Star Wars Blog: Episode I: The Phantom Menace

As you may know, the big homie George Lucas has put Star Wars back out in theaters, this time in 3D. I havent seen it in 3D yet(nor do i Plan to ) but anyways, i would like to review each of GL's Star Wars movies...and I'll start with Episode I.

What I like: Phantom Menace is a good start to the series. It does a good job of introducing many of the characters from the original trilogy like Anakin, Obi Wan, and Yoda....and it gives you a new cast of characters that are pivotal to the story like Padme(Queen Amidala), Qui Gon Jin, and Darth Maul. The podrace is really fun, as is the final battle at the end which basically saves it from being an average film.

What I didnt like: Jar Jar binks, Jar Jar's people.....i mean come on? Im not going to rant on him but I will say that the movie suffers from bad dialogue, and its a somewhat slow in some parts. ALso we get to see (and hear) so little from Darth Maul.

Overall: This is an average star wars movie, but its a good movie alone and by itself. It gets teh series started on a good note, but at the time it didnt seem too relevant to the OT except for the fact you know a few key things...Anakin is a jedi padawan under Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin has feelings for Padme, and Palpatine has some how become Supreme Chancellor.

Rating: 6.5/10

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Kanye West 2 Part-Post (Revised Top Songs & Album Ranking)

1.       Gold Digger- To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol. 2.       All Falls Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled him to superstardom in 2004. 3.       Jesus Walks- A controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years. 4.       Can’t Tell Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample are pure genius. 5.       Power- The aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...
