Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous (Big L, 1995)

Enjoyable snack-like satisfaction, but nothing inspirational.  Big L's a lot different than I expected.  I love the brief periods he double-times, wish we got to hear more of that.  I found the hardcore crime stuff a lot more intriguing than the battle rap side of it.  Also Jay-Z has a cameo which gives me all the more respect for Reasonable Doubt, it's incredible that this was just a year before.

Choice cuts: All Black, Da Graveyard, Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous

Akran (Richard Myers, 1969)

Intermittently annoying in that unique way experimental films seem to have a monopoly on and brilliant.  Keep it a hundred, kind of a slog for me too.
