Best Rapper Ever Tournament: Round 2 (Bracket D)

S1)2pac vs. S4)T.I.: T.I. called himself the hottest rapper since Pac but lets see if he’s hotter lol.

Flow: These are 2 very different rappers. I feel Pac is great, but so is TIP. So Tie. (5-5)

Creativity: I feel T.I. is pretty creative, but only to a certain degree. Pac wins here. (15-5)

Storytelling: Pac destroys T.I. here. T.I. is a dirty south rapper where they don’t storytell much. (25-5)

Impact: Pac again!!!! (35-5)

Collaboration: T.I. is really effective as a guest rapper, I’d have to say even more so than Pac. (35-15)

Versatility: Tie. Both rappers are very very versatile. Yes T.I. makes more than club bagners. (40-20)

Albums: Believe it or not, T.I. has the edge here. King and Paper Trail are really good. While Pac has Me Agaisnt the World, and All Eyez on Me. Its close but the King of the South has more going on in his discography. (40-30)

Commercial Success: This is where Pac distances himself. It’s not close. All Eyez on Me went 10x platinum by itself. (50-30)

2pac wins here pretty easily with 50 points. The King was good but whats a king to a…god?

S2)The Game vs. S3)Drake: This should be exciting!

Flow: A few years ago this would be a tie….but Game is clearly progressed lyrically to all time great status. Drake isn’t bad either. (10-0)

Creativity: Drake is a pretty creative rapper. He takes this category. (10-10)

Storytelling: For a dirty south rapper, Drake is a good storyteller. So is Game. Tie. (15-15)

Impact: Hmm tough to call here. I’d say Drizzy gets the nod here. (15-25)

Collaboration: Both rappers bring serious heat! Tie. (20-30)

Versatility: Both rappers are very versatile. So…tie. Looking like a bad matchup for Game tho. (25-35)

Albums: Game destroys Drake here. His first 2 albums were a lot better than Drake’s. Drake NWTS album was borderline classic, but Game has 2 or 3 classics depending on how you look at it. (35-35)

Commercial Success: Drake has sold over 14 million albums….Unfortunately Game takes the L. (35-45)

Drake wins with 45 points and upsets Game.

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...
