Best Rapper Ever Tournament: Round 2 (Bracket A)

Round 1 here: http://maxreviewsandthoughts.blogspot.com/2017/09/best-rapper-ever-tournament-round-1.html

 Seed 1)Kanye West vs. S5)Common: These 2 rappers worked together a lot and this will be a tough battle! Prediction, Kanye by 10 points or less.
Flow: I love Kanye’s flow….but I think overall, Common has been more consistent. (0-10)
Creativity: While I love Common’s creativity, a lot of that has been due to K.West production. Its close but I think Kanye wins this category. (10-10)
Storytelling: It’s a tie. I don’t consider Common an elite storyteller, but he’s certainly a good one. Kanye is too. (15-15)
Impact: Tough one. Both rappers have influenced the game a lot. However Kanye has the edge here. (25-15)
Collaboration: We all know both of these rappers bring heat when featured. So it’s a tie. (30-20)
Versatility: Another tie. Common is very versatile in his own right. And we all know Kanye is about as versatile as it gets. (35-25)
Albums: OOo this is tough. Let’s break it down. Let me just say both rappers have great discographies. Black America Again was better than Kanye’s last couple albums. But Common doesn’t have anything as good as MBDTF. So it’s another tie damnit. (40-30)
Comm.Suc: Common needs this category to send it to a sudden death lol. Unfortunatly he gets smoked in this category and Kanye wins. His albums have all gone platinum(Except for TLOP). Common has barely moved gold sales. (50-30)

Kanye is the winner of the Chi-Town battle with 50 points. It wasn’t as close as I thought it would be.



Seed 2)Kendrick Lamar vs. S6)Nicki Minaj: I predict Kendrick will win by over 20 points.
Flow: Kdot wins the opening cat. I mean do I really need to explain? (10-0)
Creativity: Tie. I feel both rappers are pretty creative. They are very different but yes. (15-5)
Storytelling: Kdot wins again. Sheesh its not even close. (25-5)
Impact: Now this is tough. On the surface it seems Kdot but no, Nicki is the dominant female rapper to date. Give her the cat. Win. (25-15)
Collaboration: Tie. Both rappers bring serious heat on a feature. Nicki has literally been everywhere since 2010 bruh.  (30-20)
Versatility: This is looking like a tough matchup. Tie. Both rappers excel on song types(35-25)
Albums: Kendrick wins this one in a no brainer. I mean come on all his albums are 95 plus. Nicki has no 95 albums period to date! (45-25)
Comm.Suc: Nicki wins here. Pink Friday went 3x platinum alone. (45-35)

Kendrick wins albeit barely with 45 points. It was very close….I actually had to redo this one.

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...
