Friday 22nd June

Today twenty billboards will be going up in Chicago disrespecting artists that supposedly rap negatively about women and promote violence. Some of the billboards like the one below have already been posted up on buildings for all to see. What do you lot think about this? I think it’s a bit of a liberty.

Thursday 21st June

Okay, I understand that its impossible for ladies to look hot EVERYDAY. Even superstars like Kelly Rowland & Beyonce seem to be havin trouble staying perfect lookin...



We also found this picture of Michelle



Cant wait to see the artwork for the new DC Album.

Tuesday 19th June

Had a well deserved week-off last week. Shout out to MistaJam for holding down the show for us. Anyway didnt do alot with my time off but I did watch alot of telly and I have ONE question. Which is the most Scary?

Tuesday 5th June

This is not a cheap shot or meant to be taken to offence by any new 1XTRA DJ (ha ha!!) But I've decided to compile a list of the top 5 Max's off all time. Apologeeeze to any Max that didnt make it. Enjoy....
Number 5. Max Headroom
This Max was a Don in the 80's. He had a music Video show. This guy coulda been big but he had a s-s-slight speech problem,


Number 4. Max Branning
Okay so hes the biggest Slimeball in Walford. But you gotta give props to a guy brave enough to go for his sons ex. Plus his wifes shop is called "Booty" - I like that.


Number 3. Mad Max
I Dont actually remember this Movie but I do know it had a cameo from Tina Turner and she sang the main tune from the soundtrack. Tina Turner is the sexiest Granny alive so I had to throw Mad Max in there!


Number 2. Maxwell D
One of the biggest UKG classics of our time! Serious! Do I have to say anything else?


Number 1. The Don of all Max Dons Max from The Tweenies.
Simply....THE MAN!!

Sorry to any Max's out there that didnt make it. Maybe next year.
IN YOUR FACE!
Til Next time people!
Ace (Number one Diaryman!!)

Monday 4 June

Wanna shout out the Crew in Birmingham. Had a wicked two days up there last week on the hunt for Beyonce, giving away tickets for her gig then broadcasting live backstage at the concert. You can listen to the show online.

Wanna shout out the slightly talentless girl I ended up giving the tickets to on thursday. Gotta shout out the staff at the "Dutch Pot" one serious West Indian take away in Perry Barr. Make sure u check it out if your in the area. But since we never actuallty caught up with Ms Knowles my highlight of the whole Brummy expierience had to be standing in a phone box outside Primark and realising UK boxing legend Garry Mason was occupying the phonebox next too mine!! You can listen to Thursdays show to hear what he had on the phone to Vis.

Tuesday 29th May

Ace.

Friday 20th April


Aces's girl showed us her holiday snaps today



Thursday 19 April

Not sure if you guys have heard the rumours but I swear I have absolutely nothing to do with the break up of Prince William and Kate Middleton. I've heard that theres a few rumours on the net surrounding me and this girl who was set to be Queen one day. Now I've even heard William and his brother are after me! So can I just seriously deny all the charges against me. We've done nothing! (She was on it but I blew her out!)



Why so angry guys??
Vis

Tuesday 17 April

Make sure you go check out Rampages "freak or chic" gallery on the website. Also make sure you vote to let the guys know if they are freak or chic. The only thing is we think Mike should have used this pic.


What do u guys think???

Thursday 12th April

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....

Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Sorry I been watching the repeats on Trouble.


"Whatchu talkin bout Ace!"

(Good friday)

Opened the newspaper today and saw this:

This is basically a picture of people rushing, fighting and struggling to get into the new Primark shop opened Thursday Morning in Oxford Street - London. There Were rumours that they were selling everything for a pound. Now looking at this picture deeply saddens me. Its terrible mostly because the 4 girls at the front of this picture are my cousins AND THEY DIDNT GET ME SH*T!!
Ace

Much love to the Bristol crew and everyone that was at the Syndicate night club last night. It was definitley off the chain. We're looking forward to coming back!! Gotta busy bank holiday ahead so whatever flyer u see our names on is a must reach!! We're back on Wednesday so catch up with u then.

Good Friday Snapshots

Wednesday 4th April

I got a Royal mail card this morning to go pay for a package being held for me at the post office, So I went down there to pick it up and found out the sender had put not stamp or ANY form of postage on it at all. So I paid the £1.37 to get it and found out it was a promo copy of the new Def 1 Album "Love me or hate me".

Now as much as I'm feelin the CD I feel like I've been swindled by Def 1 by having to pay for the CD. So when I see him I will be asking for my money back!! The Cd is hot though so go support that.
Ace

So I tried Accupuncture yesterday and I'm feelin kinda relaxed and chilled. Who would have known that sticking needles in your forhead, earlobes and all over would help your mental state. Very weird. Think I may have a mudbath next week!!

Thursday 29 March

Got Hangover after Diddy's party. I told Fergie we shouldnt have bought that last bottle of champs. I woke up at the hotel with 2 Video girls that claim they were in Diddys last video. I dont know it was an alright evening still. Think Colleens 21st might be better.
Ace

1) The same colour t shirt
2) Same hand signal
3) Same facial expression

Wow - what an end to a heavy week!! We started our 5 day "feel good workout" plan with jokes and ended the week the same way!! Standup legend Alan Carr came through to judge the 1Xtra listeners jokes. Very funny man - had us bending up the whole show. The feed your head campaign comes to an end but we think everyone learnt something about keeping your mind in shape - definately worth while. Check out the website if you need any information..


Thurday 1st March

World Premier Exclusive!! Today was day 4 of the Feed your head campaign and we were looking at doing something creative.

We had Uk RnB sensation Nathan in the show to help us create a track from scratch. With help from the 1xtra listeners I believe we created a classic. Check it out on todays show (pictures here)

Monday 12 February

Okay, I'm late!! I only just saw "Smokin Aces" on the weekend. Wasn't sure if I was gonna like it. Especially after failing to get royalties for the use of my name and no mention in the credits, but anyway I liked it was a good film. More importantly the film inspired me on a different level! The main villain Buddy Israel was a Illusionist and throughout the film he kept doing card tricks with the Ace card! IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL THING!! It had my mind tickin. What if I could do Card tricks with the Ace Card?? It could be my gimmick thing. Picture this:

Scenario 1: Ace (me) walks into a club, sees a girl he thinks is attractive standing alone at the bar. Ace (me) walks over says "what's up?, how are u? seen u standing over here on your own, so I thought I;d come over. what's your name?" She smiles and replies"Tami" giggles, then asks "what's your name??" Without actually saying my name I reach into the back of her weave and pull out an ace card!! She immediately writes her number on the back of the card. You know that's heavy!!

Scenario 2: Ace (me) gets pulled over by a police officer for doing 31 in a 30 zone. The policeman walks over to the drivers side and says "Can I see your licence please?". Ace (me) pulls out wallet grabs his licence and turns it into an Ace card. The officer is so blown away but trick he lets him go on his merry way!! 

Is this corny or Genius? Holla at me and let me know!!
