30 episodes in (I can't believe there has already been that many) and the gang are still entertaining to listen to. The original idea was that each episode was going to be Glenn, Charlie and Rob speaking about each episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but there have been some spin-offs like a call-in show and one where they just got together and drank. With each episode, the amount of time actually spent discussing the episode seems to have dropped. Charlie has admitted that he doesn't really enjoy it as he finds it self-serving. Sometimes the tangents they go on are great, others not so much. Personally, I'd prefer more time spent discussing the details of the episodes. Getting Danny and other guests like Jimmi Simpson on the podcast would be other worthy additions.

Everywhere I look this is called 'Whitey Material'. It's an obvious typo and/or weird font that has been used because the name makes no sense in the first place and the lyrics are clearly 'Wifey Material'. I can't find a lot of info on this, but it's on their Spotify (Edit - It was removed). The cover has 1990 written on it but 'The Rah Rah' is from the 2002 album, IIcons, 'Wifey Material' is on discogs as a 2000 release and Treach says "2000" on 'Don't Believe in Anybody'. 'Pop, Pop, Pop!' also features the same beginning to a verse that would appear on 'Red Light', also from IIcons. My guess is that these were songs created between Nineteen Naughty Nine and the aforementioned album. Nothing here touches their best work but if you are a fan you will enjoy the listen. 'Don't Believe in Anybody', with its catchy beat is probably the best along with the hardcore 'The Rah Rah'."

This had been on my to watch list since it was released. It received and maintains an incredible reception. I decided to watch it after feeling like an action movie and searching 'best action films of all time'. This was at the top of the list. That being so, I expected a lot and was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype. It didn't. The film is basically a two hour car chase with explosions and fighting. The plot is almost as thin as it gets. It also has a number of similarities to Waterworld that by chance I just watched a week or two before this. Max isn't even the main character here and there is no depth to his character. It should've been called 'Mad Imperator Furiosa'. It's also an ugly movie to look at with nothing but sand in the background for 90 percent of the film. Some of the choreography in the action scenes is impressive and there are aspects that are unique that earns this a decent rating, but I'm at a loss to why people love this so much.

The opener, with the 'Time After Time' interpolation, is an underwhelming start but it improves. Like he does on anything he's on, Mystikal steals the show on songs like 'Watch Me' with his amazing energy and delivery. It's a shame we've hardly heard a peep from him since he's been out of jail. I don't have a heap else to say about this album that I haven't about other No Limit projects. It's not a difficult listen by any means, and is quite consistently solid-good but not enough goes past that. Some of the hooks could be more memorable, and twins, Kane and Abel, don't have anything to make them stand out as rappers. 3.5-3 / 5 Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Tryin 2 Have Sumthin', Soldier Story, Stress, Watch Me, Bout That Combat, No Turnin Back, Gangstafied Forever, Let's Go Get Em

I went into this album without expecting anything and I have been pleasantly surprised. Black is a good storyteller and has a voice a tad reminiscent of Biggie. While pop rap exists here, most still maintains a 'street' sound that fits close enough with what the harder songs on the album sound like. Given it's a Bad Boy album from the year 2000, the production is stronger than expected and songs where the beat switches up like on the title track rarely ever used to happen in hip hop. What doesn't work? I don't love 'Thug Story' that B.R.'s version of Slick Rick's 'Children's Story'. It uses the exact same instrumentation so it's not as creative as it should be. The single, Espacio', has an unlikable, annoying hook which is a shame as the beat bangs. Other songs like the closer and 'You Don't Know Me', both with Joe Hooker providing the chorus, could use a better hook. And I guess all of the interludes that get in the way. Those aside, while there is no top 500 hip hop song here, it's a consistent body of work. Well worth checking out. Beats: ★★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Whoa!, Lookin' at Us, B.R., I Love You Baby
