This week on Scottscope
Talk Radio, we’ll be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Dr.
Dre’s immortal classic The Chronic! Is it Hip-Hop’s best compilation album ever?
What can be gleaned from its storied legacy?
Is its legendary status overstated?
What effect did the L.A. Riots have during the recording sessions for
the album? Is it more conscious than
people give it credit for? Does Dre get
too much credit in regards to the groundbreaking production work? Have the contributions of Warren G, Colin
Wolfe, Daz, and Cold 187um gone unrecognized?
Will Detox ever come out? Even if it does, can it hope to match or
exceed The Chronic in terms of
quality and/or impact?

Amazing Attractions: Man of Steel - Official Trailer #2
The teaser trailer for Man
of Steel left me quite cold. As a
friend humorously observed, it looked more like a Levi’s commercial than an
advertisement for an upcoming Superhero film.
To make matters worse, I am of the minority viewpoint that it’s much too
soon to release another Superman movie, much less one that takes a “dark and
serious” view of the character. Bryan
Singer already attempted something along those lines in 2006 with Superman
Returns. The result was a dreary yet
great looking film which cast portrayed the character as a love struck stalker. That’s hardly the kind of adventure that fans
were expecting. I’m hard pressed to believe
that Zack Snyder could do much better, Christopher Nolan’s involvement
notwithstanding. Such reservations aside, the new trailer for Man of Steel has me rethinking my
initial assumptions.
