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: 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...
