Wiley and co. continue music's new fascination with auto-tune :-(
On the first listen I was giving Wiley a serious side-eye, but after a few plays its grown on me. I still don't love it but I think it's Ghetto's appearance that makes me able to listen to the song at all .
And is it me or does this video look like its a really funny skit about grime artists'?

Rapex is a anti-rape condom, worn by women premeditatively. It has barbs on it so that during an attack, the barbs get stuck on the male genitalia and they are only removal by a doctor.
Err...I have a few questions:
When and how often do you actually wear this?
What if the attacker gets pissed and tries to kill you?
What if the barbs get stuck in you?
Are we really going to call this invention 'Rapex'??
And surely if the barbs are stuck on his penis the rape has already happened, has'nt enough trauma occured? Unless you warn the guy ahead of time 'Hey if you do that you are gonna get barbs stuck in your dick."
Hmm...I'll just stick with the killer moves I learnt from Bruce Lee, thanks.
In attempts to end the bootlegging and the resale of his illegally placed street pieces, BANKSY, has created an official certification board to authenticate his artworks prior to resale...No, I'm not joking. Named 'Pest Control', the Banksy-appointed committee has declared that all major resellers of his work must consult them first before any secondary market work can be considered truly authentic. A member of Banksy’s camp stated, 'The works are made for specific sites, and taking them is tantamount to theft. That is why Banksy has approved this authentication system. He certainly doesn’t want the people who’ve removed them making money out of it'.
This decision comes after three inauthentic works attributed to Banksy went on sale at Bloomsbury Auctions in London without prior certification.
Powerful, disturbing and moving in equal measure, 2005's acclaimed "Kidulthood" took us deep into London's unseen underbelly, delivering a raw, hard-hitting reflection of what life is like for 21st century teenagers, where sex is currency, drugs are easy to come by and violence is a way of life. Six years after Sam Peel is released from jail for killing Trife, he soon realises that life is no easier on the outside than it was on the inside and he's forced to confront the people he hurt the most. Some have moved on, others are stuck with the repercussions of his actions that night, but one thing's for certain - everyone has been forced to grow up. Through his journey Sam struggles to deal with his sorrow and guilt and something else he didn't expect - those seeking revenge. As he's pursued by a new generation of bad boys, Sam sets about trying to get the message across to his pursuers that they should stop the violence, much like Trife tried to tell him all those years ago. Can Sam stop the cycle of violence and make something positive from the destruction he caused or will his journey into Adulthood end here? A positive tale disguised in the bleakness of its environment, Adulthood pushes home the moral lesson that crime doesn't pay. - Official press release info.
