Weaving Rhymes
Alllll righty then..sorry RW I know this is a bit overdue,haha, but allow me to introduce you to a homie of mine,who goes by the name of The Rhymeweaver, I won't go into details about his info,you can get more of that from his page. I knew him in an online hip hop forum awhile back,and he shared some of his experiences and knowledge in recording and rhymes and songs-making and how to get fly bitches and drop fools.Joking on the last two.Anyway,he had an album called Hymns of Wrath & Passion (you can read about fellow emcee emcee david's review of his album here), and will be getting his mixtape out sometime soon.
There are several tracks that are released as a sneak preview to the public on his website, consisting of two audios and a video. One of the songs is Get Filled, a party track featuring his partner-in-crime The I.R.V. of his group Flow Finesse. At first I thought it weird for RW to release a club banger, since his other songs dealt with issues you would be hard-pressed to bump your head in a club to, but then versatility is something not many emcees can boast about,so I guess its all good.By the way,Get Filled reminds me of another wicked track,Return of the Tres by Delinquent Habits, which is also a fucking dope song (I really need to brush up on my adjectives,fuck it),man the Latinos really know how to throw gangsta parties.Anyway,throughout the song there are some clever metaphors and punchlines (to the average song listeners,YES,rap are about things like these,among other shiznit such as multi-syllabic rhymes,internal rhymes,flows,creative story telling,witty humor,serious issues,social causes,voicing for the oppressed,to delivery to breath control to pronunciation.But that's another story for another day.),the first line will make you prick up your ears ("Yo I pound mics like sterling",get it?pound?sterling?no?),however IMHO I think the I.R.V.'s pronunciation could be improved since I can't really listen to what he is saying,but besides that its not bad.Go to his page and check it out.
Another song is Forbidden Verses, which is about a traditional Malay black magic practice known as santau (What,no toyol?the little green man,not Khir Toyo), you can get more info on this forbidden art on his page.The first time I played this song,it was four in the morning.I was alone in my room, and the whole house was asleep,lights all turned off.I finished listening to the first verse,and feeling a wee teeny little bit sikit sikit eerie,decided to turn it off and go straight to bed.Thanks RW for the fright night.This is the reason why Asian ghost movies are so much more scarier,they are sooooo much closer to home.So if you are sitting in front of a window like I am,take a look outside.Anything there?No?You really sure that's a twig?Not fingers?OK I'm scaring myself so I'll just end here.

Baby mine, don't you cry
I got misty-eyed when I watched this scene so many years ago,and now,watching it again still made me shed tears.Please tell me I'm not the only one.Pixar's John Lasseter called it "one of the most emotional scenes that Disney ever made".
Baby Mine
Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine

Worse Movie Scenes Ever
found this on youtube,and I burst out laughing 10 seconds into the clip.And didn't stop for the rest of the video.It was THAT bad."How bout I take you home....." go see for yourself.
Lelaki Besi
I kid you not,chinese subtitle translated the movie's name to "The Man Who is Tough Like Iron".But that's not the point.The point is,this movie is cool.Like uber-cool.What's cooler than being cool?Iron muthafriggin' Man,that's what!One of the most fun superhero movies that I had watched.I will not bore you with the synopsis,most of you know it anyway,heck most of you may have even seen it anyway but who gives a crap cos I just wanna drooooooollllwsrfdsakf akf kafdsa fas minirfireanfianznv jnnfsadfnasd$^%$%#*&$^&*$E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Allright.Now that I had finally got that feeling of orgasmic euphoria off my chest,lets see what makes this movie so great.First,the casting.Robert Downey Jr. is perfect for the role of Tony Stark,and he does kinda resemble his comic-book counterpart,and he plays his part of a flamboyant-playboy-genius-gazillionaire-guy-with-glowing-lamp-in-chest well.I can't imagine anyone else pulling this off so effortlessly and naturally (look out for him in blackface in the upcoming Tropic Thunder with Ben Stiller and sohai Jack Black).Then Gwyneth Paltrow as his secretary Miss Pepper Potts is likable and oh so adoring.Terrence Howard as Jim Rhodes?ok la..but he didn't really get his shine in this movie,maybe the next one will focus on the relationship between him and Tony Stark.Jeff 'The Dude' Bridges is almost unrecognizable as Obadiah Stane,and as the main villain in the movie he's pretty convincing.
The plot was fast-paced,no dilly-dally,just straight away cut to the chase,intersected with some scenes that highlights the actors emotions and bla bla,but not too much to the point of being cheesy or dragging.The dialog is good,and Robert Downey Jr.'s improvisation and involvement in the script certainly liven up the movie("Please,no gang signs.I'm joking,throw it up").
The biggest attraction of the movie is,no doubt,the Iron Man suit of armor,which by far was the coolest shiznit I've seen on screen since Transformers.If this movie was made ten years ago,I would bet my ass that Iron Man would look like Robocop.In red and yellow.Scary.When Tony Stark suits up,the armor shown attaching together part by part was so painstakingly detailed that I nearly cried tears of joy.And the audience were all ohhhs and ahhhs.Words cannot describe how friggin cool the suit is,you just have to see it for yourself.
Fans of the comics will certainly spot some subtle references to the Marvel Universe and Iron Man comics,such as Stan Lee's cameo,a sly nod to Jim Rhodes' War Machine in the next Iron Man movie ("Next time,baby!!"),Obadiah Stane mentioning that by selling weapons he is a "War Monger",S.H.I.E.L.D.(dayummm didn't see that one coming)..did I missed out anything?
*SPOILERS..Kinda*
The movie was stopped halfway through the credits,so I missed a lil' something something.All around the world the internet forums were buzzing of a scene after the credits,where Tony Stark returns home to find someone sitting on his chair.A black bald man with an eye patch (played by a black bald man who used to fool around with light sabers,and was on a plane with "muthafuckin' snakes")introduces himself to him as the head of something-something,and ask him to join the "something-something".Marvel fanboys will know what I'm talking about.Go watch this shit.You won't be disappointed.Now waiting for what's Coming up:Man in mask and cowl versus man in white face and green hair,and a big green freak vs (what else?) another big green freak(No its not Shrek 4,you lovable gullible poopoo).

"You called me ignorant?"
Check this clip out,where a British woman called Busta Rhymes "ignorant" for ignoring her requests to "com hear haf a feitou!!com hear haf a feitou!".Bussa Bus was about to go up his bus (hey a pun!) when he overheard that remark,paused in his tracks,turn around,look her in the face,and gave her a piece of his mind.Sweeeet...Woo Hah!!
