Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

Oh yeah another J.T. album! But wait…its his worst album by far! The production is good but JT’s lyrics are corny and uninspired on most songs; like on “Supplies” Lol. Its not all bad tho, some of these melodies are really dope. Surprisingly I really enjoyed the country sounding songs near the end, like “Young Man” and “The Hard Stuff”. The album isn’t bad by any stretch, but its not really up to par with His first 2 albums…..I liked most of the songs so yeah give it a chance. Verdict: 8.4

Transformers The Last Knight Review                 Transformers 5 had an odd whole to fill. Age of Extinction was arguably the worst movie by far. (But still good) Last Knight is just as long I think and features tons of locations and of course special effects. Mark Walberg returns for a main human role, as Craig Yaeger, but he’s far more important to the story this time.                 I’m not going to go through all the details of this movie. That would be honestly be very difficult. The movie has so many different story locations and a lot happens. Basically, its further into the future and the TRF rules much of the world. Transformers are still outlaws which I don’t understand. Optimus Prime left to find his creator(s) at the end of Age of Extinction, so he’s not around.       ...

6) As I Am (92)- This is actually her weakest album. But as you can see its still good. The first 4 songs are really good. Especially “No One”. “Teenage Love Affair” is so sweet and cute. “Wreckless Love” is also a great song. My favorite non single song is “Where Do We Go From Here” where relationship issues come full circle. The album has its fair share of average songs but for the most part its really good. Top Tracks: Like You’ll Never See Me Again, No One, Go Ahead, Teenage Love Affair, Where Do We Go From Here. 5) Girl On Fire (93)- GoF is a great album but not really as interesting as her better albums. The songs are good tho like the title track, “New Day” and “When It’s All Over”. The production is decent here, but her singing/lyrics have been better. The first half is clearly the better half. TT: Girl On Fire, New Day, Fire We Make, Listen to Your Heart, Limitedless. 4) Songs in a Minor (94)- SiAM is the one that started it all. The balladry here is incredible. I ...

Cardi returned in 2017 with another good mixtape. This one is shorter and better. “Lick” is a dope song. “Leave That Bitch Alone” is another smash. I didn’t care too much for “Never Give Up” tho. The album is more of the same. I cannot wait for her first full length album! Verdict: 8.2/10

It was the day of destiny for me when I got my first IPhone a little over a week ago. The phone is big, with a 5.5 inch screen. It’s made for media consumption and to be honest that’s the main reason I bought it. I love Itunes and Apple products. I already have an IPad Air , Ipod touch, and Ipod Classic.                 I like so much about this phone, so I’m going to tell you what I don’t like. Its basic but you have to manually switch between turning mobile data on and off. Android phones do that automatically lol. It’s a small gripe but its something that I don’t like about IPhones.                 Now for the numerous features I do like: Touch ID is blazing fast. Makes my Samsung Galaxy S6’s’ touch sensor look like a snail. The camera is beast. I have barely used it yet tho. The raise to wake feature is really rea...

Droid X2 (2011) Ah man the Droid X2 was my first real smart phone. It was amazing to me. It could do so many things that we unfortunately, take for granted today. Being able to surf the web, add a huge variety of   mobile games, and a fast processor. The Droid X2 did a lot of things right, but it didn’t even have a front facing camera. It also had only 8gb. That wasn’t even much space at the time even in 2011. I ran out of space so quick! Score: 7.5/10 Samsung Galaxy S4 (2013) So after the droid I wasn’t sure which phone I wanted until I saw Jay Z promote the SGS4. This phone was beast. I knew I wanted it. I just went out and bought it. It was improvement over my Droid X2 in every way. Bigger screen, more memory, and a great camera. I remember taking a lot of pics. I think mine had 16gb of memory. I really enjoyed this phone but a little over 2 years later I wanted something new. Score: 8.5/10 Samsung Galaxy S6 (2015) This is where things get inter...

This is a very uneven, poorly executed album. It’s like Common just….fell the f*** off lol. I know that’s not true. But in 2008 it seemed like it. “UMC” the title track is hot. The beat is hot. I really like “Announcement” which also features Pharrell Williams. Kanye shows up on “Punch Drunk Love” which is pretty decent. “Sex 4 Suga” is just god awful. All in all there are too many songs that are just meh. “Gladiator” is good too tho. I am missing it from my digital copy (Bootlegged back in the day hahaha lol). Verdict: 7.3
