Flackback Friday #00166 – Get Rich or Die Tryin’

The 50 Cent Album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rocketted, 50 Cent and G-Unit into the limelight. Still now more than 10 years later people are still banging it in the clubs. For someone who has been shot in the face his pronunciation is very clear which makes him more commercially acceptable than some of the other hip hop stars..

There were plenty singles released from this album, a little something for most..

In Da Club

P.I.M.P. (feat. Snoop Dogg, G-Unit) [Snoop Dogg Remix]

21 Questions (feat. Nate Dogg)

2015 Elections – Why you MUST Vote..

There are many reasons why young people don’t vote but here are the two that I believe are the main ones:

1. Young people are lazy, I should include myself in this even though most of you would probably say I’m not so young anymore.
2. Politicians are liars, there is no reprimand for them not delivering on their promises so why wouldn’t they be? I’d tell you that I’ll make bacon cheeseburgers and gyms free if I was a politician. That would bring in the votes!

However, you HAVE to vote and these are the two reasons:

1. You don’t get to bitch about the government, if you don’t vote, you don’t get to bitch, simples!
2. You don’t want UKIP to win, if you don’t vote they have more opportunity to win

Polling is on Thursday the 7th May 2015, get yourself down there they are open all day and night, you don’t have any excuses!!

Flashback Friday #00165 – The UK Usher Remixes

I don’t know how many of these uk remixes are official, but there’s gotta be something here to get your head nodding.

Usher Raymond is big in the game in his own right, but these producers took the tumes to the next level for me..
Trading Places (Monk & Prof Remix)

Scream (Exemen Remix)

Numb (Mike Delinquent Remix)

FlashBack Friday #00164 – Collie Buddz

White on the outside but black on the inside, the first Collie Buddz album “Collie Buddz” was a solid offering that came out the blue, but made a lot of ripples in the world of reggae..

Lent 2015..

I believe that you should give up something that you will find hard to do without for lent to be doing it properly.

As a self-confessed crisp junkie the obvious choice is for me to give up crisps.

I could live without biscuits and chocolates forever but crisps? Hell to the no!!

Someone asked me if pretzels counted, yes of course they do they are part of the crisp family in my eyes.

I asked if those nuts covered in crisp counted (as they are 80% nut and 20% crisp but they said yes so they are also off the menu.

Lent is actually from the 18/02/2015 to the 02/04/2015, this is actually 46 days but depending on where you come from Sundays may not be counted (bringing it back down to 40 days).

Even though my faith is quite ropey at times, I still think I should try and make an effort so I will be doing the full 46 days with no days off, because you should go hard or go home!!

So while you are all sitting at home eating pancakes, have you considered what you are giving up for lent?

Or are you just taking the good and leaving the bad?

FlashBack Friday #00163 – Neptunes Remixes

The Neptunes have the Midas touch when it comes to production.
I always know when Neptunes is on the buttons because I’ll hear a song by someone who hasn’t really impressed me yet and I will think this is the game changer for them.

They have done a lot of music so I thought I’d start with other peoples remixes..

Britney Spears – I’m A Slave 4 U

Snoop Dogg – Signs (feat. Justin Timberlake and Charlie Wilson)

Gwen Stefani – Hollaback girl

Flashback Friday #00162 – 80’s Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston
Sunrise: August 9, 1963
Sunset: February 11, 2012

Undoutedly one of the strongest voices of my lifetime, very few people attempt Whitney song on those horrible talent shows because they are heading for a fall because they have been performed by her so well.

She has made so much good music it was hard to pick just 3 so I stayed in the 80s and gave it a bash..
Greatest Love of All

How Will I Know

I Wanna Dance With Somebody

FlashBack Friday #00161 – Heavy D

Heavy D
Sunrise: May 24, 1967
Sunset: November 8, 2011

The overweight, light skinned lover had a unique flow and featured on a lot of tracks from a lot of other people, here’s the 3 of his I play the most..

Now That We Found Love (feat. Aaron Hall)

Big Daddy

Black Coffee

FlashBack Friday #00160 – 90s Pop Girl U.KG

Quite a few 90’s girl power pop stars got involved in UK Garage, some of it was not so good, but some of it was ok..

Here’s some classics:

Tin Tin Out – What I Am [K Warren Remix]

True Steppers – Out Of Your Mind (feat Dane Bowers & Victoria Beckham)

Artful Dodger – Twentyfourseven (feat. Melanie Blatt)

FlashBack Friday #00159 – M People

I think everyone like to give the Heather Small voice a bash when an M People song comes on. It’s so unique and it sounds so easy but I bet we all sound horrible..

Here’s another chance to give it a go..

Moving on Up

One Night in Heaven

A sight for sore eyes
