audio review : Turning My Money Over ( album ) … E-40

audio review : Turning My Money Over ( album ) ... E-40

A quadruple album? Why not? E-40 already had more songs than almost every rapper. Here’s another 40 for what it’s worth, which, for My Money, isn’t much. His best songs are from his first few albums when he rapped with an array of flows/inflections. The substance is still here; nobody spits game like E-40; but his style; a major part of his allure; has dampered with age. These lazy beats and hooks also do him no favors.

audio review : Dragon’s Breath ( album ) … Inspectah Deck + PA Dre

audio review : Dragon's Breath ( album ) ... Inspectah Deck + PA Dre

The title implies spitting fire and, though he’s not on my top five list, Inspectah Deck’s been “that dude” ever since he held down The City on Wu-Tang Forever. You’ve probably never heard of PA Dre and the producer shouldn’t share album credit; one of hip-hop’s most annoying trends; but his beats are the best thing here. The best songs include Never Fold and Lighter Fluid, though all the collabs are a bit much.

Mainstays Nonstick Pizza Pan

Mainstays Nonstick Pizza Pan

This Pan from Mainstays; a Walmart brand; works just fine for it’s purposed use. You can cook or warm Pizza in the oven all day with it. It’s when you start using it for crustless foods, like baked salmon, that the situation gets a little sticky.
