Rap Regions Tournament Dirty South Bracket Round 1

Big Boi vs. Future: Different styles from ATL…
Flow-Big Boi wins this easily…just think about it.
Delivery-Big Boi wins again, but not by a whole lot…
Albums-Outkast’s legacy is incredible, but I’m actually judging this off Big Boi’s solo career….he wins again.
Story-A hard category to judge for a dirty south rapper. It’s a tie…lol
Legacy-Big Boi is legendary with Outkast but I’d have to say Future wins as a solo artist based strictly off of legacy…
Big Boi wins 4-2



Ludacris vs. Scarface: 2 dirty south legends…
Flow-This is tough…I’m going to have to give it to Luda. But not by much.
Delivery- Tough choice, but Luda’s delivery is versatile. Luda
A-Luda wins, but not by much. I feel his body of work is just a little greater.
S-Luda is a decent storyteller but its not really his forte’. Scarface excels at it…Scarface
L-THIS is harder than you think, but I say Scarface has had a greater legacy than Luda, albeit not by much. Not at this point in 2016.
Luda wins 3-2



Drake vs. Rick Ross:  Commercial  rappers go at it
F-Tie. Both rappers have improved flows, escpecailly Ross.
D-Ross wins, with his rough delivery, but not easily.
A-Both rappers have a good amount of albums, but Drake’s are better overall.
S-Drake wins this one. He’s a really good reminiscer.
L-If this were made in 2011 Ross would win, but this is 2016 and Drake has had a major impact. Drake.

Drake wins 4-2



T.I. vs. Killer Mike: ATL Slugfest….
F-T.I. just has one of the smoothest flows so he gets the nod here.
D-While TIP has good delivery, Killer Mike’s is just really good.
A-T.I. wins again I’m not counting the RTJ albums here.
S-TIE. Both rapper have shown the ability to storytell and well too.
L-T.I. has certainly had the better legacy…turn it!
T.I. wins 4-2



Big K.R.I.T. vs. Jeezy: Peep this matchup
F-Now Old Jeezy couldn’t flow that well, but the current Jeezy beats Big KRIT by a lil bit.
D-While Jeezy has a rough rapping voice, his delivery is crips, as is KRIT’s.  TIE.
A-     Tie. Both rappers have great discographies.
S-KRIT wins here….and pretty easily. He’s one of the better storytellers in this region.
L-Jeezy has had more impact than KRIT. Part of that is the fact he’s been around longer but hey that’s fair.
Jeezy wins 4-3



Missy Elliot vs. Lil Wayne: 2 different kind of pop rappers….party vs. Gangster.
F-Missy doesn’t really spit struggle bars lol. Missy wins this segment.
D-Tie; both these rappers are versatile in their deliveries….
A-Lil Wayne has had some good albums, but he’s also had some bad ones. Missy’s disc. Is way better.
S-Lil Wayne actually wins here. Neither Missy or Weezy excel at it but hey….
L-Weezy has just been more dominant overall.
Lil Wayne wins 4-2

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
