More About Nothing: WALE Mixtape →
Recommended to me by a friend, and after listening to it I’m digging the Seinfeld theme as well as other clips, like one from the Maury show lol. “YOU ARE…..NOT THE FATHER!” Definitely an interesting and creative way to mix music and TV and have it be relevant to the song. Kudos to you WALE! Take a listen and see if you like.
Enjoy!

You Don't Get It
I’m so frustrated because you don’t seem to get it. You’re so concerned with yourself that you can’t see that something is wrong. Do you know what I’ve been through? Do you know the things I’ve had to go about alone? No, you don’t. But you’re quick to judge, to point the finger and place the blame on me. I can’t open up to you because you...

If your time to you Is worth savin’ Then you better start swimmin’ Or you’ll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin’. Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide...

Le Notti di Cabiria
Equally brilliant in their own right are GoodFellas, Election, Cinema Paradiso, Rear Window, and The Sound of Music. The other movies I’m either not familiar with or haven’t watched. The Exorcist is good in my opinion, but not great.
