2 More Things Reviewed

The following were left off my previous post because apparently "Cut & Paste" is harder to master for me than most people. See below for scoring system.

Joel Ortiz Covers The Classics (mixtape)

4

This mixtape compiles 33 Joel Ortiz freestyles over classic (mostly late 80's and early 90's) beats that were recorded over the last two or three years. Joel murders these tracks with one blistering verse each and every "song" stops short to segue way into the next, making each song short, with an abrupt ending...much like life.

Joel Ortiz is the best unsigned rapper in 2009 and Aftermath made a bigger mistake by dropping him than they did with Joe Beast. Look out for Slaughterhouse! (note: the SH album has been pushed back to 8/11...the summer just cooled off).

The Hangover

5+

This movie is the most fun you can have in a theatre without Alanis Morissette. I laughed out loud the whole time and broke into tears on three separate occasions. Every scene is funny, every joke works and "Andy Bernard," "That funny looking comedian" and "The hot one (No homo)" should all be huge stars by the end of summer. If you do not see this movie in the theatre and buy it on Blu Ray the day it comes out you are not smart...period.
