Transformers Age of Extinction Movie Review

I feel like this review is long overdue, but I just saw it last week lol. This was my #1 movie I was looking forward too this year. U know it didn't disappoint me, but it didnt blow me away either. Its like the Transformers bar has been raised to ridiculously high expectations.

Im not going to have spoilers here. I liked Mark W. in this. He did his thing. His character was really likeable. The guy with the glasses is also pretty cool once he...ok no spoilers. The dino bots were dope, but too bad they were at the back of the movie. The movie is dark, way darker than Dark of the Moon(iRonic right?). Age of Extinction keeps you guessing which is cool. Theres man made Transformers who...okay i'll stop. The villains are pretty cool. Optimus kicks ass as usual, but not as much as Im used to seeing. Maybe it's because hes up against tough Transformers. The Autobots are also pretty likeable here too.

The movie is a bit long, but honestly, I didnt care. I wanted a little bit more. Perhaps for the first time in the series, humans have a big impact on the fate of Earth. There's good ones, and lots of bad ones(for the first time). Do i miss Shia? Hell yeah. Should they have mentioned him...of course. Should he have made a cameo since this movie is just 5 years after movie 3? Hell yeah. Overall i really liked this movie. I give it 9/10. Or 4.5 stars outta 5 for you movie folk. Go see it if you haven't already.

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

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
