I Though It Was Just Me...

Apparently I'm not the only person who doesn't get Tyler Perry's House of Payne. Now I have to admit, I've never seen his plays or his movies. I've just never been that drawn to any of them or had any of them recommended to me personally. I did try on more than one occasion to sit down and watch an episode of House of Payne. The acting seems amateurish at best, the writing is a bore, and the jokes themselves just seem to fall flat. According to Thembi over at The Smoking Section, I'm not the only one. Read what he had to say in a recent post. But of course, you can and should be your own judge. Jala.

Merry (late) Christmas!

The nice folks over at The Smoking Section put together a list of notable albums of 2008. Of course any list of anything related to hip hop or music in general will generate controversy and debate. I'm not going there, but they've got download links to a gang of good albums that you may have missed. They've got 08's entries from The Roots, G-Unit, Jeezy, T.I., Killer Mike, Weezy, Nas and some others. Below you'll find the link to their post. I'm downloading Joe Budden's Halfway House as I type this. I missed that one and a couple others. The downloads are via Rapidshare, so you'll have to be quick about it. Also, if you're not a member and merely a free user like me, you'll only be able to download one each day. But it's a whole album for free. So get on it.
