If you are/were a big fan of Slaughterhouse, you will enjoy the topics on offer here, as you would also find interesting the controversy surrounding this album from its other group members. Joell and Crooked reflect on and give us the inside story on the background of the group and what went wrong. As you'd expect, it's rapped well, but the production and songs aren't good enough for repeated listens or to rate this any higher. 'Fukglasshouse' was the first song to catch my attention with its harder production, and the album does get a bit stronger from there. Best Tracks: Fukglasshouse, Brothers Keeper 2, Smoke, Coastin'

This is right between a 3-3.5 for me. It's a really easy listen with some well known songs being used as samples like Slick Rick's 'Hey New World' on 'Love, Peace & Nappiness', and I-Level's 'Give Me' on 'So Love', but there isn't anything amazing from a time period with lots of great boom bap. It doesn't sound brilliantly mixed either. It's worth noting that Canibus kills 'Beasts from the East'. Best Tracks: Me and My Crazy World, Beasts from the East, Love Peace & Nappiness, What's Wrong, Games, From My Family to Yours (Dedication)

I heard 'Gimme Room' on a YouTube stream playing underground hip hop and thought that I needed to check the album out ASAP. Nothing beats the aforementioned song, but there are a number of other high moments with Rhyme being an engaging spitter. Listening to this I was unsure where he was from. There is boom bap, but also some g-funk, and he seems to shout out both areas. I can't find any info on Rhyme himself but the album seems to have been recorded in Chicago. Worth checking out. Best Tracks: Devil's Advocate, Gimme Room, West Side Till I Die, Necessary Evil, Black Eyes in the Game

I just had my my second attempt to get through this having tried months ago and only lasting about an hour with failed plans to go back to it. I haven't seen Justice League since it came out, so I don't remember it well enough to say exactly what extra scenes this has/has omitted, but damn, it's way too long. I mean, you don't see Superman until 2hrs 40min into it. However, given its extra running time, it does allow it to include more scenes from everyone, particularly The Flash and Cyborg, so it doesn't feel as rushed as the original cut. Batman feels out of place and useless in this unrealistic world with these amazingly powerful friends and foes. He still does some important acts to assist his League, but he doesn't feel required apart from the act of helping them get together in the first place. The main issue with this is that the fighting scenes aren't very interesting, the villains are boring, and the CGI/green screen is overdone and seems incredibly cheap. The movie just isn't very good to look at because of this. Why does it look so ugly? This version does nothing to rectify those issues. For such a long film, the Justice League members never get very close or build much of a relationship apart from the odd quips. Aquaman feels like he was tacked on in a rewrite.

Wayne shares some thoughts around major incidents in his career, but as a United fan, there isn't much new information I got out of this. As it's only an hour long, it moves along a little too quickly as well.
