THE GAME, DR DRE, SNOOP IN THE STUDIO
SO DRE HAS FORGIVEN GAME!! THIS RECENT PHOTO APPEARED ON BOTH THE GAME, AND SNOOPS TWITTER PAGES, CLAIMING THEY WERE ALL PRESENT IN THE STUDIO FOR THE DETOX ALBUM. I WONDER HOW 50 FEELS ABOUT THIS??
DJ MK & DIZZEE RASCAL MTV/SHOWCASE BERLIN
Wow, think I've been to Germany about 9 times this year. On this occasion i was with Dizzee Rascal, for a live TV performance on MTV, and then onto a exclusive showcase for label bosses and journalists.
It was a early start (4.50 am) on route to my new favorite second home Terminal 5. Met up with big man Scope ( Dizzee's hype man) and we nearly missed our flight by 2 minutes, due to us risking a quick breakfast at Giraffe. Before we knew it we were in our hotel, and then straight to the MTV studios where we were rehearsing, then performing Bonkers. Doing live TV, especially one that goes out to over 80 million people is a buzz, but its also a lot of waiting around.
The performance went perfect then it was straight to the club to rehearse for the showcase later that night. The club had a good sound system, and before we new it, was RAM!!!
Dizzee killed it as he always does, as we went through some of the new album Tongue n Cheek. The energy was incredible and the crowd were going crazy. We bounced straight back tot the hotel, as by now it was 1am and every one had to be up at 5AM. Props to Dizzee. What people dont realise, is that this guy has been doing this solidly for the last 7 YEARS, with literally no days off. If anyones on his grind it's him. The video for Dirtee Cash ( the next single) is being shot today, so look out for the video in the forthcoming weeks.

R.I.P. Mr. Magic
From AllHipHop:
Legendary DJ Mr. Magic has died from a heart attack, AllHipHop.com has confirmed with various sources. Mr. Magic was a legendary DJ who debuted in 1979 on a pay-to-play broadcast on WHBI 105.9’s "The Mr. Magic Disco Showcase." In 1983, he launched "Mr. Magic's Rap Attack" in New York City with a young DJ Marley Marl in addition to future Co-Chillin Record label owner Tyrone “Fly Ty” Williams. Mr. Magic, born John Rivas, was also a co-founder of the legendary Hip-Hop collective The Juice Crew, which featured Biz Markie, Roxanne Shante, Marley, Marl, MC Shan, Craig G., Kool G.

Mr. Magic was featured as a DJ on 2002’s Grand Theft Auto’s fictitious radio station Wildstyle Pirate Radio.
A statement from DJ Premier:
I WANT TO SEND OUT THE UTMOST RESPECT AND CONDOLENCES TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN RIVAS—-aka MR. MAGIC
HE PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING OF A HEART ATTACK…..
TRUE HIP HOP HEADS KNOW THAT HIS HISTORY IS SO LONG DUE TO HIM BEING THE FIRST RAP MIXSHOW TO EVER BE ON COMMERCIAL RADIO ON NEW YORK’S WBLS–(107.5) WITH MARLEY MARL AND FLY TY IN 1982-1984…….THEN WENT ON TO WHBI IN OCTOBER OF 1984 AND THEN BACK TO WBLS in 1985 and WDAS in Philly SIMULTANEOUSLY
HE PAVED THE WAY FOR ALL RADIO STATIONS THAT EVER DID MIXSHOWS AND ALSO SPARKED THE CAREER OF BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS DUE TO THE DISS HE SHOWED WHEN THEY CAME TO SHOP THEIR DEMO TO HIM AND WAS TURNED AWAY WHICH THEN SPARKED “SOUTH BRONX” AND “THE BRIDGE IS OVER”…….
HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS DIRECT AND SARCASTIC ATTITUDE ON THE AIR AND EVERY ARTIST WANTED HIS APPROVAL WHEN IT CAME TO BREAKING NEW RECORDS……..HE EVEN HAD SONGS DEDICATED TO HIM BY THE LEGENDARY WHODINI–(”MR. MAGIC’S WAND”) WHICH WAS SURPRISINGLY PRODUCED BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS THOMAS DOLBY…….
SHOUTS OUT TO MARLEY MARL AND FLY TY FOR THE CORRECT INFORMATION ON THIS……
REST IN PEACE MR. MAGIC………….DJ PREMIER

THE NOBO'S
So i think everyone agrees that the Mobo's are a complete embarrassment.
There is SO much talent out there, yet the Mobo's continually FAIL on every level, in representing a true award show that reflects what people like and buy........ it's also such a shame that we let this event get away with it year after year!

GULLYVER LAST SATURDAY NIGHT @PLASTIC PEOPLE
So last saturday night, the legendary club night GULLYVER was back, after a 3 month break for the summer. What a party! If you were not there, you missed out big time. Our guest dj from Hong Kong, DJ Beware, tore it down alongside Josey Rebelle, myself and the A-Cyde.
As a Dj, it's most definatley my favorite spot to spin at, as the sound system is so good and clear, you can pretty much get away with playing anything, as long as you drop it at the right time....and of cource it's got to be good music.
Last saturday every thing was played from Bashment to Electro, Hip Hop to Pop, and Grime to Funk....and much much more...If you like good music and good vibes, make sure you reach the next one which is Saturday 31st october. Much love to everyone who came down last saturday... Heres some pix for you.
