Neil's Saturday Night Workout [Dizzee Rascal,Lethal B,Will Westwood die?,Chip,Tulisa & More [Blog]



*Its been a while since I blogged, got to be honest part of me is worried people dont read anymore and just want to watch Youtube? Lets prove some heads wrong..*

* Big up Dizzee Rascal all day long, but who the fuck dresses him? Surely he didnt choose that god damn awful sunglasses and shirt combo in the new DJ Fresh video?! I was watching MTV Base the other day and 'Top Ten of Dizzee' was on, and I guess he's always dressed awful if ' I Luv U' is anything to go by...


*Speaking of dress sense, is Lethal B better at marketing than he is MCing? Love Bizzle, but are people just booking him now off this 'Dench' / 'Leave It Yeah' hype, because lets face it, his last few singles have been dreadful. Saying that, all I see is him doing club shows in places like Hull, so maybe he aint doing anything apart from filling up my Twitter timeline.


*Nothing wrong with club nights though, they are where you can make easy money and win alot of new fans. I saw a certain 'Hard Man' UK Rapper from South London at Oceania Birmingham not too long ago. He was on the smallest podium I've ever seen and his hype man didnt even have a mic, just threw hand signs at the double up bits. I'm laughing just thinking about this..

*Heard Wiley's new summer tune on Annie Mac's radio one show last week,didn't really like it although the chorus is catchy as Hell,that said his recent run of freestyles (Step 1,Step 2...) are the already Legendary.

*Staying with radio, when Tim Westwood dies (because lets face it he will never retire) is Charlie Sloth next to step up? The guys moved on leaps and bounds the past year, his Radio One show is brilliant and truly represents the street movement on commercial radio. What ever happened to Semtex? Has he fell off that hard?! Or is it all politics?

* Is there any truth in this rumor I'm hearing that Bradley from S Club 7 now Works in Nando's?

* Although there were mixed views on the tracklisting for UK Rap Vol 1,its good to see the genre represented on that level without getting in to the old 'Isnt any Mcing Mcing' debate. Hopefully it will do well as a release and lead to more UK Rap in stores on a professional level

* Will the Whos Da The Boss Grime Battles ever take place or was it just another myth?

* Ciper Jewels is producing and working with MC's again. This guy made the soundtrack to my hip hop beginnings..

* I miss Skinnyman

* Watched Kidulthood randomly on Netflix. Still as good as ever, but how big is the soundtrack?! Jehst 'Water Torture' is amazing

* Still cant get my head round why Chip (Munk) is on the Sky Sports 'Hard Knocks' rugby advert?! Fair play to Chip, hes made massive moves in the states with Grand Hustle and if his London Boy mixtape is half as good as Spazzed.com then its gonna be a problem. I cant even talk about his Fire in the Booth its that good..

* I've said it for years, but the biggest rappers in this country SHOULD be S.A.S. ! Their new Narnia EP is huge, and I cant get Super Mario Bros off my Iphone. I still to this day play their old Streets All Salute material and alot of the young MC's could learn alot from this.

* Why was Drake tweeting about Chelsea again? Stop clutching and get a better support on your tour than Labrynth

* FUCK ME SKEPTA'S NEW SONG IS HORRIBLE! Love the guy, but jesus, stop listening to your label for single choices!!

* Also loving Mikill Paine's new EP, I admire his networking with his guests on there. Still charged him to get into my club night in Brum when he was out on the lash after he was supporting Rizzle Kicks though...thats my hustle..

* I had to unfollow Sox on Twitter, couldnt handle the RT's! Im hearing hes booked to be at Global Gathering though this Summer? That's massive if true, even if the line up virtually is the same as last year..

*Good to see Rio's latest SBTV video on the net last week, rate him. The new Bashy video is sick aswell. Sad to see LowKey put the mic down though, been a fan for years from my days reading Hip Hop Connection magazine and being a 'backpack' rap fan. Fingers crossed its just a break and he's back before the end of the year.

* If you dragged a wank out of the Tulisa 'sex tape' then you have major issues...I cracked up at Big Narstie's reply the other day!

* If you were an MMA fighter what track what you come out to?

*If you dont have Lady Leshur's 2000 and L mixtape on your itunes then why are you even a fan of music?

*Admit it, you clicked on Tinchy's last video off his Wish List EP in sympathy didnt you?
