Music stays with you, even after years or decades have passed. On occasion, you’ll completely forget about songs or entire albums until you hear an intro or a bar, and you’re instantly transported to the time you first heard it. Along with Prince’s Purple Rain and Michael Jackson‘s […]
Who’d have thought that out of all the MC’s on Big L’s “Da Graveyard” it would be Jay-Z that’d become the most famous? This song is where I first heard Party Arty, a rapper from the Bronx with a gruff voice and a menacing delivery; someone I was […]
After watching the video for “America On Fire” by David Sabastian (sometimes misspelled “David Sebastian”) I had high hopes for the rapper. It’s been a while since a new MC came out with personality and political opinion and this track reminded me of Crank Lucas‘ similarly underrated song […]
Flashback is such an underrated film. When I saw that it had a 55% score on Rotten Tomatoes, I had to write about. Also known as The Education Of Fredrick Fitzell, this movie seems to be the Marmite of contemporary cinema; you’ll either love it or hate it. […]
The 1980s were a crap time for politics and economics but in terms of entertainment, the decade was responsible for some great movies, especially those geared toward kids and teens. Most ’80s movies like Back To The Future and Breakfast Club are well known, then there’s the second-tier […]
The Little Things was another cinematic victim of the Coronavirus, with HBO Max keeping it for their overpriced streaming service in the U.S. and the UK being offered it as a premium video on demand. Despite my interest, I didn’t feel like forking-out £15.99 for it, but then […]
After the release of Smoothe Da Hustler’s underground classic Once Upon A Time In America and the non-release shambles of Trigger Tha Gambler’s Life’s A 50/50 Gamble, the duo’s clique-slash-recording studio Nexx Level, released a compilation album titled All Up In Ya… to showcase their stable of talent […]
After his brother released the underground classic Once Upon A Time In America in March 1996, Trigger Tha Gambler was set to unleash his solo offering Life’s A 50/50 Gamble later that same year. I remember pestering my local record shop, asking them week in and week out […]
Smoothe Da Hustler, one of the greatest rappers of all time but also one of the most underrated and most under-exposed MCs of the 1990s, released his impressive debut LP Once Upon A Time In America in 1996. Smoothe’s singles “Hustlin’” and “Broken Language” played constantly on Hip-Hop […]
Greta is an underrated psychological thriller directed by Neil Jordan. The film which stars Isabelle Huppert, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Maika Monroe, received lots of overly-critical reviews when it was released but I found it to be highly entertaining. In case you don’t know, Greta is about a […]
Tailgate (also known as Bumperkleef) is an underrated Dutch thriller directed by Lodewijk Crijns and starring Jeroen Spitzenberger, Anniek Pheifer, Roosmarijn van der Hoek, Liz Vergeer, and Willem de Wolf. These names may mean nothing to you if you’re in, let’s say the U.K. or U.S. (for all […]
The Fall is a fantasy drama written and directed by Tarsem Singh. Released six years after his directorial debut The Cell, this was a superior follow-up. With its extremely unique and exquisite visuals, this film looks utterly stunning and is an improvement over his first movie both in […]
The Cell is an underrated science fiction horror-thiller directed by Tarsem Singh (or simply “Tarsem” as he was known back then). Originally a director of adverts, this was his directorial debut. The Cell is about a psychologist called Catherine Deane (played by Jennifer Lopez) who can enter the […]
