Album Review: Ice Cube The Predator

Predator is yet another great Ice Cube album. He talks about a lot of what he did on his first 2 albums. Cube raps about the injustices against the black community in America. Cube proves to be a great storyteller. I feel the skits kind of break up the album’s rhythm a little bit, but otherwise the album is really deep. Dirty Mack, It Was a Good Day, and The Predator are some dope songs. Ultimately this is a must have album, but it’s easy to see that Cube was running out of things to rap about. 9.3/10

Album Review: Dr. Dre The Chronic

Dr. Dre’s first album is a classic. The production is genre defining. The smooth and dangerous sounding beats by the Dr. are incredible. The guests are pretty good also, but Snoop shines on every song he’s on. Dr. Dre holds his own lyrically too. The album opens with the excellent F*** Wit Dre Day which takes shots at Eazy-E. Let Me Ride is another banger. The last song is also really good. Dr. Dre makes only hot albums man! West-side! 9.8/10 this is a dope album

Video Game Review: A Link to the Past

Zelda A Link to the Past was one of the first games in the illustrious series. I recently beat it again today (with 113 Deaths). It's a very very challenging game. You basically just move around and slash with your sword and use items. The game is simple...on the surface. It actually takes place after Ocarina of Time, but ironically it's the game blueprint for Ocarina. The game starts out pretty slowly. You help your Uncle who gets really sick/injured take his sword and head out to rescue Princess Zelda from the clutches of the evil Aganahim. *Spoiler Alert* the evil wizard is none other than Ganon the demon king himself....You eventually go to 3 dungeons to get 3 pendants to unlock the evil destroying blade, the master sword. After that you head to the dark world to free the seven sages...(Although this isn't your first time in the dark world.) The game then gets a lot tougher. Enemies do more damage,and take more. It's not until you temper the master sword to Lv...
