Ne-Yo DIscography

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.

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
B+

Year of the Gentlemen- This is a very deep album, with relatively no weak songs. The R&B crooner seems to worship women on this one. The first 5 songs are really good. The rest of the album seems more mellow, but it’s still executed really well. Fade into the Background is a very sad song, and is the conclusion to So Sick and Do You from his previous 2 albums. On the downside the beats are less than stellar, but it’s a minor complaint.
A-

Libra Scale- This is Ne-Yo’s worst album thus far, but its really not a bad album. I really like some of the songs, while others just don’t really stand out from what he’s done in the past. Some stand outs include Beautiful Monster, Makin a Movie, One in a Million, and What Have I Done? Overall this just feels like an average effort by Ne-yo’s standards. Out of all the songs Beautiful Monster gets my nod for best song.
C+

R.E.D.-Ne-Yo’s 5th album has a sound of Libra Scale and Year of the Gentlemen. The album has a lot of varying types of songs. There’s plenty of good songs here. I’m not sure what the best song is, but Be the One is another Ne-yo classic. It’s nice to the the “Gentlmen” hasn’t lost his touch.

I just got Ne-yo's new album. Expect a review from me soon.

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 ...

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...
