That's Aight



At the moment, I am forced to litter this page with unfinished thoughts and superficial ramblings. Of course the reason for this is that if one were to personify the actual time it takes me to produce a piece it would most assuredly resemble the weathered face of George Bernard Shaw.

On Music
  • Blu and Exile's Beneath the Heavens is a refreshing bit of hip-hop. Exile devours 9th Wonder with his soul-sample patchwork and thundering drums while Blu spits with the wisdom of an old-soul that makes the commonplace seem sensational.
  • Talib Kweli's Eardrum is not as mediocre as The Beautiful Struggle especially with Madlib, Kanye and Pete Rock providing the beats. My issues with it are much more fundamental as I'll attempt to describe in a later review.
  • Aesop Rock's None Shall Pass is of high quality. Thank you Blockhead.
  • Liars Liars is noisy.
  • Black Lips Good Bad Not Evil, as much as I hate to admit it, is pretty good, though it is an almost exact replica of its influences.

Who's Wack

  • will.i.am (please stop killing our favorite rappers)
  • Deerhunter (please shut up; narcissism without substance is unbecoming)
