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.

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

Album Review: Clipse- Let God Sort Em Out

Well I didn't rush this review, I've had some time to sit with this album. It's a hell of a comeback album. Pusha T and Malice are deadly as ever on the mic. The album lyrically is intense. Production is pretty good too but I expected slightly more from an album produced entirely by Pharrell Williams. Speaking of Pharrell, he's all over this album...sometimes not just relegated to a hook. The album gets off to a great start with "The Birds Don't Sing" where both brothers talk about their parents who passed. Pusha T raps about his Mom. Malice about his dad. I really liked the vibe of "All Things Considered"; the The-Dream feature is good. That brings me to the features....like a monster one from Kendrick Lamar on "Chains & Whips". Tyler the Creator does well on "P.O.V.". Nas is on the 2nd last track and he does well too. "M.T.B. T. T. F." is fire, and it stands for Mike Tyson Blow to the Face lol. Ultimately its h...

Tech Review: Iphone Air

I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life. Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...
