Rap Regions Tournament Midwest Semifinal


Kanye West vs. Lupe Fiasco: Can you say Chi city

F-Lupe gets the nod here. Kanye does have a great flow, but Lupe is arguably the best here in any region…

D-Kanye gets the nod this time. Great delivery. Unique also.

A-Kanye again. Not an easy choice. MBDTF and TS&Y cancel out. After that tho, Kanye has a clear advantage.

S-Lupe wins here. Really tough tho, but yeah….

L-Kanye and Lupe were once just known as backpack rappers….Kanye is more influential and gets the nod here, but not by much.

Kanye wins 3-2





Eminem vs. Common: Hmm

F-Tie. Here me out…yes Em is a lyrical juggernaut but Common is just as good in this cat.

D-Eminem, he is just too varied, too good in this cat.

A-Em gets the nod here, but not as easily as you’d think. MMLP 1 & 2 put him over the top.

S-Tie. Common is a proficient story teller as well. Em cant edge him out there.

L-Chai Town’s Nas, comes up short here, Eminem again. The white boi has changed rap.

Eminem wins 5-2

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

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...

My Top Video Games of all time

I've done plenty of music lists, so i think its time to pay homage to my top video games of all time. I'm only going to mention games i've played. So, if a game you like is not up here(which I guarantee a few wont be) let me know. Lets get into it.... 1)       The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time- I have praised this game so many times, and it’s all well deserved. Ocarina has great controls and the graphics were nice at the time. I really love the story, and how the game is paced. You do a side quest of some kind, which generally isn’t long, then you go to a dungeon, get an item, use that item to get further in the dungeon, then beat the boss. Ocarina is, the best Zelda, and as of right now I don’t think that’s up for discussion. There are some really good Zelda games though such as Wind Waker, ALTTP(which made my list), and some others. 2)       Final Fantasy X- Final Fantasy X….is the only FF I’ve beaten, and I’ve played F...
