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

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

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

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...
