Top 20 Rap Critic Videos

While I’ve been trying to broaden my musical horizons over the last few years, getting into more metal and electronic music as best my eardrums can manage, I freely admit that the majority of the music I listen to nowadays is hip-hop. Now, I would normally attribute this to parental influence, with my mother playing a lot of NWA and Public Enemy when I was growing up and my dad showing me the angry white kid faves of Eminem and the Beastie Boys. However, as potentially weird and unsettling as this tidbit may come across as, I can easily put the blame(?) of that squarely on a single person. That person is who we’re looking into the work of today. So, as tribute to the guy who has forever altered my musical tastes, here are the Top 20 Rap Critic Videos.

Fast & Furious 7 (2015) - Movie Review

I have to admit, as much as my last review may have given the impression that I’ve always loved this series and I’ve been there from the beginning, this is not so. After seeing Fast & Furious in cinemas, and not really being that into it, I didn’t give the series any more mind aside from the triple pack DVD of the first three films at home. However, two big things came through the grape vine about this film in the lead-up to its release that not only got me interested again but made me a bit compelled to revisit the series as I did. The first was the announcement that Jason friggin’ Statham was going to be playing the bad guy, and if you need me to clarify on why this is an awesome casting decision then you’ve probably never seen a good action film in your life. The second was that Justin Lin, who has been in the director’s chair with this franchise since Tokyo Drift, was stepping down and the direction was going to be handled by James Wan, an Australian director better known for horror films like Dead Silence, The Conjuring and most (in)famously Saw and a man who has become one of the new figureheads of the genre in my opinion. How does this all equal up?
