David Starkey's New Career

Yesterday, The Urbanite blogger Talal predicted that David Starkey's career was on the brink of ending after his Enoch Powell inspired rant on Newsnight on Friday night, in which he argued that black culture was the reason that white people joined in the London riots and that black people who spoke well 'sounded white'.

Well, it seems that those predictions were slightly premature.  It has come to our attention that Starkey has already reinvented himself as....wait for it....a rapper! Check out the video below and tell me that the guy doesn't have bars.

Tinie Tempah watch out, this guy is coming for your crown.....

Sick....

Choon of the Week!

"I don't even know what that means?!" "No one knows what it means but it's provocative, it gets the people going!"

With this week's news events being dominated by rioters, looters, stock market crashes and the never ending saga of Cesc 'will he just up and leave' Fabregas, it has been difficult for us at Team Urbanite to focus on the latest music developments on the scene.

Despite this, after much deliberation we at The Urbanite have finally managed to decide on our 'Choon of the Week'.

With Kanye West and Jay Z making musical history this week with the release of their much anticipated album 'Watch The Throne' it is only fitting and understandable that the big choon that we have blaring on our ipods and Blackberrys this week comes from this album:

On 'Niggas in Paris', 'Ye and Jay Z trade lyrical punches with 'Ye in our opinion coming out on top.  With this track by far being our favourite on the album, expect 'Watch the Throne' to go down as the hottest album of the year.  Until Drake drops 'Take Care'. Or J Cole finally releases 'Cole World'!

Anyway, Kanye and Jay definitely have us 'going gorillas' on this track and for that reason 'Niggas in Paris' is our 'Choon of the Week'.

Enjoy!
