Child’s Play is a reboot of the classic 1988 horror movie of the same name but unfortunately, the title is the only thing that this remake shares with its predecessor. The poster and the trailer for this movie boasts about it coming from the “producers of IT” and […]
“Madame X” is an alter-ego of Madonna and the name of her latest album. In a similar way to Nicki Minaj’s “Roman”, Beyonce’s “Sasha Fierce” and Canibus’ “Rip The Jacker”, this is an artist who realises they’ve been making banal music and so reinvents themselves with a different […]
According to the title of Lil Yachty‘s latest album, he has “Nuthin’ 2 Prove“. That’s strange, I thought he still had to prove he can make a listenable album. Well, apparently not, because this his third LP is very much like his previous offerings; dumbed-down, repetitive shite with […]
Remember back in the 1980s when sequels beyond a trilogy were considered sub-par? From Jaws 4 to Rocky V, the further the series went, the worse it became. Unfortunately these days, the rules have changed. From Fast And The Furious to Saw, every shite movie has umpteen sequels […]
Philly underground Hip-Hop legends Jedi Mind Tricks today release their 9th studio album The Bridge And The Abyss and with the cover artwork similar to 2015’s The Thief And The Fallen, this is more of a follow-on from that LP than any of their earlier albums. This however […]
Nas’ latest album Nasir is out today and unfortunately it’s a disappointment. This LP is not only short, it’s also mediocre, almost sounding like it was created in the space of a few hours with some left-over production from Kanye West. The overall feeling is underwhelming to say […]
Decades ago, rap groups like M.O.P. and Onyx used to shout their lyrics in an aggressive way and although their topics were generally the same, their choruses, music videos, and most importantly albums always contained enough variation to be worthy of praise. I guess in terms of vocal […]
Eminem, the great white, late nineties, early noughties hype has finally dropped Revival, his err… what is this, his ninth album? Now before I go on I’ll point out that I was never a fan of his; his audio and visual aesthetic was too cartoonish, his voice was […]
Everybody’s favourite overrated rapper is back with his fourth studio album and at this point Kendrick Lamar can do no wrong, at least in his fans’ eyes. Even at the mere glimpse of some artwork or a “leaked” track, Lamar’s minions flood Twitter with a barrage of praise […]
‘AIM’ is one of the most disappointing albums in recent years, the fact that it comes from the once credible M.I.A. it’s even more of a letdown. In one of my previous articles, I compared M.I.A. to Madonna – someone who found cutting edge producers to make her […]
It’s been a while since Lil Wayne released any music so it’s easy to forget the amount of horrendous Hip-Hop he’s made throughout his career. That being said, Lil Wayne is the go-to scapegoat for the commercialisation of Hip-Hop, so while the masses ignore the other co-conspirators (Dr. […]
It’s really irritating when you discover that a film which has been widely praised and critically acclaimed is in fact a disappointment. Case in point “It Follows”, a supernatural Horror movie about a murderous spirit which begins to follow you after you’ve had sex, like a game of […]
There have been many occasions recently when we’ve been told that an upcoming film is “huge in scale”, “big in scope”, or “epic”, but once you’re finally able to watch the movie it becomes plain that this hype was merely a marketing ploy to sell a mediocre product. […]
Both credible music and credible sub-culture has been quietly hi-jacked and replaced by forgeries over the last twenty years or so. Case in point; Chris Brown, who looks like the result of the four members of Color Me Badd somehow procreating with each other, and whose vocals pretty […]
It’s strange to think that back in the mid-nineties Michael Bay was a credible up-and-coming Action Director who made three enjoyable films back-to-back. Between 1995 and 1998, he Directed ‘Bad Boys’, ‘The Rock’, and ‘Armageddon’ all of which perfectly romanticised 20th Century Americana. In those days, seeing Bay’s […]
