My Thoughts

Volume VII

Welcome back to my blog. I want to apologize for changing my URL….it must be the reason I lost so many views. Well anyway please inform anyone you know that my blog is in fact still up.

Let me get right into a few things….on this edition of “My Thoughts”

I normally do music reviews so I will not mention much about that. For one, this has been a great year for R&B and RAP music. I’ve counted about 20 rap albums for this year alone. There’s been some good R&B albums as well this year already. I also cannot forget about the resurgence of Justin Timberlake. Eminem and Drake are looking to drop albums this year and I hope they are both at least a 9/10.

Movie wise I haven’t seen that many this year. I saw that one movie Hansel and Gretchen which was quite entertaining. Rewind back to January. I saw that movie A Haunted House with a friend. It was good. It fueled by sexual and racist humor. Iron Man 3 was a blockbuster movie. I loved it. I think it will be the last that we see of Iron Man but I could be wrong. What I do know is they better not make a Reboot of it cause Robert Downey Jr. owns that character. Star Trek 2(Into Darkness) was also a great movie. In fact it was just as good as the first one in my opinion. I got to see the 2^nd GI Joe movie too. That was about a B-, while Iron man 3 and ST2 were each about a A. Man of Steel was about a 8.5/10 or a B+ lol. There are quite a few movies that I haven’t seen this year but I don’t have that feeling like I missed out on much.

Now I will go into more personal things. I am a history major in a 4 year college. I am taking 5 classes….and 4 are history. Its been a lot of reading and its gonna be more reading you know. The workload will get even heavier but somehow I need to rise to the challenge and meet this demand.

So….i have a chance to weigh in on some really important topics. First off it’s the Jodi Arias trial. I lost track of what happened with this trial…but this woman is very evil for what she did to ex-bf Travis Alexander. What sparks me the most is that Jodi was very manipulative….and she really seemed to not be sorry for the murder. The George Zimmerman-Treyvon Marin case was just f’d up. I do believe GZ will not get away with what he did but then again that’s a testament to how messmemd our soiiety is…

Then theres this Syria thing…I really think that the US will strike. I don’t know if it will be much of a war but one thing is for sure it will cost a lot of money!!!

And oh yea Miley Cyrus ….u’ve heard enough of that. Twerk Miley Miley lol

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...
