Corporate Branding: 'The Footballer'

Flogging a dead horse comes to mind... Michael Owen is way past his best, and it seems his agent has resulted to a last resort. A branding pack on an aging professional without a club, demanding high-wages. I've never seen anything like this before. Thrown together on powerpoint, it looks very slap dash. Re-launching any individuals career is hard work, especially with the problems Michael has had, this is not a good start. Design can be used to really deliver and provide a clear and direct message. This is quite convoluted, is it a presentation on Owen the footballer or Owen the brand, his stock as either has rapidly declined.

We can't forget some of his classic moments.

Mystro - 'Mess I Ever Had'


Mighty Mystro has always been known for his comical antics, I can't think of any other rapper in the UK who can actually do "funny" ... Mystro has always been able to make a crowd laugh as a great host of the classic Kung fu nights up in Camden Town. On this Dub for Shortee Blitz's forthcoming 'The Standard' mixtape which drops July 3rd, Mystro remixes Drake's 'Best I Ever Had' to great effect.

Sharky Major - 'Shark Attack'

HYPE

"The only thing worst than being talked about is not being talked about." - Oscar Wilde

OJ Da Juiceman - 'Car Talk'

Naledge feat. Bun B, Curren$y & Doe Boy - Look At Them Hips



Naledge coming with the summer vibes. I'm a big fan of Kids in the Hall.

N.O.R.E - 'Everybody's An AR'



I suppose Nore is going after me and the countless other bloggers with opinions. I like this, Big up Nore!

Classic Noreaga moments:


Capone-N-Noreaga - Invincible


Tragedy Khadafi ft. Nas & Noreaga - Calm Down

"I represent for the people, let down by a Nation, and left in the streets where it's evil, little kids surrounded by knives and heroin needles"



Devlin is back after a short hiatus, we were left wandering what had happened to Dagenham's finest. I must admit that after a couple of appearances on Westwood over the last year or so, I thought the young MC had possibly been spending too much time with Ghetto. His flow seemed forced, arguably one of, if not the most lyrical in the Grime scene, his delivery was going into overdrive, and he struggled to spit such lyrical content at the same tempo as Ghettz. Anyway, he's brought it back down, and this is a classic. Devlin is reppin for a whole generation of disenfranchised kids, who know a thing or two about the World. I'm glad he's back on form, we've been waiting for the highly anticipated 'Bud, Sweat and Beers' for a minute. Big up Devlin and check out these Devlin classic moments below, for those out of the loop for the last couple years.


Devlin - 'Community Outcast'


Devlin - 'Dealers' (verse off of the Movement DVD)
