Rap Region Tournament: Midwest Bracket Round 1

Kanye West vs. Nelly:  The great back pack rapper vs. the great pop rapper
Flow: Now this is interesting. Nelly has a solid flow and is really consistent, while Kanye has had the occasional stuggle bar(s) lol. Nelly.
Delivery: Kanye wins this category. He’s got some solid delivery. Nelly isn’t half bad tho.
Albums: Okay this one isn’t close….Nelly has some good albums, but nothing classic level. Kanye runs away here.
Storytelling: Kanye gets the nod again as Nelly is a pop rapper.
Legacy: Kanye!!!!



Kanye wins 4-1

Royce da 5’9’’ vs. Kid Cudi: Polar opposites go at it.
F-This is harder than it looks. Royce is a great lyricist but he’s pretty equal to Cudi flow wise….TIE
D-This is also tough. Both rappers are pretty distinctive…well its another tie.
A-Royce wins this one…but not easily. Mostly due to the fact his last album Is great, Kid Cudi’s last one is very odd and average.
S-Royce can story tell, but its not really his proficiency. Cudi is kind of a better storyteller in his own way.  Cudi
L-Hmm Royce has been doin his thing for many years, but I just cant help but feel like he’s in Em’s shadow clearly. Kid Cudi has 3 really solid bodies of work legacy wise he edges out Royce. CUdi



Kid Cudi wins 5-3

Lupe vs. MGK: Fast spitters go at it.
F-Machine Gun Kelly has a decent flow, but Lupe is one of the best in any region flow wise. Lupe
D-While Lupe has decent delivery, I feel MGK really brings some dope energy on his bards. MGK.
A-This is insane, Lupe has arguably 3 classics under his belt compared to 2 decent MGK albums. LUPE.
S-MGK isn’t a bad or great storyteller, but Lupe has proven to get that done in many ways,..LUPE
L-Lupe wins again….


Lupe Fiasco wins 4-1


Eminem vs. Twista: These 2 can rap so fast!
F-This is cool because Twista and Em can both rap fast, but Twista does it more, Em does it less; Em wins due to the fact he raps in so many different ways easily.
D-Eminem wins. Soemetimes Twista raps too damn fast.
A-Eminem easily. MMLP 1 & 2 nuff said.
S-Eminem is one of the best storytellers  in the game. Twista’s style isn’t bad but he doesn’t excel at that like Nelly.
L-Twista has been relevant longer but Eminem sweeps him.


Eminem wins 5-0

Big Sean vs. Tech N9ne: Oppiste styles, good battle…
F-Tech is a proficient rapper, while Big Sean only shows flashes of flowing brilliance. Tech.
D-Big Sean was a monotone rapper for most of his career….Tech has exciting delivery….Tech again.
A-I really like Big Sean’s albums, even tho’s TN’s are good…Big Sean.
S-This is tough…..its  a tie.
L-While one rapper is incredibly commercial, the other isn’t hmm…Tie.


Tech N9ne wins 4-3

Common vs Danny Brown
F-Both are really good, it’s a tie.
D-Danny Brown has 2 voices on his album I heard which is impressive, but I feel Common has better delivery. Common.
A-Common wins this category but not as easily as you think.
S-Tie.
L-Common. He’s done more and more well known in the game.



Common wins 5-2

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,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

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...
