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

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...

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: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
