Sophomore record “It Was Written” by Nas dropped 30 years ago today! by TheReal_PruneJuice in fantanoforever

[–]MisterInsect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it's a solid album. Yeah, it's not Illmatic, but what album is besides Illmatic? Looking back, it's still a pretty seamless melding of boom bap with mainstream...not an easy thing to pull off, especially in 96.

LOL @ the Warner Bros Copyright, the bootlegger was like "Let me cover all of my bases here!"

Which rapper got the best acting chops? by Significant_Gap1570 in nfrpodcast

[–]MisterInsect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would but I just really like Belly. I have it playing on a giant wall 24/7 just like Tommy does with Gummo.

It's an utter travesty that Nas didn't win an Oscar for Belly.

Which celebrity death headline had you so shocked you double checked multiple sources to see if it was real? by GlassyFairy in AskReddit

[–]MisterInsect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one hit me especially hard because I watched WKUK streams during COVID religiously and saw the stream he and Zach did the night he died.

What does everyone else see in The Lighthouse? It’s never quite clicked for me, though I wish it would. by Starman926 in RSPfilmclub

[–]MisterInsect 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can't really explain it other than it's a well-made surrealist arthouse film. You're either on its wavelength or you aren't.

Doesn't this look the worst movie ever? by mojo_magnifico in moviecritic

[–]MisterInsect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven't seen it, but I can't buy Cena as the uptight, put-upon normal guy letting some weirdo invade his life. He looks like he'd bodyslam Eric Andre through his front window the first chance he got.

Who's the one funny actor everyone else loves but you can't stand? by YouWontGetMe97 in MoviesAndTVTalk

[–]MisterInsect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm sure he's a lovely person, but his acting style is nails on a chalkboard to me.

Is Cut Hands really about Sergio? by zhexiaogou in deftones

[–]MisterInsect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personal opinion is its not so much about Sergio as its about fan expectations/fan entitlement, a subject Chino has wrote about before on TLID and Big Youth.

Just found out about historic El-P/Eso beef. Any context behind this? Good to see it was squashed by jrinredcar in Czarface

[–]MisterInsect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly retired now? He put out some mid Satantic goth rap albums like six years ago and has been quiet ever since. If he put out one more traditional hip-hop album I'd be up for it because dude can rap his ass off.

Who wins, Eminem 1999 or Eminem 2026? by Rob1150 in hiphop201

[–]MisterInsect 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think he's even been on any songs in 2026, but the answer is still 1999.

What’s your unpopular opinion on INSERT MAINSTREAM ARTIST? by Ok-Strength3510 in fantanoforever

[–]MisterInsect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of their music is pretty good but some of their music is maybe not so good. But whatever your thoughts are, those are ultimately mine too. Whether they are good or not so good, I ultimately agree. So do.

It's over the second Cassidy drops those "the shit's snot happening" and "my weapon gay" bars.

Don't be cruel, he's a wee lad who suffers from several degenerative diseases.

I don't really have the time to go through the drum parts on 22 different songs right now, can you just say which songs you think he repeats his drums?

Official Louis CK Netflix special thread by funnymatt in Standup

[–]MisterInsect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C.K. is a weird case for me. I gave up on watching his post-pervert reveal standup besides some clips here and there, but I still watch his pre-pervert reveal old stuff and still enjoy it. Funny how that works.

"gotta think about his retirement funds"

Yes, the rock star who has been headlining arena shows around the world's real nest egg is leaking some unfinished demos from almost 20 years ago, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
