So a lot of you are wondering is the iPhone really worth it. I would simply like to say, no! As you are holiday shopping don't believe the Apple hype...well, as far as phones go. I do still want a macbook pro, so I ain't gonna say too much about Apple, but if you've had a previously biased opinion leaning towards the iPhone, I feel that you should reconsider your options. The Android market has grown to be an equal rival to the iPhone Appstore.
The Evo has better features all around. 8mp camera. HD video camera. Front camera with video chat. And an HDMI docking station is now available, which I have posted above. But check it out for yourself. To say android is on the rise is an understatement. The video chat feature may not have caught on yet, but the Evo is definitely the phone to have. I will be copping a docking station ASAP. You can't beat the ability to capture HD video and watdch it on the big screen immediately.

Kanye...need I say more.

So Kanye has done it again. He's back. Not back like 808's and heartbreak back. I mean actually back. If you saw his film with Selita Ebanks, then you have probably been patiently awaiting the release of the album. Hell, if you don't live in a bloody cave you should have been anticipating the release. The album is good. The music itself is epic. Ye's sampling and production are unmatched of course. He has quite a few lines that will be repeated over the next year as he usually does. Either way, the question looming remains...will Kanye put out an album that will put the haters to rest? Will it make up for all the shit talking and VMA Mic stealing and what not? The answer, who gives a damn. This album goes hard. I will not speak too much about it. I'm not gonna be picky like pitchfork and talk about minor faults in comparison to past albums. I hate how different blogs do that - compare artists' current work to their past work. Of course you have to, to some extent. But every work of art is unique and should be evaluated accordingly. So who cares that Ye is still talkin about the Taylor Swift incident. STFU, sit down, and listen. It's a dope album. My only complaint is that every track was in the short film he released. I wish everything was a surprise when I heard the album. But oh well. Get out of here, and then go tell your friends that "Yeezy taught you well..."

Daft Punk - Tron Soundtrack

so if you didn't know...Daft Punk is doing the soundtrack for Tron. As an avid fan, I had to check it out before the movie came out. I am more than pleased. You should definitely check it out...I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. I eagerly anticipate that the movie will synchronize Daft Punk's innovative electronic style of music with orgasmic visuals on the big screen. If the movie is as good as the soundtrack, then Disney has done it again.

So ya...we've all got the Drake album whether we want to admit it or not. But why are some people ashamed to own it. It's because its a female influenced album. I aint mad at the dude though. He's made it, and seems that he will stop at nothing to make 'POPULAR' music. I just wished that Drake had held HIP-HOP a little closer to his heart. This is an R&B album...not a hip-hop album...which disappoints me. I know the ladies love to hear Drake's boring ass voice when he sings, but a lot of us don't. He shoulda came harder with the rhymes. The album is quite repetitive if you actually pay attention. He talks about the same ish, all damn day. "Ooh, I'm Drake...and my life changed so much since I got money." I'm just like..."nah son." But that's another story. As far as the music goes, it just seems like Drake could run circles around these other rap kids tryna make it, and take shots at some vets in the game, but I feel like he has settled and has become too comfortable with his current state and feels no need to impress us anymore. I keep the CD in my ride, and everyone who hasn't heard it always sees it and is like, "Ooh, you got that new Drake. Lemme hear that, I need to get that from you!" After hearing a couple songs, the reaction changes to more like, "nah son, you can hold on to that ish."
All in all, I'm a hip-hop fan. So this album is not for me. I loved So Far Gone, and all of Drake's previous work. I think he is truly talented, but I strongly believe that he's been hanging out with Wayne too much, and that his lifestyle will ultimately keep him from truly reaching his potential.
Oh yeah, final thought...J.Cole shits on Drake. Can't wait for his stuff to drop. J.Cole seems like he's still hungry, like he still has something to prove. Drake has lost that chip on his shoulder that he used to keep on his mixtapes. But only time will tell...
