Female R&B Tournament-FInals

1)     Beyonce’ vs. 3)Rihanna: This is it. The final round! I kinda predicted that these 2 would meet up. Both are really talented, have lots of sales, and have great albums. There can only be one winner lets go.

Vocal Ability-Tough to call but Beyonce’ has as slight edge here 6-4

Albums-While the best Beyonce’ albums are slightly better than Rihanna’s best I don’t think that’s much of a difference. And Rihanna has more quality albums to me. 4-6

Collaboration-I feel it’s a solid tie here. Both artist have great collabos…5-5

Versatility-Both these artists are extremely versatile. They excel at pretty much any kind of song. Both ladies can rap a bit too. It’s a tie I believe. 5-5

Impact-My job just isn’t getting any easier. I feel Beyonce’s music is a tad bit more impactful. She seems to have defined the genre a little more. It’s still a close split tho. 6-4

Comm. Success-Rihanna wins here no doubt but the question is how big is the split. I’ll say 3-7 cause Queen B hasn’t sold quite as much as Mariah Carey did….

 

Beyonce’ has 29 /Rihanna has 31! So Rihanna is the champion! It was a very close battle in this round but ultimately sales played a part in her even getting to this round. Queen B had her reign, but the #1 seed lost. This tournament has been hard to do but a lot of fun!

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on  Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
