Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

 This is an album I liked a whole lot from first listen. I just love how personal he is on this album. His mom kinda acts as an unofficial narrator here. The album gets off to a good start with its first 3 tracks. "Noid", the lead single is really creative with its African singing and dope beat. I've just got to say while Tyler as an MC is as good as ever, the beats here are phenomenal. "Sticky" is my favorite song. It features GloRilla, Sexyy Red, & Lil Wayne. "I Killed You" was another highlight. I really enjoyed "Thought I Was Dead" which featured Schoolboy Q and Santigold. Some songs like "Judge Judy" were a little odd....but all in all I liked most every song. Overall its honestly hard to say if this is Tyler's best album....at first I thought it was but then I've given older albums like Call Me If You Get Lost as spin and I don't think this eclipses that.  Lyrics 23 Beats 25 Depth 24 Tilt 23 Verdict 95

Long story short this is a great return to form for Ariana. Sure her last album Posistions wasn't bad but it was a little below her standards. This one is incredible tho...somewhere around where Thank U,Next was. The best song is "the boy is mine" a take on the classic song by Brandy and Monica. And notice how those 2 lent their talents to a radio remix of the song! "yes, and?" is another terrific song. You gotta admit "bye" is a real bop too. Ariana's lyrics and singing is terrific here. The production I found pretty damn good too....if maybe a step behind the lyrical performance. Honestly there aren't really any bad songs here. No its not her best album but its not that far behind.

 I haven't done a video game review in a while...and trust me I had a ton of video game reviews I planned to do. Hey here we are at a review of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. I gotta admit this game was WAY better than I expected. Lets get into it. In this game you start surprisingly as Link (as every other game in the series)....and you fight Ganon right away at full hearts etc. Its pretty exciting...but after that Link falls into a portal and you find yourself playing as Zelda. Zelda goes to the castle only to see her father, the king fall into a rift (portal) and then imposters come out. After that Zelda gets blamed for the rifts and is thrown in jail.  I'll try to minimize spoilers but you get help from a little yellow fairy thing called Tri. Tri can make copies or echoes of objects or enemies. Its so helpful and unique. While watching other play this game on twitch I'd be like "wow I didn't solve the puzzle like that..." or "wow I didnt beat the enemy that ...

 Ok so before I get to this review...I do have an iPhone 12. IDK why I didnt review it. I might review it but honestly Im looking for an upgrade. But you're here of the AirPods review.  Basically these are very good AirPods. I went with these over the AirPods pros. These have noise cancelation....and its very effective. The sound of these things are great too! AirPods really fit great in my ear too. The case also makes a little sound when I charge it....and I know it will play a sound when you use the Find My app. It's not all good tho....The AirPods lower volume to read text messages and sometimes if I try and say something the volume while listening to music will stay low for a while. A small complaint but it happens sometimes.  Overall these are very good AirPods. Ive also had the original AirPods and the 3rd generation. These are definitely worth the money. Verdict: 9.3

 While this is probably the most easily digestible Kendrick album yet....I didn't wanna rush my review. This is an album that got better the more I listened to it. Kendrick really spits well here. The album is mostly banger songs with few concepts. The production is really good...as good as any he's rapped on. "Wacced Out Murals" is an excellent intro....and who isn't feeling the major banger that is "Squabble Up". Kdot and SZA showcase great chemistry on the Luther Vandross sampling "Luther". "Reincarnated" is another highlight as he tackles an old 2pac beat. I didnt like every song as the title track is kinda lackluster. I love how we tells his story on "Heart Pt. 6.". The album closer, "Gloria", is strong too. Ultimately I feel this is a weaker album in his discography but its still a terrific album.  Lyrics 24 Beats 24 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 94
