if only george lucas cast MJ as Jar Jar Binks, we could have gotten the GOAT musician-actor performance.

I listened to the soundtrack but I never bothered watching that crap lol. I wonder if it's worth a late night watch, looked like a wack take on how high tbh
Honestly cannot imagine it is. Best musician performance I've seen is David Bowie in Prestige I think. I might be forgetting something though.

Never realized this... Time to toss my CD remaster and dig out my OG cassette? I wish the remaster removed all the Puffy ad-libs. They just take me out of it every time.
yeah nibel - i honestly slept heavy during the irishninja era, so i'm totally reading some of his high word-count shit for the first time over here. know i've missed a few but im reading em where i can & hope he does a big ol greatest hits post when the thread's almost done fam
No problem that's exactly when I bump at work when no one is around.
Tom Waits in Down by Law. Bowie in Man Who Fell to Earth. Bjork in Dancer in the Dark. Foxx in Ray, Django, or Collateral. Smith in Six Degrees of Separation.

Foxx was meh as fuck in Django. Should have been Elba

I disagree he was great, much better than Will Smith would have been. Though Samuel and Leo own the film as convincing villains.

He was amazing and portrayed what he should have portrayed. It's not his fault he had to act with Christoph Waltz, who stole the show.

Eh...Elba would have been boring in the role. Jamie was alright, but seriously Will Smith should have jumped on the shit.
I want bad ass Will to make a come back...

October is within a few days, it’s ironic that this album that I am about to review came out around the same time…well within a week and some change. On October 8th 1996, No Limit released a debut album from a hip hop duo known as Kane and Abel entitled “7 Sins”. Before there was “Clipse”, there were these twin brothers out of New Orleans that were formerly known as Double Vision. No Limit was known for gangsta rap with a basic rhyme schemes ala soldier, doulja (whatever the hell that means), rollers, and holdups. You get the picture. Yet, they weren’t known for their lyrical ability around that time and even to this very day (such a shame). However, P wouldn’t back down from change, as he introduced lyrical powerhouses like Mia X and this brotherly duo.
Now back to the album, it’s pretty good….no damn good. It’s like a good rendition of an east coast hip hop album with some southern flavor. The album starts off with the smash hit “Gangstafied” which became an underground success in 96. You listen to the track and go…”meh..I heard it all before”. You are wrong because this album just pulls a fast one over listeners with banging tracks like “This is the Life”, “Black Jesus”, “Basement Session”, “That’s how it’s goin’ Happen 2 U’, and my personal favorite “God & Gunz” featuring the best rapper out of the No Limit camp bar none “Mac”. Seriously, this album is glorious to the point even the beats were losing their shit (This is the Life). 7 Sins is an example of Quality>>>>Quantity that Master P should have thought about doing, rather than pushing compilation albums as solo releases. It’s cheating in a way, but still a genius move as a CEO of a record company.
Bottom line, go out and check this album out. You won’t regret it and I’m going to put the links of the top songs at the bottom of this review for reference. This is an example of hidden gems that No Limit put out, but folks want to follow the whole “No Limit is garbage” bandwagon rather than seeing their good efforts for themselves. As a music fan, this album is worth every penny and show diversity in styles within No Limit, rather than “My brother was pushing up daisies/momma take care of your baby”. Sorry P
Overall Score: 9.0

Don't worry, I smirked.
Damn that ether...
Mike Will has been pretty quiet since the beginning of the year with Sremmlife and that Two-9 tape. We're gonna eat with Sremmlife 2 and hopefully Ape Shit.
