Best Rapper Ever Tournament: Round 2 (Bracket B)

S1)Jay Z vs S5)Kid Cudi: It wont be easy but I think Jay will win by a at least 30 points!
Flow: I like Cudi’s flow, but Jay has arguably the best flow in any bracket….(10-0)
Creativity: Kid Cudi gets a slight nod here. He’s incredibly creative. (10-10)
Storytelling: Jay wins here. It’s not really that close….at all. (20-10)
Impact: I’d like to tell you it’s close, but nah. Jigga wins by a mile. (30-10)
Collaboration: Tie. I know sounds nuts, but Kid Cudi does well on any feature too. (35-15)
Versatility: Tie. Both rappers are really really versatile. Jay can make any kind of song, but so can Cudi. (40-20)
Albums: Do I need to go into this? No I don’t! Jay wins this cat. Too. (50-20)
Commercial Success: Its not really close. Jay wins again mane. (60-20)

Jay Z wins here with a wopping 60 points.



S2) Eminem vs. S3) Ice Cube- This should be very close. Eminem is slated to be influenced by Cube. Lets get it!
Flow: Hmm. I say tie. Why? Both rappers have great flows. Just cause Em raps faster doesn’t mean he raps better. (5-5)
Creativity: This is where it gets close. Its another tie simply because…..its about how their songs are in relation to their peers. So there you go. (10-10)
Storytelling: The casual rap fan screams Eminem here but no, my god, its another TIE! WHOA. Old Cube could really storytell. (15-15)
Impact: I’m not sure how to call this one. NWA’s best mc vs. the great white rapper. Tie lol. (20-20)
Collaboration: Em certainly has more features but Cube brings serious heat when he does collab. Desptite that tho, I’m giving this one to Eminem. (30-20)
Versatility: Em wins again. Albeit not by much at all. (40-20)
Albums: Well this is tough. Lets break it down. Em started out with 2 great albums, but Ice Cube’s first 2 albums were better. After that tho it’s kind of even. I might sound crazy but I’m giving this cat. To Cube. (40-30)
Commercial Success: Em is the most successful rapper of all time. Cube has sold well, but nah bruh. (50-30)


Eminem wins with 50 points. That was easily the oddest battle so far. Both rappers are so similar and yet so different at the same time!

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...
