And that joke of a super bowl too. Seemed scripted beyond belief.

Even the pilot, at least when I first watched it, felt like a slow version of 28 days later. I mean Rick waking up in the empty hospital and walking out to nothing was pretty much a direct ripoff of the opening to that movie. But the infected were far more terrifying than WD. The first season besides the pilot was…

Quik's problem has always been lyrics, but behind the boards, I would put Dre, Cold 187um and Quik at the top of the west coast producer pyramid. Quik and 187um are very skilled musicians. Even though I am not a huge fan of Kendrick's or an Eminem, I think both are very skilled rappers, and I would have loved to…

Nah the only good track on it was Loose Cannons with Cold 187um and Xzibit

BDP's Sex and Violence and Pete Rock and CL Smooth's Mecca and the Soul Brother are the two albums I have been listening to. Bought an old record player, and wanted to dust off some classics. Just listened to Dj Quik's Way to Funky last night, and surprised with how dope the production on that was. I would love to…

Man, Kendrick is dope no doubt, but I just can't get into dude's music. No doubt he is dope on the mic, but his voice is annoying, and his beat selection leaves a lot to be desired. I have enjoyed bits and pieces of all of his albums but none are classic in my opinion. Guru always said "it's mostly the voice", and…

You burned me there man. Maybe I need to watch Season 2-4, because the first season was hard to get through. Julie Dreyfus character is a repugnant character, and her staffers are either buffoons, or power hungry d-bags. The show was heartless, especially compared to a vastly superior show like Parks and Rec, which…

Both shows are pretty bad in my opinion. My sister had me watch Veep a month ago when she was in town. I had heard so many good things about that show, then when I watched it, and was thoroughly disapointed. It had funny enough moments and most of the actors I like, but something about it, seemed off. I liked the…

I still remember the attitude era. So entertaining. I tried watching Raw for the first time in years last week, and liked the Shane O'Mac return, so I figured I would give it a shot this week, and man was it dissapointing. I don't think I will return to watching wrestling. True about John Cena. I still remember…

Mackelmore is the white Will Smith. He raps happy and doesn't want to offend anyone. Unfortunately, real hip hop heads look at him as a gimmicky joke. The soft beats and whiny raps don't help either. Aesop Rock is an artist. He will never be a success in the record sales department, but like El-P, he is a dope…

I don't know, if I heard any popular rapper from today back in 93, I would probably laugh my ass off at how bad it is compared to the hip hop of 93. Like the apparent genius of a Kanye West. He would have been laughed off the stage back then.

Aceyalone, Ghanja K, Volume 10, Mikah 9. Ras Kass, Ahmad, been in the studio with Cold 187um, Warren G, Snoop during the early Black Mafia Life/Chronic days. I pointed out UTFO because I am getting up there in years. Granted early 80's rap wasn't that good either. Maybe I am being hyperbolic, because there are…

Considering I have been listening to this music since UTFO, and been involved with some of the best mc's to ever do it back in the days of the good life cafe in South Central, I do know a little bit about what i am talking about. Pusha T brings nothing new to the table. Simple boring lyrics, talking about the same…

Another average album from an average rapper. I must be getting old, cuz a lot of the post 2000's hip hop is just lame. Not a fan of Kanye, and never thought the Clipse was anything special. I would give it a C+

Run the Jewels was so much more sonically advanced than TPAB, but El-P has always been a guy who takes the latest industrial sounds and combines them with an old school boom bap feel. To me El-P is a guy who pushes the envelope, always has, since Company Flow. Lyrically Run The Jewels is a much more enjoyable listen…

Replay value for me, means, do I want to play this again and again, not whether the songs get airplay. I am a purist, so hip hop doesn't need any airplay to get attention from me. If the album is good, it's good, and I want to keep spinning the album until I get sick of it. In the early 90's, i still can pull out…

While I can appreciate Kendrick, and the dude has some skills on the mic, but ultimately, I find his music to be just average. TPAB has very little replay value, and I thought GKMC was half really good and half meh. Nothing this dude has done would get constant spins from me. I must be getting old, because there is…

The only reason I check out this show is because of my wife. I really like Taraji as she is usually great in everything she is in. I really enjoyed her in the far superior Person of Interest, and she is good in this, but this show is really silly. My biggest gripe is that this is supposed to be about hip hop, yet I…
