My Thoughts (Sept 2017 Edition)

My Thoughts 2017(Sept. Edition)

Hey y’all I’m back with another My Thoughts entry. I’m just going to give my opinion on various things going on in the world and my interests now.

I gotta admit this has been a pretty decent year for music. I love albums from Logic, Lupe, Vince Staples, Tyler the Creator, David Banner(review coming eventually). I’m looking forward to a new album from Eminem of course. Jay Z and Kendrick Lamar also had great albums this year. R&B wise Kehlani has the album to beat although I admit I don’t listen to the whole thing that much. SZA is also dope af.

Movie wise I’ve seen most of the movies I wanted to see in 2017. I saw Transformers V. It was my favorite movie of the year so far. Expect a review when I get it later this month. I loved Guardians of the galaxy 2. I didn’t care too much for Alien Covenant. Too graphic for my tastes…even tho I’ve seen every alien film hahah. King Kong SI was good too. Chips was funny af. Power Rangers was decent. Ghost in the Shell was cool too. That rounds out the movies I’ve seen. I am looking forward to Star Wars Episode 8, but not as much as I should be.

The hurricane season is here smh. Texas and Florida were hit hard. I actually think it was worse for Texas tho. Trump is still actin a fool. North Korea is still actin a fool lol. I think I’m done with traditional dating sites for now. Expect a blog about them(again) where I get into depth and give you every thing there is to know about them. From a male perspective of course.

Did you hear about the new Iphones…people I’m trying to cop my first IPhone. Yes I meant to get one in 2015 but I went with Galaxy phones again lol. I own half of all the major products Apple makes(in brand no I’m not rich) I own Ipods, Ipad, and an Apple TV. I’m looking to at least get an Iphone and maybe an apple watch later. I have almost 0 interest in a Mac tho.

Let’s close with video games. I have enjoyed them this year tremendously. Not really done with my games from 2016 to be honest with you. I love Madden 18 and NBA 2k18. Uncharted Lost Legacy is dope af. As is Destiny 2. So yeah lets end this on a good note guys; thanks for reading. Support my blog!

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
