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!

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Album Review: Kanye West- Donda 2

This was another Kanye album I wasn't too hype to listen to cause of its bad reputation. I am glad he put it on traditional music services.The album was available on this weird music player thing in 2022 at first. Kanye raps alot about his ex wife Kim Kardashian here. I know he did on Donda 1, but he does it a lot more here. The song "Get Lost" feels empty and is so boring. "Security" has a weird beat...I mean it's too weird for its own good.  I really like "Keep the Flowers", its got a nice beat to it.I liked "Too Easy" as well. "City of God" is arguably the best song....Alicia Keys does a great job, as does Five Foreign. A different version of "530" is here as well. I enjoyed "Pablo" too which features Future and Travis Scott. Ultimately its an average album....but it wasn't that bad overall. However it did fall woefully short of the first Donda 2 which was great. Lyrics 18 Beats 21 Depth 18 Tilt 18 Ver...

Video Game Review: Jedi Fallen Order

 I meant to review this game way back in the day when I first beat it but this is coming after my 2nd play-through. This time I played the game on hard difficulty and man was it tough. Compared to Jedi Survivor I think the game has a better story. You join Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he escapes a scrapyard planet Bracca , fleeing from the Empire. Cal comes face to face with an Inquistor called 2nd sister. You end up fighting her a total of 4 times in the game.  The main story is Cal must help a former Jedi named Cere and her pilot Greez to find a Jedi holocron that has a list of force sensitive children to rebuild the Jedi Order. I gotta say the planets you visit are all for the most part pretty flushed out . I found Zeffo to be the main planet and navigating it is truly awful. Well I’m glad they made navigation better in Jedi Survivor. Of all the planets Dathomir (Darth Mauls planet) was by far the worst. There was tough enemies around every corner there and hard boss fights w...
