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

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...
