My Thoughts 2019 (Part 3)

I have a few things to talk about so lets get it. I'm not doing this like the usual My Thoughts where I break it down by category. I really feel like some personal issues have prevented me from blogging on this site like I used to. I recently got a new laptop for Christmas so the blogs should come with a little more frequency. So if you been rocking with me all this time...my hat goes off to you.

Can I just say I'm disappointed with rap music in 2019. I am also disappointed that we didn't get an album from Rihanna this year. I mean sh**....we need that R9 yo. I haven't felt like reviewing that many albums as most have fell short of expectations.

Basketball wise I'm enjoying this NBA season. I'm a Laker fan and I'm glad they've gone from playoff chasers to an elite team in the Western Conference. I think the Bucks are the team to beat however. I got Giannis winning MVP for the 2nd year in a row. I want the Lakers to play the Clippers in the Western conference finals as they need to beat that team.

I've also been watching a lot of football this year. I'm hoping that the Patriots don't make the Super Bowl again. It's like damn don't y'all win enough. I doubt my team, the Steelers will make the playoffs tho. I don't think anyone is beating Baltimore tho....'

Video Game wise things have been interesting. I decided to go and get Pokemon Shield over Call of Duty Modern Warfare. I beat Pokemon in like 2 weeks. The game was really good actually. Haters be damned. It looked good and I love how they streamlined the battles. Expect a review on it at some point.

I'm so glad they Impeached President Donald Trump. This man is so corrupt and he's a liar. I wish they'd remove him from office but it looks that won't happen. On the democratic side of things I was sad when Kamala Harris dropped out as she was my favorite candidate. Now who do I go for? I'm not really a Biden guy and I'm not really feeling the "Bern" LOL.

That was just some random thoughts of mine. 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...
