Album Review: Blackshady's Age of Black

Hey wassup, it's time for another album review. This time however, the album is mine. Originally supposed to be a video album for YouTube(yes I did make some of these tracks). I never finished it but If I had well....let's see....pay attention cause I will likely choose to do my reviews more in depth like this in the future for your favorite artists...

Blackshady is a ** year old rapper hailing from Virginia, and this is his first solo work. Age of Black is a mixtape style album where he takes beats from already established rap songs and goes in on them. The first track is called (The Wait Is) Over where Blackshady spits on Drake's Over beat.
He spits,

One thing bout Rap when I hear I feel no pain
Like Im straight up insane
Like these gurls wanna give me brain
They say they love me,
I kno betta than that its just game
They wanna fuck me,
And I’m ready for dat
I aint gotta wife and it’s a shame

After that the album pays ode to Jay-z's Take Over song.....Things get interesting.

I told u I come to take the game
Im not Akon but I got the fame
Ya gurl gimme the brain
I thought she was ya dame
I rap all sillieeeee
Like lil wayne on a millie
U an me beeefin really is silly
Im a rapper u just play wit ya willie

The song is as cruel as it is funny.....then theres' Troublesome 2006 an ode to Pac, but this song is very very dark and personal. I can't post the lyrics, you'll just have to hear it for yourself. Somethin about conspiracies, lying women, and biblical prophecies all in one song.

There were other songs here, but most, eh most seemed like filler. There's love tracks, beef tracks, and a track dedicated to how expensive apple stuff is to buy. Then there's Big Cuzn, where Black raps over Kanye's Big Brother. It's the album's last song, and arguably the best.


We used to hang out at as kids
And be at each other’s cribs
He watched BET, with me
I was like who’s Jay-z
He let me bump Missy
The memory stays wit me
We not so close but then
I still wanna be like my Big Cuzin
Aint seen em in like 7 years
Almost brings me to tears

Well the album was good. The delivery of the rapper could improve. He has a hard time staying on the stellar beats. However this is a good album/mixtape...whatever.
The verdict: 8.0/10 suck it

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
