"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
Yo, this is Kyle. I started out here just when the spring of 2005 began, and every month is going as a faster velocity than the last one. I’ve improved thanks to many people who have offered their help on my mediocre first reviews, and eventually I evolved. I’ve gone from a track-by-track reviewer giving barely any detail to someone who is striving to always improve with whatever I write. My reviews are almost always hip-hop, going from mainstream releases such as Kanye West to still underappreciated people like Common. I may once in a while do a rock or R&B review, but my musical tastes like what they like, and if I don’t like something as much as someone or like it better I try and go through explanations of why. There are many music reviewers (not just rap) that I think are excellent and always doing a well-done job. As for a list of my favorite music reviewers, I don’t rank numerically, not trying to leave anyone out or putting someone at a different number that they expected. I may do a list eventually; however that won’t be for a while. I’m a little disappointed that many great hip-hop writers don’t write as much or at all anymore, but hopefully that will be improved eventually.
QUANTITY
Usually, I write 3-5 reviews per month. They are normally in Music, and occasionally in Movies or the Writer's Corner.
I have recently attained the goal of reaching a hundred reviews, which I am pretty proud of. I will work hard to get to 150 (which, I guess, is the next milestone), however my pace occasionally slows down for either being busy, having writer’s block, or not having much to review. I hopefully expect to be there around August or September, if I'm lucky. However, occasionally I try and review something else and besides Music, another category I sometimes review in is Movies. Even though so far I’ve only done five movie reviews, I’ve also tried to improve there. I may expand my activity there or I may continue to do a movie review every few months, but I always enjoy it whenever I visit. I may sometimes review something in a category such as books or games to be a bit more versatile, even though I am a music reviewer.
My lifelong plan has always been to emcee, I got a good number of songs posted up that have gotten good results from many members who I thank. I may post some new ones up soon, however recent writer’s block has kinda messed everything up. I’m hopin I’m gonna get through that soon. My most recent is ”Identity” which was posted up a long time ago - however, I may post something new up sometime soon. It's just that life's put me in a place where it's difficult to write...[/complaining about self]. Right now, in August 2007, I'm starting to feel hip-hop again, I've recently recorded something for the first time in two years! Still, I have passion for hip-hop and that's what you need most, no matter what anyone else says.
As of late July 2006, I have gotten a Top Reviewer hat - and I'm going to try to keep to a persistent standard, even though goodness knows I can be sporadic and am dealing with some problems life's throwing in my direction. As of June 2008, I have a decent amount of plans for the summer - so I'm going to try to be as prolific and active as possible.
WEB OF TRUST
Since many others talk about their WOT, I will as well. I put people on my WOT who write reviews that provide information, intelligence, and have reviews that are just good reads - there's loads of writers here with different personalities but always write with charisma. If you put me on yours -- I will check out your work, r&r, and possibly leave some comments. If I believe you have fullfilled the qualities of a good writer, you will get on my WOT.
My email is owsnik@gmail.com. Got any questions or subjects you want to talk about, you can ask through e-mail. Spam just gets filtered out though, so don't try and send any - saying it just in case. My AIM name is otherwordlysnik1.
To end this for right now, before I eventually update this thing - I'll close with a quote from Slug that sums up my life pretty well. "I've got a lot to teach, but even more to learn..."

As for my upcoming reviews, I'm second only to my friend mcheadcase in procrastination! ;) However, I've had a lot of these planned for a while, and I may get to these albums in a few months or they may be my next review. But I'll get to write about em soon.
