It’s been a longtime friends, I know. I made a lot of promises that I didn’t follow through with as far as this blog is concerned and for that I deserve any criticism you throw at me. The fact is life and college distorted my ambitions for good ol’ Tri-emm. That being said I’d like to redirect the focus of the blog to topics centering around my favorite of the three topics I talk about on this page, manga. With that I’ll also be retitling this site Otaku Nauts. Why you might ask? Cause keeping up with one facet of media is easier than keeping up with three. I’m just being UHNust. So starting this Wednesday I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the newest manga with you. See you guys soon!!
Though the subject matter may be a bit stomach turning to some, (particularly the first two verses) it's hard to deny the fact that the soulful piano combined with a catchy sample give off that perfect mellow vibe and make this song something you'll likely have on repeat while studying or just trying to relax after a long day of class or work.
Though wale and J. Cole do rip the first verse of this song; the real star here is Curren$y. Much to my surprise, Curren$y delivered what could only be described as a lazy yet still rhythmic and consistent flow that improves on what is already decent song.
To be honest, for a while i thought of Curren$y as just another face in the already over saturated southern rap industry (albeit one with impressive producers backing it) but after hearing this he may have a new fan in this reporter. Take a listen for yourselves.
Well I couldn't stay away for too long. After a long and some what interesting summer I've finally returned to my true loves: Movies, Music, and Manga.
Even through the occasional eventfulness of this past summer, from time to time I couldn't help but think that my few friends who are either music lovers, movie buffs, or Otaku fan boys/girls might be missing out on some of the latest news and releases due to the fact that I took a sudden yet predictable hiatus. Fortunately, I've returned, and I haven't done so empty handed.
The following will be a fairly detailed list of updates and announcements for this new year:
Manga: My first lady (momma manga) will now be the central focus of Tri-Emm. This doesn't mean that by any means am I abandoning music or movie reviews but I'd much rather pour the majority of my focus into the thing I love the most (which also happens to be the main thing my viewers come to me for).
That being said, I'm sure many of you are likely wondering whats been going on in the worlds of your favorite manga. Fortunately, this Friday I'll be giving you guys some detailed summaries to bring you up to speed in the worlds of Naruto, Soul Eater, and Bleach (which I've decided to bring back to Tri-Emm for the sake of you fans).
Music: Now I know I said the music portion of Tri-Emm will be down played but that's not to say I that it'll drop at all in quality (as a matter of fact since i am compressing the music focus of this page I'll have more room to be more thoughtful and insightful in my music posts).
My music posts will now revolve around a segment titled "You Ought 2 Listen". In this section I'll hopefully be able to expose my viewers to artists in rock, R&b, and rap who I feel are talented yet given little exposure and often looked over.
lastly I'll be restocking my music player with new tracks so those of you that have grown a bit sick of the current line up, fear not. You'll be able to enjoy the fruits of my summer music treasure hunt very soon.
Movies: I noticed something while reviewing films. people aren't fans of luke warm reviews. Now when i say luke warm i mean reviews that aren't either extremely negative or overwhelmingly positive but rather just ho-hum and passable. For this reason, I've decided to devote the movies portion of Tri-Emm to a segment called black and white reviews. Once during each quarter of the year I'll be doing this segment in which I review the most entertaining films(white)and the complete dog sh** films(black) of that quarter. I've yet to decide whether or not these will be written reviews or video reviews but since the summer session is coming to a close, you'll know very soon.
Any updates or changes I'll be making that I haven't mention here, I'll be sure to make you guys aware of as they occur. Hopefully this year will be a good one and whenever you guys need your fix of movies, music, or manga I hope you'll come to me.
I know I'm a little late posting this one up but after seeing it about a minute ago on MTV I had to give it the Tri-Emm treatment; especially after my original post about this song about a month back:
Sadly this isn't the version of the song that featured Eminem but the video is still pretty impressive. The theme of this song is basically going back to an artists up-in-coming days prior to the so called lavish life of fame and fortune.
It's likely because of this theme why the video director chose to depict Singer Hayley Williams singing within still photographs during the chorus. Ultimately, this choice was a good one because, as mentioned before, it reiterates the central theme of the song making it more palpable to those who may not have been able to grasp it before.
Unfortunately, this week the Naruto manga series is taking break from it's normal weekly release deciding instead to unveil the 500th chapter of Naruto next week.
Fortunately, for you fans out there, we aren't left completely deprived in a week absent our favorite blond haired Track suite wearing ninja.
The release of Naruto Shippuden episodes will continue on schedule and because i do value those of you whom actually read my posts, I'm bringing you the following episode a week earlier than it's normal American release.
Enjoy: http://www.thenarutoshippuuden.com/naruto-shippuuden-episode-166/
I've watched it myself not long ago and it's really impressive. Compared to the manga chapter that it's based on there's a lot more emotional impact leading up to the episode's climax. The art and animation also get a significant boost compared to other episodes as characters move and fight with far more fluidity. Definitively check this one out because to be honest it may be the best episode I've seen since Sasuke duked it out with Killer Bee.
Last week we explored how Minato Namikaze(the Fourth Hokage) and Kushina Uzumaki( Naruto's mother) met and eventually fell in love with each other.
This week we get to see Naruto's reaction to the revelations brought forth to him by his mother and after reading this chapter, the only word that comes to mind is "wow!"
The feeling of watching Naruto go at it with the fox one last time for me can only be likened to watching Goku ascend to his Super Saiyan form for the first time.
Enough of me talking though. witness for yourselves the awesomeness:

A while back i saw an update on my face book home that had a link that led to a page on that good 'ol social networking dinosaur, myspace. Now on this page was a number of tracks from Travie McCoy's latest album "Lazarus."
I initially loved a lot of the songs on there but there was one song that stood out in particular. This song was titled "The Manuel." the song had interesting lyrics, most notably the chorus which went "I'm just trying to be who you say you are, but who are you? I'm just trying to be who you say are the stars and who is cool, but who am I??" These lyrics tugged at my only recently subsiding teen angst to the point that i found myself humming the tune at inappropriate times (church, libraries, the line at the food court,...etc)
More to the point though, a video for the song "The Manuel" has been recently released and though it certainly isn't the finest peace of cinematography I've seen by any means, it's cool to see the album is getting attention to the point that videos are being so rapidly released.....
Anyhow, enjoy the video and don't be shy in telling me what you guys think
