I don't think this is as much of an experiment for KRIT as many reviews would have you believe. Looking at them before listening to this, I was expecting something very different, like MGK going punk or something. I don't hear the 'questionable creative risks' that PF mention in their review. He is singing a little more, but he has made/rapped over vibey/soulful/funky production before. I think most of this works well. I enjoyed it as soon as I pressed play.
Best Tracks: Just 4 You, Would It Matter, Show U Right, It's Over Now, All the Time
While many say the first BTTF movie is better, I have always preferred this one. The first is great, but isn't as rewatchable-it has slower moments. This never stops moving. Within the first few minutes, the viewer is transported to the future, and just like Marty, your eyes cannot get enough of the surroundings, even after a number of views. Then we go back to the present day and back to the time of the first film. People prefer the writing in the first one, but I don't think this does anything wrong. Part III is underrated too.
Warren G is one of the legends of the west coast and one the few from the mid-nineties still releasing albums reasonably consistently (at least that are getting some mainstream attention). This album though, like his last, is fairly forgettable. Much of the production goes for that G-Funk sounding theme that Warren is known for but there is nothing original or great throughout the whole disc. The better tracks listed below (particularly the first two) are bound with a harder beat than the others and just work better for me and are my picks from the album. There has been some good hip hop released the last couple of months and this, unfortunately, isn't amongst them.
Best Tracks: The West Is Back, 100 Miles and Runnin', Suicide
A very solid release from Gibbs. I absolutely love 'Fuck Rap Pt. 2'. I've been listening to it constantly for ages. It's still one of his better songs.
Best Tracks: Crushin' Feelin's, Fuck Rap Pt. 2, Thug Psalms
[Spoilers] Man, I really didn't like the ending here. David Fincher has mentioned his distaste for the final third of this, and I understand why. For much of the movie, it's suspenseful, keeps you guessing and asking questions, but then it ends with disappointment. Too much occurs as well where C.P.R. knew what Nicholas was going to do and where he was going to go. I understand they did extensive personality and psychological testing, but nothing is that accurate. He should have jumped to his death at the end after 'the game' pushed him too far. That would've been a better ending than a perfectly placed air cushion that he lands on and then ending up with the woman who put him through this... A 4/5 with a better conclusion.
