Best Rapper Ever Tournament: Bracket Finals (C & D)

The categories are the same but if not a tie, then a category can be split 7-3 or 6-4 also.


Bracket C

The Notorious B.I.G. vs. Nas-Another predicted matchup and a rematch…Nas won last year…lets get it!
Flow: Tie. There’s no way I can give leverage to either rapper here, flow wise. (5-5)
Creativity: Biggie was very creative, but I’ve got to give Nas a 6-4 edge here. (9-11)
Storytelling: As a great a storyteller as Nas is, Biggie was also that great. Tie. (14-16)
Impact: Ooo sh** that’s hard to call. Both are all time greats for sure. I’d have to say Biggie has meant a lil more to the game, but it’s close ie. 6-4 split. (20-20)
Collaboration: Biggie wins this category 7-3. He literally always gets the job done, but not enough to give him all 10 points. (27-23)
Versatility: Biggie is really really versatile. But so is Nas…tie….f*** it. (32-28)
Albums: This is where having more albums comes in handy. Nas wins this category decisively. (32-38)
Commercial Success: Biggie’s Life After Death sold 10 mil by itself….Nas has sold a lot too. Nas albums all sell between 2 and 1 million. But lately only Gold his last 2 albums. Biggie wins this cat. (42-38)

Ohhhh! Biggie smalls wins with 42 points. Close Battle!



Bracket D

2pac vs. Drake
Flow: Pac should win this…but not enough to get the full points. Drizzy has always had a pretty good flow. (7-3)
Creativity: While Drake is a really creative rapper….Pac wins this cat. Too with a 6-4 split. (13-7)
Storytelling: Pac. Its close but not close enough to give Drake any points. Brenda’s Got a Baby…nuff said. (23-7)
Impact: Pac wins here…albeit its not close this time. (33-7)
Collaboration: Drake wins this category….he’s just been everywhere and an effective rapper too. (33-17)
Versatility: Pac has it all, but don’t sleep on Drake….Pac still has the adv. Tho. (40-20)
Albums: Hmm. Pac has 2 albums better than anything Drizzy has ever done imo. Drake’s best album, Nothing Was The Same wasn’t quite on the level of All Eyez on Me or Me Against the World….still Drake’s albums are good so, 6-4 split. (46-24)
Commercial Success: Pac (drops the mic) lol. (56-24)

Well that was the only battle in Round 3 to not be close. It was a horrible matchup for Drake….who upset The Game in Round 2. I don’t think Game would have done much better tho…

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

Video Game Review: Jedi Fallen Order

 I meant to review this game way back in the day when I first beat it but this is coming after my 2nd play-through. This time I played the game on hard difficulty and man was it tough. Compared to Jedi Survivor I think the game has a better story. You join Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he escapes a scrapyard planet Bracca , fleeing from the Empire. Cal comes face to face with an Inquistor called 2nd sister. You end up fighting her a total of 4 times in the game.  The main story is Cal must help a former Jedi named Cere and her pilot Greez to find a Jedi holocron that has a list of force sensitive children to rebuild the Jedi Order. I gotta say the planets you visit are all for the most part pretty flushed out . I found Zeffo to be the main planet and navigating it is truly awful. Well I’m glad they made navigation better in Jedi Survivor. Of all the planets Dathomir (Darth Mauls planet) was by far the worst. There was tough enemies around every corner there and hard boss fights w...

Album Review: Clipse- Let God Sort Em Out

Well I didn't rush this review, I've had some time to sit with this album. It's a hell of a comeback album. Pusha T and Malice are deadly as ever on the mic. The album lyrically is intense. Production is pretty good too but I expected slightly more from an album produced entirely by Pharrell Williams. Speaking of Pharrell, he's all over this album...sometimes not just relegated to a hook. The album gets off to a great start with "The Birds Don't Sing" where both brothers talk about their parents who passed. Pusha T raps about his Mom. Malice about his dad. I really liked the vibe of "All Things Considered"; the The-Dream feature is good. That brings me to the features....like a monster one from Kendrick Lamar on "Chains & Whips". Tyler the Creator does well on "P.O.V.". Nas is on the 2nd last track and he does well too. "M.T.B. T. T. F." is fire, and it stands for Mike Tyson Blow to the Face lol. Ultimately its h...
