My Favorite R&B Albums(Part One, 30-21)


My Favorite R&B Albums of All Time
This is a ranked list of my favorite R&B Albums. If you think I need to check out another album not listed or you think an album I picked isn’t that great than let me know. I didnt include some albums, but only because i havent heard them that many times. I chose the following albums from a list of over 50 albums! ENJOY the countdown


30)Keyshia Cole-The Way It Is: Keyshia Cole’s debut starts off the list. Keyshia’s vocals are strong throughout. I really like “I Changed My Mind” which produced by Kanye West. I got this album in 2006 I think, but I liked K.C. just off the singles she put out at the time.

 

29)Usher-Raymond v. Raymond:I picked this album over Here I Stand because to me it’s a little flahsier, and more fun to listen to. The album’s first half is its better half. “Lil Freak” is a certified banger….

 

28)Alicia Keys-The Diary of Alicia Keys:This is the album that solidified Alicia as one of R&B’s elite artists. I absolutely love the singles like “Diary”, You Don’t Know My Name, and “If I Ain’t Got You”. I find “Karma” to be one of the best songs of her career.

 

27) Trey Songz-Chapter V:  Trigga Trey’s latest album makes the list. There’s lots of good songs throughout. It seems like he has his sound down to a science. “Heart Attack”, “2 Reasons”, and “Bad Decisions” are some that stand out.

 

26) Chris Brown-Exclusive(The Forever Edition)-I still consider this to be Chris’ best album. There’s an allstar guest list: Kanye, Game, Lil Wayne, Big Boi, T-Pain, and even Keri Hilson. The album has few average songs. Chris Breezy!

 

            25) Trey Songz-Ready: This is the album that really made Trey a big star. Its full   
Of great choruses and decent beats. “Yo Side of the Bed” and “Black Roses” are my favorite songs on the album. You can’t forget about “LOLJ” and “Say Ahh” though.

 

24) Rihanna-Loud(Deluxe): Besides Rated R, this is Rihanna ultimate Bad girl album. I love most every song. There’s a good deal of versatility here as well. Guests include Drake, Nicki Minaj, and even Eminem.

 

23) Ne-Yo-Year of the Gentlemen-His 3rd album is incredibly well done. There are no bad songs on it. There’s club records, heartbreak songs, and even songs that well, worship women lol.

 

22) Elle Varner-Perfectly Imperfect- A fairly new entry. Elle is a very introspective, humble artist; you can really hear that in her music. The album is great…I can’t wait for a next album from her.

 

21) Alicia Keys-The Element of Freedom-Alicia’s albums are all great, but I consider this one to be the most balanced and cohesive. “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart” and “Love is Blind” are both great additions to her catalogue.
 
stay tuned for the next 20

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,...

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Kanye West Albums Ranked (2026 Revision)

16) Vultures 2 (72)- It should be no surprise this album is the worst of the bunch. It just comes off as lazy and uninspired most of the time. The production is decent tho. “Bomb” features Yuno Miles and his daughters: North and Chicago West…..and it's really corny. “Husband” is just god awful. I don’t know what he was going for with that one! “Fried” is pretty dope tho….and you can see the potential of “530”. 15) Donda 2 (75) - I haven’t had a lot of time to sit with this one. It’s not that bad tho…in fact it’s kind of average. I really like “City of God” which features Alicia Keys and Five Foreign. Sure lyrically its not great but the production again isn’t bad. Ultimately I feel like this has little to do with the first Donda album…. 14) 808s and Heartbreak (83) - You may be shocked to see this still near the bottom of his discography. While I bumped the score up a little from last time, I still feel 808’s isn’t all that. I love “Heartless” as it’s probably the best song. “Love...
