The Cool

the cool

I’ve given this album a couple of spins since I downloaded it this morning, and I’m definitely feelin’ it. Very few albums grab my ear on the first spin but Lupe has yet to disappoint me. Food and Liquor is currently spinning in my car and has been for a week or so now. I wasn’t sure he would top that album but the more I replay The Cool, the more I like it.

The lyrics are on point and Lupe definitely upped his craft on this one. This album is worth the download but you should definitely go out and support this amazing artist. 

Out with the old

My old ipod lasted me through college and kept me company during many sleepless nights so I wont complain too much about it, but I got tired of fixing it so it was time for an upgrade. The clickwheel was my main issue with my old ipod so the new ipod classic didn’t realy spark my interest inspite of the its massive amount of hard drive space.

When the ipod touch came out I was all ready to take the plunge seeing as it had all the amenities of an iphone without the pain of an at&t contract, or so I thought. Out of the box the ipod comes with wifi, safari, and a youtube application for web based activities. However, it doesn’t have google maps or a mail application like the iphone does. This realization made me second guess buying the touch, until I heard about jailbreak.

Jailbreak is a bit of code which allows third party and several iphone applications to be added to the touch interface. After finding out about jailbreak I went ahead with my purchase of the touch and I’m definitely glad I did. It’s a wonderful device and I definitely recommend it over the new ipod classic unless you’re one of those folks who like tactile feedback. You do have to look at the touch in order to change songs and navigate the menus, whereas with a classic you can just memorize the feel and placing of the click wheel buttons. It’s a small nuance but a nuance nonetheless. I guess it depends on your preference. Also if you’re more into music than gadgets i would just go with the classic; it has an 80 gig hard drive, massive as I said earlier, is an understatement.

Well that’s all for now merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Graduation

Graduation

Kanye West dropped Graduation today, an album I was really looking forward to. After spinning the leaked version in my cd player for a week or so now i’ve gotten use to the new sound. While Kanye’s head comes off as big as ever in this album, I’d much rather drop $9.99 on Graduation than Curtis. I mean COME ON lets just be real for a second here.
