Egypt 5-1 Taifa Stars!! Bado tuna safari ndefu…

Mchezo kati ya timu ya Taifa Stars na Egypt umemalizika huko Cairo huku timu ya Taifa ikiwa imebugizwa mabao 5-1.

Mchezo huo ambao ulikuwa wa kusisimua umeshuhudia timu yetu ikiendeleza wimbi la kufungwa huku timu ikionyesha ukomavu wenye ukame wa magoli.

Ssiwezi kusema hasa tatizo la Taifa Stars ni nini ila kwa mujibu wa mchezo wa leo kwa upande wangu naona beki ilikuwa inakatika sana na washambuliaji kutokuwa na coordination ambayo inawafanya wacheze kama timu zaidi.

Mpaka mapumziko Taifa Stars ilikuwa imeshakunywa jumla ya mabao 4-1 huku Wamisri wakiwa wanalishambulia lango la Taifa Stars vilivyo na kuufanya mchezo kuwa wa upande mmoja zaidi.

Mpaka kipyenga cha mwisho, Egypt 5-1 Taifa Stars

Elizabeth hatarini tena Big Brother!

Mshiriki wa Tanzania Elizabeth Gupta ameingia kwenye ‘denja zone’ baada ya kuwekwa ndani ya mchujo, kitendo kinachoashiria huenda akaaga Jumba la BBA wiki hii (Jumapili).
Eliza ameingia ndani ya mchujo baada ya mkubwa wa jumba wiki hii, Edward kumuokoa rafiki yake kipenzi na mvuta sigara mwenzake Mzamo, ambaye alikuwa kwenye orodha ya mstari mwekundu. Kaka mkubwa wa jumba hilo aliwatangaza washiriki waliopigiwa kura wiki hii na kuingia kwenye mchujo kuwa ni Nkenna, Emma aliyenusurika kutoka wiki iliyopita na Mzamo ambaye ameokolewa na rafiki yake. Ishu ilikuwa ‘hoti’ pale Edward alipoitwa katika chumba cha mahojiano na Big Brother na kuulizwa ni nani anayetaka kumuokoa, bila kusita alimtaja rafiki yake Mzamo na kumweka Elizabeth aondoke badala yake. Kwa hatua hiyo, huenda Eliza akaaga Jumba la BBA wiki hii. Ili kumuokoa, mpigie kura kwa wingi ili aendelee kutesa na mwisho wa siku aibuke na ushindi.
Mpige kura Eliza kwa kuandika jina lake (VOTE ELIZABETH) kisha kutuma kwenda namba 15726.

Akizungumza na Spoti na Starehe jioni hii Sugu amesema kuwa uzinduzi huo unaandaliwa na kampuni ya Deiwaka na ameomsema pia mpaka sasa hakuna mdhamini ila jitihada zinafanywa na muitikio si mbaya.

Mr II ambaye anatamba sasa na single yake inayokwenda kwa jina la Hold On ambayo ni moja ya vibao vya moto katika albamu nzima ya VETO. Aidha Sugu ametanabaisha kuwa wanamuziki kadhaa wanaowika kwenye medani ya muziki huu watashiriki kwenye usiku huo wa kufa mtu “…kumbuka ni miaka mitano tangu nimeperform dar show yangu mara mwisho ilikuwa hapo hapo diamond jubilee mwaka 2004” alisema Sugu. “pia hii show sio tu uzinduzi wa album yangu ya kumi…pia nasherehekea miaka 15 kama recording artist…yaani tangu nianze kurekodi albums” aliongeza.

Spoti na Starehe inakupa big up na pia ni moja ya wadhamini wa Usiku huo hivyo basi wadhamini zaidi wanaombwa kujitokeza.

Waliomuua Albino kunyongwa hadi kufa

Watuhumiwa wa Mauaji ya Albino waliohukumiwa kunyongwa na Mahakama Kuu ya Shinyanga jana.

Watu wanne wamehukumiwa kunyongwa hadi kufa baada ya kukutwa na hatia ya mauaji ya kukusudia dhidi ya albino Lyaku Willy (50) yaliyotokea Bariadi mkoani hapa, Desemba mwaka jana.

Hiyo ni hukumu ya pili kutolewa kwa washtakiwa wa mauaji ya albino baada ya watatu kuhukumiwa kunyongwa Septemba mwaka huu kwa kosa la kumuua Matatizo Dunia, albino aliyekuwa akiishi Bukombe.

Waliotiwa hatiani jana na Mahakama Kuu Shinyanga ni Mboje Mawe, Chenyenye Kishiwa, Sayi Gamaya na Sayi Mafizi, ambao walihusika kumkata mapanga mlemavu huyo na kuufunga mwili wake kwenye sandarusi kisha kuutupa Mto Kidamlida.

Akitoa hukumu hiyo, Jaji aliyekuwa anasikiliza kesi hiyo kutoka Mahakama Kuu Tabora, Gab Mjemasi, alisema ameridhika na ushahidi wa upande wa mashtaka pamoja na vielelezo 11 vilivyotolewa mahakamani hapo. Habari kwa hisani ya http://www.habarileo.co.tz/

Agassi akiri kutumia dawa za nguvu

Andre Agassi amekiri kupitia tawasifu yake mpya, alidanganya kwa waendesha mchezo wa tennis kuhusu kutumia dawa za kuongeza nguvu ili kukwepa kufungiwa.

Agassi aliyestaafu mwaka 2006, amesema alitumia dawa hiyo mwaka 1997 alipokuwa na msaidizi wake wa zamani ‘Slim’.

Chama cha mchezo wa tennis kwa wachezaji wa kulipwa (ATP) kimesema kinachunguza kukiri huko kwa Agassi.

Katika tawasifu huo uliopatikana na gazeti la Times, Aggasi ameandika "Slim" alimtilia kiasi kidogo cha unga wa dawa hiyo kwenye kahawa.

Filandu na Wenge Musica BCBG

 

Kuna mdau wangu kwa jina la Baraka ameniomba kuandika Historia ya Wenge Musica tangu ianze mpaka sasa na kila kundi lilipo na wanafanya nini, nakuahidi tu mdau wangu niko nakusanya facts ili nitoke na unachokitaka. Napenda kukujulisha kuwa habari hiyo itatoka wiki ijayo hivyo tega sikio. Kwa leo pata burudani ya kibao Filandu ambacho kiliundwa na Engineer Blaise Bulla wakati hui walipotoka na Albamu ya Pentagone.

Kwa wanaomjua Blaise Bulla wanajua kwa nini aliitwa Engineer, kwa faida ya wadau, Blaise Bulla ndiye alikuwa na kazi ya kupanga mtiririko mzima wa waimbaji katika wimbo kuwa Ataanza nani na nani afuate, na ndiye yeye aliyekuwa na uwezo wa hata kusema ubeti huu ukiimbwa na Werason utapendeza zaidi na wa Werason uimbwe na Dominguez, basi ilimradi kuleta raha na ndio maana alipewa jina la Engineer.

Kroenke akaribia kumiliki club ya Arsenal

Mkurugenzi wa Arsenal Stan Kroenke  (pichani) amepiga hatua moja zaidi ambapo anaweza kujitolea kununua hisa zote za club hio.

Tajiri huyo wa Kimarekani amenunua hisa kumi zaidi kwa pauni £8,500 kila moja na kupandisha mchango wake katika hisa kufikia asili mia 28.9%.

Hiyo ina maana kwamba Bw. Kroenke ndiye mwenye hisa nyingi zaidi ya wengine, akimshinda tajiri kutoka Uzbekistan Alisher Usmanov, mwenye asili mia 24%. Bw. Kroenke anakaribia kiwango cha juu cha 29.99% ambapo itambidi atangaze nia ya kununua hisa zilizosalia.

Hata hivyo hisa zilizosalia zinashikiliwa na Wakurugenzi wanaozishikilia kwa mkono wa chuma. Bw.Kroenke anayemiliki club ya NBA huko Marekani Denver Nuggets amekua akinunua hisa za club ya Arsenal taratibu mwaka huu akidokoa kila fursa inayojitokeza kutoka kwa wanaotaka kuuza.

Pamoja na Bw.Kroenke, wengine wenye kifua katika kumiliki hisa kubwa ni Bw.Usmanov, Danny Fiszman na Lady Bracewell Smith. Hata hivyo haijaeleweka kama Bw.Kroenke ana nia ya kununua hisa zilizosalia kwa nia ya kuimiliki club nzima ya Arsenal au amenunua hisa hizo kwa ajili ya faida ya uwekezaji wa mda mrefu.

X Plastaz represent Africa at BET Hip Hop Awards 2009

America’s annual ‘gathering of giants’ pays tribute to Tanzanian hip hop

Gsan in action at the BET cypher

Rapper Gsan of the group X Plastaz from Arusha, Tanzania, is representing Africa in this year’s edition of the BET Hip Hop Awards, broadcast on October 27 on BET (Black Entertainment Television) in the USA. Meanwhile, X Plastaz’ dj/producer Threesixty is heard all around the world through his production for major hip hop artist Redman (Def Jam).

The annual BET Hip Hop Awards are watched by millions of hip hop fans across the United States. Especially the part of the show in which Gsan participates, titled the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher, is highly anticipated as it’s a true gathering of giants in rap music. The cypher, in which the artists go back to the raw essence of hip hop, sees legendary dj/producer Premier team up with emcees such as Mos Def, Black Thought, Eminem and Joe Budden. The section in which BET pays tribute to the growing popularity of hip hop from East Africa by including Gsan has the Arusha-born rapper performing alongside veteran rapper KRS One along with newcomers Wale and Nipsey Hussle.

The inclusion of X Plastaz in this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards came about when BET contacted X Plastaz, after seeing their music video ‘Nini dhambi kwa mwenye dhiki’ on the Youtube website. ‘Nini dhambi’ which has drawn over 400.000 views is one of the most popular East African music videos on the web. Gsan flew out to Brooklyn, New York where the cypher was pre-recorded in an empty factory building. His contribution was a rap in Swahili over an old school loop, cut up by dj Premier. While Swahili language hip hop was something new for the other artists, KRS One and Premier were full of love for the African input into this year’s cypher.

After recording the cypher, Gsan attended the Awards ceremony which took place in Atlanta on October 10, and which will finally be broadcast next tuesday, October 27.

Gsan posing with dj Premier and rapper KRS One

Says Gsan in an interview with Emcee Africa presenter Lee Kasumba: "Well, the Cypher segment was recorded in New York before the actual award ceremony. For me, it was just amazing to be there with people like Eminem, KRS One, DJ Premier playing the beats, and being able to showcase what I had. Many people were blown away with what I did and asked me why I rhymed in Swahili ‘cause they wanted to understand. I was just like ‘English is not my first language, I speak it, I love it but you will be able to mess me up if I rhyme in English’. There were emcees from all over the world in one setting, and I was happy to represent for Africa. I wasn’t starstruck, just glad to showcase what I did and could do with my American counterparts. I mean, think of it, we really have the same names, just one word changes, African American and African, do you understand what that means?"

Also this week, X Plastaz dj Threesixty (real name: Bamba Nazar) is being hailed as a breath of fresh air in hip hop as his production for Def Jam-artist Redman was distributed across the internet. The beat reminds of the energetic old school sound of the late 1970’s and is a sureshot dancefloor filler. The song, titled ‘Coc Back’, is the first single off Redman’s long awaited new album titled ‘Reggie Noble 9.5′ which will be released in December. The video for ‘Coc Back’ will be out this week.

Watch Gsan from X Plastaz in the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher on tuesday, October 27 at 8 pm (EDT) on BET. Outside of USA the cypher can be watched on Youtube from the day after the Awards show.
