Hip hop being chased by tinie ice cream.

Today's post might be a bit more mainstream,..It's going to be less about girls with guitars singing about long lost love and regretful moments and more about new era hip hop-ish guys with about the same problem =).

Oh and don't worry I haven't forgotten about adding some delicious make your tummy growl meal/food moments.

First of all let me start with food then move on to music. And also to add maybe to my really random things to put on a blogpost, I have lately been having an obsession with puns an stick figure drawings so I just might add that as well just to give you a bit more to think of.

So on to food now...hmmm...food...*drifiting off* .. oh right i'm still here...Well I haven't done any new meals nor have I bought something different. On top of it my veggie of the month has been put on hold so there's really nothing new to say. However, I did have the cutest smallest tiniest ice cream cone in the world and it was awesome..oh and not to change from subject but I just remembered something..I decided to create this album where you see me taking picture with very big objects that are meant to be small ..you'll see one day. Hmmm...so on to the ice cream again..ow yeah..so it's really tiny and its with chocolate so I suggest people to go roaming the city to find these adorable little thing and eat about 6 of them cause 1 just wouldn't be enough.

Now on to music.. This week is going to be about british hip hop. First song that I like is from this rising star called "Tinie Tempah" (now you will get my play on word of my title). He use to be very underground but has found his way to every music channel here. The song that I like about him aside from his awesome name that he apparently chose when he was 11 is " Written in the stars".  This song futures another artist called Eric Turner which actually completes the song because without his input it just might sound like another hip hop trend.

Like most hip hop artist nowadays they always start by writing about there hard knocklife and how they got to where they are today. So lyrics in this song are not as relevant to me as most but it's still a very nice and catchy song.

Second song is actually song I use to really love to listen to but then I forgot about it and ironically stumbled upon it when looking through a friends favorites on youtube again (maybe she knows who she is when she sees it)  ** Drum roll**... The song is called End credits  it's from chases & status ft. plan B. I found out about the song because it's a soundtrack form a movie called Harry brown (which I would definetly recommend people to watch but I won't make this blog about movies as well so i'll just move on now..)

But I must say that the movie is very touching and make you really want to punch some British punks (I apologize from now on if I offended a whole country/island). The song actually give you an empowerment and a feeling on what actually is going on through someone's mind and the anger that people have, not to get too serious with you people but it give you a sense of melancholy on how a person only lives to feel that they're about to die the moment they open their doors. Add the jogging pants and the phrase you twat or wanker and you got yourself a saddening image in your mind.

I choose this picture because I think it fully captures the idea of the song. The hoodie, the feel and the background of hanging out near a worn down tunnel for a living gives you the idea of what the artist is trying to bring forth.

Phew, that was alot of thinking for one day ..i'm off now..... till next time =)
