  • Beck: The Mongolian Chop Squad, The Good Guy Wins!

    Beck: The Mongolian Chop Squad, The Good Guy Wins!

    I finally finished watching Beck: The Mongolian Chop Squad is a slice of life anime about a timid 16 year old teen falling in love with playing the guitar and rock music. He quickly becomes obsessed with playing guitar and from early on in the series you can see Yukio, 16 year old main character, is a gifted guitarist. Getting praised and bullied for his progression in such a short time. 

    Outside of playing guitar, Yukio is a young teen trying to figure out his adolescence. He lacks a bit of confidence and is a genuine guy in a world where his classmates seek out personal vendettas against him for his talents. Extorting money, breaking his instruments, punching him in the face. Yukio goes through a lot and we haven’t even touched his love life. The only thing keeping him going, it looks like, is a new found musician friends 

    Yukio’s story is a righteous story. We’re the bad guys finally get their just due, where good music is above all, where the good guy wins. It is a story about fighting and sacrificing because you love what you do and nothing comes above your dreams.

  • Chapelle on SNL

    I don’t know why comedians have become the truth sayer of our time. Or maybe they always have been. I mean, even kings in the medieval times had jesters, in arms reach. As far as I can remember Dave Chappelle has been speaking the truth about this country and the times were in, past and present.

    I first came across him during his now iconic run of The Chappelle Show on Comedy Central. Until then I had only seen movie comedians like Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey. Comedians just trying to make you laugh for the sake of entertainment. Guys like Ryan Reynolds, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in the Rush Hour movies. It wasn’t until  the Chappelle Show that I understood what comedy could be.

    Comedy is more than just a genre of hahas and giggles. It can be used as a vehicle to say something important in an intelligent way. What I would later understand about Chappelle, and other Comedians with a message or just something to say, was that if you understood the joke, you probably understood the message. In laughing you understand the sentiment or at minimum see the argument from the comedian’s perspective. And today with everyone choosing a side politically, comedy is one of the few things that brings the country together

    Comedians like George Carlin, Paul Mooney, Dick Gregory excelled in this. Today we all look towards Dave Chappelle to be the lighthouse as we’re lost at sea trying to find our way. Every time he speaks into a camera there’s always a topic of conversation that he wants to address. This weekend he went to SNL and had a few things to say about what’s happened in the last few months in these United States

    If you like Dave Chappelle, google George Carlin. He has a few things to say

  • New Music: Talk is Cheap – JMSN

    You’ve probably heard one of his songs, Soft Spot, that was making its round on the internet a few weeks ago. But he actually has some good music in his discography. I found this one on his top 5 on Spotify. Check it out!

  • Cam’ron and Elliot Wilson sat down and had a conversation

    Cam’ron came in hot, he had to get his get back. But after that, him and Elliot had a honest conversation moderated by Treasure Wilson.

    Cam’ron and Elliot actually had fruitful conversation, even if the origins of this entire debate started in a malicious place with Elliot’s comments on the New Rory and Mal Podcast a few weeks ago. Today, they had a digital face to face conversation and got right to the meat of the controversy.

    Elliot walked back some of his comments but more importantly he clarified his frustrations with the modern day media landscape. Acknowledging that he has to adapt and grow. Cam’ron expressed that he didn’t take often to being compared to Stephen A. Smith. Sounds like Cam’ron even took it as compliment. Cam’ron even went as far as to give Elliot some advice on what to do moving forward. It was some real man to man shit. Treasure Wilson did a great job and asked questions were on both side of the argument, Asking Cam: ‘If big artist need to sit with Journalist?’ and ‘Where does he think that journalist is going?’ So that everyone got put in the hot seat and asked the difficult questions.

    A hot start but a great finish! A real man to man moment for that got shared with us.

  • Bad Bunny: The Rabbit Hole Behind the Pebble

    DeBi TiRAR Mas FOTos has captured me in way that, I wasn’t expecting. Everyday I peel another layer and find a deeper meaning to the album. Hearing those horn on BAILE INoLVIDABLE… it’s a time machine that takes me to the beach in my mother hometown of Miche.

    So I’ve been searching for more, the meaning behind the songs. I often find myself loving certain songs and not really understanding my attraction to it and in a weird way, with just a little effort, I find a deep rabbit hole behind a small pebble. Here’s what I’ve found so far:

    Here are some screen captures from Bad Bunny’s Interview with Zane Lowe

    This short film depicts an elder Puerto Rican who lives in modern day Puerto Rico, hinting subtly at what’s changed in Puerto Rico from when he was a young man. This couldn’t have come a better time given what happening in Puerto Rico.

    Another familiar face joins Jimmy Fallon for the Tonight Show. Bad Bunny has stopped by the Tonight Show a few times before making this his 4th time. He and Jimmy Fallon seemingly have a great friendship. So much so that they even did a surprise pop-up show on the metro in NYC.
