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: 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

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

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...
