Best Albums Reviewed Vol. 3 (9-1)

Here are the final albums ENJOY
 9)Tetsuo & Youth-Lupe Fiasco-An incredibly complex and unique album. It's without question Lupe's best album. Just check out his relentless bars on Mural.

 8)Reasonable Doubt-Jay-z-Jigga's debut album is one of the best lyrical performances ever. Dead Presidents II is the best track, but there's a lot to like here.

 7)The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill-Lauryn Hill-Lauryn Hill's album(only album) is incredibly introspective and thoughtful. She raps about real issues with ease. Something that Nicki Minaj is just now trying to get around to in 2015.
 6)Me Against the Wolrd-2pac:Pac's best album is devoid of beef and hostility for the most part; 2 things Pac is known for. Despite this its a terrific album, with the classic Dear Mama song, in which Pac raps about his appreciation for his mother.
 5)Amerikkaz Most Wanted-Ice Cube: A great album that really smacks you in the face before the first song. Ice Cube is without a doubt one of the best rappers ever. 
4)My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy-Kanye West: I've praised this album many times. It's got the best beats of just about any rap album. This is the one Kanye will be known for by his critics, but maybe not die hard fans.
 3) Ready to Die-The Notorious B.I.G.:When I think of rap classics, I think of Ready to Die. Biggie delivers on every track with his flow, delivery, and creativity. Juicy and BIg Poppa, nuff said.
 2)Illmatic-Nas-:This may be #1 on your list, but its not on mine. Illmatic is a terrific, short listen. Nas really came out the gate swinging, with a flawless flow and great storytelling. Nas aint even trying to top this masterpiece.
 1)Blueprint-Jay-z: Jigga gets the top honors with the best rap album I have ever reviewed. It's got a lot of great songs, songs that could easily be radio singles. The Beats are phenomenal, and Jay's lyrics are just as sharp. It even has one of the roughest beef tracks in Takeover.

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

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

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...
