The funny thing is, I thoroughly enjoyed the Lego movie because it was good. Who cares if it's a money grab, if it's good, then I'll check it out, and judging by all of the early reviews, this will be good too. Every kids movie has a toy line with it. Zootopia was fantastic, and had a big toy line, all of the Star…

I used to love the southern hip hop scene from geto boys up until No limit, cash money and triple shit mafia became popular, and those guys single handedly ruined it for me. But GB and rap a lot, Outkast, UGK, 8ball and MJG made great music, full of dope beats and timely rhymes. Today, rap in general is pretty corny…

I will agree that this album has some thumpers, but the new E-40 is a double album full of slappers, difference is 40 is a superior mc that I enjoy listening too, these guys, not so much. I don't really care for southern hip hop, at least not since the time frame I mentioned. Why listen to Big Krit, when I can just…

They aren't terrible like every other "trap" rapper. But good lord, this is not good music. The fact that this gets a B+, while a superior in every single way RTJ3 gets the same grade, is why I have said for months that AVclub should just hang it up when it comes to rap and hip hop reviews. Southern hip hop is…

Can't disagree with you there. All the Uncharted games are just fun in my opinion, but yes, 2 is the peak. 4 just looks so good and the story is so good, that I overlook some of the tired gameplay concepts. Agree also on Last of us, masterpiece is the word I would use. Try the Witcher 3 though, it's fantastic, and…

Hell yeah, I am really looking forward to some new R&M. Fargo i think just finished casting for season 3 so that may be a ways away. Game of Thrones and Americans are about the only things I am looking forward to this year in tv. I know I will get some flack for this next comment, but I don't really understand the…

I will second that one, ossimer!!!

I almost forgot about the FF 7 remake. That will be amazing, but will it come out this year??

Loved Uncharted 4, like playing an 8 hour action movie. Last of Us is simply amazing.

No God of War 4 on the list, or is that coming out in 18? What about South Park: the fractured butt whole?

I'm old too, and I honestly dislike every mainstreram hip hop album out there, they are just awful, but RTJ is incredible, and their are still dope artists in the underground

El-P is like a hip hop quotable every time he grabs the mic. Granted to really get all of El-P's lines, repeat listens are a must. Just listen to Company Flow's funcrusher plus. That album was like one long lyrical orgy. Killer Mike has a much less complex style, but is still very enjoyable. That is why they play…

De La record was decent but the Tribe album was lightyears better. De La was kind of boring.

That Czarface was straight fire.

Ka is dope, I've liked his and roc marciano stuff for a while.

Chance the rapper has one the most annoying voices in hip hop, acid rap was average and coloring book was down right terrible. How this dude is popular is a mystery to me.

Really dope track, but I had to question Mike as to why he was even wasting his time on Bernie, he knows the whole game is rigged. The Bernie shilling was quite comical to me.

I don't usually agree with your hip hop reviews as you guys tend to give some truly bad albums a lot of love, but I like this review. RTJ is what hip hop should sound like, dope beats, 2 mc's trading dope verses front to back, these guys harken back to the golden era, where it was about skills, lyrics and…

I totally get that and I agree with most of what your saying, and yes I see that my comments make me sound old. I think the biggest issue for me, is that i was heavily involved in the music from a young age, and there were certain things that were so taboo in hip hop that today is just not a big deal. Selling out…

What an incredible comeback man, ad hominem attacks on my age. Really creative. I will make sure I give those clouds a real piece of my mind, lol. I was specifically talking about rap, not music in general, and yes golden era rap from 87-94 is light years better then anything that hip hop has done in 20 yrs.
