it's like you just look at the wackness, ya know?



Watched this one the other night and is worth checking out. 'The Wackness' was released in 2008 and set in 1994, New York. It follows 17 year old 'lonely stoner,' Luke Shapiro in who visits a therapist (Ben Kingsley) to cope with his issues (and sell dope), aswell as having an unhealthy infactuation with a girl who he starts seeing over the summer.

Luke is played by Josh Peck who you might know as Josh of 'Drake and Josh'. Great Show.

I believe Ben Kingsley is the shining light as the therapist, who brings his dry sense of humor to the role.

Soundtrack - Was impressive, as this era of Hip Hop is my favourite.

Tracks include
Can I Kick It? - A Tribe Called Quest
Bump N' Grind- R. Kelly
Just A Friend - Biz Markie

Overall 7/10.

What am I listening to?


Released back in 07' 'The Cool' is a great album from Lupe, probably the 100th time I have listened to it. Tracks 'Hip Hop Saved My Life' and 'Streets on Fire' are my favourite on this one.

He combines his fresh steez aswell as mad flow to be one charismatic cool guy.
