audio review : Down 4 My Niggas ( song ) … C-Murder ( featuring Magic + Snoop Dogg )
If C-Murder insisted on “4” for “For”, he should’ve put four Niggas on the song. Not that he’s the type that cares about petty semantics. He might shoot me for even suggesting it. “If you fuck with me,” he warns, “it’s a must you die.”
What makes the song go hard is that along with decent verses; Snoop’s monotone flow drags the energy down a bit; and a solid beat, it has a catchy hook, albeit one that almost makes the mistake of parroting the horn riff.

video review : Of Mice And Men
George is more of a friend than me. I would’ve abandoned Lennie a long time ago. Not only is he annoying, though his kidlike personality does come with an underlining of pitiful innocence, it seems he always manages to get in trouble.
The story begins with the two workmen running from “a bunch of guys with dogs” and guns after Lennie inadvertently assaults a girl in a red dress. What he did is told but not shown, unlike what he does later to the wife of a rancher’s son.
That scene is a major plot twist and one of its two most poignant moments. The other comes at the end. The movie goes on about two minutes too long from there; the final flashback is excessive; but it’s an interesting tale nonetheless.

audio review : Not For Radio ( song ) … Nas ( featuring Diddy )
“Edgar Hoover was black; Willie Lynch is a myth,” Nas affirms, “Colombians created crack; the government made stacks.” It’s that first part about Hoover that represents the rapper’s state of mind. He, like too many Americans, is obsessively focused on race and racism, but only the white on black type, which itself seems racist in its exclusions.
To be fair, Sean Combs (Diddy) does suggest equality by commanding all listeners to put their fists in the air, whether they’re “white, black, Latino, Asian, Caucasian…” Hold on; isn’t Caucasian and white the same? In being inclusive though, he contradicts not only himself but the concept of the song, which is supposed to be about “they” and “us”.
The best parts are the hook, though what sounds like a silly falsetto effect added to it takes away from the song’s solemn message, and the beat, which is led by an epic sample from The Hunt For Red October. The worst part of the song, other than Diddy mentioning the year; “We ain’t posing for no pictures in 2018”; is the title, which seems irrelevant.
