Petestrumentals is allright but it doesn't work as an album like Donuts. It's just effective short loops repeated for 3-4 minutes. These 2 albums shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.

[quote Genesis_Jaime]I can't imagine shelling out the cash it would take to go to the cinema enough times to have seen enough films that I had to cut the list down to a top 10 per year.
I went to the cinema maybe once in '08. And I'm a film enthusiast and student.[/quote]
True, I just wait 5-6 months and then rent it now.
Torc @ 01/07/2009 08:21 PM : Joint artist capitalization
I've seen a lot of profiles like these:
[Artist136555]
[Artist23366]
[Artist208244]
According to our guidelines, "with", "feat." and "featuring" are all words that would normally be capitalized. Is there an exemption to this? Should these even be included in profiles?

No fucking way the rapping on that Cypress Hill album is bad. So many of those songs are classics musically AND lyrically. B-Real started to repeat himself a TON starting with the second album though, which resulted in a full-on falloff by the time IV came out.
The beats on that new Pete Rock album never rise above "okay". Any random NY producer could have made them. The 3 or whatever songs I liked on it were actually saved by the rapping, if anything.
Never heard Petestrumentals, but Donuts = "stanned on" for a fucking reason, seriously. Best thing Jay Dee released under his own name by a mile.
