The A.D.D. Report: Volume 1


J. Powell, you nice but I'm here to make your audience not wanna read another noun or verb from you. That's a Kendrick Lamar joke for those who didn't get it.

I'm River. You may remember me from such blogs as the ONLY ONE I have on this site. I can't even remember the name of it because its been so long.

Every writer has that way of writing which is unique to them. I will be known for my A.D.D. style and randomness. This blog will cover a little bit of everything. So without any further ado...

"The Great Gatsby" Soundtrack Album Stream


This soundtrack has almost as much hype as the movie.  It was executive produced Jay-Z, and as much as it pains me to say this, I think he might have over-thought this one.  This whole thing smells like Jigga's best Kanye impersonation.

His song 100$ Bill falls flat in my opinion, there's just too much going on for my taste. As a matter of fact, that seems to be the theme of the entire soundtrack...too much going on.  Emile Sande has a remake of Beyonce's Crazy In Love, and Beyonce has a cover of Amy Winehouse's Back To Black featuring Andre 3000.  Both are over-experimental and evaporated all the soul that existed in each original.

Don't get me wrong, there are a few nice tracks on the LP, but all of the ones I was looking forward to left me disappointed.  Check it out for yourself, the NPR link for the full album stream is below.  You're welcome.

DJ Green Lantern - Jiggaman Bootleg


Alright, enough with emotions, huh.  Had to do some push-ups after that last post.  I'm going with a little harder tribute for this post.  This is DJ Green Lantern's tribute to Jay-Z, a.k.a. S(dot)Carter, a.k.a Hova, a.k.a. Jiggaman.  It's also the intro to his upcoming mixtape.  It features tidbits of Jay's biggest hits.  It goes hard and I love it, and it doesn't feature Suit & Tie, so Kanye probably likes it too...probably, but I'm sure if he doesn't we'll hear about it at his next concert.  You're welcome.
