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,...

Tech Review: Iphone Air

I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life. Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Kanye West Albums Ranked (2026 Revision)

16) Vultures 2 (72)- It should be no surprise this album is the worst of the bunch. It just comes off as lazy and uninspired most of the time. The production is decent tho. “Bomb” features Yuno Miles and his daughters: North and Chicago West…..and it's really corny. “Husband” is just god awful. I don’t know what he was going for with that one! “Fried” is pretty dope tho….and you can see the potential of “530”. 15) Donda 2 (75) - I haven’t had a lot of time to sit with this one. It’s not that bad tho…in fact it’s kind of average. I really like “City of God” which features Alicia Keys and Five Foreign. Sure lyrically its not great but the production again isn’t bad. Ultimately I feel like this has little to do with the first Donda album…. 14) 808s and Heartbreak (83) - You may be shocked to see this still near the bottom of his discography. While I bumped the score up a little from last time, I still feel 808’s isn’t all that. I love “Heartless” as it’s probably the best song. “Love...
