Action Bronson album sequel worth a listen
MUSIC REVIEW
Action Bronson is a rather prolific artist. Since 2011, he's released eight
2011, he's released eight projects and has done numerous guest verses. You'd think that after releasing so much material, some of it would begin to become stale and watered down, but this is not the case — Action Bronson only seems to get better with each project. Bronson looks to continue this success by teaming up with remixer Party Supplies for the sequel to last year's stellar mixtape, "Blue Chips."
The first thing that should be noted about "Blue Chips 2" is that Party Supplies' production is perfect for Bronson. These two artists were clearly meant to work together. Sometimes Bronson seems to get overwhelmed by production, but he and Party Supplies mesh so well that this isn't a problem on "Blue Chips 2," as it was on his last few releases. Throughout "Blue Chips 2," Party Supplies uses many samples,
Throughout "Blue Chips 2", Party Supplies uses any samples, but the song that stands out the
most is "Contemporary Man." Party Supplies has Bronson rapping over samples of '80s pop hits like Phil Collins "Sussudio" and Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer." On paper, this shouldn't work, but they pull it off wonderfully. The beat switches every so often from one '80s classic to another, and Bronson doesn't miss a step.
Bronson's style is intriguing. He doesn't really make songs with distinct concepts and stories. He just raps. He's usually all over the place in his rhymes. One minute he might be talking about eating tacos in a foreign country, the next he's rapping about fixing NBA games. Any other rapper probably couldn't pull this off, but it works for Bronson because he's hilarious. Some of his one-liners will have listeners bursting out in laughter.

Despite its lack of replay value, "Blue Chips 2" is a quality effort. It's worth a listen and it's completely free. They're few things better than quality, free music.

away from the replay value in many of Bronson's projects, including "Blue Chips 2." After you've heard it once; there's not much incentive to give it another listen.

We all know those recommendations. The ones that say, "If you liked X, you must like Y." Sometimes they're spot on. Other times? Not so much. In fact, I was perusing the Internet the other day and found an entire post dedicated to the errors Nettlix makes in this practice.
Have no fear, fellow Netflix addicts, for I will now try and correct those errors. In other words, here are some recommendations I believe make actual sense. Note: All of the following shows are available for instant streaming on Netflix.
Neal Street Productions
If you liked "Downton Abbey," try "Call the Midwife."
Some other ideas for those of you who like British TV shows:
Watching "Downton Abbey" is like riding the most extreme, emotional roller coaster. "Call the Midwife" is another British TV drama homerun. Though it doesn't match the Abbey's level of emotional toil, it does have a good mixture of drama, comedic relief and an incredible cast.
Netflix's 'try this' isn't always on the mark
"Merlin," "Doctor Who," "Fawlty Towers" and "Sherlock."
If you liked "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" try "Dollhouse."
Really, as far as similarities go, the only important one is Joss Whedon. One of his less successful endeavors, "Dollhouse" focuses on Echo, a programmable doll who tackles life-threatening situations with different personalities. I believe this show is even better than "Buffy," but I've realized that I'm on the unpopular side of that argument most of the time.
If you like TV dramas that feature a kickass female lead, you should try: "Once Upon a Time," "Nikita," "Lost Girl" and "Alias."
College Hill Pictures
If you liked "Psych," try "Chuck."
If you're less interested in the kickass female and more into the lovable male, then "Chuck" is where it's at. Chuck and his
loveable personality had quite the following during the show's glory days. Luckily, Netflix just added the entire series. So, go forth, fall in love and learn the ways of this unconventional government employee.
Other shows with loveable male leads: "Archer," "Firefly," "White Collar" and "Better Off Ted."
If you liked "It's Always Sunny in
Philadelphia, "try" Portlandia.
Finally. Straight comelovers, I haven't forgotten you. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is one of those TV shows that, no matter what the occasion, I'll watch while flipping channels because I know it'll make me laugh and won't leave me disappointed. "Portlandia" is very similar — there was never a time that I went through an episode without laughing out loud, sometimes at an embarrassing level.
Broadway Video
Some other wonderful, reliable comedies: "The League," "That '70s Show," "Arrested Development" and "Louie."
