My Thoughts 2012-1st Edition


I'm back in College for what seems to be my 12th semester...yea its hard to believe. I remember when I was a freshman back in 2006. It wasnt very difficult to get aquainted with college life, which at the time consisted of stayin on campus during the week. It was easier to make friends and hang out back then at school. Now I'm back with my original major of history and I'm ready to make the push for the degree.

I'm so glad that the NBA got it together...i've been watching as much NBA as I can ever since it started on CHristmas day. My favorite team is the Lakers. Ironically it used to be the Heat, but that was back when it was Shaq and Wade on the team.....I've gotta admit i felt odd during last year's finals. I hate the Mavericks, but I didn't really want the Heat to win either......This season It seems the younger athletic teams will have the best records.

Music wise I have completly forgotten about R&B it seems.....I've gotten more into rap again(as you can see from my blogs), but I do enjoy R&B and some Pop. Lady Gaga and the Legendary Britney Spears are 2 of my favorite artists.....I'm a pretty big Justin Timberlake fan too. Rap wise there were some good albums last year but ulltimately 2010 was the best year i've seen for rap in a LONG TIME. Okay maybe since 2008 lol.2008 had numerous really hot albums like Paper Trail by T.I. and LAX by Game, not to mention Untitled by Nas. Last year it seemed like almost every album I heard could have been a little better.

Movie wise I got to see quite a few movies like Priest(ugh),  Thor, Sherlock Holmes, Transformers 3, and Rise of the Planet of the APes. Oh yea, i also saw 2 horror movies with a good friend(INsidious and DOnt be afraid of the Dark. Of course Im giving Transformers gets movie of the year from me. Don't ask why.

That raps up this edition of my thoughts....thanks for reading my blog

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
