Rap Regions Tournament Midwest Finals


Midwest Bracket

1)Kanye West vs. 2)Eminem

1st Seed Kanye: Defeated Nelly 5-1, Defeated Lupe 3-2

2nd Seed Eminem: Defeated Twista 5-0, Defeated Common 5-2

Flow-Eminem gets the nod here, but not as easily as you think. Kanye has really improved from College Dropout days. Listen to his incredible flows on MBDTF. Eminem has been A1 since day 1(except for Encore).  0-1

Delivery-Tie. Both rappers are really varied really gifted in their rhyming eloquence lol. 1-1

Albums-Kanye gets the nod here. His discography is arguably the best in any region…(besides the Game). Eminem has 2 or 3 classics depending on how you look at it, the other albums are good. Kanye has 2 classics no 3 if you include MBDTF. Everything else is pretty high too. 2-1

Story-Eminem wins here as well. I mean both can tell a story, but Eminem does it really effortlessly and more consistently. 2-2

Legacy- Actually we have a dilemma here. I want to say tie…but I don’t want to go to that. Lets break it down. Eminem was more dominant early in his career, while Kanye is more dominant in the last 5-6 years. So if you look at influence well Eminem wins that…but then again Kanye has also influenced some rappers. Hmm. These are my 2 favorite rappers.  Well…TIE 3-3

TIE = Commercial Success, Eminem wins 4-3……sheesh. *This is what got Nicki Minaj over J.Cole in Round 1 East Coast bracket lol.



Final Thought: Eminem dominated with wins over Twista and Common, but Kanye West gave him a run for his money. I think Eminem is arguably the best rapper period. Yes he does it all. It seems like if you don’t like his personal life you won’t like him as an artist though. Hes got flows, bars, etc…..SHADY!

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...
