My Thoughts Vol. 4: 2012 Recap

This is my 1st blog of this new year. I'd like to recap last year then make predictions about 2013.

1st off i'd like to say Thank you.....thanks to everyone that reads my blog posts!

Now lets get into it. First off is that shooting that happened in December of last year. The young man responsible is burning in hell where he belongs. I mean to commit Matricide and then mow down kid after kid.......nuff said on that.

I havent seen many movies lately. However I did see rise of the Guardians....it was like a cartoon version of Avengers in more ways than one. I just saw the final Dark Knight movie.....INCREDIBLE. Baine was a good villain, but he wasnt the only one. Catwoman was pretty hot. Of course the Batman was awesome.

Its funny. 2011 i was broke for most of the year....and last year (2012) i was able to make some key purchases like a Nintendo 3ds, an Ipad, and a Nintendo Wii U. I'll make a seperate post about the Wii U.

2012 went by really fast. Now that I think about it....i didnt really get to do anything out of the ordinary in O12'. I did beat Mario Wii U.....one of the hardest motherf'n Mario games or Platformers period.

Music wise i was very pleased with the music i heard from Rap, R&B, and Pop artists. I dont watch 106 & Park anymore...its funny because when i was younger i would watch that show religiously....but AJ and Free are long gone, as are Terrence and Rocsi. I dont care much for BET period anymore.

Best R&B album-Melanie Fiona: The MF Life

Leave a comment about what 2012 meant to you. I want to hear your comments.

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...

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

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
