My THoughts on The Barbadian princess, Rihanna

As you know Robyn(her first name) RIhanna Fenty, just dropped another album. Yes she finally took a break from releasing albums every year....and Anti is really good. I'll review it later. Let me give you my thoughts on her.



So it begins in 2005. I heard her debut single Pon De Replay. I thought it was hot...but honestly sounded alot like alot of other 05 songs that came out that summer. Then there was SOS in 2006...great song, i loved it. Then she dropped Unfaithful and I was like wtf. She's crazy for this one is what i thought.

Fast forward 1 year, and she drops her best album to date, Good Girl Gone Bad. I didnt get the album until early 2008, but it was clear to me, for really the first time, she was a huge talent. The album seemed to have just hit after hit. I was a huge fan.

Then as u know Rihanna gets beat up by her ex Chris Brown. It was savage man. A friend of mine actually met the two and he told sometimes Rihanna could be a b*tch. LOL. But that gave CB no right to do what he did of course. This was really a turning point in her career.

In 2009, Rihanna got rough. She turned into a bad girl literally...and you know what? I loved it. She got real freaky in her songs...alot of them. This is a succesfull image change...the next albums; Loud, Talk That Talk, and Unapolgetic seemed to continue the trends she had on Rated R. Loud is my favorite of those 4...It seemed like She had got her sound to the way she wanted it to be.



So then Rihanna takes a break. She is a hit maker. And she can really sing, unlike some other contemporaries...(I wont name names). Also Anti is good, but i'm trying to see how does it stack up against Rated R, and the rest.....Rihanna's first 2 albums were kind of poor.....then she had her best as i mentioned GGGB in 2007. It's been an impressive discography for her, and I want to have more music from her in the future

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

My Top Video Games of all time

I've done plenty of music lists, so i think its time to pay homage to my top video games of all time. I'm only going to mention games i've played. So, if a game you like is not up here(which I guarantee a few wont be) let me know. Lets get into it.... 1)       The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time- I have praised this game so many times, and it’s all well deserved. Ocarina has great controls and the graphics were nice at the time. I really love the story, and how the game is paced. You do a side quest of some kind, which generally isn’t long, then you go to a dungeon, get an item, use that item to get further in the dungeon, then beat the boss. Ocarina is, the best Zelda, and as of right now I don’t think that’s up for discussion. There are some really good Zelda games though such as Wind Waker, ALTTP(which made my list), and some others. 2)       Final Fantasy X- Final Fantasy X….is the only FF I’ve beaten, and I’ve played F...
