From Worst to Best: Drake

Heartbreak drizzle!




8)
What a Time to Be Alive (84)-Drake’s collaboration with Future is his worst album and its just a collection of songs that don’t really be about much of nothing special. Still catchy tho. If you like Future you won’t mind these songs. Top Tracks: Jumpman, Big Rings, Digital Dash.


7)
Take Care (87)-Take Care…mufu**in Take Care. Some songs have grown on me, but to me, this is Drake’s weakest solo body of work. Its too sappy, some songs are too long. However there are some serious gems here like “Headlines”. “Take Care” with Rihanna is hawt, and so is “Lord Knows” with Rick Ross. To me this is the most Drake Drake album lol. TT: Make Me Proud, Lord Knows, The Motto, Headlines, Crew Love, Marvin’s Room.


6)
Thank Me Later (89)-The album that made me a Drizzy fan…yeah you read right. The album is loaded with star power…how could Drake fail? He didn’t! I think he didn’t balance his singing that well with the rapping here, but it was his first official album. “Over” is my favorite song, but the best might be “Miss Me” with Lil Wayne or “Light Up” with Jay Z. The production is better than Take Care’s imo. Top Tracks: Fancy, Over, Fireworks, Miss Me, Light Up.


5)
If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (90)- I wasn’t expecting this mixtape…uhh album, to be so fire. His lyricism is improved here. Drake sounds very confident. Songs like “Legend” are him executing the singing and the rapping together perfectly. It is, primarily, a rap album. I don’t like every song but this was damn good. “Energy” nuff said. TT: 6 God, 6 Man, Legend, Energy.


4)
More Life (92)- I must admit at the time of writing this, I haven’t heard this album that many times. It’s not cause I don’t like it it’s cause I have been listening to so many other things. It’s sort of like a Views part 2…but Views has better singles, that’s all. His lyrics are good here and its pretty creative sounding. I apologize for not recommending any tracks here. Again I have to listen more to tell you what the top tracks are…..


3)
Views (93)-Don’t sleep on Views, it’s a great album. Albeit very flawed. Subject matter wise it’s kind of stale...and some songs sound too similar. However, it has “Hotline Bling” and “One Dance”. There’s lots of good songs here. Drake raps pretty well over great production. “9” is the best of the solo rap songs on this album by a mile. “Pop Style” is also pretty good. If you’re not a fan of Drizzy you wont enjoy this, it’s that simple folks. Top Tracks: Pop Style, Grammys, Hotline Bling, 9, One Dance, Too Good.


2)
So Far Gone (93)- I felt this mixtape was a tad bit better than Views. I mean it has lots of catchy songs. And his breakout hit, “Best I Ever Had”. You cannot beat that. When Lil Wayne shows up its fire. The Santigold sample on “Unstoppable” is just that…Unstoppable. I really like how he sings here, even if it is really autotuned. It just seems better than on Thank Me Later or Take Care.


1)
Nothing Was the Same (96)-This is Drake’s best album, and its not even close! There’s not a lot of features which may say something. Drake spits well, albeit not his best ever. The songs are really catchy like “Started From the Bottom” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home”. The production is also lit. My favorite song is “Tuscan Leather”. His lyriscism is on full display. Drake raps rather angrily too, which was fresh in 2013. I am confident Drizzy can top this album…but he’s gotta Work, Work, Work…lol Top Tracks: Wu Tang Forever, Worst Behavior, Tuscan Leather, Pound Cake, Hold On We’re Going Home.

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

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

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
