So......I just stumbled upon The Umbrella Academy. It's really damn funny and good!

Just watched that. Really liked the first couple episodes. Thought the rest of season 1 was between okay and good. Didn’t care much for season two.

I just finished the 2nd season

Don't spoil it, Mom just got deactivated. Poor Mom!

Blazers-Nets. Why does Dame have to be so damn good? Go Suns/Nets

Just starting season 2. And figuring out whether I’m interested in Jericho.

Mary J. Blige is a really good actor! I didn't even realize it was her because I've never seen her act, but she's great!

I'll be brutally honest and say that my recent experiences in the commentary thread have thrown me for a loop, so much so that I felt the need to articulate some of my thoughts. Here they are. I think it behooves us to examine what cancellation is. I know my approval rating has taken a sizable hit in the last couple of days here, and I really am sorry about that, BUT I also prioritize personal freedom and always have, so, the link will take you to my own calculations therein.

Feels like something we should hash out, but, you know, we don't always hash things out. Sometimes we run/hide/block. That's fair. Harm reduction is good.

Bds, lots of us like to mess with each other and critique picks here. I don’t think anyone bears you any ill will. Sorry if it felt like that.

but Edgar Wright though, the Cornetto trilogy is amazing (especially the first two, Shaun is part of our annual Halloween twofer (along with Young Frankenstein) Hot Fuzz is a remote drop - I'm still coming around on World's End) and it's a good thing I didn't see Baby Driver in the theatre because the minute that Hocus Pocus by Focus sequence started I would have been standing and screaming "YEAH!!!!" at the screen and it would have freaked people out (you don't come across many songs that have yodeling, whistle breakdowns, Mel Blanc impressions, rocking guitar riffs, massive drum fills and rock flute solos all in one package)

Wright was originally supposed to direct Ant Man which would have been pretty cool but probably not fitting with Kevin Feige's overall MCU vision - after reading the Ernest Cline book Ready Player One I just knew Edgar Wright was the right guy for the job but they picked that Spielberg guy instead and the movie turned out bloated and just kind of meh

Q: Did Raekwon and Cee Lo Green record a song about Marvin Williams? https://youtu.be/BYI91sneTZM

A: Not really, it’s about Marvin Gaye. False advertising, sorry.

Of those three, Nas because he’s one of the GOATs.
However, if we’re going off of pure savagery, I’d suggest Big L, Busta Rhymes, KRS-One, Ja Rule (check out Loose Change if you don’t believe me), NWA/Ice Cube or even Eminem. Q-Tip/ATCQ isn’t really isn’t so savage but I won’t knock it

Voted Drake for no reason aside from you being Canadian

Outkast. So many great songs, and more stylistic changes on a single album than most MCs/bands have in their catalog. Plus, if you're using Outkast you should be able to use the Dungeon Family album.

Aquemini you and I

I thought about Em but his best albums name wise are his worst ones quality wise lol. Nobody wants to root for The Marshall Mathers LP.

I love Big L but he doesn't have a big enough discography. Grew up on Busta and Cube, two of my older brothers' faves, will definitely put them in consideration.
