Hmmm.. I may convert this blog to become a blog about music I'm listening to, and also updates of Manchester United. My two strongest passions.
But before I get into a proper post, as I'm too far behind in my course to do so, I'll just summarise.
Lynwood Rose- inventive, creative, cool. Music from D'Angelo, Raphael Saadiq and Q-Tip. Catchy jazz-infused, melodic jams. 8/10
Busta Rhymes- Back on my B.S. Disappointment. So you wanted to try something different, fair enough. This effort though is kind of like the musical equivalent of a variety pack, where you only like 1 flavour. Uninspired, and Busta's flow is only good when he gets back to his standard rapid fire spitting. 3/10.
Ocean's 7- They released a mixtape. Promised much, but left underwhelmed. JD hogs the limelight too much on the mic. Some smooth moments, but too formulaic and pop. Still has potential, but the jury is out. 6/10
Currently listening to:
Quite Nyce "Hello...my name is Quite Nyce". Nicely chilled beats, good flow that isn't repetitive. Pays attention to the production level, which is always important in an up-and-coming. Has left me anticipating his forthcoming album, so the mixtape has done its job. 8/10.
Man Utd 2-1 Arsenal
We played terribly, started with Giggs up front with Rooney, though Giggs spent most of the game either on the left side or too deep. Rooney was essentially a lone striker. We were outplayed in most facets of the game, gave up possession too easily. Evra was our best player by far. Arshavin scored a mad goal, but we won due to a dubiously given penalty, and an unbelievable Abou Diaby own goal. No pressure on him, but I guess he was caught in two minds, whether to head it away from goal, or behind for a corner. So we chalked up an important but flukey victory.
