‘Straight Outta Compton’ does justice to hip hop legends
The first CD I ever bought was Snoop Dogg’s “Doggystyle”, which was quickly followed by Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic”, and thus began my love of 1990s gangsta rap.

Here’s your Fifty Shades of Grey trailer! Happy now?
If you’ve read Trashwire for any length of time, you might remember the post I wrote after reading Fifty Shades of Grey. I had a few issues with the story and the way it seems like everyone’s totally fine with glamorizing abusive relationships. But who gives a shit what I have to say? The books…
