This is my Mobos round up. Basically all the things that were worth noticing-
a big performance from tinchy (unless your epileptic)
the presenter (Kerri Hilson) winning an award, presenting the whole show, and performing on the night then having a pretty boring performance.
N-Dubz winning best album! and best UK act
Chipmunk winning best hip hop over eminem and kanye (bout time UK artists started taking awards from a UK event)
Kerri Hilson saying she didnt realise British men could turn her on (parred the majority of the audience)
the random greek conversation between dappy and peter andre
Chipmunks performance was good, apart from him bringing back the turtle neck tops lol.
Peter Andre talking to tinchy and saying 'you gone from being an underground grime artist to a proper pop star'
The dumb dancers bringing up the results (it just felt awkward)
N-dubz performance (the dancers were jokes)
Stephen K Amos not being able to find where the result was written when announcing the winner
Mr Hudson turning up to perform. Im glad he aint let working with kanye get to his head and made him think he too big for it.
The Diversity was big!
The 'young soul rebels' performance of i got soul. Surely a number 1
Overall this was a better year for the MOBOS. It seems they are realising that the UK has talent here and its a waste of time giving awards to americans who dont turn up. Maybe a best Grime act will soon come. I doubt it tho
In terms of hip hop in the UK there aint a great deal that excites me these days, particulaly with new artists. This kid has changed all that tho. to be fair he came onto my radar about a year and a bit back when he featured on a CD made by a producer called 'Forbidden tounges'. The CD got reviewed in HHC Magazine (RIP) and Chronicle got much deserved rave reviews. Have a listen to him. He has got an immense flow and bars. Definatly rating him loads.
If you like what you hear then keep an eye out on the 'Dont flop' battles cos he features on them and also he has a mixtape floating about. ill see if i cna get links and stuff
You know what.....Fumin is probably one of my top 5 mcs out there at the minute. I dont give a f**k what anyone else thinks. He has got bars! this tune proves it. big big tune. I might even compile a list of my top 5 Mcs. Im sure it will cause a bit of debate. Anyway this is big. Enjoy it
