Think of the first James Bond movie you ever saw as a kid. Was the opening action sequence, a staple of the franchise, not the most thrilling thing your young eyes had ever witnessed? In a few short minutes you learned everything you needed to know about 007: he's clever, he's lethal, he has toys cooler than anything your parents let you buy, he has women you can only dream of, and he never ever gets hit by the innumerable bullets shot at him. Those crafty escape or chase sequences set the tone for the rest of the film, bringing [...]

The title of the biopic would be "Straight Outta Compton" -- which also happens to be the [...]

Some of his tracks are heavy bangers while others have a more ambient and chilled tone to them. I tried to select a few tracks that really highlighted his unique sound. I would almost liken it to Bassnectar when he was first exploring bass genres in the mid 2000s.... check it out for yourself... right click "Save [...]
