Tech Review: Iphone 12

 Ok so I want to review this phone before I eventually get a new one. This is my 2nd iPhone I've ever had. I know...shocking right? What I didn't remember is this is the first iPhone lineup to not include headphones or a charger in the box. I have the product Red version of this phone. Red is my favorite color so it was a match made in heaven lol.

I love the flat edges of the phone. Also I gotta talk about what was a big change....the no home button and reliance on Face ID. For the most part Face ID works great. Its fast and snappy. Of course during the pandemic Apple had to adjust it to read with a face mask on.The whole new gesture system didn't really take me too long to get used to. 

I feel the screen is really good on it...even in 2025. Of course it was slimmer than my iPhone 8 Plus's screen but hey who's complaining. Im trying to be fair here....yeah ive had this phone since April 2021....and the battery is really starting to be poor.....When it was new though it was great. 

Cameras are great too. I feel like I haven't taken as many photos as I did with my iPhone 8 Plus.....Ultimately I'm very happy with the Apple ecosystem in 2025. I still use iTunes....yeah yeah I have tried Apple Music. It was ok. But I like iTunes. I like owning the music. I have over 20,000 tracks on my iPhone and thats just what will fit up there!



Verdict 9.5/10

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Album Review: Clipse- Let God Sort Em Out

Well I didn't rush this review, I've had some time to sit with this album. It's a hell of a comeback album. Pusha T and Malice are deadly as ever on the mic. The album lyrically is intense. Production is pretty good too but I expected slightly more from an album produced entirely by Pharrell Williams. Speaking of Pharrell, he's all over this album...sometimes not just relegated to a hook. The album gets off to a great start with "The Birds Don't Sing" where both brothers talk about their parents who passed. Pusha T raps about his Mom. Malice about his dad. I really liked the vibe of "All Things Considered"; the The-Dream feature is good. That brings me to the features....like a monster one from Kendrick Lamar on "Chains & Whips". Tyler the Creator does well on "P.O.V.". Nas is on the 2nd last track and he does well too. "M.T.B. T. T. F." is fire, and it stands for Mike Tyson Blow to the Face lol. Ultimately its h...

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...
