The Neptunes f*ck around, with mixed results

Mon, 18 Mar 2002 19:27:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - It all started with one beat. When the Neptunes produced the beat for Noreaga’s “Superthug” I don’t think anyone could have predicted the Pandora’s Box it would open up. The Neptunes have been ruling the pop-rap world for the last few years now. Almost...

awesome beats, mediocre MCs

Tue, 5 Feb 2002 18:18:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - DJ Hi Tek is one of my favorite hip-hop producers. The two albums that he has done, Blackstar’s Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Blackstar and Talib Kweli’s Reflection Eternal (Train of Thought) are two of my favorites. Hi Tek consistently makes...

A Hip-Hop Classic

Sun, 27 Jan 2002 23:52:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising is the single hip-hop album that I think everyone, hip-hop fan, or not, should own. It embodies everything that I enjoy about hip-hop. I know it’s a trite choice, but there’s a reason so many people give this...

Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console: It's all about the games

Sun, 20 Jan 2002 23:02:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I’ve owned the Playstation 2 for almost a year. I bought it once the Dreamcast started to die. Now all you DC fan-boys better not get all angry about the last statement, I meant it in the kindest manner possible. The DC is still a great system,...

not the best thing to come out of the south

Sun, 23 Dec 2001 18:18:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I thought Ludacris’ first album Back For the First Time was garbage. It was full of mediocre songs and stupid skits. I had pretty much ruled Ludacris out as a bad emcee. When his newest album Word of Mouf, dropped I thought nothing of it...

contrary to what Jesus tells you, shooting people is a lot of fun

Tue, 20 Nov 2001 17:00:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - Epinions finally added the Dreamcast version of UT. I figured it'd be cool if I moved my review to te correct catagory.

I’m not a PC gamer, I never have been. The main reason is that when I get a computer I keep it for a few years so...

former thug tries to be 2pac

Sun, 11 Nov 2001 13:32:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - Ja Rule used to be a mediocre hard-core rapper. The bulk of the rhymes on Venni Vetti Vechi were about the things like drugs, h*es and murder. He was okay at rapping about this type of stuff, but he didn’t really stand-out. Ja Rule finally...

I can't believe I used to listen to this sh*t. (the history write-off)

Sat, 10 Nov 2001 23:08:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - No, this is not a review of a kid rock album. I just found it amusing. This is my history of rock, and rap. Rate me “not helpful” if you find this annoying. If someone wants advice on this Kid Rock album they can read one of the 21 other reviews on...

Denzel Washington is a bada*s

Wed, 24 Oct 2001 21:19:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I went to see Training Day this weekend with my mother. I like going to movies with my parents because you’re doing something with them but you don’t actually have to talk to them. Denzel Washington was the selling point I used to get my mother to go see...

high quality emo-core

Tue, 23 Oct 2001 21:41:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I first heard Thursday on a Victory Records sampler that my friend was given at the Warped Tour. Most of the bands on the sampler were that sort of tough-guy hardcore we've grown to expect from Victory, but then thrown in there was what seemed to be an...

Keanu Reeves best performance, EVER!

Wed, 10 Oct 2001 20:52:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey is one of those movies that isn’t really that good but I like it because it reminds me of my childhood. I have seen this movie a few times around the time it came out. Just recently I rented it, because I had forgotten about...

The Best Wu Tang Solo Album

Thu, 4 Oct 2001 20:07:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I’m a huge fan of the Wu Tang Clan. Behind A Tribe Called Quest, they’re my favorite rap group of all time. Most of the Wu Tang Clan members have released solo projects. The Gza is one of the best lyricists in the Wu Tang, if not the best. The first...

Tenacious D Rock My World

Sat, 29 Sep 2001 14:04:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I saw Tenacious D on MTV2 about a month ago. I don’t have MTV 2, but my friend does. They were pretty funny. The band consisted of Jack Black and Kyle Gas. I saw High Fidelity about 2 weeks ago. Jack Black was in it, and he was hilarious. Jack Black was...

we no longer need stuff like this (Gamer's Paradise write-off)

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 14:15:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I’ve been an avid video gamer ever since the NES days. I’ve always had monetary constraints and therefore must make informed gaming purchases. Lets face it, buying new games costs a lot. I like to make sure a game is going to be great before I buy it...

Slick Rick: Hip Hop's King of Storytelling

Sun, 9 Sep 2001 20:06:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - When Slick Rick was at the top of his game I was still watching Sesame Street and playing with action figures. Wait, I still play with action figures, bad example. Anyway, I was very young when Slick Rick was around. Slick Rick is one of those rappers...

The Madden Dynasty Continues Its Football Excellence

Thu, 6 Sep 2001 16:00:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I’m a big fan of sports games. If made correctly, they never become tiresome. They’re not linear like most other games. There’s no real way to “beat” them. You can play a good sports game almost forever. I played NHL 94’ for the SNES for about a year...

SSX for PlayStation 2: Another gear in the PS2 hype machine

Mon, 3 Sep 2001 00:23:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - As many of you know, I recently spent most of the money I earned this summer on the Playstation 2. So far, I’ve been pretty happy with it. I only had money to buy one game with the PS2 because of its giant price tag (I know $300 isn’t much for those of...

Iggy Pop: A True Wild Man

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 11:42:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - When Iggy Pop and the Stooges released Fun House I wasn’t even alive. I wasn’t even close to being alive. It would be another 15 years until I would be born. My first exposure to Iggy Pop was on the TV show Pete and Pete. Iggy Pop played the...

Best $10 I Ever Spent

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 13:51:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I just recently purchased a Playstation 2. I bought SSX, but didn’t have enough money to get a second PS2 game so I started poking around in the used Playstation games section at my local Software Ect. I game across the game Suikoden. I had remembered...

AP is like a Mos Def album, it's got slick production and is very deep

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 23:14:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - The two main American music magazines, Spin and Rolling Stone, have become extremely top 40 oriented and don’t really interest me anymore. About two year ago I read Spin, but I no longer do. I’m not dissing that type of music, it’s just not my thing...

the best Beastie Boys' album (5 Star Album Write-Off)

Wed, 1 Aug 2001 22:43:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - The Beastie Boys are one of my favorite rap groups. They have been every since I was a young lad. They’re music was some of the first hip-hop I ever listened to. Back when I was a young kid I liked them cause they were funny, but now I’ve found other...

KRS-One brings a little philosophy to the hip-hop game

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 21:51:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - When you ask people who the greatest rapper of all time is many of them will say KRS-One. I’ve heard people debate about whether or not he is more talented than Rakim. I can’t believe that two months ago I didn’t even know who KRS-One was. His free-style...

good idea, horrible execution

Mon, 23 Jul 2001 21:12:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - When I first heard about Loud Rocks I was completely jacked. The idea of a CD with rappers teaming up with rock bands to do re-makes of hip hop classics just seemed like such a great idea. When Loud Rocks came out I went out and got it. The...

pop in 13 songs and just chill out

Mon, 23 Jul 2001 15:11:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - Fugazi is lead by Ian Mckaye, of Minor Threat. But, they don’t really sound like Minor Threat at all. 13 Songs is the only Fugazi album I’ve ever heard, but it is very good. I can’t compare it to Fugazi’s other works because I haven’t heard their...

Snatch is even better to watch on DVD

Fri, 13 Jul 2001 14:26:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LessThanNick1 - I’ve been a fan of Guy Ritchie’s movies ever since I saw the movie Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. When Snatch went to theatres, I was psyched and went to see it. I loved it. Lock Stock is still one of my favorite movies. When Snatch came...
