Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

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...

Note: This list has been known to fluctuate but I feel the rappers listed are my all time favorites. Lets get into it! Honorable Mention: J. Cole, Logic, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, Lupe Fiasco 10) Nicki Minaj & Drake : It may seem odd to see 2 rappers in the top 10 spot but I feel both rappers have not only revolutionized the game but also held Young Money down in Lil Wayne's absence. Nicki is in my opinion the most dominant female rapper we've ever seen. Drake is perhaps the greatest pop rapper we've ever seen minus Kanye West. Top Albums: Pinkprint & Queen/Nothing Was the Same , Views 9) 2pac: It may seem odd to have 2pac this far back but the GOAT is...not my favorite rapper. My statement revealed alot if you've been following my rap debate courtrooms. I feel Pac just had the complete package. He could make gangster anthems, love songs, and conscious rap songs too. Top Albums: Me Agaisnt the World, All Eyez on Me 8) Ludacris: Ludacris is one of m...

Seed 1)Jay Z vs. Seed 8)Jadakiss Flow: Both are great flowers but I feel Jigga gets the nod here. (10,0) Creativity: Tie. While Jay Z is great, Jada’s music is equally as creative. i.e. Neither rapper is extremely creative actually. (15,5) Storytelling: Hmm. Its another tie. I feel Jada is a decent storyteller. Jigga man isn’t a great storyteller so there. (20,10) Impact: A no brainer Jay is a more impactful MC. Hell he’s the most in this bracket I think….maybe. (30,10) Collaboration: Tie. Before you cry foul, consider Jay isn’t always on point in his features…but then again, who is? Jada ties him here. (35,15) Versatility: HOVA might be the most versatile rapper in this tournament, so yeah. (45,15) Albums: More contestested than you think, but Jay wins again. Man Jada…. (55,15) Commercial Success: Not even close. HOVA baby!!!! (65,15) Jay Z wins with a wopping 65 points! Jada just got unlucky with the seeding I guess. Seed 2)Eminem vs. Seed 7)Pusha T Flow:...

  Seed 1) Kanye West vs. Seed 8)Young Jeezy Flow: Both rappers have improved flows. I’m going to say that this is a tie. (5,5) Creativity: Kanye takes this easily. He’s one of the more creative rappers of all time. (15,5) Storytelling: This isn’t so clear cut, but again Kanye wins….. (25,5) Impact: I think this is a tie. Both rappers have been very influential to the game. While Kanye is more of a pop rapper, Jeezy is a trap rap founder. (30,10) Collab: I’m giving this one to Jeezy. He rarely ever never shows up as a guest artist on a track. (30,20) Versatility: I’m really feeling Kanye here. Both rappers are pretty versatile, but Mr. West is one of the most versatile rappers. (40,20) Albums: This one is rather clear cut, although Jeezy’s albums are all pretty damn good. Kanye’s albums are just overall better minus 808s and Heartbreak (50,20) Comm. Success: Well Jeezy sells well, but you know Kanye takes this one….he’s very commercially successful. (60,20) With 6...
