My Current Favorite Rappers Today Vol. 1 Part 2

Honorable mentions: Big Boi,, Common, Talib Kweli, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Tyler The Creator

10) Jay-z –Jigga isn’t in my top 5 anymore, but of course he makes the top 10. What more can I say…about him. He’s an incredible all around rapper, but he needs to drop another album soon.

BA-The Blueprint

9) Nas-This may be shocking…but yes I’m feeling Nas more than Jay these days. The incredible lyricism and story telling are to contribute to that.

BA-Illmatic

8)T.I.-TIP Harris is a dope dirty south rapper, and has stayed relevant to me. He’s been pretty consistent these days too. Paper Work was a damn good album.

BA-Paper Trail

7)Eminem-The great white rapper has fallen back a bit, but he’s still arguably the best rapper alive. I can’t wait for his next album!

BA-Marshall Mathers LP

6)Lupe Fiasco-Lupe has long been a favorite rapper of mine. He’s a terrific lyricist and shows absolutely no sign of slowing down.

BA-Testuo & Youth

5) J.Cole-I didn’t use to like J.Cole that much…before 2013 lol. He’s a conscious, well balanced lyricist and a he has a good discography. He reminds me of Nas mixed with Jay-z.

BA-2014 Forest Hills Drive

4) Kendrick Lamar-Kendrick is another supreme lyrcist and his music is really relevant socially. I think GKMC is still his best work however. He also shows no signs of slowing down.

BA-Good Kid Maad City

3)Drake-This may be a shocker, but I’ve been a fan of Drake’s since 2010. He’s only gotten better; I’ve noticed like most rappers he’s changed his style a little bit. I can’t wait for Views from the 6 album to drop soon.

BA-Nothing Was the Same

2) Kanye West- Kwest is a long time favorite of mine. He’s not #1 but he hasn’t lost his touch at all. He’s still making music unlike anything like the competition. I don’t really know what else he has to prove.

BA-My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

1) The Game-No doubt Game is killin it right now. He really stepped it up with his last 2 albums. Both were classics. What’s next for this talented rapper? He’s definitiely defied my expectations..

BA-Documetary 2.5

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 ...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...
