Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

Eminem Breakdown Date: Early 2018 “The Real Slimshady” Rapper albums The Slimshady LP 1999 Top 3-5 Songs: My Name Is, Just Don’t Give a F***, My Fault, Guilty Conscience Album Score: Beats-3.8, Lyrics-4.2= 4 Rapper Stats: Flow-87 , Versatility-86, Relevancy-88 Rapper Rating: 87 Comments-The SLimshady LP featured a young Em, who was at the time just beginning to have popularity. The album is great, as Em paints great pictures with his rhymes. Eminem really showcases his skills throughout the album. He instantly became the best white rapper of all time. But to him, I don’t think that’s enough. The Marshall Mathers LP 2000 Top Songs: The Real Slimshady, The Way I Am, Stan, Criminal, Kill You Album Score: Beats-4.5, Lyrics-5= 4.8 Rapper Stats: F-95, V-92, R-98 RR: 95 Comments-Slim’s best album is just incredible. He storytells with the best of rappers. When he says better than 90% of you rappers out there…..maybe it was a stretch but at the ti...

Rapper Rating Breakdown Stats out of 100 for Rapper Stats out of 5 for album Rapper-Game (The Game) Date-Early 2017 “The West Coast Messiah” The Documentary 2005 Top Songs: Dreams, Hate it or Love it, How We Do, Higher, We Ain’t Album Score: Beats-4.7 , Lyrics-4 = 4.35 Rapper Stats: Flow-84, Versatility-86, Relevancy-90, Critical Acclaim-72 Rapper Rating: 83 Comments- This was one of the best debut albums a rapper has had. Game came out strong backed by Dr. Dre & 50 Cent, and a plethora of varied beats. His flow was good at this point, but there was room for improvement. Doctor’s Advocate 2006 Top Songs- Let’s Ride, Too Much, Wouldn’t Get Far, Doctor’s Advocate Album Sore: Beats-4.1 , Lyrics-4.2= 4.15 R S: F-87 , V-85 , R-88 , CA-72 R R: 83 C: The D.A. was a really good album, especially considering that Game didn’t have any help from Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. Regardless of that he came out spitting hard. I feel that its better than...

Drake “Heartbreak Drizzle” Breakdown Date: Early 2017 Rapper albums Thank Me Later 2010 Top 3-5 Songs: Over, Fancy, Find Your Love Album Score: Beats-4.2, Lyrics-4.0 = 4.1 Rapper Stats: Flow-80, Versatility-75, Relevancy-77, Rapper Rating: 77.3 Comments- Thank Me Later was a good album that hinted at Drake’s massive potential. The beats were better than the lyrics. He really was not very relevant early in his career compared to now. Take Care 2011 Top 3-5 Songs: Headlines, Lord Knows, Take Care Album Score: Beats-3.8, Lyrics-4.0= 3.9 Rapper Stats: Flow-80, Versatility-80, Relevancy-82, Rapper Rating: 80.7 Comments-This album isn’t quite as good as his debut but it’s really good. Drake was however, a better rapper on it. 2012 -Non-Album Year (+2)=82.7 Nothing Was the Same 2013 Top 3-5 Songs: Hold On We’re Going Home, Tuscan Leather, Worst Behavior Album Score: Beats-4.2, Lyrics-4.4= 4.3 Rapper Stats: Flow-84, Versatility-92,...

Rapper-Jay-z Breakdown Date: Late Summer 2013 “The God Mc”   Rapper Albums Reasonable Doubt 1996 Top 3-5 Songs: Dead Presidents II, Can’t Knock the Hustle, Aint No N**ga Album Score: Beats-4.2, Lyrics-5= 4.6 Rapper Stats: Flow-99, Versatility-87, Relevancy-91, Rapper Rating: 92.3 Comments- Jay-z’s debut album is incredible lyrically. The beats aren’t bad either. It’s obvious that from the get go, Jay would be a force in Rap. The album doesn’t really showcase his versatility but that would come later.   In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 1997 Top 3-5 Songs: The City is Mine, (Always Be My) Sunshine, Who You Wit II Album Score: Beats4.3, Lyrics-4.8= 4.55 Rapper Stats: Flow-98, Versatility-88, Relevancy-87 Rapper Rating: 91 Comments- The 2 nd album from Jay didn’t really elevate his status but it was a great album none the less. Beat wise its better than R.D.   And it’s just as deep and cohesive.   Vol. 2….Hard Kn...

Rapper-Young Jeezy Breakdown Date: Summer 2013 “The Snowman”   Rapper albums Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 2005 Top 3-5 Songs: Soul Survivor, Go Crazy, Standing Ovation, Bottom of the Map Album Score: Beats-4, Lyrics-3.2= 3.6 Rapper Stats: Flow-74, Versatility-75, Relevancy-83 Rapper Rating: 77.3 Comments- Jeezy’s first album is a “cult favorite” of mine. It has lots of good songs on it, but not much in terms of variety. However Jeezy’s ad libs are good, and the guest list is great which includes Jay-z, T.I., Trick Daddy,Bun B, and Akon. What stands out to me is that Jeezy can hold his own on most tracks without a guest rapper.   The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102 2006 Top Songs-Go Getta, I Luv It, Bury Me a G, Dreamin, 3 A.M. Album Score: Beats-4, Lyrics-3.4= 3.7 Rapper Stats: Flow-78,V-77, R-85 Rapper Rating: 80 Comments- This album is a bit harder to review than TM101. TM102 is better, even though it get...

 Rapper- Kanye West Breakdown Date: Early 2013 “Kanye-Tida”   Rapper albums The College Dropout Year: 2004 Top Songs - Jesus Walks, All Falls Down, Slow Jamz, Last Call Album Score: Lyrics-4.4 ,Beats-4.8= 4.6 Rapper Stats: Flow- 85, Versatility-94, Relevancy-83, Critical Acclaim-87 Rapper Rating- 87.3 Comments-Mr. West’s debut album is really really good. It has no real weaknesses. The beats are better than West’s lyrics, but that’s to be expected. I feel Kanye came out the gate strong, and clearly ahead of all the new rappers of 04’.   Late Registration 2005 Top Songs-Gold Digger, Touch the Sky, Diamonds From Sierra Leone, Gone, Diamond’s Remix Album Score: Lyrics-4.5, Beats-4.7= 4.6 R S: F-85, V-93, R-88, CA-85 R R: 87.8 C: Kanye avoided the sophomore slump by trying out new glossier sounds and I think, becoming a slightly better rapper. Late Registration is just as good a...
