Eminem: “We Made You” Good old Marshall Mathers. We know we can always count on him for his incisive, sardonic and hilarious observations on popular culture. Sure, he may have done this before, so they say, but as long as there are buffoonish media figures, Eminem will be happy to cut them down to size and look good doing it. Not only is it amazing that his rapid-fire rhymes contrast so well with the swinging music, but you gotta love how yet again nothing is sacred to him. The targets this time include Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, Portia de Rossi, and most well-deserved of all in my humble opinion, Sarah Palin. Keep up the good work, Eminem! We need more iconoclasts like you! Spot on!

Ciara featuring Justin Timberlake: “Love Sex Magic” Ciara is a talented singer, but it’s a rotten shame that she feels compelled to compose and perform ordinary, cookie-cutter, dime-a-dozen, plastic pop songs such as this one, with its monotonous rhythm. In fact, I can feel it in my bones that in the next few years, this song is going to be used in a commercial for some trendy rotgut alcoholic beverage marketed specifically toward idiotic twenty-somethings who don’t know how to drink properly. Hell, that’s all it’s good for. But whatever. It’s nice of her to keep Justin Timberlake from having to spend the rest of his life working at McDonald’s. Anyway… Not on! music reviews

911 Call the Hip-Hop Doctor

Wednesday, 29 April, 2009

What has hip-hop become? We’re in an age where the roots of hip-hop have been lost and forgotten. We’re in an age where Youtube rules hip-hop because everyone is trying to learn a new dance.

Soulja Boy is to blame for that, but he does deserve respect. Soulja Boy is 19 and made his own beats from his dad’s computer and recorded his own songs. He came up by himself and has left his footprint in hip-hop. There are songs that irritate me more than the overplayed dance songs. Songs about making ridiculous amounts of money drive me crazy. America is in the middle of one of the worst recessions ever. No one is making unimaginable amounts of money like those rappers; we’re all unimaginably broke. We can’t make it rain in the strip clubs like they do or pop bottles all night long. Read the rest of this entry »

17 Again is The Story We’ve Heard Before

Tuesday, 28 April, 2009

17 Again was #1 in the box offices when it came out, and I have to admit, the trailer got me to swoon over Zac Efron’s good looks and is the reason for my minor celebrity crush. But, in the movie they portray him as being pretty…way too pretty boy for my tastes.

17 Again is quite similar to other typical movies that send a person to a different age…think 13 going on 30 and Big. Or also, similar to the countless cliché “popular guy” characters who go downhill after high school. We’ve all heard and seen these types before. Both are very used-up in Hollywood.

17again1Mike is the main character; the older version is Matthew Perry and the younger version is Zac Efron. (Which I found weird, because out of all people they casted Zac and Matthew to play Mike… They are nothing alike!). The movie starts off when Mike was a popular jock in high school with the perfect hair and the perfect body. The basketball coach, Coach Murphy tells him a college scout is coming to watch the game for scholarships. During the game, he sees his girlfriend Scarlet, played by Leslie Mann and finds out she is pregnant. He decides to stay with her and marry her. He suddenly wakes up and now, in his thirties, he hates his life and job, his marriage with Scarlet is falling apart, his children think he is a loser, and he is very unattractive. Here’s one of the predictable parts… Read the rest of this entry »

MyUniSpot Launch

Monday, 27 April, 2009

Yep, its a welcome post.

I would like to personally welcome everyone to MyUniSpot. As being the first post, I want to let you know a little about this site. MyUniSpot is a blog made for the everyday college student informing you on everything that students have interest in. Now Before I Bore You with the details on why we were made and what our vision is lets move on to what you want to read about.  Now since this post has no set topic that I am concentrating on except for introducing you to the site, what would be better than a random scatter of college interest stories that will directly relate to future post that you may read.

snakes-on-planeRecently, as many of you may have heard, the epic movie “Snakes on a Plane” has become reality.  A plane in Australia was landed because 4 pythons that were stored in cargo went missing.  The plane was landed and the snakes were not found.  It was reported that a reptile expert was called and he stated that the other snakes may have ate the 4 missing snakes…Yummy. Final verdict: Reptile expert…WRONG! They weighed the remaining snakes and they had not been any heavier than before.  Way to go “expert.” Anyway, they ended up fumigating(loading the thing with chemicals) the plane and said quote, “If these snakes ever turn up on one of our aircrafts, they will be very much dead snakes.”  Good going buddy, I am sure the passengers on the next flight in Australia are going to love the smell of dead snakes on the plane.  So here’s my suggestion, give Samuel L. Jackson on the phone and I guarantee you he will get those Mother Read the rest of this entry »

College Case Study #1: The Stripper

Monday, 27 April, 2009

...three teenagers … six hours later lessons were learned…

This particular case study happened among three young college men of the particular variation, first years. The only precursor to this case would be the fact that the three young men in question had recently turned 18 years old and lived in their university’s housing facilities. The main hypothetical question for this case is, “what might three young men do with a lot of time and not a lot of boredom-quenching ideas,”? The answer is, apparently, drive to a strip club. The town in which this case takes place is a one horse town and the nearest strip club is at least 40 minutes away. The details upon their arrival, other than their difficulty finding a parking space, are to remain silent for the sake of not offending anyone. I assure you, as the silence may be, that the details are indeed grotesque and offending to most. Read the rest of this entry »
