ICE CUBE- KILL AT WILL


Ice Cube
Kill at Will
(1990)
Priority Records

Dateline: Saturday, April 25, 2020

I’m on my Rick Pitino right now. Straight Outta Compton Ice Cube is not walking through that door. Amerikkka’s Most Wanted Ice Cube’s not walking through that door. Boyz N The Hood Ice Cube’s not walking through that door. And if he does, he’s gonna turn around in make another Are We There Yet? I’m not mad at Cube at all. He's done really well for himself since he left N.W.A.  Which reminds me, I have to remind myself to catch the Big3 games on TV when the season starts.  I really enjoyed Are We There Yet like the next person? Just like I enjoyed Eddie Murphy in Dr. Dolittle and Daddy Day Care. It showed a different layer to them. Granted, I still dig Cube and Eddie when they’re at their edgiest. Now, it’s just a different kind of edge.  Loved Cube in Fist Fight.  I heard Eddie brought his old magic in the Dolemite movie.  I didn't get a chance to see it yet.  Yeah, I know...and my nephew has gotten me hip to Cube’s latest albums too.  Which was banging.  The edge hasn’t really gone anywhere, it’s just been readjusted to fit a new climate.  There's nothing wrong with evolving as a person.  Besides, I'm not in no rush to see Cube with a jheri curl and Eddie wearing tight ass leather suits any time soon.

RETURN TO FOREVER- ROMANTIC WARRIOR

Image
Return To Forever Romantic Warrior (1976) Columbia Records Dateline: Saturday, April 11, 2020 Return To Forever is one of those groups who I would love to have seen live back in the day.  The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Weather Report too.  It just feels like magic happens whenever these bands would play.  The unexplained becomes explained.  I can’t forget The Headhunters either with Herbie Hancock. It feels like whenever you catch a Return To Forever show, you better come with it because you're gonna be in for a ride. You get out of breath when the opening drums kicks off.  The pace is like a cheetah in the open land.  The precision is sharp.  The level is high.  It's like drinking five or six Red Bulls.  You have to stay on course or you're gonna get left behind.  It's like the Fusion Frankenstein concocted zoom juice in the lab and seeped it into their instruments.  The monster was unleashed to the audience and ...

VARIOUS ARTISTS- D.C. CAB ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

Various Artists D.C. Cab Original Soundtrack (1983) MCA Records Dateline: Sunday, April 12, 2020 You throw in a movie with Mr. T, Grady from Sanford and Son, my man from Barney Miller (can't think of his name at the moment), Gary Busey, Marsha Warfield, Paul Rodriguez and Bill Maher and you got what?? The WTF All Stars? I guess at the time, it was a big deal based on all of the names I just mentioned.  It probably didn't make a difference how suspect the movie was. Mr. T alone is enough to make you go see it since he was the man back then.  How do I describe D.C. Cab?  Well, to me it's like Car Wash meets Animal House.   A variety of characters that at least keeps you sticking around for a little while.  It does smell like 80s cheese though.  A team working together to make the cab company a success and trying to overcome the odds.  All that while with a high fiving in the air.  At least the soundtrack makes up for the movie....
