Amerie

“Sky’s the limit but I ain’t done jumpin/ Money is fast but I ain’t done runnin/ Picture me dropping something wack / Picture me folding under pressure/ Picture that (I can’t ma).”

Amerie remixes – who wins? S dot Carter or E Vee E? I rate the Philly rapstress, and much prefer her rocking her tattooed tata’s over hardknock hip hop rather than lame-o Gwen Stefani singles, but you can’t knock the Roc or the hustle, even when it is an old verse. Gotta give this one to the man some call Hov!

Plan B

Guess part A f’ed up. Which is great news for us and our ears cos it means the world will one day be listening to a guy I know little about except he’s maybe 21, he’s from London, he plays guitar, he rhymes and he sings. Ripping mics apart with poetry that chucks you a chokehold, Plan B plays various characters; a 14 year old thugged out wannabe g one minute, a 19 year old statutory rapist the next. Don‘t want to pop your Plan B cherry prematurely so go check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/tracklistings/raskwame/rastracks.shtml and see what you think for yourself. Otherwise, wait till this stuff leaks/ goes official, cos this boy will blow. Blatant.
