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: 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

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

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...
