Would not want to be in a 2 mile radius of these sort of ruffians

That meek mill boat party wasn't a private party.

So he was not gassing his loss.

[Moet]

Where you gonna be kaygee do you want a male escort? Seeing as your guy is not man enough to protect you from the wild savages which will be about.

@miz carnival not my thing only been once 1998 dancing to some Antonio hype funk. Shits to black for me and white population tend to be the type of girls who rock a Jamacian flag in their Facebook pics. Or some tree hugging lefty I will spend the day down clacton making sand castles

lol me, my sisters-in-law, mother-in-law, aunty-in-law all dressed up in the Bajan flag (i was the only non bajan but f*ck it i had a laugh!)

2yrs ago b4 i found out i was ill.

You should try going Barbados, My mum, step dad, bro and his friend just come back on saturday went to the drop over

Guys a joker he said to me Meek Mills had a boat party some girls told him about it the next day and he said so he couldn't go

Said to him Like Meek would of let you on the boat in the first place if you did know

I would go if i could afford it. Would only need to pay for flights and spending money as well

[Trap*]

KCC back this year???

Keith Franklin ‏@DJKCC

KCC & The Rockin Crew back at Wornington Rd W10@Notting Hill Carnival 2012

They should have never locked off KCC last year. Has a more mature and mixed crowd compared to places like Rampage and there's rarely any beef there

One of the best places to be if you like House music

[media=]

[Nola D]

house heads where's the afterparty at, anyone heard anything?

[Ismooth]

Might roll through. Momentum of Macking only gets stronger, Macks, players, Don Juans , Casanovas are coming out to PLAY!!!!!!!!!!

Them Ones

Carnival was live to me. but the after party was whole another level. they had all types of music genres' from hiphop,funkyhouse,oldskool hiphop and bashment.

On the day time Carnival , me and my cuzzy and brother was skankin at the rampage and talking to some chicks outside london( Chicks from outside london very receptive to good game) then I tried to holla at some more chicks but I got rejected numerous times. most people came there with positive attitudes and freindly vibes and was there for having fun, have a drink, dance. it was only few niggas trying to cause havoc and end up pissing off the DJ's ( only on rampage).

So when the daytime carnival ended, me,bruva and one of my cuzzy started walking towards da nearest bus station and there was this big hench mixed guy try badge my cousin but I was wacthing everything with my third eye open , and my cuzzy started waving his hand on disrespectful way, but the hench guy didn't really want it ,he was just fronting, so we carried on walking and my cuzzy left 9 , because he had to go somewhere.

So me and my bruva decided to go on the way to harlsdean ,oh my lord and brothers looking for trouble outside like for example having fights and one brudda got chased by bare niggas then like 2 hours later 2 white bois and 1 mixed yout came with hooded up with pedal bikes trying to fight one black breh at chicken shop at the same spot one brudda got rushed 2 hours earlier, but it was madness, and the police wasn't even there at that time. waited in que for 2-3 hours and when me and brother stepped in the party , we thought it was going to be ok. But it turned out to be f*ck*ng liveeven doe its gang full of black bois and black girls and mixed chicks.

I was just trying to bring that positive vibes by dancing and smiling little bit , because alot niggas just stood like wallflowers, and the dj said if alot you guys came here with your freind grab a lady n start wining stop acting like battymans some thing like that, I mean the Dj's keep niggas in check, that's why there wasn't really no fight inside the hall, it was mostly me and couple other niggas and the girls that tore that dancefloor when it comes to skanking. it was so live, the black girls ripped the dancefloor when they were wining, and me and my brother was holding girls by their waist and was grinding on hoes, left and right. no joke the hood after party in harlsdean was one of the best shubz I been to so far.

i look forward to your 2012 review.

I'M STILL LAUGHING AT MY CARNI REVIEW OF 2009, TEEN SMOOTH WENT WILD.

HAHAHA REMEMBER THAT DAY, REMINISCING HEHE, ONE WHITE GIRL WAS WINING ON ME SO HARD, ALMOST TRY BREAK MY DI.CK OR SOMETHING.

TRUST ME, THIS TIME, I'M GETTING DRUNK WHICH MEANS, IT MIGHT BE WILDER STORY COMING FROM ME G

BROKEN & UNEVEN PRESENTS: OSTGUT TON

SECRET EAST LONDON LOCATION, £12.50-£15, 10pm-6am

Not sure that the greyscale techno one associates with Berghain and its in-house label, Ostgut Ton, is particularly “carnival” in feel, but there’s no doubt that this will be a terrific party for the Berlin-inclined: Marcels Dettmann and Fengler go hard with special guest Surgeon, while Prosumer and Ostgut boss Nick Hoppner rep the housier sounds of Panorama Bar.

FABRIC SATURDAY

FABRIC, £10-£19, 11pm-8am
