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

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

Album Review: Clipse- Let God Sort Em Out

Well I didn't rush this review, I've had some time to sit with this album. It's a hell of a comeback album. Pusha T and Malice are deadly as ever on the mic. The album lyrically is intense. Production is pretty good too but I expected slightly more from an album produced entirely by Pharrell Williams. Speaking of Pharrell, he's all over this album...sometimes not just relegated to a hook. The album gets off to a great start with "The Birds Don't Sing" where both brothers talk about their parents who passed. Pusha T raps about his Mom. Malice about his dad. I really liked the vibe of "All Things Considered"; the The-Dream feature is good. That brings me to the features....like a monster one from Kendrick Lamar on "Chains & Whips". Tyler the Creator does well on "P.O.V.". Nas is on the 2nd last track and he does well too. "M.T.B. T. T. F." is fire, and it stands for Mike Tyson Blow to the Face lol. Ultimately its h...

My Top Video Games of all time

I've done plenty of music lists, so i think its time to pay homage to my top video games of all time. I'm only going to mention games i've played. So, if a game you like is not up here(which I guarantee a few wont be) let me know. Lets get into it.... 1)       The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time- I have praised this game so many times, and it’s all well deserved. Ocarina has great controls and the graphics were nice at the time. I really love the story, and how the game is paced. You do a side quest of some kind, which generally isn’t long, then you go to a dungeon, get an item, use that item to get further in the dungeon, then beat the boss. Ocarina is, the best Zelda, and as of right now I don’t think that’s up for discussion. There are some really good Zelda games though such as Wind Waker, ALTTP(which made my list), and some others. 2)       Final Fantasy X- Final Fantasy X….is the only FF I’ve beaten, and I’ve played F...
