We will not try and engage you on the growing number of gun-related teenage outrage that has dominated the American society for decades. We however will like to ask the question:
HAS AMERICA LOST THE GUN BATTLE?
Either it be Clinton, Obama, McCain, Thompson or Guiliani. The successor needs to address this. We are not American however this affects us all.
DECEMBER AND IT'S TAKINGS
Another sad black celebrity death hit us this morning. Pimp C (half of southern duo, UGK) was found dead in his Las Vegad Hotel Room. It is thought he died of natural causes.
We are no strangers to the often brutally cruel month of December. As most preoccupy themselves with Christmas shopping, an alarming number of ordinary people are coping with a loss. As we enjoy this festive season, please let us remember the thousands plagued with the feeling of emptiness.
May this Month bring us true joy!
Rest in Peace, Pimp C - we shall celebrate your life and work. Our hearts go out to the many UGK fans including ourselves.

TAMEKA GOT A BABY!
Wamp Wamp, Usher is a father. Sorry ladies (and men), your hopes are over as his wife Tameka is no joke, she'll take you to the dogs. Over a decade older than Usher, Tameka has stirred controversy since day one with the tabloid and rumor has it, Usher's Mother.
She delivered a baby girl on Monday Night and the pair are reported to be 'doing well'
Congratulations Ush. It's a long way from You make me wanna.............

WHY BOTHER?
Watching last night's Republican Candidates debate, it is clear none of the 10 (Tancredo, Mccain, Hunter, Keyes, Cox, Thompson, Romney, Giulliani, Huckabee, Paul) men have a clue on what to offer the American People. I'm not American but like to think I'm a fairly rational intellectual but no way jose this time around, it's the Democrats turn......you can't fool the world again!
Watch us do the Soul ja Boy Superman on Rudy Guiliani's candidacy.

LEGENDS: I GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YA
Does anyone remember the talented musicians called MN8? They were bigger than Oasis back in the early 90s with many many critically acclaimed albums under their belt.
Their combination of gyrating body movements and excessive somersaults left fans and critics alike, wanting more.
They were so huge they had a 'Period pain relief' drug named after them.
We salute you for your contribution to World Music. Your talent is unrivalled!
SOULJA BOY UP IN IT!
Can I remain a respectable 20-something professional whilst admitting that I'm obsessesd with the Soulja Boy - Crank Dat anthem? I mean trying to intellectualize/contextualize his lyrics leaves me with this -
Can you make any sense of this cause I certainly can't yet I find myself trying to fly whilst doing the "Superman" movements.
This is just plain ridiculous. This is worse than my obsession with Lil'Jon's Get Low - ski ski skiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Soulja Boy up in it (OH!)
Watch Me Crank It
Watch Me Roll
Watch Me Crank Dat Soulja Boy,
That Super Man Dat (OH!)
Now Watch Me Do
(Crank Dat Soulja)
Now Watch Me Do
(Crank Dat Soulja)

IRREPLACEABLE - COUNTRY STYLE
So there I was watching the 2007 American Music Awards getting extremely bored with the routine performances from many of American's finest including Maroon 5, Fergie and Rihanna. Until suddenly, my new favourite country duo (Oh yes I said it) Sugarland decided to do a rendition of Beyonce's Hit - Irreplaceable.
It was something else - you must judge for yourself!

BADGE OF HONOUR: ROC BOYS
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! It's so good to have Jay-Z back on form.
We have to confess the new single 'Roc Boys' rubs us the right way. The combine of cocky verbal assaults and insane Kanye production makes this tune a force to be reckoned with.
It's so addictive!
If you haven't heard the American Gangster soundtrack yet - you are doing yourself serious injustice.

SO SAD
NFL player Sean Taylor died a few hours ago.
So sad, he was only 24!
We will update you further shortly!
IS HE STILL SLICKER THAN YOUR AVERAGE?
Uncle Craig's new album hits the stores today and we have decided not to do a review of his 4th album. We want you to send in your observations on his most recent produce. We have to confess 'HOT STUFF' is rapidly growing on us.
We want to hear from you!
SAGGY JEANS
Okay.....I personally never thought this day would come where I would find the hip-hop culture of letting your jeans hang low cause me anguish but I'm tired.
I'm tired of girls showing their g-strings cause their jeans are too low.
I'm tired of skateboarders wearing their jeans low whilst wearing multi-coloured boxer shorts
I'm tired of greasy-looking students rocking this look that is as dated as the movie Clueless - az if!!
All around us are silly billys adopting this aging style and celebrating it like it's a badge of honour. This is stupidity of the highest order - we do not condone it and we certainly feel like the rest of the human race find nothing less amusing that the sight of a butt hanging out of ill-fitting trousers - trust me, THIS IS NOT A GOOK LOOK - WE WOULD KNOW.
In the words of Cher (from the Oscar-winning film) Clueless - I'm howdy!!!!!!!!!!

WHO IS DARREN B?
There is an unknown talent commanding a lot of MTV Base airplay at the moment. His name is Darren B - a young, black british singer/songwriter from East London. We have been hearing his single 'Stand by you' in recent weeks and we are almost shocked that this is a UK produce. This is prime R&B and we are very proud, indeed.
Here's an extract -
Anywhere you want, where you want to
go baby
Girl, I'll go with you
can depend on me
Yours truly
Girl I'll stand by you
Like i said from the start
I'm riding baby
Girl I'll ride with you
Even if you gain weight through stress
I'll stand by you
Please do everything you can to support - download, research, record purchase. This is brilliant!
You heard it hear first!

LIVE FROM THE O2 ARENA, LONDON
We are going to see Kanye (otherwise known as Kenny West) tonight at the O2 Arena, London.
This last minute development is courtesy of my fabulous cousin, Simsima. In true Renaissance Man style, trust us to update you on the highs, meltdowns and hopefully not, breakdown! There has been much talk about his emotional performance in Paris few days ago, we can't wait to see how he reacts to his London fans.
NANANANA IF THIS DON'T KILL ME, IT ONLY MAKES ME STRONGER.....LET'S GET LOST TONIGHT, YOU CAN BE MY BLACK KATE MOSS TONIGHT.......
How appropriate..........F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!
GOD NEVER LEAVES HIS OWN
Our father in heaven,
hallowed by your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those, who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
CAN SHE REALLY DO WHAT WE LIKE?
I'm really not too sure about this new 'solo' career of Ms. Pussycat Doll. Does it all seem like a mistake?
As inevitable as it was that she was eventually going to leave the 1 singer and 6 deranged dancers' group - it almost seemed like it came too quickly. Don't get me wrong we like all her acrobatic body-popping moves while we are 'loosing up her buttons' or 'telling her to wait a minute' but in her new promotional 'image' she's just 'baby loving baby love, you making the sun come up' , I mean WHAT?
Is it really a good move to launch a new image going completely against the grain of what people have come to expect from you. Can Nicole Schmiw......(whatever the spelling is) really be classy? Can she be allowed to be a grown artist? Do people really want to see this softer edge or do we just want the SLUT persona?
Please help me out here, I'm sure I ain't the only one feeling the mediocre vibe. The scariest part is she's probably reading scripts as we speak, she's probably going to venture into film as well.
Lord have mercy!
NEW UNIFORM
Every once in a while, we like to keep you informed on recommended trends on how to KEEP all the attention on yourself.
Today, we are biggin' up BOW TIEs. They are relatively misunderstood by many and are only wore for formal engagements by the average English man.
At Renaissance Man, we say you can wear it casually with a pair of jeans and a white shirt. You can rock this look to a nightclub and test the reaction. Believe us, it will be one of admiration.
Also, try bright colours. They carry more weight!
THE 100TH POST: IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE...
This Morning, I'd like you to take 2 minutes out of your time irregardless of how busy you are and send a text, call or email someone that you care about.
Don't think about it, just DO it!
Call you mama, call you partner, call your long-time friend, just DO it!
You have no idea what impact you voice could have on their soul at this very given moment.

BADGE OF HONOUR: DAVID GRAY'S BABYLON
There are a couple of greatest hits out there that are worthy whilst others are just pure hysterical. One which stands out is from 'genius' David Gray. We honestly believe he's one of the greastest songwriters of our generation. Please please please go out and buy this album.
If you haven't heard of David Gray, he's a verse from one of his classics - BABYLON.
Also watch - www.youtube.com/watch?v=ria8GSCFDdk
We salute your courage!

Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To tell you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
Also watch - www.youtube.com/watch?v=ria8GSCFDdk
We salute your courage!
KING ROGER
Please tell us you saw the Masters Series Final in Shanghai, last night.
The man-of-all-men, King Roger Federer put critics to sleep with his genius display of champion supremacy.
The frightening fact is he's only 26!
His fiance is laughing all the way to the bank like 50. You know you gon' hit Rodeo Drive in a few days - just to update her old Balenciaga!
As you do!
