RADIO HIT SHOW (S2 E1): ILLEGAL MUSIC 2 FALLS SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS

Sup Folks!

 

When an artist puts out greatness like "Illegal Music 1", it is always a struggle to beat such greatness. Michael Jackson died trying to beat Thriller's record, it never happened. "Illegal Music 2" in my opinion will forever be in the shadow of Illegal "Music 1". That said…

Now fasten your seat belts as we are about to go on full throttle, with the songs reviewed this week.

1) Dammy Krane – My Dear

2) Teeto Ceemos featuring Shank – Go Down

3) M.I featuring Ruby & Show Dem Camp – Heart Of The City

4) Flowsickk featuring K-Switch, Ice Prince & Shank – Low Key (Remix)

5) Muna featuring IBK – Here To Stay

DAVID BECKHAM, CRISTIANO RONALDO, LIONEL MESSI OTHERS MAKE THE HIGHEST-PAID FOOTBALLER LIST

From their weekly earnings, endorsements and probably private businesses, Forbes brings you the list of top ten highest paid footballers.I still have a little problem with Samuel Eto'O's missing name, though to compile the list, they looked through commercial sponsor filings and spoke with talent agencies and soccer experts in the U.S. and Europe. All earnings are in U.S. dollars for salaries, incentives and sponsorship income earned in the 2011 calendar year.The top 10:
1.David Beckham, Los Angeles Galaxy ($46 million)2.Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid ($42 million)3.Lionel Messi, Barcelona ($39 million)4.Wayne Rooney, Manchester United ($24 million)5.Kaka, Real Madrid ($21 million)6.John Terry, Chelsea ($18 million)7.Yaya Toure, Manchester City ($18 million)8.Fernando Torres, Chelsea ($17 million)9.Frank Lampard, Chelsea ($16 million)10.Steven Gerrard, Liverpool ($16 million)

PHOTO OF THE DAY: CHRISTIAN COMBS, SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS' 14 YEAR OLD MODEL SON

He's clean, fresh and got so much swag (even though I don't like using that word). This is Christian Combs; Sean 'Diddy' Combs' 14-year-old son whom he just made an ambassador of his fashion line; 'The Sean John Boys spring / summer collection.The good looking dude will thus follow the footsteps of musicians
such as Nelly, Busta Rhymes, and Ralph Lauren, model Tyson Beckford who have headlined the brand in the past.I just hope in the next six months we don't hear stuffs like 'Christian's sex tape', scandals and all

FUNKE AKINDELE, FATHIA BALOGUN, ODUNLADE ADEKOLA OTHERS NOMINATED IN THE YORUBA MOVIE ACADEMY AWARDS (YMAA)

13 categories have been created for the maiden edition of the Yoruba Movie Academy Awards (YMAA) which is billed to take place at the Cultural Centre, Kuto, Abeokuta next month.

Aimed at celebrating outstanding artistes in the Yoruba movie industry, the awards is bankrolled by the Ogun State government and spearheaded by Tunde Oshinibosi also known as Laface.
This list is one of the toughest I've seen in a while. For example, the nominees for the best actor and actress in lead roles are all excellent in their rights but only two (for each category) will wear the caps, let's wait till the judges decide who these caps fit.
