I copped the CD of that new LL Cool J album and he's only gone and printed all the song credits and shout outs in tiny red text on a black background which I can't even read properly with my magnifying glass. Rappers, if you learn anything from this blog then let it be the layout - white text on a dark background is unfadeable, baby.
Another problem with the new LL CD is that there's no tracklist on the back sleeve. An unforgivable rookie mistake from a rapper who dropped his first CD in 1985. Musicians should always have the tracklist on the back of their CDs and should always have the tracks numbered. If I crash my car searching for songs on the CD then I'm sending LL the bill for damages.
My m8 went to see Alchemist DJ on Saturday night and offered me his spare ticket. I declined because a modern day Chemical Alan DJ set would be fulla dreary-arse recent songs by Griselda, Action Bronson, Armand Hammer and Earl Sweatshirt & his boring m8s. If I go watch Alchemist spin choonz then I wanna hear his obvious old anthems plus his banger ne plus ultras like Agallah's Crookie Monster, Casual's I Gotta (Get Down), Saigon's Stocking Cap, Big Noyd's Shoot 'Em Up, Bang, Bang, Prodigy's Raining Guns & Shanks and Boldy James' Moochie.
Fave Rap videos of 2024: Move by Mello Buckzz; Fun by Ezale; Devils Contract by Coyote; Yeah Glo! by GloRilla; A Gentle Gigg by Seiji Oda; and Yankin' by LARussell & P-Lo ft. D-Lo & Malachi. It's nice to see rappers making an effort and coming up with visuals which enhance the songs and which make the songs best experienced in video-form.
Is Milo from The Mask the greatest dog companion in movie history? Loyal, smart, inventive, crafty, funny and cute (no Bodil Joensen), Milo was the perfect lil' homie. And, unlike Jim Carrey's other great dog companion in a movie Max from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Milo was played by a single dog and not six different near-identical dogs.

It's the dog from Mad Max 2 for me.
Never managed to steal cheese and keys like Milo.
Shoulda been warned. The artsy cover already sucked!!
True. He shoulda hired someone from TATS cru to do some proper graffiti.
The LL album is all I'm listening to.
Speaking of elder statesmen rap JT Moneys new album is surprisingly pretty good.
Ben, that's some info that's relevant to my interests. Cheers 🍻
L.A, the posse track at the end is my new fave on there.
"The FORCE" is the first LL Cool J CD I've bought new in....31 and a ½ years . All but completely tuned him out after "Mr Smith" (which I got 2nd hand). just to put a bow on this retro experience, I bought it from one of the few surviving branches of HMV. Sadly, they didn't have any copies on wax cylinder or minidisc. Questionable features and beats aside, he's still got it .
I copped it from my local HMV too. Their Rap CD section seems to have shrunk every time I check it.
