Ah bwoy, what do we have here? Brick and Lace? How much they paying then? No MTV Base nomination? Is that because UMAs went around saying they had them as sponsors before being outed on Twitter and threatened with legal action?

Explain this Most Inspirational Act category to me. I'm left slightly (I say slightly but I really mean completely) baffled about the possible criteria. Dealt with Brick and attach it to a Lace then dash it in a river. But Princess Nyah? Bahahahahahahha *inhales* aahahahahhahahaha. VV Brown? The Noisettes? You've got to be 'aving me on. I hope the "presenter" of the award will open the envelope then look in to camera B before saying "SYKE". LOLZ all around

Lol @ UMAs really thinking they will have a crowd. This needs to be held in a lesuire centre or someones house with Ustream or even a shed. I really cannot see this working after the much-publicised stabbing last year. In fact, Form 696 should just save the awards embarrassment and cancel it.

FAO organiser of UMA's: write a letter to the Form 696 people. May gain some sympathy. Failing that, hold it in a living room, have a couple bredrins in the back sharing a big bowl of fufu, playing dominoes (reppin the Yardman and Africans) & pick the winners from a dutch pot.

Ratings for what you tried last year still. It was going alright for an alternative, no frills version of MOBOs, but mm mm (said quickly = disaproval) this nah mek it. Surry barsss (sorry boss).

  1. You know what? As I read them nominations my eyebrows had a frenzy.... They went up and down so often I'm thinking I may as well audition for the next Cadbury's advert!!

    I would go through each category and point out the flaws but I'd be writing another blog post myself but I will say this: I hope you copied and pasted this list because 'BBE' - Too Many Man?? Well I wonder what that's supposed to mean? Boy Better Eat? Boy Better Educate? Who knows!?

    But I agree, after last year, UMA should just put their awards in a cabinet cause I surely won't be attending!! (Who with half a brain cell and lack of a death wish would?)

    Where is this Form 696 when we need it!!??

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

Why Cheetah Woods, whhyyyy?!?!?!

We must all know about the predator nyamin woman (no bowcat reference intended - or am I lying? *shudders*). Anyone heard the voicemail he left for the girl he's been PARrin (there was a golf reference there) his wife with? Easy now my selekta as we rinse some tunes for di one name Tiger. Man like him doesn't know how to play. (By The Endz not Ruff Sqwad) How you gonna leave a voicemail for a girl with your real name at the beginning? Do you want to be held to ransom? Man from 'the ends' know (in the words of Kano) "That's slippin'!" And when isht hits the fan (like it has) he's buggered. Not something I deal in but surely the point of cheating is for an assortment of ladies. All his ones look the same; blonde, no breast nor batty. Rachel Uchitel bawlin at the scene of 9/11 where her man (fiancee/boyfriend/husband) died The chick whose sold his voicemail on and can be heard above The wifey (why cheat on her with the ones above I'll never kno

Remember When Riddims Were King

Before you read, thank you for your interest and hope you enjoy. I actually fleshed it out into a book. You can get your copy from www.nolongstories.com   Now for what you came here for... When Riddims Were King 23rd May 2020 will be remembered in history for one of the most epic events in one of our universe's darkest times. We will never forget the night dancehall kings and former extremely heated rivals, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, battled on the Verzuz platform built by hall-of-fame producers, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. An unfiltered, 360-degree view on Jamaican dancehall events was showcased; DJ’s and dancing (Beenie Man’s daughter Desha Ravers) to deejay’s clashing on the same riddims. The latter elements provided the jewels in the night’s highlight reel, and undoubtedly the best thing to happen on the Verzuz series. Word spread like guava jelly within the dancehall community and Jamaican diaspora upon announcement. Not only was it a clash between the longest and fier
