Rapper albums

Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101

2005

Top 3-5 Songs: Soul Survivor, Go Crazy, Standing Ovation, Bottom of the Map

Album Score: Beats-4, Lyrics-3.2=3.6

Rapper Stats: Flow-74, Versatility-75, Relevancy-83

Rapper Rating: 77.3

Comments- Jeezy’s first album is a “cult favorite” of mine. It has lots of good songs on it, but not much in terms of variety. However Jeezy’s ad libs are good, and the guest list is great which includes Jay-z, T.I., Trick Daddy,Bun B, and Akon. What stands out to me is that Jeezy can hold his own on most tracks without a guest rapper.

 

The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102

2006

Top Songs-Go Getta, I Luv It, Bury Me a G, Dreamin, 3 A.M.

Album Score: Beats-4, Lyrics-3.4= 3.7

Rapper Stats: Flow-78,V-77, R-85

Rapper Rating: 80

Comments- This album is a bit harder to review than TM101. TM102 is better, even though it gets off to a bad start. The rest of the album makes up for that. The beats are just as good, and Jeezy seems to be slightly better lyrically. The Ad libs are still in effect.

His guests include Keyshia Cole, R.Kelly, T.I., and Timbaland. Overall it’s a step in the right direction.

 

2007-Non Album Year

Rapper Rating+1=81

C-Jeezy remained pretty relevant in 2007. It was clear he was a force in Rap.

 

 

The Recession

2008

Top Songs- Put On, Vacation, Crazy World, Welcome Back, My President

Album Score: Beats-4.2 ,Lyrics-4= 4.1

R S: F-83, V-81, R-90

RR: 84.7

C- Jeezy came back hard on this album. It’s a great album either way you look at it. Most notably is that Jeezy varies his flow on this album, and he has more lyrical dexterity. He is rarely outshined on this album….maybe only by Kanye West on 1 song but that’s about it. Guests also include Trey Songz, Anothony Hamilton, and Nas.

 

 

 

2009-2010

Rapper Rating -2= 82.7

C-Only a 2 point deduction. Jeezy did have some guest spots on Rihanna’s album…as well as some others. However he wasn’t all that relevant as he was before.

 

TM 103: Hustlerz Ambition

2011

Top Songs- I Do, Fame, Trapped, Leave You Alone, Lose My Mind

Album Score: Beats-3.9, Lyrics-4= 3.95

RS: F-82, V-82 , R-83 , Critical Acclaim-70
RR: 79.3

C-TM103 is a pretty good album. I think it could have been better. For one some songs don’t stand out that much, and there’s too many guest spots. Overall it’s a good addition to Jeezy’s discography and I look forward to another album from him. YEAA!


2012

RR-1=78.3

C-Jeezy wasn’t non existant last year but you’ve got to think he could have been more relevant in 20 12.

 

Overall Album Score: 3.8

Non Album Year(s) Overall Score= 60.5

Rapper’s Overall Rating: 81.3
 
 

Final Rapper Comments: Young Jeezy is a dominant southern rapper. His albums are all good, and he’s become a relevant and potent lyricist. Unfortunately I think his best work may be behind him but time will tell.

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...
