Deck the Halls (2006)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

Deck the Halls is knit from the same wool as the disastrous Christmas with the Kranks. Ridiculous, pointless, unfunny and filled with lame developments that’ll have you asking countless questions, it takes 93 minutes of your time while offering nothing in return.

In Cloverdale, Massachusetts, self-proclaimed Christmas expert Steve Finch (Matthew Broderick) is preparing for his favourite season when new neighbors move in across the street. Soon, a rivalry forms between Buddy Hall (Danny DeVito) and Steve when the newcomer decides to go all-out with his Christmas lights and build a display you can see from space.

While technically, the film is about Buddy’s attempt to put together the Christmas display to end all Christmas displays while Steve sabotages his efforts, that storyline doesn’t come in for a long, long time. It's the like the film doesn't know what it wants to be about and who should be in the wrong. Buddy and his too-hot-for-him wife Tia (Kristin Chenoweth) immediately make a strange impression upon Steve and his wife, Kelly (Kristin Davis). This makes you think that the Halls are the problem. A few scenes later, it's made clear anyone who calls themselves an expert on Christmas is a bit of a jerk. From there, characters change depending on the scene.

Director John Whitesell's non-comitment to a villain vs. hero story means the film is filled with inconsistencies. We see that Buddy doesn’t have the money needed for a package of Christmas lights that would make Clark Griswald blush. His solution? Steal electricity from across the street. Later on, we see that Buddy is a car salesman superstar that could sell ice at the North Pole. Does he have money, or doesn't he? You think we're building up to something when it’s established that Buddy is the kind of person that doesn’t understand jokes or sarcasm (so much that his ability to sell anything would be questionable), that his twin daughters (played by Sabrina and Kelly Aldridge) are dumb as rocks, that his wife doesn’t know the meaning of “inappropriate”, that Kelly (Kristin Davis) feels like a failure because all she writes are cookbooks composed of pre-existing recipes given slight twists (as opposed to brand new recipes that come out of nowhere?) but then… nothing.

It’s like writers Matt Corman, Chris Ord and Don Rhymer came up with the title and then didn’t know what to do next so they just scribbled a bunch of holiday pratfalls onto a piece of paper. From there, the studio asked the director (responsible for such “gems” as Big Momma’s House 2 & 3, and Holidate) to squeeze this lump of coal until it turned into a diamond. The foreshadowing is as elegant as a fat man sliding down a chimney and the logical holes keep piling up. Buddy’s light show keeps getting bigger and bigger. Obnoxious lights and music are on full blast until 4 in the morning but the only people to have any problems with it are Steve and his wife. Maybe his son for one scene. His daughter played by Alia Shawkat is gone for such long stretches of the picture you practically forget she exists. Later, Buddy's boss scolds him because “his numbers are down”. He’s been there for less than three weeks and on his first day, he sold a car to the boss at sticker price. Which one is it? Is he a selling machine, or incompetent at his job? When it comes time for Steve to complain to the police, he realizes the Sheriff (Gary Chalk) is wearing women’s underwear so he runs away in terror. Why doesn’t just come back to fill in the proper paperwork later? Or is he so triggered, he has no choice but to take the law into his own hands? As we near the mandatory forced sentimentality of the conclusion, displays that would take an entire team a week to put up are done in the blink of an eye. Even if it were possible, what are they being powered by? Magic?

More frustrating than all of these unanswerable questions is knowing you’re wasting your time thinking about them. The people who made Deck the Halls didn’t care. They just looked at their calendar and realized that if they started filming a movie at that time, they’d be done and ready to release it in theaters come November 2006. (December 19, 2021)

Power to the people

GOTTA GIVE US WHAT WE NEED: THE 25 DOPEST POLITICAL RAP SONGS

By Stereo Williams

Published Wed, March 23, 2022 at 10:00 PM EDT

Hip-Hop has always been political.

From the organization of community jams in the Bronx to the topicality of songs like "The Message" and "Problems Of the World," Hip-Hop's soul is forever tied to the kind of commentary that sprung from the streets.

In the late 1980s, the political Hip-Hop of artists like Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions served to reawaken the Black consciousness in mainstream American culture. The rise of Public Enemy announced a new generation of post-civil rights era Black voices, born of economic disenfranchisement and politicized policing of the Reagan era. That ethos has run throughout rap music and Hip-Hop culture in the decades since, and some of the greatest political songs of the past 35 years have come from Hip-Hop artists.

So here are the 25 Dopest political rap songs.

And yeah--you're probably thinking "Waitaminute, if this is supposed to be the TWENTY-FIVE Dopest Political Rap Songs, why are there TWENTY-SIX listed?"

Because we can do what the fuck we want. Fight the power.

#26

"AH YEAH" - KRS-ONE

One of the most incendiary tracks in a catalog that's about as unapologetic as it gets, KRS delivers this firebomb on his classic sophomore solo album, calling out white supremacy and racism on one of his most bombastic anthems.

#25

"REAGAN" - KILLER MIKE

Dissecting Iran Contra and the influx of drugs into America's inner cities in the 1980s, Mike blasts the 40th President of the United States, explaining how his administration's policies ripped apart Black communities and the effects would ripple out for generations.

#24

"12 PROBLEMS" - RAPSODY

Over Don Cannon and Cubeatz's production, the rhymer out of North Carolina delivers social commentary in the age of Black Lives Matter and Donald Trump; focusing her personal frustrations at police brutality, the prison industrial complex, and the War on Drugs.

#23

"STOP THE VIOLENCE" - BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

The song that kicked off KRS-One’s Stop the Violence campaign, promoting peace and harmony in the hip-hop community. The campaign was kicked off after a fan was shot and killed outside of a Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy show. The track encourages listeners to change the narrative of hip-hop and street culture by putting an end to the violence, staying true to KRS-One’s ethos of positivity and black empowerment.

#22

"NATURE OF THE THREAT" - RAS KASS

Ras Kass delivers an Afrocentric telling of history via this notorious track from his debut album, "Soul On Ice." Quibbles about accuracy persist, as the Cali emcee establishes himself as a wordsmith of the top order, breaking down everything from religion to war. A song that undoubtedly has sparked countless stoned in debates in HBCU dorm rooms across America.

#21

"BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN" - PUBLIC ENEMY FEAT. ICE CUBE, BIG DADDY KANE

Chuck, Kane and Cube take aim and fire at Tinseltown and its depiction of Black people. Endorsing Black filmmakers like Spike Lee while bodyslamming Oscar fodder like "Driving Miss Daisy," it was the perfect middle finger to the way the big screen has exploited Blackness.

#20

"REVOLUTION" - ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

The Atlanta-based collective was one of the hottest acts in music when they were tapped to deliver this track for the soundtrack to Spike Lee's "Malcolm X." The song became an anthem.

#19

"B.I.B.L.E." - GZA W/KILLAH PRIEST

Essentially a showcase for Priest placed at the end of GZA's epic "Liquid Swords" albums, it finds Priest kicking knowledge of self and celebrating how wisdom has helped reach an elevated spiritual place as a man as he picks apart Christianity.

#18

"MOSH" - EMINEM

Em's most famously topical track is him squaring off against George W. Bush and the much-ballyhooed "War On Terror" of the early 2000s. The slow burn of the production gives Em plenty of space to air out his feelings on Dubya's legacy.

#17

"I WANNA KILL SAM" - ICE CUBE

Cube has no shortage of topical tracks but one of his most incendiary is this assault on the American military. Delivered with the specter of Operation: Desert Storm and "Be All You Can Be" ads, Cube criticizes the exploitative way the U.S. military recruits in the hood.

#16

"SHAKIYLA" - POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS

The Five Percenter-influenced Jersey crew tackled a number of hard-hitting issues, from black economic empowerment to religion, in their underrated catalog. Here, Wise Intelligent, Culture Freedom and Father Shaheed address misogyny, street harassment and disrespect of the Black woman.

#15

"A SONG FOR ASSATA" - COMMON FEAT. CEE-LO

Sure, the song from his critically-acclaimed 2000 album "Like Water For Chocolate" was very on the nose and maybe a little book report-ish but you can’t really diss a song that gives a history lesson about the activist hero, Assata Shakur.

#14

"WICKED" - ICE CUBE

The smoke of the L.A. riots was still fresh in everyone's minds when Cube dropped this incendiary single from 1992s "The Predator." Cube makes it clear where he stands on things: "April 21st was power to the people. And we might just see a sequel."

#13

"LIVE AT THE O.M.N.I." - GOODIE MOB

The Good Die Mostly Over Bullshit. The ATL foursome get raw and real about Black power on this, another gem from their debut album, "Soul Food," “...O.M.N.I.” is Goodie doing what they do best, dissecting racist systems with perceptiveness and relatability.

#12

"MATHEMATICS" - MOS DEF

The BK spitter earned his reputation as one of the illest emcees of all time. On this classic from his flawless debut album "Black On Both Sides," Yasiin Bey breaks down the math for those who ain't wise to it.

#11

"DANCE WITH THE DEVIL" - IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE

On his most infamous song, the lyrical assassin delivers a harrowing story rap; one that serves as a metaphorical dissection for the degradation of society's morals and the embrace of evil.

#10

"FIRE & EARTH" - X-CLAN

Brother J, Professor X and the crew may have delivered their most radio-friendly single, but X-Clan still doesn't flinch in their takedown of Eurocentricity, white supremacy, and even self-proclaimed "humanist" KRS-One.

"THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT" - PARIS

His Bay Area bonafides are evident, as Paris has been dubbed "The Black Panther of Hip-Hop" for a reason. The most famous is probably this classic single, a song so political incendiary that it got the fiery rapper banned from Black Entertainment Television.

"THE BLACKER THE BERRY" - KENDRICK LAMAR

An anthem for the Black Lives Matter era, K. Dot explodes on this standout track from his critically-acclaimed classic "To Pimp A Butterfly." His focused fire is aimed at the police and at the systemic racism in which Western society was forged. As he also goes off on gangs and crime, the Compton product reminds everyone that he's all-too-human and conflicted, as well.

"HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME" - 2PAC

Recorded following the 1992 L.A. riots, you can hear Pac’s rage on this banger from his second album, 1993’s "Strictly From My N.I.G.G.A.Z" when he raps: “To my brothers on the block better stay strapped, black/And accept no substitutes/I bring truth to the youth tear the roof off the whole school/Oh no, I won't turn the other cheek/In case ya can't see, that's why we burned the other week..."

"CELL THERAPY" - GOODIE MOB

The lead single from their debut album, "Soul Food," “Cell Therapy” served as a blaring marker for Goodie’s arrival. Organized Noize’s distinctive, muddy and sinister production was on full display here, as was the grimy, keenly observant lyricism that Goodie Mob became known for. That piano line is beyond iconic.

"LADIES FIRST" - QUEEN LATIFAH FEAT. MONIE LOVE

From Day One, Queen Latifah has addressed misogyny in Hip-Hop. On this standout single from her classic debut "All Hail The Queen," the Jersey star (and U.K. transplant Monie) makes it plain that history proves that Black women are to be respected and honored.

"SOUND OF DA POLICE" - KRS-ONE

Unfortunately, this track is just as relevant today as it was the day of the release decades ago. In this song KRS One addresses police brutality toward the black community, linking the days of slavery to the way police acts in these modern times. Comparing overseers to police officers, everyone should be scared of the sounds of the police.

"HIP-HOP" - DEAD PREZ

stic.man and m1 opened the new millennium with this anthem that reminded everyone what Hip-Hop's heart is supposed to be. Delivered at the height of the rap game's flossiest era, it was a manifesto for maintaining integrity in the face of superficial shine.

"F*CK THE POLICE" - N.W.A.

They didn't try to soften it. They didn't try to smooth it out. Eazy, Dre, Ren, Yella and Ice Cube just went there. Before Rodney King. Before "Boyz N the Hood." Before the world had seen a peek at life in South Central L.A., N.W.A. delivered a look at the hood and the reality of police brutality. Their most famous song, this classic cop diss notoriously made the World's Most Dangerous Group a target for the F.B.I.

"FIGHT THE POWER" - PUBLIC ENEMY

It's the epitome of Hip-Hop's focused anger. The theme song for Spike Lee's classic "Do The Right Thing," Chuck D and Flavor Flav's epic single crystallized a generation's righteous rage and became the quintessential anthem for rap's political ethos. The opening salvo, the iconic music video, the infamous Elvis Presley body slam--it all contributes to what would ultimately become regarded as one of the greatest songs of all time.

Roixmr > Rhymer. She does music... and Chixie contracts Dixie Chicks (like Joan Jett for Daraya)... both of those possibilities are mentioned on the wiki (I checked because I have a bad habit of assuming what's new to me is new to everyone), all good.

So... with a stand out moment from the route being Chixie donning a mask and telling highbloods to eat her bulge, I sort of wonder if girls being named after famous performers supplements the association of girls with roleplay from Homestuck proper, as parcel to the planet-wide trans subtext. There's also a crude pun to be made upon "Dixie Chicks", which helps

Though one form of pushback would be that having Chixie wear a mask when she raps (with the shift away from country music encoded as white > black?) signals the adoption of masculinity, such that Chixie's reference to her bulge is (represented as) rhetorical? So both cardinalities of gender non-conformity would be represented simultaneously...

the Armagh Rhymers peforming for Washington DC's Library of Congress.

From the video's description:

"The Armagh Rhymers are one of the most celebrated traditional music and theatre ensembles on the island of Ireland. Since a group of talented actors and musicians founded the Rhymers in the 1970s, they have delighted audiences at festivals, arts centers, theatres, and schools, throughout Ireland and around the world. Through music, storytelling and drama, they provide an experience that is entertaining, educational and cultural. Their colorful costumes evoke a sense of tradition and history and encapsulate the spirit of the “wren boys,” young people who donned traditional disguises and went from house to house, entertaining their neighbors. In these ancient house-visiting traditions of Ireland, the kitchen floor became the stage. The Rhyming tradition is a form of folk drama, often called “the theatre of the people.” The Armagh Rhymers draw on the rich history of this traditional Irish culture, which has inspired generations of poets such as Seamus Heaney, Brendan Kennelly, John Montague, John Hewitt, Michael Longley, and Patrick Kavanagh."

Thomas the Rhymer

Sir Thomas de Ercildoun, más recordado como Thomas el Rimador (fl. c. 1220 - 1298), también conocido como Thomas Learmont o True Thomas, fue un escocés y reputado profeta de Earlston (entonces llamado "Erceldoune") en los Borders. El don de profecía de Thomas está vinculado a su capacidad poética.

En la literatura, aparece como protagonista del cuento sobre Tomás el Rimador llevado por la "Reina de Elflandia" y que regresa habiendo obtenido el don de la profecía, así como la incapacidad de decir una mentira. El cuento sobrevive en un romance medieval en verso en cinco manuscritos, así como en la balada popular "Thomas Rhymer" (balada infantil número 37) El romance aparece como "Thomas off Ersseldoune" en el Manuscrito Lincoln Thornton.

New Release Review: Under Wraps (2021)

Premiering in October of 1997, Under Wraps was the inaugural Disney Channel Original Movie. The wildly popular cornerstone of the network's programming was, along with the likes of ABC's TGIF and Nickelodeon's SNICK, as close to appointment viewing as it got for '90s kids. Perhaps even more importantly, Under Wraps served as a gateway into the horror genre for many millennials. Before the age of streaming, if you didn't independently seek out the horror section at the video store or have a cool older relative to expose you to it, catching a mummy movie on the same channel you watched Disney cartoons and Boy Meets World reruns could have been your first exposure to the macabre.

Disney hopes to recapture the magic with a remake of Under Wraps, which will premiere on the Disney Channel before being made available on Disney+. The original movie was successful - and continues to hold up 24 years later - for several reasons; relatable kid leads, a great Halloween atmosphere, and a sense of humor chief among them. Director/co-writer Alex Zamm (A Christmas Prince, Inspector Gadget 2) and co-writer William Robertson (Inspector Gadget 2) smartly maintain those elements for the new iteration. In fact, all the main beats from Don Rhymer's (Rio, Big Momma's House) original script remain intact.

12-year-olds Marshall (Malachi Barton, Stuck in the Middle) and Gilbert (Christian J. Simon, Sydney to the Max) are best friends despite being diametrically opposed when it comes to horror movies; Marshall can't get enough of them, decorating his entire room with monster masks, toys, and posters, while Gilbert is afraid of his own shadow. When they suspect their creepy neighbor, Kubot (Brent Stait, Andromeda), of stealing an ancient Egyptian mummy, the boys team up with their new classmate, Amy (Sophia Hammons), to sneak into his house and inadvertently bring the artifact back to life.

Like many of fiction's best monsters, the mummy (Phil Wright) - named Harold, in tribute to Marshall's hot sauce-loving grandfather - is not as frightening as he looks; he's merely misunderstood. The kids secretly befriend the lovable oaf, forming a bond similar to The Monster Squad. Upon learning that Harold only wants to be reunited with his love, they help him on his journey. But it's easier said than done, as Kubot and his goons are after him, and they only have until the end of Halloween to return him to his resting place before he turns to dust.

Zamm and Robertson make some minor tweaks, most of which serve to contemporize the story. They play up the fish-out-of-water element with Harold encountering modern amenities like an autonomous vacuum and Siri-esque technology. Zamm also adds welcome diversity to the cast: Marshall is of Hispanic heritage, Gilbert as well as Marshall's mother's boyfriend (Jaime M. Callica, Tales from the Hood 3) are Black, Amy has two fathers, and the resident monster expert in whom the kids confide (Melanie Brook) is a young woman.

In addition to the monster in his life, Marshall faces common adolescent problems like struggling to accept his parents' divorce and conflicts with the school bully. The three child leads are likable and have a natural rapport. Stait, a veteran character actor, chews the scenery appropriately, while Wright utilizes his dance choreographer background to bring the mummy to life. The mummy makeup design, by Joel Echallier (1922, Freaks), is standard but effective, featuring an off-set jaw.

Don't expect any radical changes from Under Wraps to justify its existence; it's more like Disney dug up the film's mummified remains and gave its sarcophagus a fresh coat of paint - and there's nothing wrong with that. It was made for a new generation, and hopefully it helps expose the target audience to the genre in an innocuous way. For a TV movie filmed on a limited budget in Canada during the pandemic, it never feels too cheap (although the third act’s much-hyped Halloween carnival is a tad underwhelming). It never feels dangerous and borders on corny at times, as one might expect from a horror movie for children, but it's a fun a Halloween treat nevertheless.

Under Wraps premieres on October 1 on Disney Channel and on October 8 on Disney+.

The DCOM “Under Wraps” is being remade.

The production is slated to begin in November. Casting has yet to be announced, as does a release date, though it is likely it will be released in time for Halloween in 2021.

The film will be helmed by director Alex Zamm (Inspector Gadget 2, Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2), who co-wrote the screenplay with William Robertson. Zamm and Robertson have updated this screenplay from the original by Don Rhymer.

The synopsis for this new version sounds very similar to the original:

“Friends Marshall, Gilbert, and Amy accidentally revive and release a mummy from its sarcophagus in the days leading up to Halloween. At first terrified, they quickly learn that the Mummy - who they affectionately name “Harold”- is actually very sweet and in dire need of assistance.”

[ARTICLE] RBW CEO shares stories behind MAMAMOO’s debut, reaction to Hwasa’s 2018 MAMA performance, and more

RBW co-CEO Kim Do Hoon gave some insights into the history of MAMAMOO as well as recent events while talking to news outlet Star News.

In the interview, Kim Do Hoon talked about how before MAMAMOO was formed, his goal was to produce artists that would be talented at singing and good at having fun on stage. They then chose artists from their pool of trainees who were ready at the time, and formed a girl group. “I thought that the success rate for groups was higher than that of solo singers, and it was easy to create the group as we’d been training them since the beginning as a group,” he explained.

He shared that there had been nine trainees at the time, and they’d cut the number down through evaluations. He said, “I had an image in my head, and we selected the members while evaluating based on that standard, which is how MAMAMOO was created. Ah, this is something that I’m saying for the first time. To be honest, MAMAMOO was a five-member group instead of a four-member group. They had five members right before their debut, but one member left after saying she’d find another path, so they became a four-member group.”

Kim Do Hoon also talked about the group’s name and debut track “Mr. Ambiguous.” He said, “We did a performance at the after party for Quincy Jones’s concert when he performed in Korea in 2013. The girl group that had five members at the time performed there. I’d just made a song for Quincy Jones, but the song’s name was ‘MAMAMOO.’ After that, one of our agency staff members suggested just using ‘MAMAMOO’ as their group name, and so that’s how their current name was chosen. Also the lyrics in the song ‘MAMAMOO’ were changed to Korean and became their debut track ‘Mr. Ambiguous.'”

youtube

When asked if the process up until debuting MAMAMOO had been smooth, Kim Do Hoon said that it had gone very well, particularly when considering how the members were compatible with each other. “I think that the most important requirement for a singer’s success is their own ability,” he said. “In the case of the members of MAMAMOO, they always exceeded my expectations when they did assignments as trainees.” He shared that while the process was fun, aspects such as the music video filming and styling had been difficult, as he hadn’t had experience in those areas. He added that it must have been hard for the members as well.

Kim Do Hoon was also asked if he had known MAMAMOO would be successful. “I was sure they would be successful,” he replied. “However, people at the company were split half and half. I was sure that they’d do well because they’re very talented and great at music, but there was negativity from people who thought that the standard method of achieving success for idol artists was important.”

He went on to say that MAMAMOO had been planned from the start to be presented as “artists” more so than other idol groups. “They’re clearly a group with an idol format, but since their debut we set out to convey the message to the public that they are ‘people who are good at music,'” he said. “For example, the first single they released was ‘Don’t Be Happy’ with BumKey. Their music video [for ‘Mr. Ambiguous’] included appearances by Don Spike, Baek Ji Young, Jung Joon Young, CNBLUE, Rhymer, and Wheesung. They had the concept that they were ‘musicians made by musicians,’ and we wanted to show that while they’re idols, they’re good at music. So in terms of music as well, in the beginning we used R&B soul rather than typical idol music.”

youtube

Kim Do Hoon credited the success of this concept to MAMAMOO themselves, saying that no matter how well a company plans something, it only works if the idols are able to pull it off. He also shared that they ask for MAMAMOO’s opinions a lot, including aspects such as their album jacket design, and that communication with the group members is essential. He added, “However, the members are so busy lately that we don’t talk as much as we used to. I don’t make decisions about clothing or hair now. When the album is decided upon, the MAMAMOO members and stylists make decisions to fit that.”

When MAMAMOO performed at the 2018 Mnet Asian Music Awards in December, Hwasa’s performance and outfit became a hot topic. Kim Do Hoon was asked if he hadn’t know about Hwasa’s outfit beforehand.

Kim Do Hoon replied, “To be honest, I was surprised when I watched the performance. I thought ‘Oh, it’s a bit short,’ but I trust the MAMAMOO members. The stylist team and the members work well together, and I think that it’s right for them to choose the outfits when they’re the people who are wearing them. It’s an outfit that they have to wear themselves on stage, so wouldn’t they care more than someone else?”

The interviewer mentioned that while there were many surprised reactions, there were just as many people who liked it. Kim Do Hoon said, “If Hwasa wasn’t playing the role of singer and had just worn that because she wanted to stand out, she would have been criticized greatly. However, she’s someone who’s good at both singing and performing, so I think they looked upon it in a good light. To be honest, Hwasa is someone who used to wear net stockings when she was doing evaluations as a trainee. So that kind of side of her was natural for us. I think it’s good because she’s now showing her own self bit by bit. I welcome that the members are showing their personalities.”

Recently, MAMAMOO fans expressed concerns about the members’ hectic schedule and asked for their concert to be moved to a later date. Although RBW initially stated that the concert would have to go ahead as planned, fans announced a boycott. The agency conducted a fan vote, and in the end the concert was postponed.

When asked about this, Kim Do Hoon said, “Firstly, I want to apologize to the fans. It was clearly my mistake for creating a situation in which the fans could misunderstand. Communication with fans is just as important as communication with the artists, but we were lacking. I’m reflecting on it. I’ll monitor more thoroughly in the future, and take fans’ opinions into consideration when making plans.”

MAMAMOO debuted in June 2014 with “Mr. Ambiguous,” and most recently made a comeback last November with their eighth mini album “BLUE;S” and the title track “Wind Flower.”

The Best of the 1st Half -*2019 Pundit’s PlayLi$t*

Yeah so quite a bit has gone down since the ball dropped.

Everyone talks about how having a baby can change a person, but in my opinion it doesn’t change a person as much as it evolves a person into someone that can still love all of the stuff they always loved, *plus* a little person that they now put before anything else in their day to day life. My friends, that is where I am at in this moment in life. No, I do not write as much as I used to, but I’m happier now than have been in some time, and I love music just as much as I ever did. I am still learning the balance, but I’m also pretty excited to have a little daughter that I will be able to share my highly opinionated thoughts on hip-hop with, whether she wants to hear them or not (most likely not).

These rankings are based on the following key factors: my personal favorites (this is technically not just a list of my favorite songs), plus songs that I thought were especially well done or influential (even if they may not have resonated me as much as everyone else), diverse (I didn’t want to have 10 songs from the same artist, but I would have if I was only basing this list on personal faves), especially strong production and/or verses, and the song had to be officially released prior to July 1st.

As for the year in rap music in general up through the close of June, it has been a strong one. What the genre has lacked in strong “mainstream” releases, it has made up for with enough fantastic underground hip-hop projects that belong in steady rotation for a long time. So here it is, at last, my list of the best rap songs of the first half of 2019… 🙏

1. “Palmolive” - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib feat. Pusha T & Killer Mike

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSn_r2w-idg

(Bandana is quite an album, and “Palmolive” is quite a song. One terrific verse from Freddie, a great hook from Killer Mike, and then a verse of the year front runner with Pusha’s verse, all over a soulful Madlib back-drop?? Yikes. Freddie Gibbs & Madlib have made all rap fans very proud in 2019.)

2. “Thank God” - Tree

https://soundcloud.com/mctreeg/thank-god?in=mctreeg/sets/wegrownnow

(Tree’s We Grown Now is such an amazing album. I can’t recall the last time I heard a project that felt like a living, breathing work of art that logs the life of a man that has been through life’s ups and downs and is just happy to be here to talk about it.)

3. “Crown For Kings” - Benny feat. Black Thought

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtTu_TC3f6A

(Blown away. Black Thought and Griselda?? Bars on top of bars on top of bars...two verse of the year contenders, easily.)

4. “Ricky” - Denzel Curry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WHm6tfvKlk

(As soon as you press play, you can feel the humidity coming off of this song as if we were in the crowd with Curry down in Florida. A wonderful homage to his father, and the Carol City of which he hails.)

5. “Massage Seats” - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib

https://soundcloud.com/gangstagibbs/massage-seats?in=gangstagibbs/sets/bandana-16

(Smooth as Helllll. “This ain’t for soccer mamas this is for the underground” is right.)

6. “Funeral March (The Dirge)” - Your Old Droog feat. Mach-Hommy

https://soundcloud.com/your-old-droog/funeral-march-the-dirge-feat?in=your-old-droog/sets/it-wasnt-even-close-1

(One of the hardest sounding songs in recent memory. I can hear these too aggressive rhymers do this all day.)

7. “Crime Pays” - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib

https://soundcloud.com/gangstagibbs/crime-pays?in=gangstagibbs/sets/bandana-16

(So quintessential to Bandana’s vibe this thing feels like it has a pulse. I was listening to this on my walk home the other day and it put me in such a breezy headspace, I can’t even describe it any other way than simply saying it’s another classic Madlib production.)

8. “5 to 50” - Benny feat. India

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQGRPxrHtjI

(Captivating. Benny and The Alchemist join forces to concoct a song so real it makes 90% of drug dealer talk in rap music sound phony.)

9. “There U R” - Tree

https://soundcloud.com/mctreeg/there-u-r?in=mctreeg/sets/wegrownnow

(Give this man his flowers now. There are a lot of talented artists in rap music, but none tackle a song like an old Blues man...none except Tree, that is.)

10. “Freestyle Shit” - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib

https://soundcloud.com/gangstagibbs/freestyle-s-t?in=gangstagibbs/sets/bandana-16

(Pffffew, that Gibbs delivery....right from the get-go on the album’s first song it’s so clear that Bandana is a special project.)

11. “Sunday School” - Benny feat. 38 Spesh & Jadakiss

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ero1Xexyhs

(Good luck picking the best verse here! All three kill it, but Spesh may end up pulling ahead with a few key haymakers.)

12. “Situations” - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib

https://soundcloud.com/gangstagibbs/situations?in=gangstagibbs/sets/bandana-16

(One of Bandana’s more minimalistic instrumentals, and it takes off thanks to the jet pack provided by Gibbs’ absolutely sensational contributions on this one.)

13. “Cokewhite” - Goldlink feat. Pusha T

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zCGiHhTxMM

(One of a few verse of the year contenders from King Push.)

14. “Funeral” - Tree & Parallel Thought

https://parallelthought1.bandcamp.com/track/funeral

(I hope with all of my heart that songs like this aren’t part of Tree’s process of letting go of the music biz, but even if it is, what a beautiful way to go out.)

15. “Bandana” - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib feat. Assassin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWCciqqzno4

(While it may not have made the final cut of the Bandana album that shares it’s name, this reggae-tinged Madlib blessed riot starter has been one of my favorite songs of the year since it dropped and it keeps feeling better to me.)

16. “Flights” - Tree

https://soundcloud.com/mctreeg/flights?in=mctreeg/sets/wegrownnow

(Tree kills it with the autobiographical joints, and this soulful walk down memory lane is as enthralling as an audio diary.)

17. “To Whom It May Concern” - Jim Jones feat. Cam'ron, Guordan Banks, Benny The Butcher and Conway

https://soundcloud.com/jim-jones-capo/to-whom-it-may-concern-feat-camron-guordon-banks-benny-the-butcher-conway-the-machine?in=jim-jones-capo/sets/el-capo

(A Dipset and Griselda collaboration is enough to make someone like me get emotional...anyone have a tissue, this Benny-Cam’ron-Conway back to back series is too much to handle!?)

18. “Dominate” - DJ Muggs & Eto

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxjTKqpMHIE

(Straight menace music. Muggs & Eto would have made Mobb Deep proud with “Dominate”...especially Muggs, this beat is brutal!)

19. “Under The Train (Transporting)” - Your Old Droog

https://soundcloud.com/your-old-droog/under-the-train-transporting-1

(Droog’s Transportation album may be the perfect travelling companion for moving through the streets of NYC, and this song may be the crown jewel. This has the feel of a classic New York anthem and I am crazy for it.)

20. “Obamacare” - Quelle Chris

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-F19d5PcJY

(Another year, another thought provoking Quelle Chris project. He seems to be getting better with age, is that possible?)

21. “Attics” - DJ Muggs & Eto

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UmYxcv4YTs

(Sure Muggs & Eto dropped a banger of an album with Hell’s Roof, .but “Attics” has the strength to be a career defining track for Eto. This is dark poetry from the hungriest parts of upstate NY.)

22. “ZUU” - Denzel Curry

https://soundcloud.com/denzelcurryph/zuu?in=denzelcurryph/sets/zuu-3

(A rousing intro to what I would consider the best “mainstream” rap album of 2019 so far.)

23. “Chasing Ghosts” - Your Old Droog feat. Roc Marciano

https://soundcloud.com/your-old-droog/chasing-ghosts-feat-roc?in=your-old-droog/sets/it-wasnt-even-close-1

(What a great example of why these two are so good at what they do. Eerie underground hip-hop at its’ finest.)

24. “Giannis” - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib feat. Anderson .Paak

https://soundcloud.com/gangstagibbs/giannis-feat-anderson-paak?in=gangstagibbs/sets/bandana-16

(One of the funkier standouts from Bandana, and album full of standouts. Paak and Gibbs tap dance all over this one.)

25. “18 Wheeler” - Benny feat. Pusha T

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdZC8uBwJ4Q&list=PLVipAi3U-JouPCQvz3KoH2B1VAKAZc7m4&index=6

(At this point, what else needs to be said about the potency of these two rap-writers? Calling it “coke rap” wouldn’t even begin to explain how good these two are when it comes to rapping.)

26. “Cubicle” - Buddy feat. 03 Greedo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ9Yw7i_Fo8

(What a slept-on smash from Buddy and 03 Greedo. Both artists do the West Coast proud with one of my favorite cuts off of the deluxe edition of Harlan & Alondra.)

27. “AUTOMATIC” - Denzel Curry

https://soundcloud.com/denzelcurryph/automatic?in=denzelcurryph/sets/zuu-3

(Denzel Curry and Tay Keith prove to be a potent combination on this ZUU banger.)

28. “IMG” - Nolan The Ninja

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vNvRLIQHVs

(Nolan has blessed us with a number of great songs in 2019, but I think this one epitomizes just how much he has progressed as a rap artist.)

29. “Make No Issues Of It” - Jim Jones

https://soundcloud.com/jim-jones-capo/make-no-issues-of-it?in=jim-jones-capo/sets/el-capo

(Jimmy did his thing...but Heatmakerz kicks the damn door down.)

30. “Splinters” - Fly Anakin & Tuamie feat. ANKHLEJOHN & Al.Divino

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWORdUQAEcc

(Just a chilling collaboration from some of the best artists that underground hip-hop has to offer, that’s all.)

31. “Deadass” - Kemba

https://soundcloud.com/kembaland/deadass-2

(Unfortunately, in any other era this should have been a huge rap hit. Fortunately, in this era it can be praised as one of the best underground smashes of the year.)

32. “Wild Minks” - Quelle Chris feat. Mach-Hommy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dQmPX1C0Vk

(Quelle and Mach make beautiful music together, and they don’t come much more beautiful than this one.)

33. “Education” - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib feat. Yasiin Bey & Black Thought

https://soundcloud.com/gangstagibbs/education-feat-yasiin-bey?in=gangstagibbs/sets/bandana-16

(As if that line-up isn’t enough to make any hip-hop head salivate, what’s even more impressive is the final product manages to meet expectations.)

34. “Dynasties” - Tedy Andreas

https://soundcloud.com/tedyandreas/dynasties-prod-graphwize

(Dope beat, dope MC and a killer hook. I can’t be the only longterm fan that Tedy earned with this one.)

35. “Flat Tummy Tea” - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib

https://soundcloud.com/gangstagibbs/flat-tummy-tea

(I liked it when it first dropped, love it even more now. Freddie straight MURDERS this one...)

36. “Eedeot Bwoy” - Mach-Hommy feat. Your Old Droog & Tha God Fahim

https://soundcloud.com/mach-hommy/eedeot-bwoy-feat-tha-god-fahim?in=mach-hommy/sets/wap-konn-joj-1

(What a great year for both Mach & Droog. This joint feels like 3:00AM Wake Up Show music...and I love that!)

37. “2016” - Jamal Gasol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxEBzhV6Ar4

(True Stories is quite possibly my favorite project from Gasol’s impressive discography, and this one has been in my rotation for all of 2019 thus far. Jamal is another one of upstate New York’s gem MCs, so if you’re a fan of Benny and Griselda, definitely check out Niagara’s Jamal Gasol.)

38. “Field Negro” - Royce Da 5′9″

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yDmU881LTo

(An unorthodox production anchored by one of the best writers in the history of the genre, that’s all. Royce murders this thing with so many quotables...yet you’re still somehow sleeping on Royce???)

39. “Know The Type” - Lansky Jones feat. CJ Fly & Mr. Muthafuckin' Exquire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riRJk2QiROI

(What happens when a collection of some of NYC’s most talented, but least heralded MC’s join forces to deliver what sounds like a classic mid-90′s throwback joint? They create one of the smoothest rap songs of 2019.)

40. “Spider Hole” - Billy Woods & Kenny Segal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1WBEi5LlkI

(Beautifully bleak music from Billy Woods and Kenny Segal, who demonstrate brilliant chemistry throughout Hiding Places.)

41. “Bad Boys” - Pivot Gang (Joseph Chilliams, Saba, MFnMelo) feat. Smino

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCaBVqi4Rag

(This one didn’t blow up - at least not yet - but I have no idea why!? This track, like so much of Pivot Gang’s You Can’t Sit With Us album, is such a fantastic showcase for Chi-town’s deep hip-hop scene.)

42. “Last Supper” - Eto & DJ Muggs feat. Meyhem Lauren

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCc47fVzptU

(A dope song from a dope album, sure...but it’s that Meyhem verse that catapults this joint into the top 50 of the year through June. “I don’t have kids just clothes, cars & cribs” is easily one of the year’s best opening bars!)

43. “$ream - Rigz (Da Cloth)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piGwjW27ZRQ

(Not just one of Rochester’s finest, Rigz is quite simply one of hip-hop’s finest MC’s.)

44. “HolOnHolOn” - Fly Anakin & Tuamie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCbgGn2BXUc&list=PLAfLqY9BQJkyjUuDAEn7cehQ3DZWAZogX&index=4

(Another GORGEOUS track from Mutant Academy. Is it me or does Tuamie channel some Jay Dee-esque vibes with this one?)

45. “Jason Statham, Pt. 2” - Pivot Gang (Joseph Chilliams, Saba, MFnMelo)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy57oefUZXg

(A very dope song from a very dope album. Pivot Gang’s project deserved all of the attention that Revenge of the Dreamers received, and then some. This is Chicago all-star work.)

46. “CAROLMART” - Denzel Curry feat. Ice Billion Berg

https://soundcloud.com/denzelcurryph/carolmart-feat-ice-billion?in=denzelcurryph/sets/zuu-3

(One of the bounciest joints on a very bouncy album, here Denzel successfully harkens back to the regional style that influenced him without sounding even the slightest bit dated.)

47. “Down” - JID, Bas, J. Cole, EARTHGANG & Young Nudy (Dreamville)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibvxfN7G6Gs

(The names in this line-up were enough to keep the hype building for Revenge of the Dreamers 3. However, it’s the performance of the artists on the track that have kept it in heavy rotation over here.)

48. “207” - Your Old Droog

https://soundcloud.com/your-old-droog/207-1

(Weaving funny lyrics with poignant observations has always been one of Your Old Droog’s specialties. By tackling personal topics such as agoraphobia and his general anti-social behavior Droog is able to elevate this song to stand-out status.)

49. “Only Built For Corrilinks” - Quadry & Tuamie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZXufjWO1E4

(Travelling waaaay under the radar is Baton Rouge’s Quadry, who dropped a stellar project helmed by rising underground producer extraordinaire, Tuamie. The duo’s Emergency Raps, Vol. 5 is a quick but impressive listen.)

50. “Oaks” - BULLIES (Denmark Vessey, DrxQuinnx and Azarias)

https://fxckrxp.bandcamp.com/track/oaks

(A criminally underrated project that stands amongst this year’s finest, Denmark, Quinn & Azarias have fantastic musical chemistry that can be found all across the Bullies album. In another time and another place, Bullies would fit in well alongside Def Jux’s starting line-up.)

“Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide. Now, of my threescore years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow.” -A.E. Housman, Loveliest of Trees

Welcome to National Poetry Month!

The Academy of American Poets, inspired by the success of Black History Month and Women’s History Month, created National Poetry Month in 1996. It is the largest literary celebration in the world and UCF Libraries are proud to do their part.

UCF Libraries have gathered suggestions to feature 14 books of poetry that are currently in the UCF collection. These works represent a wide range of favorite poetry books of our faculty and staff.

These, and additional titles, are also on the Featured Bookshelf display on the second (main) floor next to the bank of two elevators where they are joined by a selection of nature poetry.

A Shropshire Lad by A.E. Housman

Housman is a high-water mark of British lyric poetry, and this fine production captures perfectly his strong, melodic beat and decisive rhyme, and his wonderful way with words. Samuel West's cultivated Midlands accent may not be specifically Shropshire, but his voice and reading are true to Housman who was not, after all, some rough Shropshire lad himself but an Oxford don. His Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now and To an Athlete Dying Young are beautifully rendered here. West, you feel, reads poetry as it should be read confidently, with ease and conviction, as if all the world spoke in meter and rhyme.

All the Poems of Stevie Smith by Stevie Smith

Stevie Smith is among the most popular British poets of the twentieth century. Her poem “Not Waving but Drowning” has been widely anthologized, and her life was celebrated in the classic 1978 movie Stevie. This new and updated edition of Stevie Smith’s collected poems includes hundreds of works from her thirty-five-year career. The Smith scholar Will May collects poems and illustrations from published volumes, provides fascinating details about their provenance, and describes the various versions Smith presented. Satirical, mischievous, teasing, disarming, Smith’s poems take readers from comedy to tragedy and back again, while her line drawings are by turns unsettling and beguiling.

Calling a Wolf a Wolf by Kaveh Akbar

This highly-anticipated debut boldly confronts addiction and courses the strenuous path of recovery, beginning in the wilds of the mind. Poems confront craving, control, the constant battle of alcoholism and sobriety, and the questioning of the self and its instincts within the context of this never-ending fight.

Suggested by Sandy Avila, Research & Information Services

Dirt Eaters by Teri Youmans Grimm

The book was born of the consequences of leaving a place and family steeped in the history and traditions of the South. The poet, having moved to the Midwest, has become a sort of expatriate in her father's eyes, and she herself has underestimated the hold that home would have over her. These poems are a mystical journey back through her ancestry. The dead serve as conjurers and characters both real and mythologized throughout the collection--Uncle Seward, who uses dice and the Bible as a means of prophecy; blind Aunt Ater, who finds solace and doom in biblical numbers; an unlucky man facing certain death as he stands on an alligator's back; and women who gorge themselves on dirt--all find their way back to life in these poems. Dirt Eaters seeks grace in the unlikeliest of people and places. Bound up with the peculiar, however, is the poet's own desire to reconcile the handed-down shame and faulty pride within herself as well as the religion of the ecstatic within her own quiet questioning.

Enough Rope by Dorothy Parker

Suggested by Jamie LaMoreaux, Acquisitions & Collections

New & Selected Poems by Stephen Dunn

Stephen Dunn is justly celebrated as one of the strongest poets of his generation. Now in this rich gathering, he selects from his eight collections and includes sixteen new poems marked by the haunting "Snowmass Cycle". The heralded clarity and intelligence of Dunn's poems are in full evidence here, as is his ability to charm and evoke pathos. As ever, wit happily resides with seriousness, affirmation coexists with hardship. "I want to find the cool, precise language / for how passion gives rise to passion," Dunn says in one of the new poems. For two decades, such insistence has led him to a wise lucidity that places him among our consequential poets.

Poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay

One of America's best-loved poets, Edna St Vincent Millay (1892-1950) burst onto the literary scene at a very young age and won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923. Her lyrics and sonnets have thrilled generations of readers long after the notoriously bohemian lifestyle she led in Greenwich Village in the 1920s ceased to shock them.

The Golden Shovel Anthology: new poems honoring Gwendolyn Brooks edited by Peter Kahn, Ravi Shankar, and Patricia Smith

The last words of each line in a Golden Shovel poem are, in order, words from a line or lines taken from a Brooks poem. The poems are, in a way, secretly encoded to enable both a horizontal reading of the new poem and vertical reading down the right-hand margin of Brooks's original. An array of writers, including Pulitzer Prize winners, T. S. Eliot Prize winners, National Book Award winners, and National Poet Laureates, have written poems for this anthology: Rita Dove, Billy Collins, Nikki Giovani, Sharon Olds, Tracy K. Smith, Mark Doty, Sharon Draper, and Julia Glass are just a few of the contributing poets.

The Heart Aroused: poetry and the preservation of the soul in corporate America by David Whyte

In The Heart Aroused, David Whyte brings his unique perspective as poet and consultant to the workplace, showing readers how fulfilling work can be when they face their fears and follow their dreams. Going beneath the surface concerns about products and profits, organization and order, Whyte addresses the needs of the heart and soul, and the fears and desires that many workers keep hidden.

The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, Xiomara Batista has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. She pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers--especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. Mami is determined to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, and Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. When she is invited to join her school's slam poetry club, she can't stop thinking about performing her poems.

The Rain in Portugal by Billy Collins

The Rain in Portugal—a title that admits he’s not much of a rhymer—sheds Collins’s ironic light on such subjects as travel and art, cats and dogs, loneliness and love, beauty and death. A student of the everyday, Collins here contemplates a weather vane, a still life painting, the calendar, and a child lost at a beach. His imaginative fabrications have Shakespeare flying comfortably in first class and Keith Richards supporting the globe on his head. By turns entertaining, engaging, and enlightening, The Rain in Portugal amounts to another chorus of poems from one of the most respected and familiar voices in the world of American poetry.

I remember during new year (?) Rhymer said he gave all 4 boys allowance. Shouldnt Woo Jin and Dae Hwi have their own money as well? They been shopping quite lot so I do think they do have money. How about the agent cut from that income assume at least $1m? Will that money count toward their future debt? Will Daehwi and Woojin receive income and MXM wont or it all start from 0?. If you liked music, she sang beautifully; and few professed musicians had such a touch on the piano as hers. If you preferred talking, I never yet met with the man (or even the woman, which is saying a great deal more) whom her conversation could not charm. To say that such a wife as this could be first cruelly neglected, and then barbarously murdered, by the man no! by the martyr who stands there, is to tell me that the sun never shines at noonday, or that the heaven is not above the earth.. The BMoL offers her a world without demons and monsters. Why would she reject this? It gives her purpose. If it works out, her boys don have to be hunters anymore.. So many Russians bought Trump apartments at his developments in Florida that the area became known as Little Moscow. The developers of two of his hotels were Russians with significant links to the Russian mob. The late leader of that mob in the United States, Vyacheslav Kirillovich Ivankov, was living at the Trump Towers.. A salad with wildflowersCritics of this modern all female world have focused on its inherent paradox. SuperShe is an island created to help fight discrimination but it is itself profoundly discriminatory. When news of the island first spread earlier this year, one critic told CNN it was by a rich, white woman for other women like her The Finnish equality ombudsman office investigated it to see if it classified as illegal discrimination. I feel the same way you do, except for with thinking love means you being pitied. I afraid of love and what it entails (intimacy, vulnerability, etc). The reasons for that have to do with me feeling worthless and undeserving of love, the fear of being abandoned after opening up, and a fear that my vulnerability will somehow be used against me in some way. JoJo Part 5's theme of "Fate". All the characters are born into shitty circumstances, but choose to not let it define who they are. They choose to rebel against the boss, despite knowing that will surely die (as Fugo said). Honestly reading all that i really can think of a reason why he block u. Ur friend who also an international Chinese student is 증평출장마사지 prob right that maybe it a cultural difference n ur crush felt u were shutting his idea down? but i feel like u already told him u get easily distracted studying with others so it pretty confusing. I give him some space if it hasn been at 증평출장마사지 least a few days yet. Much less than 10% who came to love Kpop as a 50+ year old. My friends think I'm weird but the great thing about being this age is I really don't care what anyone else thinks. It's the group dancing that first caught my attention. Who on Earth wants to be with someone like that.ArdenSix 1 point submitted 1 day agoWasn me giving down votes, I all for discussing games and where improvements can be made. But I have to disagree with Apex having fair loot distribution. There are a couple weapons that are garbage, equivalent to a grey pistol in terms of desirability.

Three friends try to save their mummified friend, Harold, from greedy criminals by returning him to his resting place before midnight on Halloween.

The re-imagined story takes place a few days before Halloween when 12-year-old friends Gilbert, Marshall and Amy accidentally revive a mummy they discover in a neighbor’s basement, which they affectionately name Harold. However, they must rush to return him to his resting place before midnight on Halloween. Along the way, the team narrowly escapes a nefarious group of criminals intent on selling the mummy to the highest bidder. When Harold is inevitably captured, Marshall, Gilbert and Amy must band together to stand up to the criminals, face their fears and rescue their new—but rather ‘ancient’—friend.”
