When Phone Test Driving Goes Wrong

So, this past week, my beloved HTC One M8 went bad, and the screen started having some issues. Sad, sad news. Not quite sure what happened, as I don't fumble my phone or anything like that, so I sold it, and got the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to test drive just for a week until the Nexus 6 arrives at T-Mobile. So I've been using this phone for a few days now, and I gotta say, this phone is amazing. Absolutely amazing. Samsung really stepped their game up with this device here. It's very well built, actually, I'd go as far as to say this is Samsung's best built device ever. The metal that's been incorporated into the edges of the device really make a huge difference in the feel of the phone, and I'm loving it.
     Moving on, the camera on this thing? Absolutely bananas! I've never had a phone that took such clear pictures. I swear you could see my cuticles on my fingers on a picture I took of my hand. You could see my fingerprints. It's crazy! The screen on this bad boy is great as well. I mean there's just so much to love about this device.
     The problem I'm having with it is, I wasn't supposed to actually like this device. It was supposed to just be a holdover until the phone I really want arrives, and I get rid of it. I'm a Nexus guy. I like the stock Android experience. That's Android the way it's supposed to be, unlike Samsung and their touchwiz, which actually isn't so bad here on the Note 4. I still don't like it, but I could get used to it. Also, I don't like that the Note 4 costs $100 more, full price than the Nexus 6. Granted, that $100 more is probably justified, but still, $100 more nonetheless.
     Three days in, and I'm conflicted. Do I keep the Note 4, and not worry about the Nexus 6? Or do I stay on team Nexus? Gonna be a tough choice. Hopefully, T-Mobile gets the Nexus soon and I can make it easier on myself, because the longer I use this Note 4, the more I'll like it, and may not want to get rid of it...
     Anyway, that's been it. Just wanted to change it up a bit and do a tech blog for once. If you're in the Market for a new device right now, definitely get the Note 4, as I'm sure most consumers don't really care about the different software on phones like I do. I have no problem recommending this device. It's a damn beast. Let me know what you all think, and what devices you all use. Thanks for reading. Peace.

Rittz - Top of the Line Album Review!

Image
    Watch the Video Review here! This has probably been the hardest review I’ve had to write. Upon first listen of Top of the Line, Rittz’s 3rd official album on Tech N9ne’s Strange Music record label, I said to myself, “Holy shit, this is going to be my first 5 star album review! That was amazing!” I usually try not to form too much of an opinion about a project until I’ve listened to it a few times, but after just one listen, I already knew this one was special. Every emotion that you can feel while listening to an album are present here, and that’s often not the case. Rittz even managed to have me a bit emotional at the end of the album (more on that later.) There is not a single bad song throughout this entire project. Not one! This is also very rare, especially over the course of 24 songs. But the real question I’ve been asking myself all week, and even still now is, is this album really a 5 star album? I’ve spent the past week listening to TOTL trying to co

Krizz Kaliko - Go Album Review

Watch the Video Review here! Right from the jump here, I want to say that I like Krizz Kaliko’s music. When I first was coming across the Strange Music camp, I felt as if Kaliko was a Spliff Starr type of dude, meaning he was more of a sidekick or hype man for Tech N9ne instead of a very well talented artist himself. Once I got further into Strange Music, I realized this guy can really spit pretty much as good as anybody on the roster. But, I’ve always felt that he was similar to Cee-Lo Green. Sure, the guy can rap, and rap better than most rappers in the game. But, I’ve always felt like his singing is what would make him a star. I’ve always really like Kaliko singing more than his rapping. And on his latest album, Go, Krizz Kaliko gives us a lot more of that singing that I feel he’s so great at, and the album is better off because of it. The album starts off with an introduction from a motherly voice talking to Krizz and pretty much setting us up for what’s to come the

A Look Back at 2018!

2018......... Whew..... Where do I begin? Let's get the bad out the way first. 2018 has been the worst year of my work career, which says a lot because in the past 12 years, I've had two other times where I thought, "It doesn't get any worse than this!".... I was wrong.... It does..... It's been like a long running bad joke with no punchline.... Like no ending!! Just trash!!! Throw the whole work year away!! 👆🏿Has led to some Mental health issues. At some points of the year, I didn't know if I'd even have a career to end the year! Each time I thought things were improving, I'd get kicked in the dick and brought back to the reality of suck again. 🤷🏿‍♂️ The song I wrote called, " I'm Fine ," was real! And about me! Family: We lost one to start the year with the passing of my step-mother. Terrible way to begin the year. My father is Superman in my eyes, and it was tough, yet understandable, to see Superman in a weakene
