New Heiruspecs Album (hip-hop)…
I know a LOT of peeps are easily awed by the ‘live’ hip-hop groups and think that because there are live instruments, it’s automatically something to dig. Although I am a fan of being able to play instruments…especially being able to play them well, I don’t consider it a ‘you’re dope’ free card.
This new release by Heiruspecs (10 Years Strong) is nothing I’m gonna be bumpin on the regular. It suffers from the same thing that most “live” hip-hop bands suffer from: Bland beats that all sound the same. I’m not totally hating on this album, but I did find it rather blah. And like I said, too many live acts are exactly the same. If you like The Roots, this ain’t them. Go out and give a listen to judge for yourself though (as is always my recomendation about anything).

Another movie to add to the list that I enjoyed. Gone Baby Gone is very well made and asks its’ audience some tough questions about what is really ‘right’ or ‘wrong.’ An added bonus: Morgan Freeman (good in everything) and Ed Harris (another actor I am a fan of). Basically, this is about a private detective and his girlfriend/partner that are hired to help track down a missing child in Boston. The movie definitely throws you for a few loops and just when you think it’s over, it’s not. A nice directorial debut for Ben Affleck.
So, do yourself a favor…go out and get yourself a copy of this. I’d say it’s worth having the DVD of, which is scheduled to be released Feb. 12, 2008. For more info, trailer, etc. CLICK HERE.
