Hey whats on the GooTube?
Looks like its all true now – Google To Acquire YouTube for $1.65 Billion in Stock. Everyone's eating it up but to be honest, does it really matter that much? I've yet to be convinced about the importance of this deal except Google now on top of Fox with there MySpace.
The US on the UK Grime Scene
I would never have thought I would be linking to a BBC blog but this short piece from some American show (which was uploaded to YouTube) is a interesting look at the UK Grime scene. Oh did I mention Mistajam now has a BBC Blog? I'm aware of the grime scene but stay well clear because I'm not the biggest fan of this type of music. But I do respect where this is coming from, even if its lost its way a little. There is a really good point made about the true differences of UK and US hiphop culture. People don't have 23 inch rims on there cars and wear diamonds simply because they can't afford it and they would be robbed. Yep, I'm certainly hearing that. I wouldn't even pull my ipaq on the train ride into peckham sometimes.
