My Favorite Artists 2017: Rappers (part 3)

1.       Jay Z (10)-A big lift for arguably the greatest to ever do it. 4:44 is the reason he’s up here. But Jigga has long been one of my favorites.
2.       The Game (1)- I hear he’s only gonna make one more album. Well don’t rush it. I rated his last 3 albums really high. He’s got a case for best rapper of all time so far….
3.       Kanye West (2)-I’m a giant Kanye stan I admit. But he’s not my favorite as of right now….Still top 3 tho.
4.       Drake (3)-Drizzy, I like some Drizzy songs mane. More Life grew on me, and Views was also great….he needs to let his works breathe before dropping another project.
5.       Logic (18)-A HUGE jump for Logic. I consider him one of the best rappers of today’s new elite.
6.       J. Cole (5)-Cole world seems to do no wrong since 2013. I loved 4YEO and well I have been big on the last 2 projects as well before that.
7.       Kendrick Lamar (4)-Kung Fu Kenny is an all time great in the making….but DAMN wasn’t as good as his first 2 albums. Despite that tho, I’m a huge supporter of Kdot.
8.       Eminem (7)-I think Em would be higher had he dropped his new album already. Look for him to be higher next time.(in 2018)
9.       Nas (9)-I’m a real fan of Nasir Jones. Ironically he was 9 last year too lol.
10.   N.W.A. (13)-Dr. Dre and Ice Cube are 2 of my favorite artists. I like Eazy E and Mc Ren too.
11.   T.I. (8)-I know T.I. is apparently the best dirty south rapper of all time by my eyes, but that last album wasn’t enough to propel him into the top 10 for me.
12.   Lupe Fiasco (6)-Lupe Lupe Lupe. That last album, Drogas Light…was very polarizing. I like most of it tho. He’s dropped 6 spots. Not bad tho.
13.   Kid Cudi (new)-Cudder has made my lists before…but he was absent last time…and probably the time before that too. That last album PP&DS was amazing.
14.   Big Boi (new)-Big Boi is dope af. He’s left 3stacks in the dust as far as solo work goes.(You cannot dispute me on that).
15.   Common (new)-Again he’s been on my lists before, but not last time. Chi town’s Nas is amazing. Black America Again was lit af last year.
16.   Vince Staples (new)-I’m a big fan of Vince. I think when all is said and done he’ll be an all time great west coast rapper up there with The Game and Kendrick….
17.   Young Jeezy (15)-Jeezy is really good. He’s really improved from his old days. However I feel he’s running out of ad libs hahahha.
18.   Rick Ross (14)-Ross just dropped a great album this year…but he’s not one of my all time favorites. Great right now tho.
19.   Tyler the Creator(new)-I don’t think this is the first list he’s been on but he wasn’t up here last time. He always makes better albums every time he comes out.
20.   Run the Jewels (new)-Killer Mike & El-P are dope and hard hitting rappers. RTJ3 was awesome!

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

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...

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...
