The greatest game ever???

CHESS


In case you didnt know I play Chess. It is an incredible board game with seemingly limitless depth. I mean the game may start out slow or it may start out fast. The game makes you think about what your opponent will do frequently.

The Pieces all play an important role. Pawns are first line of defense. They move up 1 space and attack diagonally 1 space. Pawns are good for backing up pieces...especially bishops. Bishops are diagonal attackers and can be really sneaky. I cant tell you how many times I got a piece taken by a bishop that was just sitting there.>_< ! Knights(Horses) Are my 2nd favorite piece. They move in Ls or 3 spaces in a couple of ways. This makes them very hard to defend against and they can also defend key spots easily.

THe rooks or castles as I've heard them be called attack horitzontally or vertically. They are powerful pieces but can't really do much in traffic. The objective of Chess is to protect the 1 piece moving in any direction....weak a** King. If your King comes under attack the opposing player says "Check"....if your King cant block or escape the attack its CHeck Mate and the game is over. I will return to that later. My favorite piecce is the queen. She is powerful and is basically a bishop and rook put together. Queens are very much game changers. If you lose your queen odds are, you will lose the game...

The game of Chess has so many variations its mind boggling. The King generally plays a part in the "late game " phase of Chess....where both sides are on the verge of depleting each other's forces. Ultimately Chess is a game you initally suck at then you get good eventually..and then great...but if you dont keep practicing you might just be good like me....LOL

Kanye West 2 Part-Post (Revised Top Songs & Album Ranking)

1.       Gold Digger- To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol. 2.       All Falls Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled him to superstardom in 2004. 3.       Jesus Walks- A controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years. 4.       Can’t Tell Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample are pure genius. 5.       Power- The aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

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
