My Favorite of Albums for 2018

*Note* You wont see some albums here cause I only listed albums I heard, so no Carter V yet.

Jay Z and Beyonce' (The Carters)-Everything is Love: A terrific album. The chemistry between the two is incedible. I love how it sounds kind of like the classic albums from the 2002-2007 era. The songs "Nice", "Ape S***" and "Black Affect" are very good.
5 stars

Logic- Bobby Tarentino II-This one really grew on me. Logic spits that "T**ty rap" and its dope. I love the way he attacks tracks with ferocity on the mic.
4.5 Stars

Kanye West-Ye-This crazy man makes good music! Ye was short and sweet. It sounds kinda like
4 stars

Janelle Monae-Dirty Computer: This was the best album of last year. It hit all the points I look for. I'm so happy Janelle kept us waiting for this masterpiece.
5 Stars

Nas-Nasir- Nasty Nas returned. But not with the rumored Trillmatic. Instead he came with a terrific 7 song album. Songs like "Cop Shot the Kid" and "White label" are dope af.
4.5 Stars

Pusha T-DAYTONA: King Push came with a very strong 7 song album. He disses Drake hard on the last song "Infared". He went hard on this album which honestly doesn't surprise me.
4.5 stars

Nicki Minaj-Queen: Nicki latest album is one of her best. Its varied and inventive. Nicki lets her influences really shine here. I mean like Anime and Old School rap: "Nip Tuck" and "Barbie Dreams" respectively. Nicki shows supreme confidence on the mic here.
4.5 Stars

Eminem-Kamikaze-Eminem was really mad on this album. But ironically the target this time..was his fans...smh. Regardless the flows were really good. I liked his Revival album better
4.5 Stars

T.I.- Dime Trap: T.I's latest album sounds really energetic and proud. I love his approach on his songs. Its TIP as usual but a brand new way to present it. I guess sometimes if it ain't broken no need to fix it.
4.5 stars

Ariana Grande-Sweetner: This album is really...how do you say, SWEET? I love it! "God is a Woman" is a provocative and awesome. The album has well used guests spots which include Missy Elliot, Pharrell Williams, and Nicki Minaj.
4.5 stars

Kanye West & Kid Cudi (Kids See Ghost)-I haven't heard much of this album but I really like what I've heard.
4.5 stars

Logic- YSIV: Logics return to the boom bap sounnd is awesome and awe inspiring!
4.5 stars

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 ...

Kanye West Albums Ranked (2026 Revision)

16) Vultures 2 (72)- It should be no surprise this album is the worst of the bunch. It just comes off as lazy and uninspired most of the time. The production is decent tho. “Bomb” features Yuno Miles and his daughters: North and Chicago West…..and it's really corny. “Husband” is just god awful. I don’t know what he was going for with that one! “Fried” is pretty dope tho….and you can see the potential of “530”. 15) Donda 2 (75) - I haven’t had a lot of time to sit with this one. It’s not that bad tho…in fact it’s kind of average. I really like “City of God” which features Alicia Keys and Five Foreign. Sure lyrically its not great but the production again isn’t bad. Ultimately I feel like this has little to do with the first Donda album…. 14) 808s and Heartbreak (83) - You may be shocked to see this still near the bottom of his discography. While I bumped the score up a little from last time, I still feel 808’s isn’t all that. I love “Heartless” as it’s probably the best song. “Love...
