Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

This post is kinda overdue, but I figure I'd give some of my thoughts on current events. The Black Lives Matter movement has been reinvigorated due to yet another black person being murdered by the police.  George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis by a corrupt, evil cop. Its like damn man why would you do that. People have been in the house due to Corona Virus and apparently many are getting out and using this event to riot and loot. I understand why many are upset but this violent rioting and looting isn't really helping anything. Our president isn't really helping anything with his divisive tweets...but hey what else would you expect from President Dump...oops Trump at this point? This is all just really sad. I'm doing pretty good myself. I have lots of music to review actually but I haven't been posting here that much and I apologize for that. Also expect a review of the last Star Wars movie at some point. I need to watch it again to give a better review. Thats not...

I remember not liking Joyner Lucas simply cause he had beef with Logic. Well that’s obviously a thing of the past. Joyner’s album is pretty good but there are some glaring flaws here and there. He is a good lyricist and I like that fast flow he employs on a lot of songs here. The beats are good too. I feel like the singles are pretty much the best songs except for “10 Bands” and “Finally”. The album’s closer, “Broke and Stupid” is also really good. “Will” is a great ode to Will Smith, while “Lotto” is my s***. I really don’t really care for the skits tho. They seem redundant. I think Joyner is a good rapper but he needs work to be a great one. Lyrics: 22 Beats:21 Depth:21 Tilt: 20 Verdict: 84

I just gotta say I really enjoyed this latest offering from Dua Lipa. It sounds so new yet classic at the same time. I guess that's why she called it Future Nostalgia. "Physical" might be the best song. Its so energetic and catchy. There's plenty of good songs here, in fact I liked them all."Hallucinate" is another banger. "Good in Bed" is the only sexually explicit one up here. The production is great too. Dua is a good singer as well. This album is the first great one of 2020 I've heard. I look forward to more music from Dua Lipa. Lyrics: 24 Beats: 24 Depth: 25 Tilt: 25 Verdict: 98

I'm back with another blog post in what feels like forever. I apologize to the fans and I'll try to at least blog once or twice a week.  Today I wanna give My Thoughts on rapper Ja Rule. When I was a teenager Ja Rule was on top of the charts. I really respected his hits like "Livin it Up", "Between Me and You", "Put it On Me" and the first hit "Holla Holla". Ja Rule was a decent rapper but he was the king of what I call "Melodic Rap". I would say he originated it. Sounds that guys like Drake use a lot today. Even Ja's rival 50 Cent would do a lot of singing. Speaking of 50 Cent. He completely flipped the script on Ja Rule. He joked him for singing a lot which is ironic like is said cause 50 would sing a lot of G-UNit's hits. I didn't get my first Ja Rule album till 2003 when Ja's popularity was beginning to decline. The one I got was Last Temptation; and it was really good. I remember a guy once asked me ...
