This is someone who has been there and near enough done it all giving you the best advice he can on (if you can in anyway relate, that is) how to kickstart yourself and the entire black community into something more prosperous and pure.
If you’re to focus on one storyline and take it away from this album, put aside all the Beyonce/Becky nonsense and study The Story of O.J. In terms of the albums concept, it introduces it all well, scattergunning over topics with both forthright arrogance and subliminally telling Future he is a mug. production and the artist don’t feel in harmony, and it doesn’t have that immediate attention grab many artists yearn for in longer bodies of work. Jay Z sounds almost wheezy, and it’s a rare moment the mostly supreme No I.D. Kicking things off in order, Kill Jay Z is not your stereotypical opener to a rap album, perhaps systematic of the record to follow but actually one of the weakest songs on the whole thing. How very wrong I was, as 4:44 easily slots itself into the upper echelons of Hov’s discography. After a number of difficult to love releases, stretching back into the last decade, and with very little fanfare surrounding the album’s release, I almost felt resigned to disappointment by Jay. His first major release since the birth and (debatable) growth of Tidal is here in 4:44.
Even if it's giving me hints, pointing at something I've missed or making sure I do something in the series at a certain point then spoiler tag it, I will read all replies and will respond if I feel like it's necessary.Over 20 years since his debut, and amid an ever-changing music game, Jay Z keeps on going. I don't wish to prohibit any kind of talk on the series, but if it's regarding events not seen in the posted videos then please spoiler tag it. Since you asked, by the way, the Special Editions are 10 dollars each American or 15 for the bundle. Unfortunately Curse & Escape are unavailable as a digital purchase, so for this LP I will be dusting off the cases and installing from my old CD-Roms. The complete Tales Of Monkey Island is also available at gog.com for $34.99.
I'm not sure on the American pricing but I can update this if someone let's me know. The Tales of Monkey Island are also available on Steam for £24.99 for the complete collection. The special editions are available on Steam at £6.99 each or £10.99 in a bundle together. At first it may be a nostalgia trip though. I will also be playing from memory too, let's hope that holds out.
I hope it's an interesting experience for those who have played the originals but not the special editions too. With the first two Monkey Island games I will be playing the revamped special editions, which I have never played before, so it will be a new and interesting experience for myself. Starting from The Secret Of Monkey Island then continuing on with Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, The Curse Of Monkey Island, Escape From Monkey Island and then finishing up with The Tales Of Monkey Island. I will be playing all five parts of the series. The fifth instalment of the series makes use of keyboard and mouse controls. The fourth game in the series adopted the GrimE engine as seen in Grim Fandango.
The original three games in the series were classic point-and-click adventure games, although the third abandoned the traditional controls and adopted a similar system LucasArts used in Full Throttle. Each game's plot usually involves the mysterious Monkey Island and its impenetrable secrets." The games follow the misadventures of the hapless Guybrush Threepwood as he struggles to become the most notorious pirate in the Caribbean, defeat the plans of the evil undead pirate LeChuck and win the heart of governess Elaine Marley. The fifth installment of the franchise was developed by Telltale Games in collaboration with LucasArts. The first four games in the series were produced and published by LucasArts, formerly known as Lucasfilm Games. "Monkey Island is the collective name given to a series of five graphic adventure games. Apologies for the amateurish start but I hope I have redeemed myself Half way through LeChuck's Revenge I bought a better headset which was most definitely needed. Introduction Please note, due to my own lack of experience there are some technical issues in Secret and LeChuck's Revenge but I did get my shit together eventually.
