My Current Favorite Rappers Today Vol. 1

20) Big K.R.I.T.-Starting the list is Big K.R.I.T. I really loved his Cadalatica album, but the other albums/mixtapes are good as well. He’s also a dope producer

Best Album-Cadalatica

19) Big Sean-Big Sean has become a favorite rapper of mine. He’s got a choppy flow, but lots of charisma.

BA-Dark Sky Paradise

18) Logic-Logic is a real dope lyricist. He just has this buttery smooth flow that I love. He reminds me of a 90s rapper.

BA-Under Pressure

17)Ludacris-The mouf of the south was once my favorite rapper. He’s a dope punchline rapper but he’s fallen from the top 15 or 5 for that matter.

BA-Word of Mouf

16)2pac-Tupac is an all time great for sure. I’ve been listenin to him more than I used to. I dotn listen to Biggie as much at this point. Pac had it all man, and could excel on any type of song.

BA-Me Against the World

15) Jeezy-Jeezy is a dope dirty south rapper. I feel he’s lost a lot of popularity but not with me. Ad Lib master, and improved lyricist.

BA-The Recession

14)Rick Ross-Rick Ross has been one of my favorites for a while now. He’s also an improved lyricist and has been on a lot of other artist ‘s albums since he’s been out.

BA-Teflon Don

13) N.W.A.- I’m including Ice Cube, Eazy E, and Dr. Dre in one…crazy right? I’m a fan of all 3 members so yeah. Cube is incredible, Eazy is a legend, but Dre is the most relelvant right now.

BA-Straight Outta Compton

12) NickI Minaj-Argauably the most dominant female MC ever. Nicki continues to dominate, and she’s a favorite of mine.

BA-The Pinkprint

11) Pusha T- King Push is a really talented lyricist. Looks like he don’t need his brother Malice to make hits. He’s dropped back to back great albums.

BA-My Name is My Name

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good. Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways. The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
