My Thoughts Fall 2014

Hello my blog faithfuls. I havent been blogging that much lately, but i thought i should make another edition of My Thoughts.

1st thing, I cannot wait for the next NBA season. Football is cool, but i love that basketball. I'm going to go out on a limb and say in the Western Conference finals the Thunder will play the Clippers...yup I dont think the Spurs will be as motivated to repeat as they were to win last year.I mean the Spurs have NEVER repeated. In the East it will be....the Cavaliers and the Bulls.
Next....world events. I dont know what to say about the police brutality in this country. Its insane. The situation in the middle east is crazy..or should i say getting worse. They don't really talk about the Palestinian situation with Israel anymore....its just ugly. The ISIS situation is also insane. Its like our President almost denies the fact that we need boots on the ground there. Im like how do you expect to stop them without troops..As far as Ebola goes, i just hope things don't get much worse.
Music wise it has been an okay year. I'm really hoping that Game,TI, and Lil Wayne's new albums will be good. Also i know that Killer Mike & EL-P are going to drop Run the Jewels 2. Kanye and Kendrick Lamar are also supposed to be working on new albums respectively. With all this new music coming out i think Common's album Nobody's Smiling will be dethroned as the year's best rap album.
Movie wise its been a decent year. I can't wait for the Hobbit 3. I thought there would only be 1 Hobbit movie but i'm so glad that these movies are getting better.

Well thats it for now. Thanks for reading. Any comments or blog suggestions just let me know.

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
