Empire has Taken over the Television

So over the break besides the long periods of sleeping and not thinking of homework or anything of that manner.  My roomie convinced me to watch this show:

May I just say a round of applause to the writers, producers, directors and every other aspect of this show.  This show has reached a potential that I have never seen in any other show. It has the music, the plot twists and most important the talent to pull off such an amazing production. So worth while!

Empire was picked up on FOX in May. It is a musical drama television series, that centers around hip-hop music and an entertainment company---EMPIRE ENTERTAINMENT. The show was created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong and stars Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson.

Rapping up this seasons finale this Wednesday. With an astounding amount of flips and turns, punches and blows. Leading someone to do some time...... 

According to Vulture.com---

**With the season finale it probably topped those number all together**

This is an amazing mind blowing show that continues to accomplish it's goal in pleasing their audience every week. I look forward to season 2 of EMPIRE ! 

Like Lucious Lyon said "This isn't over!

Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap

Recently, I watched the documentary Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap, directed by Ice-T. The documentary is a series of interviews that highlights the history of hip-hop culture and explains the meaning of rap music. All of the interviewees are hip-hop legends that shaped the culture and started a revolutionary music style. This was Ice-T's (yes, the guy from Law & Order) first film and as a fan of old school hip-hop, I was extremely pleased with Ice-T's execution. Due to Ice-T's high status in the hip-hop world, he was able to get in touch with the pioneers of hip-hop. The interviewees included Snoop Dogg, Grandmaster Caz, Afrika Bambaata, Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Common, Immortal Technique, KRS-One, Ice Cube, Doug E. Fresh, Raekwon, Rakim, and many more legends. The documentary highlights the history of hip-hop on both the East Coast and West Coast and each interviewee spits a freestyle. The video is comprised of city life helicopter shots and street level b-roll. Many people don't appreciate what I would consider to be "real hip-hop." Hip-hop is a form of poetry and art and many mainstream rappers today give hip-hop a bad name and image. I recommend The Art of Rap to those who listen to old school hip-hop and the names of the artists I listed above. I also recommend this film to those who think mainstream rap is good music so that they can understand the poetic roots and appreciate true pioneers of the culture. I also recommend this film to those who dislike hip-hop so that they may come to appreciate the music and learn why and how the culture was created.

I wish I did this

Here is an ADR of a song about Star Wars to different Star Wars movies. I love it and wish I did this for my ADR project. It's called Star Wars Gangster Rap
