Movie Review: Lord of the Rings:Fellowship of the Ring

I am a huuuuge Lord of the Rings fan. I just could tell from the previews that was gonna like these movies. It just seemed really cool. I didn't see it until sometime before April 2002. It was very good. I had never read the books but i would read this one and Return of the King years later. Them books are too long. Okay so im not gonna have much info on the movie but Spoilers will be below. BUT HONESTLY, why do I need to say that for a 17 year old movie? I'd like to divide this up into what i Like, and what I didn't or what i think they could improve on. What I Liked The movie starts out with huge flashback battle. Its really well narrated and executed. You see "A last alliance of men and elves" fought to defeat the evil  Sauron and his band of elves. the battle is furious. The fight is won by the good guys. Sauron's ring of power is very...powerful and id described to have a mind of its own. This ring of power cannot be destroyed but only in th...

My Thoughts: Barbadian Queen Rihanna

Rihanna is my favorite singer. I feel like I didn't really know a lot about her. I feel that she is a truly wonderful woman and she is SUPREMELY talented and a very beautiful. She is a tall woman from the Island of Barbados. I'm pretty sure my readers know of her. I feel the more I learn about her. The more intrigued I am by her. She's very passionate about what she does. Rihanna released 4 albums from 2009-2012. That's 4 years and all 4 albums were 90 rated (or above) which is incredible. I just feel she's a wonderful woman. I didnt know she was an ambassador fo rher country. She also is really into fashion. I think that what makes her perhaps the most dominant Pop-R&B artist of this current era is the fact that she is REAL. There is no fakeness with Rihanna. I can understand that an artist has to promote themselves for their music. But you don't get the sense "Artist Rihanna" is not the girl from "Barbados". I graded albums...

NBA Favorite Playoff Series Lakers vs. Kings 02: Best Battle for Cali Supremacy

This series GOT ME INTO the nba. It was to this day the BEST I’ve seen overall. Kings were up 2-1. Up 2 in Staples. Horry hits a MIRACLE shot to beat Kings by 1 point….Im tellin you I saw it live. He saved the Lakers with that shot, big shot Rob. However, the lakers won the battle but not the west yet. Kings won game 5 by 1. So then Lakers win Game 6 barely. I think after a heartbreaking Game 6 loss (Refs did cheat lol) the Kings had nothing left in the tank.   I do believe 100% that a healthy Kings sweep the Nets in the finals. Or maybe win in 5. Series Grade: A+

Album Review: Eminem-Kamikaze

Shady has done it again! I like this album. Its kind of like Recovery part 2, however there is no….super positive message tho. Eminem is pissed the f*** off at..his fans and mumble rappers. I actually feel he’s justified to be pissed at both. Think about it. He’s the highest sellin rapper of ALL TIME. But his fans claimed Revival, his 2017 outing sucked? Peep my review for Revival.  https://maxreviewsandthoughts.blogspot.com/2017/12/album-review-eminem-revival.html?q=eminem The production was lackluster. That’s all. His lyricism is great here and word play is too. I feel yet again the production is below Em’s standards. I mean this guy once rapped over Dr. Dre beats like The Real Slimshady. I due believe we’ll get another album one day from this top 5 all time MC. Where does Eminem rank all time to me? Hmm. 1)Pac 2)Jay-Z, 3)Biggie 3)Nas 5) Eminem. Overall Rating 92 Grade A- Lyrics 24 Beats 22 Depth 23 ...

Album Review: The Carters (Jay-Z & Beyonce)-Everything is Love

This album goes so hard!Jay and B have done it again. But tbh, this album didn’t surprise me. I KNEW it would be good. I don’t really have a lot to say. Beyonce and Rihanna been hanging with Nicki Minaj too much. Both are competent MCs. Jay-Z is great here! I felt the lyricism and production was dope af. If anything the album is short, under 40 minutes. The song Apes**t is my favorite track. The albums seem to be shorter in 2018. Point is, this album is not deserving of any unfair criticism . The album sounds perfectly 2000s and perfectly up to date to me. We are more likely to see Carters 2 than Watch the Throne 2, and that makes me sad. Overall Rating 98 Grade A+ Lyrics 24 Beats 24 Depth 25 Tilt 25

My Thoughts: Queens of Rap Showdown

Okay so as you I am a huge fan of Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. I’m actually glad I waited to make this till now. Because now they really are BEEFING. Beef is actually good for the rap game…however I feel that when it gets physical….its gone too FAR. We lost Biggie and 2pac over beef…both have been gone over 20 years. Cardi B is the new kid on the block so to speak. She is really good rapper, and has exceeded my expectations thus far. Nicki Minaj is the Establishment. She’s the best right now. What other female rappers aspire to be. So this is not about if either skilled or not. It seems that Nicki started the beef. Let’s face it she’s jealous of Cardi. She After all took Lil Kim down from her throne in like 2009-2010. So I can understand that…but the more and more I hear of their subliminal disses to each other on various songs….Like Nicki on Motorsport or Cardi on No Limit. Nicki claims Cardi doesn’t write her own lyrics….I’m like so f***in what. Anyways this story is ongoin...
