Aston Martin's new Rapide! What a beauty!

If perfection ever had to be personified, the Aston Martin Rapide would be it. I have no words to describe the extreme excitement and pain I experience when viewing this monster of a car. Excitement, because it wows me with it's looks and powerful purr, and pain, because I know I don't own one.

Yes, Aston Martin for some strange reason, have done it again. They have showcased the reason why they are the kings of luxury motor car's, and have reminded us mere mortals as to why we wake up every morning, go to work, and bust our butts. The Aston Martin Rapide is a brilliant reason if there ever was one.




From the home of chivalry, Burberry and Lady Diana, comes a car that embodies elegance, style and power. The Rapid has one of the sleekest designs ever none to man, yet subtle. The four door beauty is set to contend with my number one favourite car, the Maserati Quattroporte. As much as I have my loyalties to my dear Mas, it isn't impossible to be seduced. The Rapide has a six-speed touchtronic transmission, a monstrous 6.0 litre engine and shells out 350kw of serious power. It does 0-100km in 5.1 seconds, with a top speed of 297km/h.

You've probably forgotten that there's a price tag attached to this bewildering beauty, and of course you would just by looking at it. A hefty $199,950(R1,359.660) is what you're looking at in order to be thrilled and dazzled by this marvel of motor machine. Pricey? Yes. But isn't it just worth every penny!

Song of the month! Lupe Fiasco never seems to fail me!

Lupe Fiasco is undoutably one of the most amazing lyrisist I have ever heard, and now he collaborates with one of the best production crews out there, the Neptunes! If you weren't keen on listening to this amazing song, I hope that little tidbit convinced you otherwise.

"I'm beamin" is the lastest offering from Lupe Fiasco off his uncoming album, I mean he never gets it wrong for me. The precisition in terms of what he is about is always there, yet he can come across in a different manner each time. Lupe is not a boxed artist, he is not a conformist and this is what makes him great. The essence of his music remains the same and constant, whilst there is something always ever refreshing and new about it. Almost like a cool gentle breeze on a hot day.

I'm beamin in a mixture of a futuristic sound, that feels as if it were old school, yet it sounds very new. The base in the song is perfection, making it impossible for you to contain yourself whilst listening to the uber cool beat. And that's just what it is, uber cool. The sound is very technical, yet comes across in a very easy, chilled way. Lupe fiasco's music has always been very easy going and contemporary, whilst having the largest effect in every song. Whether it be the beat or the lyrics, there's always something very powerful about this very individualist artist.

I'm beaming is a hit, ope you enjoy it!
