Another Futile Ostentation
A narcissistic outlet to express my opinions on things that matter little in the grand scheme. Meant as a companion piece to the other blog I post to, but whose readers may not have the desire to hear my thoughts on such matters as music, sports, and philosophy.

Verbose music critic attempts a review of grimy-ass, hardcore, crunk music from the streets and comes across like an ass. Worst review ever. Don't get my wrong Crunkjuice ain't a great album by any stretch, but it's just so strange to see it described like this....
