Rap Regions Tournament Dirty South Finals

2)T.I. vs. 3) Drake

2^nd Seed T.I.: Beat Killer Mike4-2, Lil Wayne 4-3

3^rd Seed Drake: Beat Rick Ross 4-2, Ludacris 4-2, Big Boi 4-2…

Flow-Hmm I really like Drake and TI flows so it’s a tie. 1-1

Delivery-Another tough category. Tie again 2-2

Albums-Okay this is supposed to be a tie, but I’m going to break it down. Drake has nothing but good albums, but he only has 1 classic, TI has 2 (King and Paper Trail) so TI gets the nod here. 3-2

Storytelling-Drake gets the nod here, sure he’s singing uh rapping about the girls, but hey its effective. 3-3.

Legacy-We’re looking at a tie again, but TI wins and here’s why. He’s just been so dominant for so long, while Drake has been dominant just a few years. NO THIS IS NOT an easy decision, but what u gonna do partna?

T.I. wins 4-3

Final Thought: T.I. faced tough completion and dominated. He faced off with Killer Mike and Lil Wayne, the latter almost beat him. Fellow YMCMB rapper Drake also almost won. So he is the King of the South officially. When I think TI I think rhythmic rapping, smooth flows, and impeccable delivery. Way to go TIP.

Well that concludes our rap regions tournament. I hope you enjoyed it. Didn’t agree. Drop a comment.

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...

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: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
