video review : Vacancy 2 [ The First Cut ]

The trembly camera is a tad annoying and the plotting is somewhat hackneyed, but this Vacancy sequel, which serves as a prequel, is a decent follow-up. It’s not as thrilling as the original; part Twos rarely are; but there’s enough suspense to keep you checked in. The protagonist this time around is a “hillbilly” named Jessica staying at the Meadow View Inn with her fiancé and his friend.

audio review : Temple Of Hip Hop [ Global Awareness ] ( album ) ... KRS-One

This is released as a KRS-One album, but it’s more like a mixtape to promote his new European Tour. The concept is established from the very start; “Welcome to the Temple Of Hip Hop 2025 Global Awareness Tour,” he says, which limits the set to not only a specific purpose but a specific date range.

The songs are what fans have come to expect; raw raps over boom-bap beats; but he should’ve saved the best ones for a proper release. The Tribute interludes, on which his industry peers praise him in the past tense as if he’s retired or dead, are reminiscent of the ones from the 1995 KRS-One album.

Reese’s Peanut Butter

Reese's Peanut Butter

This isn’t just Reese’s Peanut Butter. It’s an ice cream version from Breyers. It tastes sweet and yummy, of course, but it’s not quite as good as you might anticipate. It’s “light”, meaning it has less fat than normal ice cream, and you can tell. The “chunks of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups” are also too small or maybe there just aren’t enough of them.
