That Sauce Walka is tight. I feel like he is one of the better rappers I discovered in last few years. Props to drizzle for being an early promoter of Junglepussy when her first mixtape dropped many years ago. I think she is my favorite artist at this point. JP4 was my favorite album of 2020, droppi...

During a spell of boredom I made top 10's from the last two years since I think it's a good way of keeping track of things you like and thinking about why you like them. While 2018 was a fairly great year 2019 was a bit wack and the good stuff mostly came out in the fourth quarter. However the best ...

Only one I listened to was Bad Azz. His first album had the banger Ghetto Star and a decent joint with Kurupt. Half a decade later he had an album out on Doggystyle Records during the old guard WC revival of the early 00's following the buzz from the single No Idea from Snoop's Last Meal album. That...

Really pleased with the album. All I wanted from this was dope beats and decent raps and it totally delivers. Daringer has put out a lot of wack or at least boring beats in the past few years, esp on recent releases by Conway and Benny, and this is a real return to form. Reading a bit around the int...

he didnt like this one right? "cant believe I fucked up and made a half assed album" Yeh he expressed that sentiment a few times on his later albums. It seems to really bother him. His only excuse is... his pops just died! I like his first solo a lot better and Superthug is one of the few non-Clips...

HWH7 might be my favorite release by WSG but its an early verdict. The group effort from Griselda will be out at the end of next month and I'm very hyped for it. Think them rapping together might motivate Conway to rap properly and from what I understand it will be their first official release on Sh...

Parasite (2019) - Bong's Cannes winner is a highly enjoyable dark comedy. As usual with Korean films it revolves around class issues like last year's highly praised Burning. Diego Maradonna (2019) - Really pro sport docu about the most colorful character of the world's biggest sport. Would have like...

Its weird how this became a culture war phenomenon before even being released with people going nuts on the internet and outbidding each other in strange performative outrage with the director willingly fanning the flames. The actual film is not really what a lot of hysterics wanted it to be and *kn...

The Wild Goose Lake (2019) - Perhaps my favorite film of this year thus far. It has been criticized for being style over substance, which is clearly is but I have no problem with that. Basically it's a mainland Chinese gangster noir that looks like Refn and feels like Kitano. It is one of the most g...

Raphael De La Ghetto wrote:Ben Shapiro only knows rap from when he used to go to Scribble Jam. So he has a point.

Rakim is not a poet of the Leonard Cohen caliber.

Piranhas (2019) - A film about adolescent thugs from Napoli based on a Saviano novel. It's an enjoyable mob film but also a bit formularic. It lacks the emotional depth of a top tier drama but also the action of a fully accomplished popcorn film. Divine Love (2019) - An erotic and futuristic Christi...

rgXplohCw5o Been anticipating this since the first trailer came out a few months ago. I'm excited that its an R-rated movie and it looks like it works as a stand alone for people who aren't usually interested in comic book films. Also the trailer alone really seems to piss off the most annoying kin...

Hitting cinemas this weekend, if you didn't know.

Think it looks incredible. A decade ago Rambo was a breath of fresh air in the action genre and this looks like it might be just as good.

High Life (2019) - If you wanted a dull and technically accomplished art house film about people fapping in deep space then your prayers have been answered. The Golden Glove (2019) - Second year in a row we get a serial killer film from a respected auteur. This one is about Fritz Honka of post war H...

I can't even think of anything else where the disparity between reviews and audience reactions have been so noticeable and revealing.

Some of you guys must have seen this by now? I enjoyed the film but also wished for either a more structured plot or at least more trademark QT craziness. In a weird way this might be his most mature film aside from Jackie Brown. It made for some slightly painful scenes to sit through, the one with ...

That new Chapelle is amazing. I don't really like stand up all that much and I didn't enjoy the shows from a few years ago, hated the latest Chris Rock as well, but I haven't seen anything as funny since the mid 00's classics.

Fyre (2019) - Really funny docu about the trainwreck Insta festival. Made me think of similar situations where someone you know plans an event and you try to warn them it will be a disaster but the person doesn't back down before its too late. Under the Silver Lake (2018) - This meandering conspirac...

Had to wait forever. Release date was pushed back by two weeks :owens: Agree with drizzle I think. Hereditary really hit me hard and the family drama really struck my guts fiercely, there's something similar at work here but it didn't have the same devastating impact. The relationship bit left me ki...

:leon: Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) - Didn't dislike this as much as a lot of other people. In fact I rather liked it. The Intouchables (2011) - Very late to get around to watching this but the film is every bit as good and charming as its reputation. Barbed Wire Dolls (1976) - One of the sleazier WIP film...

I hope the songs were cut from the albums because the beats were too good

In the Cannes press conference Refn talks a bit about Trump but it didn't make a lot of sense. I don't get the sense he is very political at all so perhaps he is rather channeling the apocalyptic mood many people are in these days, it's certainly a theme throughout the show. If you look at the drawi...

biHUTtV4K40 Strickland's new film is finally out tomorrow on VOD. Looks like the wait for Midsommar, Ari Aster's new film, is almost over. Here it's out the same day as the new film from Alexandra Aja, who I stopped following after Piranha 3D because his two most recent films look a bit weak. But h...

Did you spot this, CQ? Yeah and I even thought Magdalena reminded me a lot of 80's Fenech. The shot is actually repeated in ep 9 with different characters but it's a bit of a spoiler so... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D9VqzZtU8AAzbQi.png:large There is some great discussion of TOTDY in the podcast o...
