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

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...

My Top Video Games of all time

I've done plenty of music lists, so i think its time to pay homage to my top video games of all time. I'm only going to mention games i've played. So, if a game you like is not up here(which I guarantee a few wont be) let me know. Lets get into it.... 1)       The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time- I have praised this game so many times, and it’s all well deserved. Ocarina has great controls and the graphics were nice at the time. I really love the story, and how the game is paced. You do a side quest of some kind, which generally isn’t long, then you go to a dungeon, get an item, use that item to get further in the dungeon, then beat the boss. Ocarina is, the best Zelda, and as of right now I don’t think that’s up for discussion. There are some really good Zelda games though such as Wind Waker, ALTTP(which made my list), and some others. 2)       Final Fantasy X- Final Fantasy X….is the only FF I’ve beaten, and I’ve played F...
