Missy Elliot: Worst to Best

I'd like to rank one of the best female MCs discographies. Missy is one of my favorite rappers lets get to it....There are no wack albums in her discography but some are definitely better than others.

6) The Cookbook-Coming in last is The Cookbook. It's certainly not a bad album but I think there's too many songs that are kinda....skippable. However there's some serious heat on this album tho. The album is well produced like all her albums. The production does seem very varied compared to the sound of previous albums. "Loose Control" with Ciara and Fatman Scoop is one of her best songs honestly. The Neptunes produced "On & On" is no joke also. Notable Tracks: Loose Control, Click Clack, On & On, We Run This.

5) Da Real World-This album could have been 4th but I haven't heard it that much unfortunately. It's got a darker sound than her debut album. I remember the two singles, "Hot Boyz" and "All N My Grill" were straight bangers. "Busa Rhyme" with Eminem is another great song. I honestly like this album but like I said I haven't heard it that much. NT: She's a Bitch, Busa Rhyme, All N My Grill, Hot Boyz.

4) This is Not a Test- While I do acknowledge there is some filler on this album, there's also a lot of quality songs on it. "Pass That Dutch" has an infectious beat. Missy spits fire on "I'm Really Hot" also. The back to back songs of "Let it Bump" and "Pump it Up" are great songs. This was a great album and honestly in 2003 Missy had already proved herself as one of the best female MCs of all time. Notable Tracks: Wake Up, Pass That Dutch, I'm Really Hot, Let Me Fix My Weave, Pump It Up, Let it Bump.

3) Supa Dupa Fly-Some may say this is her best album. I feel it's definitely top 3. The album is a real trendsetter for the genre. Missy came out of the gate with gems like "Sock It 2 Me" and "The Rain". Those 2 songs are just so addictive. I really like "Pass Da Blunt" also. The Timbaland production is top notch here. Theres also a heavy R&B presence here as well. Ultimately this is a solid album but its not quite better than the best 2 albums she has. NT: Sock it 2 Me, Beep Me 911, The Rain, Pass Da Blunt.

2) Under Construction-This album is just got serious heat on it. To me there's nota skip till track 7 which is impressive. "Gossip Folks" featuring Ludacris fire. "Work It" is one of her best songs. I like the remix with 50 Cent too. The production on this album is just top notch. Honestly this album is almost as good as the number one pick. Missy really spits well on this album too. NT: Work It, Back in the Day, Funky Fresh Dressed, Gossip Folks.

1) Miss E...So Addictive- This is the quintessential Missy Elliot album. The production is as good as ever. This album has "Get Ur Freak On" which is I think her best song. "Take Away" featuring Genuine is also really good. "One Minute Man" which features Ludacris is another highlight. "4 My People" features Eve and is a great track. The only song I am not really feeling is "X-Tasy"; the rest are great. You can't forget about "Dog In Heat" which features Method Man and Redman. NT: One Minute Man, Get Ur Freak On, Dog in Heat, Take Away, 4 My People, Whatcha Gonna Do.

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good. Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

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

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways. The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
