Ghetts does the Industry Hater!
I know I said that I wasn't going to blog about the Industry Hater again and to be honest I haven't.
But, this video of Ghetts mimicking the 'IH' mimicking himself is funny! Check it from 3 mins in.

HotOneTen Podcast Vol. 1 – NOISSES
HotOneTen have dropped their first ever podcast and just in time for Xmas I may add.
This podcast also introduces their latest member of the family NOISSES.
Also known as SessioNoisseS and one half of The Equalizers, Noisses has been tearing through the club scene in the past year with a big, bass heavy Dubstep sound. Noisses’ remix of Equalizers ‘The Illness’ has been making waves, recently reaching the number one spot on the ‘Trackitdown’ Dubstep chart and receiving BBC Radio 1 plays from Annie Nightingale and Nihal, plus 1Xtra plays from Rusko and others. On the verge of a massive year ahead Noisses drops an hour of bass heavy badness for us.

50 Cent on Westwood
I enjoyed this interview, I have always said 50 cent is smart and articulate and he proves it once again with this interview.
It was also good to see 50 cent put Westwood in his place, Westwood seemed pretty uncomfortable at one point. I would just like to add Tim Westwood is 52 years old! 'Come on dawg'!! shouldn't be coming out of your mouth unless you are talking to an actual dog. Ha Ha!
BTW, did anybody catch the indirect comment aimed at Trevor Nelson and his recent divorce. If you didn't watch part one again and at around 3mins 25secs listen. DEEP!
*completely over 50's head!
X-Factor
Remember my post back in October about the X Factor when I predicted Olly Murs to win. Well, I guess that prediction is still on course.
His performances throughout this competition have been solid although the performance at the weekend wasn't overly great, but he is still in so good luck to him.
In all honesty Olly Murs doesn't deserve to win because he isn't the best singer, Joe is but I don't care because Joe's boring. So go Olly, Ha ha!
The man who did go at the weekend was Danyl Johnson, a good singer but a bit of a twat and obviously not liked by the public. Having said that he has also been very solid throughout the competition. He is a much better singer than Olly but he is very cocksure of himself. A trait which no doubt the public didn't like and in the end it saw him voted out.
Bye, bye Danyl!

The Industry hater is a wasteman
Apparently, the talk of someone being attacked for mistaken identity was a lie. It was one big publicity stunt.
Well it looks like he achieved what he set out to do. Because a lot of people and blogs including us have been talking about it.
So, from now on this will be my last post on the industry hater, I will not utter a word on this sad individual. Neither will I pay his tweets any attention.
Crate Diggin'
I personally haven't been 'diggin' or vinyl shopping for a long while possibly 6 months maybe more. However, watching these videos has re-ignited the love I have for vinyl.
I could be described as a collector of all genre's but I do have a hefty chunk of Hip Hop and Rare Groove records. Although, I am running out of space you can never have enough records, right?
Maybe I should ditch my plans for Xmas shopping and spend the day in a record shop somewhere.
Vinyl appreciation baby!
Kiss In Cities
Kiss In Cities are a duo made of Laura Marden and Joe Cross. They live in a red-brick townhouse in Manchester, where under the stars of one Englands most diverse musical cities they make synth drenched power-pop. Listening to them is like reading a diary on a packed dance-floor.
Their debut single 'U R My Girl' is out on December 14th and it sounds like the best 80's pop song never made combining Joe's glossy production with Laura's unrestrained vocal to wonderful effect. An instant anthem for a generation about girls who feel short-changed by the implausible feminisms of Beyonce or Britney, while at the same time also a gritty and sincere ode to a sister. The accompanying B side is a sumptuous slice of pop called Satellites.
U R My Girl will be released on December 14th through Seven Sevens as a limited 7" and as a digital download. To pre-order the single click here.

Industry Hater, what have you done?!
According to the Industry Hater's twitter page an unnamed individual was apparently assaulted yesterday. The individual was meant to have been mistaken for the annoying industry hater.
The Industry Hater has issued an apology:
'i would like to apologise to anyone who may have been affected and/or offended by comments posted under this alias.'
'due to the assault of an unnamed individual due to mistaken identity this alias and twitter account will cease to exist.'
A video apology/explanation will apparently be up later on the Industry Hater's youtube channel.
On a personal note I would just like to say the promoting of hate however in 'jest' should not be tolerated and won't be tolerated. The Industry Hater should never have existed and it had to take an assault for this stupid individual to realise. It should never have gone that far!
Let's keep it positive people.

His alternative take on Hip Hop is a breath of fresh air to the UK scene. With his unique flow and experimental beats it's not hard to see why we highly recommend him.
Ghostpoet recently featured on the Kweschu mixtape alongside the likes of The XX, DELS and The Invisible to name but a few. You can download that mixtape from Ghospoet's myspace so do check it out.
Ghostpoet is also featuring on the TOTR compilation album which is being released next week.

Industry Hater
Personally, the industry hater is starting to get a bit boring now a week is a long time on the internet and he is starting to become old news.
There's only so much 'parring' you can do. However, the part in this video where he talks about Ghetto spitting while he MCee's did make me chuckle.
You're on borrowed time mate, quit while you're ahead!

WTF!
Probably, one of the worse songs to have been made this year from two very credible artists. This is nothing more than mediocre and a touch cheesy.
Very dissapointing.
Opinions please.
Kosha - Old Skool
This tune is a banger, a straight up classic!!! UK artist Kosha is all set to release this single on November 30th!
So, make sure you go cop it and support his movement.
Industry Hater
Who is this person? Whoever this person is they are quite funny but very unnecessary.
Reveal yourself I say, better yet don't. Just come out from behind your computer and live your life it will make you a much happier person.

Chipmunk threatens suicide
Apparently, Chipmunk threatened to kill himself on twitter and even asked followers “Is suicide easy?
What ever he is going through I hope he get's well soon and stays positive. Remember people suicide is not the answer. Surround yourself with close family and friends and not people trying to hurt or exploit you! REAL TALK

Good luck.
Jay-Z – Empire State of Mind
It's Jay-Z tuesday today!!! Possibly the best track on a sub-standard BP3. May, I just add I don't think the track would have been this good if Alicia Keys didn't sing the hook, she is a beast on this!
BTW, when is a London rapper going to do their own version of this, 'Canary Wharf state of Mind' ha ha.
Jay-Z vs Beanie Siegel
Who's in the right? Could Jay-Z have pushed Beanie more? Is Beanie bitter? Has success got to Jay-Z, has he forgot his friends? So many questions not enough answers.
Opinions please.
