Pimpin’ Point (Pt.2)

One of the most anticipated hip-hop video this year - "Ipohmali" was officially released on the 9th April, 5 days after my first pimpin' on his Ipohmali from "Str8 To The Point" album. I even made an unofficial (fan-made) MV prior to that. Have a peek and bookmark that clip especially ya'll peeps hollerin from Ipoh. Be proud cos Ipoh have got an anthem of their own now! I'm lil' bit down South Perak, but I tumpang happy too cos I have lived in Ipoh for a couple of years during my college...

Pimpin’ Point (Pt.1)

I reminisce back in during the Poetic Ammo days during my college years blasting my speakers to 'Kuala Lumpur', 'Kam Sang Tah Kong Chai', 'Vallavan' and 'Peluru Puitis' imitating Yogi's beatboxing and Point's Chinaman emceeing skills that rocked the nation's hip-hop scene after a hiatus in absence. The beats are fresh and the music is mature. It was about the same time I get to know Wu-Tang Clan, and it was just right to have known them while I delve deep into the territories of rap and...

Boyz II Genting II

(This is the continuity of this post) Boyz II Men did well in Genting entertaining a horde of die hard fans of theirs as well as fans of R&B music. Here are some exclusive pics from Genting's Arena of Stars during their performance last weekend. Even though they are down to three, their performance is still best as always. They sang songs like "Mama" and "End of The Road" sending all those lovebirds down to an intimate smoochie session! Surprisingly the VIPs & the Datins enjoyed...

Boyz II Genting

Boyz II Men in Genting's Arena of Stars! Argghh..feck! Only lately many international R&B/rap artists are allowed to perform in Malaysia (I guess) as the government are more relaxed about the rules of foreign artists performing in Malaysian soil. Government used to hate urban music (especially rap) cultures in Malaysia. And since deathmetal & blackmetal cults are emerging & in their 'life threatening' glory, the government has forgotten about urban music culture & diverted...

Xmas Tune: Classic vs Modern

Growing up with Jingle Bells and Rudolph The Red Nose Raindeer and the likes of it, I got tired and bored with all those old classics with traditional churchy feel. I ain't religious nor I am a church person but my taste of music determines everything, even up to my selection of X'mas songs. I have long revolted and discarded old classic Xmas song with modern R&B/pop X'mas tunes (new and remake). If you are keen for a change, try these tracks below and let new tunes change your Xmas...

Tribute To Gerald Levert

I was shocked to have found out that Gerald Levert had died from heart attack in his sleep just a while ago via an R&B blogger and CNN. Gerald Levert was one of American R&B legend that hailed from the group, LSG ("Round & Round", "My Body"), a popular R&B band from the 80's that consists of bandmates - Keith Sweat ("Twisted", "Nobody") and Johnny Gill ("My, My, My", "Quiet Time To Play") who paved their way into R&B's phenomenal scene in the late 80's to this...

Hearts Old Skool R&B

Warning: This post contains some Youtube clips that might consume your bandwidth. Sigh, today I'm gonna be a bit melancholic, strolling down memory lane. Many of you surely reminisce the sweet ol' 80's where every kids were carefree even there were no broadband internet and techy gadgets and toys. I was born in the late 70's and the 80's was my prime era of growing up. Loved the cartoons, the soaps, the music, the school, the toys...damn, puppy loves too? As many of you know that...
