BADGE OF HONOUR - VERSE OF THE DAY

UGK ft. Outkast - International Players' Anthem (I Choose you)

Andre 3000's verse -

"So, I typed a text to a girl I used to see
Sayin that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC'd every girl that I'd see see round town and
I hate to see y'all frown but I'd rather see her smiling
Wetness all around me, true, but I'm no islandPeninsula maybe, makes no sense I know, crazy
Give up all this pussy cat thats in my lap no lookin back
Spaceships dont come equipped with rearview mirrors
They dip as quick as they can
The atmosphere is now ripped
Im so like a Pip, Im glad its night
So the light from the sun would not burn me on my bum
When I shoot the moon high, jump the broom
Like a premie out the womb
My partner yellin "Too soon! Dont do it! Reconsider!Read some litera - ture on the subject
You sure? Fuck itY
ou know we got your back like chiroprac - tic
If that bitch do you dirty we'll wipe her ass out as in detergent"

THERE'S ONLY ONE AMY

Amy is rumored to be a potential front runner at next years' grammy awards. She's tipped to be nominated for 8 gongs for her brilliant 'Back to Black' album.

They can try to tarnish her talent but the girl is certainly riding high. No Pun intended!

GROWN MEN'S HEROES

Now, I disagree with the concept of only young people need role models. I strongly believe that as you get older, you should admire and mimic certain work ethic, drive and ambition.

My heroes are Roger Federer and Tiger Woods.

Great men, great accomplishments, great work ethics, great principles....should I go on. I will celebrate these men as often as possible. They have left their mark, it's time for us to leave ours - whatever it is.

WE PREFER THE OLD CRAIG....

I saw the new Craig David video for his new single 'Hot Stuff' this morning. Sadly, the song ain't so hot and Craig needs to lay off those steroids. The man has no neck any more. It's like his head is trying to break out of the body.

The song is pretty forgetful although I'm sure by the times the radio leeches get their claws on it, we probably be all humming to it. It's also got a sample of the very familiar 'Let's Dance' by David Bowie recently sampled by Puff Daddy ft. Mase 'Been around the World'

What ever happened to the simplicity of 'Seven days', 'Fill me in' and 'Walking away'?I'm not a music critic but surely the A&R guys at his record label understand this. Everyone is always looking for the 'a new sound', it's all bollocks at the end of the day if one can do something well, get better at doing just that.

TRAGEDY

It brings great discomfort whenever I think of this image and the trails and tribulations of this fallen star. We all recall her remarkable achievements at the 2000 Olympics. We all celebrated her many triumphs, just to think all of that has been rubbished by her admitting to using performance-enhancing drugs. She's handed over all her Olympic medals and winnings.

What she gon' do now? What exactly can she do?

This is just TRAGIC!

TOM FORD - WE SALUTE!

We are big fans of Tom Ford. The one time head of the Gucci Group.

We are big fans of his sunglasses line - perhaps because we can't afford anything else in his LA flagship store.

ALICIA KING

Alicia Keys is Back. Alicia Keys is Back.

No One is on repeat on my MP3. I have read many interviews with the lady in many publications and my conclusion is - she's royalty.

We bow at your talent, your grace, your gift and your approach to your work.

PLASTIC COUPLE OF THE BLACK RACE

They've come a long way. My niece asked if she could have this for Christmas. My response was ..............................

IS THIS A CAREER MOVE?

Help me out here....................

WHAT DOES A GIRL HAVE TO DO TO GET SOME ATTENTION!

Hello World,

As we all know Ms Kelly Rowland was bumping-us-like-this during the summer months. Unfortunately, the rest of her self-titled album hasn't been 'bumping' up the album charts. Sorry, CORRECTION - it has sank without trace. When I was a little younger, we use to have debates on who was our favorite destiny child. I've always stood by my love for Ms. Knowles, which leaves me wondering. Where are all the Ms Rowland fans? I know a lot of people had her back then, mostly women (members of the I hate Beyonce fan club). The reality is, music will override sentiments and quite frankly Ms Kelly just ain't putting out groundbreaking music. Period!
