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!

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...
