Current mood: mellow

Alright, I know I haven't been up on my blog game much, but I'm gonna step it up starting tonight with an news update on the latest music for this week.

Wyclef Jean - The Carnival II: Memoirs of an Immigrant leaking:
Yup, the new album that's supposed to be out next Tuesday from the former Fugees member came a bit early and it doesn't disappoint. Unlike the new Wu album (talking about that later), it doesn't sound like he went for the mainstream or fell off. It is a well-constructed and thought out album & has some unexpected guest spots coming from the likes of SOAD lead singer Serj Tankian, among others. Don't miss out on this one. 4.5/5

Wu Tang Clan - 8 Diagrams leaking:
Another upcoming & long-awaited album leaked as well. The new Wu Tang album is (unfortunately) really only meant for longtime die-hard Wu fans...because the lyrical content is mainly "heard that before" material and didn't cut it for me. They're planning another album next year without The RZA...but I'm not sure if that's gonna be enough because Ghostface is the only member that really gets to me anymore. 2.25/5

DJ Drama - Gangsta Grillz: The Album leaking:
Before you guys say anything, this is not a DJ Khaled-knockoff compilation album. It doesn't have the same 7 people rapping over different beats or as much psychotic screaming over the tracks. This is a more complete-feeling, more varied and less annoying version of "We The Best". I applaud Drama for not going the way of Khaled for the album format. 4/5

Dead Presidents 3 (Full version) leaking:
I was fooled for this shit...it's only full cause of 25 more seconds of filler at the end...what a crock of shit. Big Mike's frontin on us...where's the real full version?!?!? 2/5

The new Birdman video:
This shit made me laugh my fucking ass off...I know it was meant to be a dead serious video...but with DJ Khaled yelling his usual adlib shit in the back of a Maybach in the middle of the jungle, 100 million dollars of money coming out of an exploding truck...unburnt, among other dumbass moments, the 2 million dollar budget set on this Bad Boys 3 trailer-wannabe video was wasted on...a very flawed and unintentionally funny video. Song's nice though. 2.25/5

Man, as much as I wanna keep blogging about this, I can't think of anything else to put in here...until next time I guess lol.
