De La Soul - Ooooh

Advantages: Great in car tune.
Disadvantages: Wears thin after a while

...It was no easy work matching up to the standards that De La Soul's debut album '3ft High And Rising' set for all the crew's preceding efforts and for a while it seemed that it wasn't to be. This latest single is, gladly, a return to form for the former daisy-agers seeing them at their funkiest for a while. The days of saying 'No Go' having long since passed, De La now find themselves recruiting the unique vocal talents of New Jersey's weed-smoking microphone terrorist, Redman. A wise move, as Redman's instantly recognisable style gives De La's low-key mic skills, once perfectly suited to their gently upbeat productions, the contrast needed to fit into the contemporary , neck-snappin' production style. Add a sing-along chorus to seal the trio's triumphant return....

Review of Ooooh - De La Soul

Creme de la Merde!

Advantages: This 'designer' cream will turn your bathroom shelf into a shrine.
Disadvantages: Your bank manager will none too pleased.

...I have read nothing but rave reviews about Creme de la Mer, an A-list moisturiser with an A-list price tag attached. Magazines are forever gushing about this product, associating words such as 'miracle' and 'extraordinary' to it so naturally curiosity got the better of me. Now although I can be somewhat of a beauty product victim and quite impulsive, even I know that forking out around eighty-eight quid for an itsy tub (30ml!) of this wonder is just plain ridiculous. So I sought to foreign lands, the U S of A to be precise, with hope that I could purchase the product for a fraction of the price - this was roughly about a year ago folks, before recession, when the value of the pound was almost two dollars, and so I managed to get hold of it at just over a hundred dollars with postage and packaging which luckily worked out no more than...

De La Mix: Remixes, Rarities & Classics

Advantages: A few really good tracks, some De La Soul tunes you have never heard before
Disadvantages: The album has no flow, a few weak remixes

...***Warning*** This review does contain some edited adult language and themes. The words have been changed but the meaning is plain. In the stacks of wax you can find the De La Mix: Remixes, Rarities & Classics, De La Soul's 2004 release on Tommy Boy/ Rhino. This is not so much a greatest hits as it is a revisiting in an alternate universe. Both commercial and critical successes are treated to a fresh dusting off, live performance or remix on this disk. Laying down the Knowledge For those of you that don't already know, De La Soul has been around since rap was just rap. Hip hop was just starting to take root as a music genre. There was just rap. When the boys from Long Island hit the scene there was the rap that played on the radio and the rap we listened to when our parents were out of ear shot. De La dropped 3 Feet High...

Review of De La Mix Tape (Remixes, Rarities And Classics) [PA] - De La Soul

Creme de la mer face cream

Advantages: You see results quickly
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I had heard about crème de la mer in the press & looked at the price & thought how ridiculously overpriced. Even though I was intrigued I thought there's no way I can justify spending that much. However things were about to change - fast forward to 3 years later & I have had the worst skin problems with spots & scarring - they seemed never ending & I was beginning to get fed up of always having horrible skin. Then one day complaining to a friend she recommended using crème de la mer. She has been using it for about 5 years & has the most amazing skin - so off I went to Selfridges & got the 30ml pot - I thought I don't want to splash out too much so I thought I'll use this size to try it out. I've been using the creme morning & night on recommendation of my friend to get maximum benefits - this has worked very well for me. It also...

Review of Creme de la Mer Creme de la Mer Face Cream

Not the Creme De La Creme

Advantages: It comes in a nice green box
Disadvantages: Didn't live up to the hype

...this would be the elusive cream that would melt away all my bad skin days and leave me waking up each morning with skin so beautiful and flawless I would look like Da Vinci had airbrushed me himself! I am so deluded, easily led and gullible, I know, but I fell for it hook, line and skincare... The packaging is definately not consistent with the price tag. Ok, the green bag and box it comes in are alright, and the actual pot is unusually heavy but the logo on the pot is so cheap looking, I told my husband it cost £4.99 from the chemist and he believed me! I should have spent £4.99 but on a pot of Nivea because Creme De La Mer is Nivea's more expensive snobby twin. The actual product itself sat on top of my skin for what felt like an eternity, I was too afraid to put it on just before getting into bed and wasting a fivers worth on my...

So If You're Not Hippies...

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Overrated

...The Alternative Hip Hop trio De La Soul (consisting of Posdnuos, Maseo and Trugoy) released their third album in 1993, and it saw that the Jazz Rap act brought ?Buloone Mindstae?, a record that many consider to be a classic for its high quality and originality that had transferred itself from the debut they brought in 1989 when ?3 Feet And Rising? dropped and they changed the Hip Hop world. 1. ?Intro? 2. ?Eye Patch? As the album gets underway you find that they get things started with a tune that immediately lets you know that we are in for nothing but high quality material from them as they come through with a short tune that has them bringing material that shows that they are simply making the most of what they are known for and are developing it with the times (even though it doesn?t really fit any contemporary trends). **Four...

Review of Buhloone Mindstate - De La Soul

Got soul?

Advantages: Complex, aromatic and reasonably priced fragrance
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...*Hugo Boss have me impressed* A recent convert to the world of men's fragrances any stronger smelling than a basic anti-perspirant, the warm, woody and very masculine scents of Hugo Boss Soul won me over from the moment I smelled them on a visit to our local Boots. Visiting the aftershave section seems to be something of a tradition for my girlfriend and I when Christmas or a Birthday is approaching, as she likes to pick up a nice smelly for me and no doubt a healthy chunk of Boots points for herself. *Stylish packaging for a cool product* The first thing that I noticed was the interesting distorted bottle that the product comes in. It's made from oddly curved glass that darkens from an almost colourless base up to a smoky purple-grey, with a similarly designed lid that looks something like an optical illusion depending on which...

Parque de La Paz Hotel Review.

Advantages: Excellent location and fantastic value for money. Highly recommended.
Disadvantages: Nothing stands out as being an issue.

...Please bear in mind that Holidays in Tenerife are usually aimed at the 18-30 age group. The Parque de La Paz hotel is located in Playa de las Americas on the south of the Island. It is situated nearby a supermarket and a mere 400m from the wonderful beaches. Tenerife's reputation certainly goes before it and I found many of my ideas surrounding the island were wrong. It is true that Tenerife accomodates a large number of english tourists, however, i felt that part of the culture of the island remained in tact and the standards were certainly not low. As for the hotel i thought it was excellent value for money. As a £200 package holiday I felt the rooms were a great standard. The rooms were a good size with a lovely balcony and all the appliances you need. The rooms are cleaned daily by a cycle of friendly maids. Despite having a large...

Review of Hotel Parque de La Paz, Tenerife

Creme de la Mer: thumbs down

Advantages: leaves skin moisturized for long
Disadvantages: overpriced, overrated,no SPF

...between fingertips before tapping it on the face,but my fingers absorbed most of the cream!Does it mean I will have wrinkle-free finger tips?? The Creme de la Mer, ladies and gentlemen, DOES NOT contain a SPF, which means that, although I spent a fortune for this cream, I have to spend even more for another cream with SPF (and would I apply it before or after the Creme de la Mer?).This is not acceptable, everyone knows about the risks of skin cancer and if I pay a fortune for a face cream then it has to be perfect. That was the bad news.The good news, however, is that excellent creams DO exist. Instead of wasting money on a product that is mainly famous because VIP use it ( sure...Victoria Beckham looks like that because she uses Creme de la Mer, not because she has Botox injections, and Restylane fillings...) you'd better off investing...
