SGB Book Questions and Answers (Warning Minor Spoilers)


SGB Questions

Question: Who would win a in a duel between David Surf or Douglas Rakan?


Explanation: We never got to see this duel in Chronicles…


Answer:

1.       It is extremely difficult to determine who would win this duel. Stats wise they match up well. In fact it’s pretty even. Rakan has better focus ability, but Surf is stronger and has more vitality. Surf is also faster….
2.       Next you have to look at how the two warriors stacked up in their duels they fought.
a.       Rakan fought against Tekrin Lavisco…and won. Mostly due to physicality. Then he fought against Samuel Wesley, and retreated against him…This was mostly due to the threat of having to fight more stari masters. Then he fought against Isaiah McCloud and Samuel Wesley…and lost.
b.       Surf only had 2 duels in Chronicles. He fought Henry Baswaski and basically won…although he had a little bit of help from Dekrin Lavisco. Then he fought Bobbi Kirlienko and lost. However that was mostly due to Bobbi cheating to win the duel….
c.       Lets put it together…Both warriors are physical fighters and both won against the heads of the other’s orders mostly due to that. Bobbi K isn’t as powerful overall as Henry
Baswaski….and he lost to Isaiah McCloud, who beat Bobbi K…at a younger age at that.

3.       So looking at duels didn’t help too much. To be honest, I could see this duel going both ways, even though Rakan is more powerful overall clearly. So Douglas starts the duel between him and David. The two lock swords…Surf stays aggressive, but Rakan dodges a fair share of the attacks. And while Rakan has a focus advantage, Surf stays close enough to Rakan since he’s faster. Rakan is used to overpowering his opponent but he finds himself outmatched in that category here. However Rakan ropes a dope and waits for Surf to go on the defensive, before launching his deadly Comet Shower attack…Surf cannot dodge the attack but instead fires a star shot at it….This is effective enough to allow Surf to survive the attack…but it’s too late, Rakan goes on the offensive and eventually cuts down the weakened stari master….

4.       Winner Douglas Rakan: While Surf had more physicality, he wasn’t all that much stronger…Rakan could keep him at bay in this hypothetical duel…Also David was unable to have a counter for Rakan’s focus attacks….the only way Surf could win is if he just overpowered Rakan. However I feel Rakan is too crafty to let that happen…but again I’m not saying Surf had no chance. In fact if Surf had any help (Like Dekrin Lavisco) it would be an easy win against Rakan.

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
