The Making of Don't Hold Your Applause

The beauty of YouTube. I watched a Wale interview and forgot to close the video and went to watch Match Of The Day. After almost falling asleep (long day), I came back to my laptop and the Wale interview was still up. YouTube suggested a few related videos, I get to this one eventually. I find out my favourite intro to appear on an album in 2011 was supposed to be a on a mixtape released in 2010.

Tone P is a real talent. Listen to the finished product below.

Lost Pics and Random Sh!t

I was going through my computer and my phone the other day, and thought these pics needed to be shared with others. A lot of them I thought I had deleted it, so I was pleasantly surprised to still see them. Warning: Some of these pictures are completely random.

Looks like someone just came home.

2 Peas In A Pod- Classic, I had to stay behind and capture the moment.

Lazy Journalism. He actually is 29, but The Sun thought as he is Nigerian.... well you know the rest.

.

Midget sized bottle of Dettol. If life is rough, and you cannot get access to pills, graze your knee,pour the whole bottle on the cut and you might do some serious damage.

Rise And Grind. I understand the need to advertise, but a little compassion

here would not have gone amiss. The poor guy only had a t-shirt and some headphones in his ear. I hope whatever music he was listening to that day, was real motivational.

Shitto, I was not bored at the time. I had to verify something with my brother.

Suarez. Full time striker, part time goalkeeper. If this guy ever happens to get lost in Ghana or North London, it will be a wrap for him.

Lyon's Miralem Pjanic. The 20 year old is one of the most technically gifted players in European football right now. Mark my words. He WILL be a worldwide superstar in years to come.

5 Things On My To Do List

#1. Get some real revision done, that is imperative at this moment in time. Real talk, I have to do a lot more.

No, I do not have a fringe, nor am I a woman. Google Images baby.

#2. To not worry about Arsenal's season, if they don't care why should I.

#3. Go back to Marc by Marc Jacobs, need to replace a few things.

#4. Stop getting sucked in by Tesco Buy One Get One Free offers. The amount of times I walk in to buy a pizza and a juice, and come out with extra bottles of water and spare lightbulbs.

#5. Buy Pilot Talk. Been waiting for a little while. 

Tense Times

Any how Nestlè have gone and messed up the great taste with this 'new recipe'.

Tense times indeed. By the way my cereal game is a lot, don't try it please. Everyday for about as long as I can remember, even lunch sometimes.

Golden Balls

Golden Balls is a show on ITV, if you don't know about it you should get involved asap. Just check the video!

His reaction is priceless

Dont trust anyone

Creating Everything, Except The Detox

Dr Dre is making everything these days, his most renowned creation to some people maybe Beats By Dre headphones (you've probably seen them in a lot of music videos, the sound quality is a lot of stuff).

To others it may have been his albums The Chronic, or The Chronic 2001.

Now back to the matter at hand my man has now hooked up with HP to produce a laptop called "HP Beats Audio".

Check the advert

Unfortunately the laptop is only available is America, however I assume it will be avaliable

for purchase some time soon.

I just hope that his very long awaited album "The Detox" drops soon as I have been waiting for a little while.

Peace

Dr Martens

Dr Martens.... The first thought that used to come to mind, were of some dead boots that looked like bricks/tanks/weights or any other object associated with being hefty and chunky! In recent times they've become more common and I must say my view has changed from it being a weapon of mass destruction, to something when dropped correctly, completes an outfit.

In recent times Dr Marten has produced a shoe for Royal Mail.

The shoe looks solid, I just hope they are comfy and do not prevent our mail from being delivered as they strike as much as it is.

The Past Week

Music- Lil' Wayne not going to jail. The Young Money leader was expected to be sentenced on Tuesday due to his second degree attempted gun possession charge, stemming from an arrest in 2007. However sentencing was delayed, because of 'dental surgery'. Considering the weekend before his court date, he shot 10 videos over a weekend, I believe the Carter V will done in about an hour or so.




Music- A big video dropping this past week featuring some UK heavyweights. Sincere just dropped a decent little club banger featuring Scorcher, G FrSH, Ghetts, Little Dee, & Wretch 32. Directed by Jak FrSH.

Fashion- The sad news, that fashion icon Alexander McQueen took his own life this week. Tributes have been pouring in all over the world, from his peers and consumers that were in love with his daring designs. Rest In Peace

Sport- Kwame Nkrumah Acheampong is the one man Ghana Ski team at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.


I don't know what is worse, that he IS THE Ghana Ski team, or that he is called the Snow Leopard, I mean look at his bodysuit.

Yeah Baby!

Boy, I'm about to be on my Diddy ish. Everywhere and everywhere. No more neglect, not from me anyway. Matty needs to go Brooklyn sometime soon. Anyways, them things are in place now. Let madness commence.

'Dunking On A Reindeer'

If you didn't know, Nike have a running basketball ad campaign where Kobe and Lebron are puppets. There are a whole bunch of vids online, but this one is about Santa (KRS-One) and the MVPuppets being challenged by the cocky Blitzen (Lupe Fiasco) and his team. Very funny, especially the chopped n screwed bit at the end.

Tis The Season To Be Jolly

If it has ever been the season to be jolly it is truly now with "snow falling all around us, children playing having fun" (literally) a few days prior to Christmas all is looking well and a white Christmas is on the cards. Upon my travels today, whilst not trying to slip on the icy roads of Colchester I came across a limited edition pack of Oreo's

They look exactly as they do on the box, unlike your usual Mcdonalds advert where your shown a cheeseburger with perfection, and when you buy it, it looks like some one was playing with lego!

If you are to come across them, be sure to purchase and share them as there are 8 in the pack plus it is that "festive season"?

Peace

5 Things I Can't Get My Head Round

#1.Them X factors parasites still being there and having a chance of winning.

#2. Thierry Henry potentially ruining his reptuation over the blatant 'handball' which set up the goal that sent France to South Africa and Ireland packing, because of a split second, may be viewed as cheat on these shores for ever. So sad

#3. This wolfboy vampire rubbish, 'Twilight' that has girl of all ages swooning and is going to take over the world for the next two weeks. Its not even the attention of the girls that bothers me, I just think everyone is gassed up off the hype.

#4. Can't believe a 50 Cent album came out with such little fanfare, the video with Ne-Yo dropped like a day ago and there (well for me anyway) has no been no presence virally or on the airwaves. Really thought Interscope would push it back again. I've checked 'Before I Self Destruct' is really out. No really it is.

#5. Was about to go with the fact 2009 is almost over but I have and I am sure you will have heard about the Beyonce featuring Gaga 'Video Phone' clip. Madness.

Who Says?

Random I know, but a great song from a great musician. I bring to you John Mayer and 'Who Says'. Enjoy.

African Stanky Legg?

Yeah this random I know, but this little boy has some moves.

No lie. Lol at the all-in-one swagger and the chickens running around. What do you lot think, a lot of stuff? Or just average?

Money To Blow

With student loans dropping any day now, some people might be going over hard in the first few weeks of term. I'm thinking we might see a lot of Plaid/Check shirts, Vans, beanie & wooly hats and jeggings on campus.

I know uni is uni, but don't go too hard on the alcohol, because memories (not including your own) and Facebook can be a bitch. You've been warned.

A Night With The Gunners

Been away for a while, went to see the Gooners midweek against West Brom.

Decent game, good atmosphere, parking in North London on matchdays, madness just ask Ade.

Nosebleed seats, I know but still a lot of stuff. And we won as well.

Same Name, Same Stage.

I was listening to 'Hello Brooklyn' earlier and I thought of this.

Two of the best to do it. Wayne saying 'Best Rapper Alive, Next Rapper In Line'. Nice.

Back Like I Never Left

Hey Nu World, I know I've become a lazy blogger but it's not my fault my laptop went AWOL on me and I'm waitng for HP to send it back! Furthermore my time has been consumed by unforseen circumstances aka I'm back in employment!

But after a brief hiatus I'm here to let you know I'm back like I never left watch this space closely.

I believe I have got some serious material and you'd be silly to not have a look.Thanks to the people who have been commenting and taking time to appreciate the posts. One more thing its not Denté it's Danté but no hard feelings!

Back To School

School starts next week for most, and I was just thinking of a few things about my experience of secondary school. True stories by the way:

• Wallabies being the shoe every boy was on (even girls, you should be pissed looking back) I was not involved. Didn't feel them.
• Hating Kickers shoes, too much hype. Can't go wrong with Ravel & Barratts.
• I remember them bright NBA Champion Jackets. Had a Orlando Magic one myself. Long time ago lol.
• Writing in your books for the first time.
• Waiting 3 months before my loafers started leaning to one side. And there would be bare rocks in my shoes. Bare.

Not eating lunch, going to the ice cream van and buying Strawberry Jelly & Ice Cream Panda Pops (where are they now?) and kicking ball. Everyday day, without fail.

What do you think of when you think of school?

Blame It On The Boogie

Feeling kinda random just thought I would share this with you lot.

I know it happened in America lol but this can't be real.

Some guys were about repo some serious MJ fan's car and around the 1.50 mark,things got emosh.

Nu World what do you lot think, real or not?

He actually kicked his arse. LMAO
