The Dragon Ball Z review-Saiyan Saga

Hey I'd like to take this time to talk about one of my favorite animes, Dragon Ball Z. This show has captivated me ever since I first saw it when I was ten years old. The show is really action packed. If you havent seen it yet, then i suggest you do. Im going to run through the saga quickly and give you some of my favoirite moments that I can remember from each saga. I am going to try not to include spoilers but sometimes you have to.

Saiyan Saga part 1:

This is the first saga. It starts fairly well. There is one villain, Raditz, who is Goku's older brother. I love how the events play out. Goku must work with a former villain, PIccolo, to defeat Raditz. Raditz probably would have won this fight, but Goku's son, Gohan gets pissed and attacks Raditz. Piccolo ends up charging up his special beam cannon and killing Raditz, who is restrained by Goku. The result is that the earth is saved, but Goku dies(for the first time out of many).

Score: 8/10

S Saga part 2:

This where the show really gets good. This is arguably one of my favorite parts of the series. Evil Saiyans are coming to attack the earth. They come looking for Dragon Balls, which they found out about threw Raditz. Early on you have the good guys training hard to get ready for the Saiyans. Goku trains with King Kai.....Im not going into all the details. The Z fighters prove to be no match for Nappa and Vegeta. Nappa does all the fighting early on. He's a Big Brute type of fellow, while Vegeta is short and skinny, but the Z fighters notice that Vegeta is the more powerful of the two. Goku comes back and he races to the battlefield. However he cant get there before almost every good guy (Z fighter) gets killed. Only Gohan and Krillin(a cowardly fighter) end up being alive by the time Goku shows up.

When Goku finally shows up, he kicks Nappa's a**. Nappa is unfortunately killed by Vegeta. This is where the show heats up. Goku finds out how tough Vegeta really is. The fight is incredible, but Goku almost wins. Then Vegeta does something to transform into...(Not spoiling it). With a combintation of help from Gohan and Krillin and this fat guy named Yajorobe..Vegeta is beaten. Goku is all messed up but he lets Vegeta live, which turns out to be a really good idea later.

Score: 8.5/10

Saiyan Saga Score: 8/10I really like the S. Saiyan Saga. As great as it is....its still not as good as DBZ gets......

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
