Mac Mall - Mac To The Future (MUSIC REVIEW)

Mac Mall - Mac To The Future




Mac Mall dropped one of the best rap albums ever in my opinion with "Untouchable". It had great production from Khayree and Mac Mall had great lyrics and that perfect flow.

Sometimes its hard to make another album as good as your first or best one, Mac Mall has had some good releases since then but Mac To The Future is not one of them.
Even the underrated, enjoyable DA US OPEN with Mac Dre was extremely good and
looked like Mac Mall was going back to his great raps, I guess that was just him teasing us.

Its sad to see that so much talent is making an album this bad. The production is some of the worst of this year, with only two good beats on the whole cd.

Mac Malls flow is still just as good as ever, but his lyrics have taken a nosedive for the worse on this album. Instead of some of the best inner city stories and tales that rap has heard, we get a watered down Mac Mall, talking about bullshit for the most part.

There are a few songs that I enjoyed, such Sawyer Street and Fire Remix, but 2 decent songs out of 13 is not acceptable, especially from someone as good as Mac Mall.

Nuthin Bout Thizz is garbage, Cutthroat Life is extremely hard to even finish listening to, Hubble High is annoying as hell, Pimpasistic is terrible, For Real makes your ears hurt and Tell Dem is one of the worst songs of the year. Alley Oop and I Dont Get Mad are decent, but still
nothing to write home about.

Such a dissapointing cd after his good work on DA US OPEN and all of his previous albums. I really hope Mac Mall starts to put out quality music again, because hes got so much talent and such a great flow that its sad to see him on this Mac To The Future bullshit.

Stay Away from this album at all costs, if you do get it, then do like i did with Nas - Nastrodamus and toss it in the fish tank at ya girls house.

Mac Mall and Thizz entertainment have both put out MUCH better music then this. The production is horrible, while Mac Malls lyrics are not terrible, they are not nearly as good as he is capable of.

SCORE = 4/10

"Dragon Age" - VIDEOGAME REVIEW

DRAGON AGE Review

These days it seems like RPGs are not as good as they should be. Either the story is cliche or characters are annoying. Dragon Age: Origins is the latest RPG from Bioware, who have made some of the best roleplaying games of all time, such as KOTOR, Mass Effect, Jade Empire and Baldur's Gate. It's a fantasy RPG that is basically a more mature/adult version of Lord Of The Rings.

It might have the best story I've seen in a video game! Usually it is in a good novel or foreign film where you find a story this amazing, not a video game. One word describes this game - EPIC. As the game unfolds you cannot help but say the words "epic" and "amazing" to yourself over and over again. You also get alot of choices in this game (ie: whether to kill someone or help them out), doing good or bad things not only effects your character in the game, but the world and story as well.

Bioware really has crafted an amazing game with so much depth that it's scary. You can just run through the main questline if you want, or you can do tons of side quests in each city, which really adds to the game. As you level up, you get to pick new moves and such for your characters. You not only control your main character but you control three others too. When you go into combat you can pause the game and set-up your moves, or you can just jump in and fight in real time. The combat is not just hack and slash fighting, it's a combination of realtime and turn based action.

This is Bioware's best game since Baldur's Gate and KOTOR, and in my opinion the best RPG in the last five years or so. It's very rare that a game like this pulls me like this, I literally felt like a young kid while playing. It is very well crafted and has a high fun factor. If you want a big adventure this winter that can last you anywhere from 30 to 70 hours, then please do yourself a favour and pick this up.

Not only the game of the year so far in 2009, but the best RPG this generation for videogames, simply an amazing game that everyone should try out.
