Best Rap Albums of 2017 (2nd Half)-July to December

*I could not get to all the album in time to put some on this list, but they'll be there on the year ends list*

1.       Big K.R.I.T.: 4eva is a Mighty Long Time (98)-In our 2nd half albums BK reigns supreme. The album is amazing. Everything works. The duality of the album works. The production works, his hooks are fire. The real question is will it be #1 or #2 on the final list for 2017.
2.       Tyler the Creator: Flower Boy (95)- Another terrific album and the best TtC album to date. I loved almost every song here. The production is amazing and great lyrics too. Where does he go from here?
3.       Cyhi The Prynce: No Dope On Sundays (95)-This album much awaited, and it delivered. Cyhi proves he’s a great rapper. I gotta hear this one some more ya feel me….
4.       Rapsody: Lalia’s Wisdom (94)-I was really feeling this album. So friggin soulful mane. Her rhymes rival some of the best MCs…..she might be the best female rapper today.
5.       Talib Kweli: Radio Silence (93)-Talib doesn’t surprise me anymore. He is an alltime great rapper. Check this one out.
6.       Action Bronson: Blue Chips 7000 (92)-This one grew on me. It is dope af. His bars and punchlines are great and put him above the next 3 albums(at least on this list).
7.       G-Eazy: The Beautiful & Damned (92)-G-Eazy’s best album and it not that close. It’s just executed better than his first 2 albums.
8.       Eminem: Revival (92)-#8 Eminem? Well Recovery in 2010 had a similar spot. It’s good but not as good as I expected lol. This will do tho for now.
9.       Vic Mensa: The Autobiography (92) -Official debut albums are important. This one was great and introspective.

10.   Meek Mill: Wins & Losses(89)-I know you can’t spell Meek Mill without 2 L’s but there’s a lot of W’s on this good album.

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,...

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: 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...
