Termanology - Politics As Usual


The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Termanology is the escence of hip-hop. The second thing that comes to mind is UNDERRATED!
These days, most of the shit I hear is all the same: Southern beat, talk about the dope game that you've probably never even been in, diss everybody, talk about hoes, money, cars and about being the "realest n***a" as if the craziest killa/dope dealer is gonna be found in a studio... And if you make a video, you gotta rent crazy cars and park them in the background and make sure half of the vixens in your video are rubbing up against it. You also gotta throw away a lot of money or people will think you're broke and once that happens no one will buy your album cause people just wanna listen to a rich guy attempting to rap rather than a real MC talking about real issues. But if you're like me and you like songs that are like stories and that talk about more than just having money, cars and hoes then you should get this album. Termanology's got beats on there produced by DJ Premiere, The Alchemist, Pete Rock and others. He's got a great flow and good lyrics.

Living With Michael Jackson

Living with Michael Jackson is a documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a span of 8 months, from May 2002 to January 2003. It was shown first in the UK on ITV (as a Tonight special) on 3 February 2003 and in the US three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters.
Martin Bashir put the proposal to Jackson as a way to show the world the truth about him and "make nothing off limits." Jackson's decision to make the documentary was made on a suggestion by his close friend Uri Geller. It later emerged that Geller had turned down another 'bid' for the interview by journalist Louis Theroux. The interview was very unusual, as it had been extremely rare for Jackson to allow such access to his personal life, or to talk so freely about his traumatic childhood. Nevertheless, he did show some reserve when asked to discuss other personal issues, such as the plastic surgery he had allegedly had.

Cam'ron - Crime Pays

A pretty good album in my opinion. A lot of d-boy talk and shit so if you're not into that, this may not be the album for you. Not too many artists featured but Cam' doesn't need anybody, he'll do it on his own and still make it dope.
"Crime Pays", "Cookin Up", "Curve", "You Know What's Up" are some sick tracks to name a few. My favourite is probably "Get It In Ohio". He made a mini movie for the video to that clip. Check it...

The video:

I would have to say this is a 8/10.
The Album:

Ace Hood - Ruthless

If you're a fan of southern type music you'll probably like this album. "Overtime" (feat. Akon & T-Pain) is the first single off this album, however, the first song on the album entitled "Get Money" (Feat. Rick Ross) is my personal favourite. "Champion" (Feat. Jazmine Sullivan & Rick Ross) is also a hype track. Artists featured throughout the album include Rick Ross, Shife, Ludacris, Akon, T-Pain, Jazmine Sullivan, Jeremih, Birdman, The Dream, Lloyd & Ballgreezy. Over all the album is pretty good. I'd say 7/10.
