Return Of Dragon

Defsoul

Really amazing piece of absolute garbage. I expected a lot better, mainly good quality rap/hip-hop, judging from the hype. Instead, Return Of Dragon is a bloated collection of “e-rap.” “E” as in “ELEVATOR.” Yawn, yawn, yawn. This scrawny little turd mewls his way though twelve – TWELVE – boring songs about “relationship issues,” and some other stuff; apparently Mr. Sisqo is from Baltimore, Maryland, and because he is who he is, demands respect. Great, but dude, you forgot to add the beats.

And by the way, re: the enhanced CD – “Sorry not compatible with Macintosh systems,” well, Mr. Sisqo, it’s not compatible with me.

Don’t let the stats fool you. Zyzzyx Road may have been the lowest grossing movie in history, but is it worth checking out? Phil Bailey explores the new 4K UHD from Dark Arts Entertainment.
