My Thoughts 2012-1st Edition


I'm back in College for what seems to be my 12th semester...yea its hard to believe. I remember when I was a freshman back in 2006. It wasnt very difficult to get aquainted with college life, which at the time consisted of stayin on campus during the week. It was easier to make friends and hang out back then at school. Now I'm back with my original major of history and I'm ready to make the push for the degree.

I'm so glad that the NBA got it together...i've been watching as much NBA as I can ever since it started on CHristmas day. My favorite team is the Lakers. Ironically it used to be the Heat, but that was back when it was Shaq and Wade on the team.....I've gotta admit i felt odd during last year's finals. I hate the Mavericks, but I didn't really want the Heat to win either......This season It seems the younger athletic teams will have the best records.

Music wise I have completly forgotten about R&B it seems.....I've gotten more into rap again(as you can see from my blogs), but I do enjoy R&B and some Pop. Lady Gaga and the Legendary Britney Spears are 2 of my favorite artists.....I'm a pretty big Justin Timberlake fan too. Rap wise there were some good albums last year but ulltimately 2010 was the best year i've seen for rap in a LONG TIME. Okay maybe since 2008 lol.2008 had numerous really hot albums like Paper Trail by T.I. and LAX by Game, not to mention Untitled by Nas. Last year it seemed like almost every album I heard could have been a little better.

Movie wise I got to see quite a few movies like Priest(ugh),  Thor, Sherlock Holmes, Transformers 3, and Rise of the Planet of the APes. Oh yea, i also saw 2 horror movies with a good friend(INsidious and DOnt be afraid of the Dark. Of course Im giving Transformers gets movie of the year from me. Don't ask why.

That raps up this edition of my thoughts....thanks for reading my blog

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
