Oodles of Noodles isn’t a sensible dinner choice if you have more than a few dollars, but when it’s all you can afford, instant ramen might as well be five-star linguini. It's a meal that has come to represent the struggle of low-income families, but when revisited during better times, it can taste like nostalgia, a feeling that Meek Mill mines lovingly and completely on his new single “Oodles O’ Noodles Babies.” Taken from his upcoming album Championships, “Oodles O’ Noodles” takes a poetic, haunting look at Mill’s tough beginning and road to success.
Mill recalls his hardships over a smooth sample from “Love Changes” by Mother’s Finest, touching on everything from the memory of his father to one judge’s keenness on keeping him behind bars. He’s uncharacteristically calm, with his usual fiery resolve replaced with tranquility. Though his emotions threaten to break after the first verse, he eases into an interlude about his relationship with law enforcement (“We ain’t never believed in the police, they was shootin’ us”). Meek acknowledges that many won’t ever make it out of poverty; capitalism is draining the poor and engorging the rich. Yet he remains hopeful: “And the story goes on/If you make it, you amazing.” In Meek Mill’s mind, living with the possibility of change makes the struggle worth it.
, Download New Movie Apple gave everyone a glimpse at the future of the iPhone with last year's iPhone X, positioning it at the top of its lineup. With a “notch” and Face ID, the iPhone X was the iPhone of the future, and it came with a price tag that required you to pay EMIs well into the future. The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus were meant to be the more accessible offerings, continuing Apple's “business as usual” model of delivering solid, incremental updates at prices that were only marginally higher than their predecessors. With 2018, however, it seems the future is here, as Apple has gone all-in with the iPhone X ( Review ) design language across the entire lineup. For the second year in a row, we get not two but three new iPhone models, but this time, they all look pretty much the same — like the iPhone X, but at different sizes. Physically, the iPhone XR sits between the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max . It's priced in iPhone 8 Plus territory, which means Apple has elim...
, Download New Movie In 2005, when Steven Spielberg asked Michael Bay to direct the first ever live-action Transformers film, he dismissed it as a “ stupid toy movie ” and deemed the first draft of the script as “ too kiddie ”. Bay would come around on the former after he learnt about the Transformers mythology from the makers Hasbro, but he didn't budge on the latter aspect and asked the film's writers to increase the role of the military, which they did. The move away from being a kid-oriented movie, along with Bay's penchant for action sequences that defied comprehension and overtly-convoluted plots, would prove to be the franchise's repeated undoing critically, even as the various instalments ate up the box office. The new Transformers prequel spin-off Bumblebee , from Kubo and the Two Strings director Travis Knight working off a script by writer Christina Hodson — she's working on two upcoming DC movies, Birds of Prey and Batgirl — is exactly what Transformer...
, Download New Movie We are sending away 2018 and we look back and see what were the most popular phones over the past year. While there are 20 phones in the yearly selection, the list of manufacturers is scarce. To be more precise, two out of every three devices come from either Xiaomi or Samsung. Samsung brought us 7 of the most popular phones in 2018 - hardly a surprise that the world's largest manufacturer dominates the popularity chart. Somewhat less expected is that Xiaomi got 6. Last year , the number for the Korean manufacturer was the same, but the Chinese maker is up by one, showcasing that the global trend of Xiaomi catching up to the big guys is on every level. The most popular phone of 2018 was the Redmi Note 5 Pro and it completely smashed any competition. It was so popular, that the other two Xiaomis following couldn’t gather the same number of hits even if they combined their powers. Samsung eventually caught up with the Galaxy A8 (2018). The love for midrangers is...
