Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

Thank Me Later Fireworks- Drake raps about his newfound stardom. He’s joined by Alicia Keys who does a great job on the chorus. The beat is kinda nothing more than a backdrop. I really like Drake’s verses here. 9/10 Karaoke- Drake sings almost the entire song. Its an okay song but rather skippable. 5.5/10 The Resistance- This one is a little better than the previous track. I like the chorus. Drake continues to rap about his newly found stardom. The beat is interesting but the topic has gotten kinda stale by now. 6/10 Over- Over is a tremendous song with an awesome beat. Drake kills the song with sharp delivery. 9.5/10 Show Me a Good Time- Another uptempo song. I really like the beat, and the chorus is pretty hot too. 8.5/10 Up All Night- This is song has a real dark feel to it, as Drizzy and Minaj kill the song. Nicki really steals the show though…..with lines like “F*** I look like ho? I look like yes and you like no”. ...

This is a list of rappers who I feel are the best right now, not all time. It’s mostly based on albums and songs from 2010-2011. Here’s the top 20 *For the 2013 list go here http://supermaxreviews.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-top-rappers-of-2013-1st-edition.html 1)       Kanye West: “Now I’m on the top and everybody on the scrotum”-Kanye West. Mr. West is finally on top. His discography is almost flawless. He really pushed rap to its limits with his last solo album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Then he came out with his big Brother to release Watch the Throne, another tight album. Kanye has been a great rapper, but now I’d have to say he’s at the top. His lyrical wordplay is just as good as ever. I don’t see him topping his last solo effort….but hey, when you’re the best, everyone tries to get up to your level. Kanye has dropped several hot verses on albums like on Ross’s Teflon Don, and Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday. 2)       ...

Now it's time for me to review Star Wars Ep. II Attack of the Clones. It originally came out back in 2002...wow it has been almost 10 years already! Okay here's the review. What I Like: The opening scene was intersting, i mean an explosion right off the bat...that makes it interesting. I love the fact that this movie is kind of like a mystery movie for its majority. This makes you wonder just what is going to happen next. Teenage Anakin is a likeable character, as he gives Obi Wan some drama here and there. You also have the introduction of some new villains: Jango Fett and Count Dooku. You also have a big battle scene at the end that just seems to outdo the tension of the ending of Phantom Menace. Didn't Like: Some of the same things that plague PH plague this one. The dialogue isnt all that. The movie's pace is very slow....and the love scenes between Padme and Anakin are kind of boring. Other than that its a good film. Overall this is a step above Phantom Me...

MY Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Kanye West 2 nd Review Ok I knew this was going to be a hot album as soon as I heard POWER on youtube for the first time. That song is just one of many greats on this album. In fact I think not only is this Mr. West’s best album thus far, but its also the most versatile rap album ever, bar none. The beats on every song are amazing. POWER reminds me a lot of Stronger from Graduation, but its better lyrically. Sure the beat isn’t as good, but this song is incredible. In fact after hearing this song its clear that Kanye is one of rap’s elite lyricists now(in case you didn’t think so after Graduation or his auto-tuned 808’s & Heart Break). The songs before that, are also incredible. Gorgeous has a rock tuned beat that keeps the album feeling well, very dark. Especially with Kid Cudi’s chorus….The song features strong raps from Kanye, and verse from Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan. Man that’s 2 new artists I’ve only started liking si...

Ne-yo burst on the scene in 2006 and he quickly became one of my favorite R&B artists. He is an excellent songwriter also as is evident on his albums. In My Own Words- Ne-Yo’s debut album is arguably his best. This album has some really great songs on it like So Sick, When You’re Mad, Stay, and the sorrowful Time. Sexy Love is my favorite song here. It has a hot beat and a terrific chorus. Get Down Like That is another interesting song. The album also includes the remix to that song. After hearing this album there was no doubt that Usher had some competition from the “one” of R&B, Ne-Yo. Rank #1 Because of You- The R&B crooner avoided the sophomore slump even though this album isn’t as good as his debut. You essentially have an album well rounded album here. I don’t like every song but that’s rare for an album anyway. The album has some nice beats, but most impressive is Ne-Yo’s lyrical execution. My favorite songs are Do You, Because of You Rank ...
