The Air I Breathe: Four overlapping, connect the dots story lines, based on a Chinese proverb and titled "Cheerfulness," "Delight," "Grief," and "Love," make up this mess of a film.

Is Gucci Mane The Next Rap Superstar?

By Greg Romanson

There are many hip hop fans that have not taken time to listen to Gucci Mane. This guy is a mogul in the state of Georgia and has become one of the biggest celebrities. He grew up poor on the streets in East Atlanta, but followed his dreams of sharing music with people. When first listening to Gucci, most people are confused by his lyrics.

Even though he uses some derogatory words in music, he is one of the most fearless artists. He has gained celebrity status because he can dig deep into his emotions and express them to reflect his experience as a human being. His buzz on the streets has propelled him to the number one spot on the mixtape scene.

Several of his mixtapes including "The Burrprint 3-D: The Movie," "Bird Money," and "The Movie: Part 2" have been considered classics by most people that listen to Gucci on a consistent basis. Although taste in music is subjective, most people cannot deny how popular Gucci Mane has become as an artist.

He was even included on MTV's 2009 "hottest emcees" in the genre of rap music. He placed number six on a very competitive list of names including Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Young Jeezy. To say that he is lacking in popularity is very inaccurate. Most of his fans are supportive because they enjoy hearing his creative lyrics and awesome instrumentals produced by his good friend Zaytoven.

Many people would argue that Zaytoven is one of the best low profile producers in the entire hip hop game. Not only are Gucci Mane mixtapes very popular, but all of the Gucci Mane freestyles that have been released are also very popular. You should take the time to review his talent by watching some of the creative lyrics that he comes up with off the top of his head.

This artist has been able to become incredibly rich after experiencing success in the music industry. He has shows that are sold out across the United States. He is even working harder to get his name more well-known by doing songs with Fabolous, Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz, and Snoop Dogg. It has been a lot of fun for his fans to watch his hard work propel him to a greater level of productivity.

Anyone that is a fan of rap-music knows that Gucci Mane has had a lot of musical success. Most individuals that support Gucci will not hesitate to promote for him and let the world know that he is one of the best. Many people have different thoughts about this artist, but he is on pace to really become a huge superstar. - 18780

5 Excellent Solo Post Beatles Albums

By Jackson Q. Weller

People love to off handily dismiss the solo work of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison and say that they were no good after The Beatles. And while it is true that they never quite reached the same level as The Beatles (but who has?) they really did release a number of great albums after "the greatest band of all time."

In this article I highlight five such albums that I recommend you give an honest listen to. Are any of these albums a match for Revolver, The White Album, or Abbey Road? No, not in my opinion. But not many albums are in that league! While these albums may not be true classics, they are (in some cases) very close to that status.

John Lennon - Imagine (1971) - This is Lennon's most well known solo album as it includes his most well known solo song (the title track, of course.) But it includes quite a few other great songs as well and it's definitely the most "Beatles-esque" post Beatles album by Lennon which makes it a great introduction to Lennon's solo career for Beatles fans. That being said, I think Plastic Ono Band is his best solo album.

John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band (1970) - John, Paul, & George all started off really strongly with their debut solo albums in my opinion. But it was probably this album by John that has had the most lasting impact. it's really revelatory in it's stripped down stark style. It's a very influential album.

George Harrison - All Things Must Pass (1970) - After years of being relegated to a third wheel (behind Lennon & McCartney) Harrison was finally able to really let his songwriting skills shine with this brilliant album.

Paul McCartney - Memory Almost Full (2007) - A lot of people were disappointed by this one in comparison with Chaos & Creation... and I can understand that, but it's really a completely different side of Paul. Chaos... was the disciplined Paul. This is the "do anything he damn well pleases" Paul. I find both Paul's charming and I think this is a pretty great album.

The Fireman - Electric Arguments (2008) - This is Paul's third release as "The Fireman" which is actually a duo of McCartney and the producer Youth. The first one isn't worth checking out, but the second one is titled Rushes (1998) and it's a really great electronic ambient music album that I highly recommend. Anyway, as far as Electric Arguments goes - it's basically a marriage of Paul's experimental edge with his more pop oriented songwriting.

Please note that these are just five of the best solo albums by John, Paul, & George. I am not saying that these are the best five, just five of the best. There are a lot of other solo albums by the former Fab Four that you should also check out. - 18780
