Finally, I got my hands on this wonderful and underrated Martin Scorsese film. I ordered the limited edition from the US, but I never received it because it unfortunately sold out before my order went through. So I’ve really been looking forward to this release so I can finally enjoy it in 4K!

I love spending time with the characters in this film. And honestly, I think Marc Anthony is the only weak link in it. It’s not one of Scorsese’s very best, but definitely one of his most underrated films! I also think the title is absolutely brilliant! I love Nicolas Cage, and the cover art has always fascinated me. It’s great to finally upgrade my 20-year-old DVD!

Going to be a great evening. What do you all think of it?

My favorite album in the World

This album is my absolute favorite album in the whole world. It helped me through a hard time and period in my life, and George’s lyrics made me feel less alone. Confused, humiliated, and lost. I always come back to it. I bought the exclusive vinyl edition when it came out a few years ago, and today my wife came home with a mint copy of the CD, so now my collection is complete. Damn, we’ve smoked a lot of joints and had so many amazing conversations with this album playing in the background.

George only got better with age, and Patience is right on the heels of this album, but I truly believe this is his absolute magnum opus.

What do the rest of you think about Older? And how many versions/editions of the album do you own?

I’ve been listening to a lot of 2000s rap lately and feeling a bit nostalgic. I grew up with hip-hop in the ’90s, but I’ve got a soft spot for 2000s rap. It was fun and more dance-friendly. I’ve been on a Ja Rule binge the past couple of weeks and have to admit, the dude has tons of hits. His first album is really good, but Rule 3:36 and Pain Is Love are nothing to sleep on either. Even his deep cuts are great, like “Down Ass Bitch,” “Never Again,” and “X” with Missy E.

Sure, he’s not the best lyricist at all, but he’s easygoing and fun to listen to.

I’d rather listen to his first three albums than 50 Cent’s albums 2 and 3. Anyway, I just felt like sharing my renewed appreciation for Ja Rule!

What do people think, am I alone in this? Doesn’t he deserve his flowers for giving us timeless, classic dance tracks?
