Track Review: Charli XCX-Von Dutch
“Von Dutch” is the opening single from Charli XCX’s album Brat, which comes out on June 7th. That is a record we will be discussing when it comes out for sure. And this single has me hyped.
Bow To Your Queen: A Preview of Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism
It is a well known fact that Dua Lipa is the world’s greatest popstar. She just is. The voice, the production, the hooks, the costumes, the choreography….I just don’t know what to say. I really enjoy the music of Dua Lipa. I genuinely think she’s an underrated artist and that’s saying something because she’s one of the biggest stars on the planet.
I’m Ready To Talk About The Tortured Poet’s Department by Taylor Swift
So many drum machines.
New York 9s: We Still Don’t Trust You (The Mixtape)
This is the Holy Grail of recent Future projects, because it’s basically everything we’ve ever asked of Future. Mean, angry, blistering trap bangers. Future is one of, if not the best, rapper alive and this little mixtape should be celebrated as his latest triumph, not as a throwaway mixtape.
We Still Don’t Trust You-Future & Metro Boomin
This album will definitely age well, though probably in a different way, as evidence of both Metro and Future’s more experimental and off of the straight and narrow style music. It’s got a much softer, pop-esque record, with very different production and songwriting from the first
We Don’t Trust You- Future & Metro Boomin
They’ve made a lot of classics before and it’s been a while since we got a heavy dose of Future/Metro. So naturally my expectations were high.
Let’s Look At: Fortnite C5S2: “Myths and Mortals”
The new Fortnite season is peak Greek greatness. Welcome to the land of Myths and Mortals where mythical beings fight….well, mortals. Like us. And let me tell you, it is a welcome change…
Rating Every Monsterverse Movie by How Much I Like Them
Godzilla X Kong: A New Empire is almost here, and I can’t wait to see it. The Monsterverse has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, mostly because big monsters destroying things rules. I’m not sure I need to explain myself further.
Rap Snacks Reviews: Rick Ross Sweet Chili Lemon Pepper
The Rick Ross Sweet Chili Lemon Pepper is a gem amongst potato chips. It may not be the most technically perfect Rap Snack or the most appealing Rap Snack, but of the chips, it’s easily the most intriguing.
“Us” Is A Chilling Indictment of Classism
This film is a great example of smart, nuanced horror in every department from the writing to the shots to the pacing. This movie will frighten you and has some good scares, but they never feel cheap or forced. It’s held together by dark, but tight and brilliant writing as opposed to simple jump scares and gags.
Bottoms-Movie Review
This is a 2020s Roger Waters movie. There’s just a lot going on here and for the most part, I thought it was great.
Helldivers II: First Impressions
A little late, as always, but believe me when I say I’ve been playing a lot of Helldivers 2 recently. And this is more than just hype. This game is good. Really good. It’s the online co-op game we’ve needed for a long time.
Elden Ring Shadow of The Erdtree Trailer: Thoughts and Reactions
Finally, it’s here! Or at least the trailer- we know it exists. Elden Ring’s “Shadow of The Erdtree” DLC is coming out on June 21st, right in time to dominate the summer.
Rap Snacks Reviews: Lil Baby “All In” Chips
Rap Snacks are like the occupants of the Animal Farm. Some Rap Snacks are good, but some are gooder than others. This one is gooder than others.
Barbie Got Me Messed Up
Barbie was one of the best movies I have seen recently, at any level. It’s such a brilliantly shot, acted and designed movie that sometimes you forget the foundation it stands on is this perfectly written, perfectly structured script. It artfully moves you from Act to Act smoothly, and there’s never really a sense of a loss of pace. There could be an argument made that the occasional singing and dancing scenes could take you out of the movie, but because this movie is Barbie, I would argue it absolutely doesn’t.
Paris Texas Is The Future of Music
Rap and rock have traditionally been opposed. Both genres and their conventions have lent themselves to elements of rawness, but together, there is a bitter harmony that I believe will be the defining sound of the 2020s before the decade is up. Enter Paris Texas, an alternative hip hop group comprised of rapper-producers Loiue Pastel and Felix.
This Is Not A Drill: Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo Review
Went to the store to buy Flaming Hot Cheetos and a vape. BANG! There they were. The new Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo Cheetos
“The Oxbow Incident” Is A Haunting Story of Justice Gone Wrong
he Oxbow Incident might seem like a small film. But its emotional impact is devastating. This is a classic Western, but it really is underrated as a classic film. Very few movies have told a story this chilling as simply and succinctly.
