19th century offensive doll, 'The Golliwog'.

Taylor Swift Finally Exposed!!!

"When the grass is cut the snakes will show, Shouts out to my girl, Kim K for that though." - *Jay Z voice.*

Kim K has done what I asked and what any loyal wife/girlfriend should do - expose the bitch that is trying to take their man down.

From my post written on 13th July 2016

"Ask and ye shall receive."

I've been patiently waiting for the video recording of Kanye talking to Taylor Swift about his song 'Famous' to be put out and thank you Kim. Kim posted the recording on her snapchat, Sunday night and social media went crazy.

Baton Rouge Police Shooting Suspect Name Released.

The police have released the name of the Baton Rouge shooter, who today (18th July 2016),  killed 3 officers and injured another 4, in the same city which saw the death of Alton Sterling, on July 5th, at the hands of police officers.

Baton Rouge Shooter named as, Gavin Eugene Long

Former marine, Gavin Eugene Long, an alleged former Nation Of Islam member has been named as the suspect of today's tragedy.

Not much information has been released about Gavin Long, aside from whatever is already on the web.

Tyga Remixes Drakes Controlla.

So I watched the video for Tyga's new song '1 Of 1'  and I cannot believe that this isn't a joke.

Why has Tyga done this?

Does he not realise he looks like a joke?

The song is a shit version of Drake's 'Controlla'  and the video reminds me of a shit version of Drake's, 'Find Your Loving' video. "What the fuq is this Tyga?"

Rich Homie Quan Messes Up At The Hip Hop Honors.

The VH1 Hip Hop Honors 2016 aired on television on Monday, 11th July and Rich Homie Quan has been the talk of the show, for all the wrong reasons.

Rich Homie Quan was a surprise choice to perform Biggie's verses in 'Get Money' wth Lil Kim and to make a short story even shorter, "he flopped."

His lack of respect was worthy of a cup being thrown from the crowd."Although I do not condone violence."

Calvin Harris Is Not Taking Taylor Swift's BS.

Before I start - I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift at all and I wasn't happy with the union of her and Calvin.

She was no better than Rita WhOra in my eyes.

From the moment Kanye took that mic and gave her life, she has been nothing but a "Bih...and a Bih not to be trusted."

Chrissy Teigen vs Piers Morgan.

The gloves are off for model and John Legends wife, Chrissy Teigen.

Chrissy took to Twitter today (13th July) to lay into journalist and Good Morning Britain presenter, Piers Morgan, regarding his article in the 'Daily Mail' regarding Jennifer Aniston saying she is "Fed Up" of pregnancy rumours.

Chrissy went in with a barage of characters at Piers, who to no surprise, took it all in his stride and responded in his usual, "I'm smirking as a type this",  sarcastic way. 

Celebrity News: Omarion and Apryl Jones Have Split Up.

The couple who win the most adorable kid's hands down, Omarion and Apryl Jones, have decided to part ways, four months after welcoming their second child, A'mei. 

Apryl first spoke about the matter on Snapchat, confirming what didn't cause the split. "It had nothing to do with cheating on either side, some people just grow apart."

Omarion used Instagram to confirm their split.

Jane Elliott Speaks On Racism

With everything that is going at this time concerning racism I have come across a few videos of, Anti-Racism activist, Jane Elliott and her aim to eradicate racism.

Jane Elliott

She is known for the "Blue eyes - Brown eyes" exercise - "This, now well known exercise, identifies participants as inferior and superior based solely on their eye color and exposes them to the experience felt by minorities."

I have come across this more recent video of Jane Elliott conducting the Blue eyes - Brown eyes exercise.

A Week Of Turmoil In America.

Last week we saw the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, which brought protesters to the streets of Baton Rouge, LA, New York and Dallas calling for these officers to be punished for these murders.

It was in Dallas that Five police officers were killed by lone sniper, Micah Xavier Johnson, who was not a part of the Back Lives Matter Movement.

Dallas Shooter, Micah Xavier Johnson

His reason for these shootings was because of the killings of Sterling and Castile.

Am I surprised?

"It is sad to say but, No."

"Before I continue these cops did not deserve to die because of the acts of others."

*WARNING: Graphic Content - Another Black Man's Life Taken By A Cop.

What is going on in this world?

Two black men killed in the space of 48 hours by cops.

Alton Sterling's body isn't even cold and now, another black man let down by the law enforcers, Philando Castile.

Philando Castile was with his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, when he was stopped due to a busted tail light.

In the live video, Diamond posted on Facebook, you can hear the cop shouting and his voice sounds very agitated.

There was no reason for this man to have died, something needs to be done NOW!!!

*Graphic Content*

*WARNING: Graphic Content* US Cops Kill Another Black Man.

I woke up this morning to see that yet another black man had been killed by law enforcement in America.

Alton Sterling

Alton Sterling, 37, was shot six times on Tuesday night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, by two police officers outside of a supermarket whilst he sold CD's.

This man was trying to make a living and provide for his family.

His kids will now have to grow up without a father because of two, trigger happy police officers.

Celebrity News: Where Is The Love People?

Firstly, whether they are dating  or not is none of my business, but I've been hearing a lot of negative comments about this union and I had to add my opinion.

Which will be nothing but positive. 

I think they look good together. The chemistry looks sexy.

People have said "But Birdman is so rough and Toni is so prim and proper."

"What do people know?"

I watch 'The Braxton's' and I've seen the Toni Braxton movie and what Ive seen, Toni is a family orientated person who loves to love and cares deeply for people. She loves her career and loves being Toni Braxton.

"Isn't Bryan the same?"

He loves his family, he loves his career and loves being Bryan Williams.

These two are more similar than you would think.

One To Watch: Music Moguls On BET.

Birdman, Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri and Dame Dash are currently starring in a new docu-series, on BET, called Music Moguls and it is definitely one to watch.

This show gives an insight into how these men operate in business and what makes them a 'Boss'.

We're all familiar with these men in the music industry but it's good to see how they navigate outside of the music world.

Bryan 'Birdman' Williams is a man that just has the essence of someone that should be a 'Boss'. He has made Cash Money a money making machine and continues to do so.

News Nation Mistakes Serena Williams For Venus Williams.

So I'm guessing we're still under the impression that all black people look the same?

The above picture is of Serena and NOT Venus

Have we not passed the times of black people, related or not, being mistaken for each other?

Serena and Venus have each achieved major victorys in their careers and deserve respect for their individual talents.

"Can these news outlets put some respect on their names?"

Is Jay Z Selling Tidal?

Is Jay selling Tidal to Apple?

Rumours have been spreading on social media, that Jay Z is in talks with Apple about selling them Tidal.

I'm one of those people that thinks this isn't a good idea.

When Tidal was first created, Jay said Tidal was for the artist - giving the artist the money that they should be getting - but if Jay sells Tidal to Apple what does this do to his whole plan?

Many comments on Twitter have shown disapproval at this move and could change the way people see Jay foreverrrr...*Cardi B Voice*

Was this the plan from the beginning?

The Secret Black Civil War - "Is The Industry Colour Blind?"

Welcome to Part 2 of The Secret Black Civil War.

In this chapter I want to speak about the difference in the way that dark skinned women are treated compared to dark skinned men.

While dark skinned women can be portrayed as being less attractive, dark skinned guys are blessed with comments like chocolate, sexy and fine.

Why is it that dark-skinned men are seen as being more "acceptable" to the public eye than dark-skinned women?

The "In-Thing" of the moment is tall, dark, chocolate, "brothers".

Idris 'Chocolate' Elba

Tyrese 'Sexy' Gibson

Morris 'Fine' Chestnut

But what about the dark-skinned female celebrities?

When will they ever be the "In-Thing"?
