audio review : First Time In A Long Time ( song ) … Kanye West ( featuring Soulja Boy )

The only thing I dislike about this song is the way Kanye West leaves the word Time out of the title phrase every other time he says it. I understand he does it for melodic purposes and it’s a catchy hook in that regard, but it doesn’t make grammatical sense. Perhaps he should’ve said something about the “song” instead of repeating it.

It’s a flagrant flaw but not significant enough to ruin what sounds like a damn good song demo. The music is charming; I can’t tell what the girl or kid is saying on the loop; and the Soulja Boy verse is a welcomed addition. It’s his vocal flow/delivery that makes it work and I like the way it ends, despite him rhyming Long Time with Long Time.

video review : Robin Harris on One Night Stand

video review : Robin Harris on One Night Stand

Don’t be disillusioned by the corny prelude. Robin Harris is a funny man. He’s often downright hilarious, especially when he’s making fun of people. “What you laughing at,” he says to a balding man in the audience before directing a stage technician to beam in on him, “Put the light on the brother with the hole in his natural.”

It’s not just the jokes that are funny. It’s also Robin’s vocal inflections, body language and overall delivery. He’s like the uncle who talks (shit) about everybody at the family get-together. It’s all in fun though. He spends a little too much time on the ending bit about Bébé’s kids, but the show is a thoroughly entertaining affair.

Wendy’s 4 For $4 Meal : Junior Bacon Cheeseburger

Wendy's 4 For $4 Meal : Junior Bacon Cheeseburger

This is the best of Wendy’s 4 For $4 Meals when it comes to both value and taste. It’s the “Applewood smoked” Bacon Cheeseburger that sells it; it can be argued that being a Junior gives it the psychological impression of tasting better simply because you have less of it; but there are ways to improve it even more.

As a mayonnaise man, what I like to do is ask for two or three extra packets; they’re free; and add it to the burger. It’ll start to run off the sides when you replace the top bun, but that’s okay because it serves as a fry dip. My favorite customization though is to select for the drink not an actual beverage but a Vanilla Frosty.
