Another late night with teething lil one so I'm up pacing around trying to settle the lil and I've decided to jam on a movie on Netflix. I've noticed that straight outta Compton has come out not sure when but I'm pretty pumped. I watching it at the cinema's and really enjoyed this rendition. I didn't think I would have liked it as precious movies based on careers of rappers failed to hit the mark. I really felt Stra…More
Today rap is the new rock. Very sadly we have to admit that what rock was able to convey between the '60s and the early '90s today is no longer able to convey it. Rock has run aground. Rock is dead. The cause or consequence of this anomaly was the birth of rap. In Italy 9 out of 10 artists in the top 10 2018 are rap artists. In the world we are more or less on the same level. Whether we like it or not today the prot…More

Nel mondo siamo più o meno agli stessi livelli. Che piaccia o meno ogg…More

Music and musician biographies are my thing. Truth is far more interesting than fiction. Straight Outta Compton is done right. Couldn't be better. I have followed a different musical path, but this is one of the most convincing and heart felt renditions of a biographical nature that I have ever seen. I saw it when it cam out and saw it again tonight. A masterpiece. It should be taught in schools. If you haven't seen…More
