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…

Kanye West 2 Part-Post (Revised Top Songs & Album Ranking)

1.       Gold Digger- To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol. 2.       All Falls Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled him to superstardom in 2004. 3.       Jesus Walks- A controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years. 4.       Can’t Tell Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample are pure genius. 5.       Power- The aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...

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...
