NEW DEVELOPMENTS FOR ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT T.V. SHOW

Nearly ten years ago in the fall of 2003 Arrested Development aired it's first episode on the Fox broadcasting channel. 2 1/2 years later the show had been cancelled. Now this storyline is not necessarily an unoriginal one. Many times we the viewing public has witnessed a show come on the airs and before you know it, it's gone and we move on to the next one.

Although, this may be true for most shows, some shows are special. In it's run on Fox Arrested Development received major critical claim, including earning 6 Emmy awards and 1 golden globe. Over the past decade it has been considered one of the funniest television shows to have existed and often proclaimed a "cult-classic" by it's devoted fans. Since the cancellation of the show in early 2006 there have often been rumors in Hollywood of a movie to be produced starring the original cast. And even though these rumors have been confirmed and unconfirmed several times, we do know that the show has been in production since August 7th of this year with 10 to 13 episodes planned and has a scheduled release on Netflix in it's entirety for the Spring of 2013.

Creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, says the revival of the show and it's airing in the Spring is a gear up for the movie which has yet to have a finalized screenplay, but has been in the works for several years. If that's not enough to get fans excited Alia Shawkat, who plays Maeby Funke, says, "The scripts keep getting funnier and funnier... and we get to do some crazy ****." If the show is even close to where it left off in 2006 I personally can't wait to see it.

Week in Review: Democratic National Convention "Big Willie Style"

Just this past week we, as american citizens, witnessed another great historic event in American politics take place in Charlotte,NC at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. In the wake of what was a "lack-luster" convention from the Republican party the week prior, the Democratic National Convention sharply contrasted its predecessor by doing what most politicians have a difficult time doing, grabbing the full attention of the public.

Kicking off Tuesday with a myriad of minority congressman giving riveting speeches throughout the day, only to be surprisingly upstaged by First Lady Michelle Obama, the first day of the DNC garnered much respect and viewership that already placed the event in a category above the expected from both Republicans and Democrats alike. However, everything happens for a reason and the attention on the convention from the night before was all in preparation for the next headline advocate to speak Wednesday night: Bill Clinton. Former President Clinton stole the show that night (and arguably the entire convention) with his speech which not only gave his secured praising recommendation for re-election of President Barak Obama, but he also made sure to let all of the "naysayers" (Republicans) know exactly what he has accomplished and done well for our nation over the past four years. In a brilliant effort to not over look the fact that Republicans would downplay his speech without the specific details, Mr. Clinton made sure to include many detailed numbers and arithmetic for all to follow when referencing national spending, the national budget and most importantly the nations plan to bring down the outrageous deficit.

Overall, the convention was one "well played" by the Democratic party as Michelle paved the way for Clinton who lined up the entire nation to listen to President Obama on Thursday so that he could deliver his serious and important message from the convention to the masses of viewers enthralled by the content that had already been addressed by both the Republican and Democratic parties before. Although, President Obama wasn't his usual gregarious self on stage last week, he was serious about his message which resonated with all of the Democratic speakers last week: "Things are getting better still, but we still need more time."

Childish Gambino - R O Y A L T Y (Mixtape Review)

Donald Glover a.k.a Childish Gambino has once again proven his propensity to surpass all expectations in his rapping capabilities (as well as almost everything else he does) in his latest mixtape "Royalty"

Almost representative of an intricate movie, Donald Glover features "Royalty" along with a star studded cast of rappers, actors and producers (and even athletes!)who take us through an array of various contrasting scenes that go on to display the immense growth and development from Childish Gambino as both a rapper and producer.

Young Gambino starts the mixtape by flexing his "Hollywood status power-ess" with Los Angeles Clipper's star Power Forward Blake Griffin on the introduction saying "This is Blake Griffin...and this is Royalty" (which is random as hell, but I still can't deny the fact that it IS dope that he got Blake Griffin to hop on his mixtape period)...from this point we transition into the Gambino and Ludwig assisted production "We Ain't Them" where we hear Childish Gambino's growth as an artist almost immediately with his content focusing primarily on his recent life experiences and conversations with his family about leaving 30 rock to pursue music (pretty deep shit)

...which runs into the next Gambino production "One Up" where we finally hear Steve G Lover (Steve Glover - Donald's younger brother) rip the first verse followed by his brother to finish up the track with some pretty dope punchlines...Meanwhile, the next couple few tracks take us into a deeper perspective of Childish Gambino's newly acquired rapper status and the material objects that come along with it in both Boi-1da (Drake's producer) assisted "Black Faces" and "Unnecessary"


Overall...we see a display of skills from Donald Glover that has gone from "childish" to a more mature flow supported by better production and developed lyrics. "Royalty" serves its intentional purpose as a well crafted mixtape for the fans to enjoy as we anxiously look forward to his next piece of work.

Subject Matter: 3
Lyrics: 3
Flow: 4
Production: 4

Overall: 3.5/5 Mics. Dope.
