The Game vs. Snoop Dogg:This should be harder than it looks to judge…
Flow-Both these rappers have great flows. TIE
Delivery-While Snoop has good delivery, he’s inconsistent. Game has one of the best deliveries in the game..lol. Game
Albums-Both have some great albums under their belt…but I feel Game’s are better overall. Game
Story-This is hard to judge…so I’m just going to give it to both. TIE.
Legacy-Snoop gets the nod here. As great as Game is, it’s hard to ignore what Snoop has meant to the game…Snoop



The Game wins 4-3

2pac vs. Jay Rock: A legend vs. a talented young MC…
F-2pac is an all around great rapper but Flow wasn’t his greatest attribute. Jay Rock is a potent lyricist…Jay Rock wins this round…
Delivery-Another tough category…Both rappers have really good delivery. TIE
A-Well Jay Rock has only one good album, and Pac has at least 3 or 4. SO Pac.
S- Story telling easily goes to Pac who’s one of the best at it…Pac
L-Are u serious? Pac by a mile…
.

Kendrick Lamar vs. Ab-Soul: These TDE members face off
F-K.dot is one of the best lyricists in this bracket, but so is Ab-Soul…it’s a tie.
D-Ab has good delivery, but I feel K.dot is more versatile. Kdot.
A-K.dot’s albums have been stellar, while Ab’s first was great, the 2nd not so much. Kdot.

A-Vince’s album and mixtape are a bit better than the offerings of SBQ.
S-This is hard to call. Vince and SBQ are good storytellers. Tie.

Kanye West 2 Part-Post (Revised Top Songs & Album Ranking)

1.       Gold Digger- To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol. 2.       All Falls Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled him to superstardom in 2004. 3.       Jesus Walks- A controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years. 4.       Can’t Tell Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample are pure genius. 5.       Power- The aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...

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

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
