My Thoughts Late 2014

Ah yes, I am back my loyal followers...uh readers...most people dont...nevermind. I got a few things to talk about.

1)First off, let me give you my 2 cents on the shooting in Ferguson. I dont approve of the cop, but the victim was no angel either. Was race factor..yes...is this country still racist? Yes. I dont have a lot to say about it....

2)I've been hearing that this year, 2014 hasnt' been a good year for rap music. Well i partly agree with that....I honestly think the main reason for this is that 2013 was a great great year for rap. There havent been that many great rap albums, but there have been a few that I really like. Well there's always next year right. I'm looking forward to Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar's albums. This year Lil Wayne will drop the Carter V and Nicki Minaj will drop her 4th album, Pinkprint.

3)Movie wise....its been a fairly dissapointing year imo. Sure i loved Transformers 4, and I enjoyed TMNT movie but thats about it. I am looking forward to the last Hobbit movie however.

4)Ah yes the NBA. Its been a weird season so far. Luckily Kobe is balling, and is still the best 2-guard in the league. I seriously doubt my Lakers will get to the playoffs though. I'd like to see the Grizzles and the Bulls in the finals. Heavy defense right?

Thats an old pic of me....taken about 4 years ago.

So I'm going to have new rap reviews for y'all. I might even do some track by track reviews. There will be more movie reviews too. Thanks for reading.

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...
