808's & Heartbreak




At first, I didn't really care to hear any of this new material... It was just not on my list... Then, I heard all of Love Lockdown and I really didn't like the song (still don't). After a week or so, I heard Heartless and was completely blown away... I really liked the vibe of it and even though I was not too fond of the first single, I liked that neither of these songs had a typical subject matter. Fast forward to the albums release. I have heard the worst things imaginable about this album and I couldn't believe it.. NO ONE LIKED IT! I, being me, casually played the friend role and went along with the comments.

NOW... My thoughts on this new venture:

Kanye West has changed. College Dropout saw backpack, soul-sampled, really cool outta college Kanye. Late Registration showed a man that was getting adjusted to fame and telling his story in the limelight. Graduation, in my opinion, had a more GRADUATED feel to it. It was music for the man that was evolving... Ladies and gentlemen... He's evolved. I think that you will only like 808's and Heartbreak if you get it. You have to understand that this collection of music, done in this fashion, is Kanye West EVOLVING and trying new things. We, especially me, cry and beg for something new and groundbreaking. We always want "outside the box" but can't really take in the informal because it IS outside the box. I think autotune is, "eh... whatever," like everyone else. The thing that I think makes it acceptable in this case is that KANYE ISN'T A WONDERFUL SINGER but he sounds okay, in my opinion, with this tool. I say the album is dope. It takes balls to put this out. This isn't hip hop and definitely isn't Chi-town's finest back in 04. Give it a shot... It's something new. Welcome to 09!

Dragon Ball The Movie



I believe that almost everyone, somewhere deep down, has wanted to see a live action DBZ movie. The problem is... We don't get a DBZ movie do we? NO! We get a Dragonball movie. Not only a regular ass Dragonball movie but one that doesn't look anything like our beloved cartoon. Nostalgia cannot be compromised for style.

You be the judge!

2008 Closes With A Banger!!!



I have come to the conclusion that I am a T Pain fan. This guy has surpassed all expections when it comes to sales and hype. His new album, Thr33 Ringz is so dope it's ridiculous. I recommend it to everyone who has ears and a soul.

YES!



This is the definition of what "NERD" is... I love it all...

PS Peep the dude's "That's what she said" shirt (top right)!

RING IN THE NWO!!!!

DON'T DISOWN ME FOR THIS BUT...



I think that this is the begining of a crap throw. We've rolled the dice by electing Barack Obama and only 8 years of rolling and hitting the wall will tell if we hit that 7!

May the force be with us all...

I Wish I Wore Glasses



This is going to be one hell of a combination. Stik Figa, of Topeka, is a well known artist in the midwest. He teams up with Greg Enemy to create a dynamic composition entitled 'Fly Ass Glasses Remx!'

If you aren't familiar with the original Fly Ass Glasses, download Enemy's EP.

This link will be your guide: http://www.mediafire.com/?e9somrt5myw

Don't Vote For This Hoe!



I guess it's too late to say this but, THIS IS NOT THE FACE OF AMERICA! It will never be. If Johnny Mac kicks the bucket, and is president of our great country, we'll have Daisy Dumbass as the president. WE CANNOT AFFORD THAT! She seems like the type of PERSON that would spend too much at a casino or go bankrupt by her own dumb acts. It's not even that she'll be a person in power that scares me, her party and administration would run everything anyway. The part that really, REALLY scares me is that she would be a person in power that other countries would have to see. Let us not forget that FOREIGN AFFAIRS is something that we need to hold dear to us. NO OTHER COUNTRY WILL TAKE SARAH FROM ALASKA SERIOUS!!!

Pick the lesser of the 4 evils.

I'm behind BARACK OBAMA! Finally!

NEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRD!!!!



THIS IS GOING TO BE MY SH*T!!!

For a Star Wars fan, a self proclaimed nerd, and an advocate for all things DORKY, I fully endorse this movie... As if you care...

Anyway, I'll bet this movie will be number one unless it comes out the same day as a Will Smith movie...

Enjoy

Craig Smith - "Music" Trailer



I, Craig Smith, am working on developing a web based show. It is a visual representation of Craig Smith the rapper and Craig Smith the photographer.

Check it out and give me some feedback...

Doug!



This show is the complete diary of an average kid. It wasn't over the top or boring. It was just enough for me.

1. Porkchop was the smartest dog in the world
2. Doug had Ms. Mayonaise in the bag... just didn't know it
3. Roger was green!

Salute to Doug Funnie. He made us laugh and made us feel sorry for him! What happened to cartoons like this?


This dude rocks. His name is Greg Enemy and he has a point to make... The point is simple. HE ROCKS! Sorry, no big guess as to who he is or what he does. With an undeniable flow and earth-shattering production, Enemy turns heads. Fly concepts, big words, and all the swag you need to satisfy your morning style craving. Take time to check out Greg Enemy's EP. It's free!

Rock N Rolla



I have to admit that when this movie began, I was skeptical. First of all, I did not realize that the feature had commenced. I was invited to the preview for this movie which was being held at a plush movie theater with a BAR! A FREAKING BAR!!! Realizing that this was not a joke and was the studio's attempt to really SELL this movie and have lots of people talking, I got my hopes up.


This movie starts off IN THE STORY! You get no warning. You're in it. No hand holding and walking you through. Every scene, something happens. Every shot is flawless. I was in awe. The skepticism comes from my AMERICAN need for a guided tour through everything before we begin. That's what lost me. However, after I broke my shell and got over my closed-mindedness, I began to anticipate the next scene.


There are no heroes, no villians, no sick humor like that which was portrayed in this movie. I give it a thumbs up!
