Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

Kendrick Lamar burst on the scene in 2011 with a very good debut album Section 80. While Section 80 was really good, this album outdoes it in every aspect. The album is very well excuted as Kdot tells a story throughout the album. Yes after this there will be comparisons to 2 Pac, and rightfully so. The thing is the Game might not be the best rapper out west anymore, as this album is better than Game’s albums. He’s done it with decent beats and great   lyrics.   This album has some real bangers like The Recipe, Swimming Pools(Drank), Money Trees, good Kid, and the infectious Backseat Freestyle. Every song is good or great. Its great to see another great rapper come out of the Westsiiide. I really will be listening to this album for quite a while.  I give this album 9.75/10. Its almost perfect.....the beats weren't phenomanal but otherwise incredible effort Kdot.

Ah Eminem has signed another white rapper……Yelawolf is a good rapper but he seems to shine on certain kinds of songs. He struggles on the “love” songs but the introspective songs are good. This is not an easy album to review. The guest spots are well used such as Eminem, Gangsta Boo, Kid Rock, Lil Jon, and others. This album has a southern feel to it, but it doesn’t sound like your typical dirty south album. Overall this is a good debut album. I look forward to hearing more of that Bama slang lol.   I'm going to give this album a 8/10. Its not bad for a debut album.       Man this guy is young. I’m older than him…..He is not a bad lyricist but Mac Miller doesn’t really talk about much. There is no song here that is really really awesome but there’s some good tracks. I think Mac Miller just hasn’t experienced enough in life to make a very interesting album with more varied topics. Complaints aside this is a good debut album. It will be interesting t...

I think the Patriots will return to the Super Bowl(I'm dissing my Steelers but oh well) I think Avengers was the movie of the year(I haven't seen Batman yet) My favorite rap album ever (in case you were wondering) is Kanye West's Graduation album I think Obama will have a 2nd term, but this time the race will be much closer. I have to strike down what my 1st blog said(yes the very 1st one from 2011); the Nintendo 3ds is amazing and worth buying. I have bought 3 albums recently.....G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer, Pharaoh Monche's W.A.R., and Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor 2. The latter i shouldnt have bought since i had already downloaded it and the cd case was blank or just black. I think Nas will hold on to win album of the year from me, unless Kendrick Lamar, Big Boi, or Kid CUdi have something to say about it. Despite how difficult my school semester is I still find myself gettin good grades....I THINK this will continue. I am still lo...

This is Lupe’s best album yet! My biggest complaint is that when u buy the album I don’t see any information about the album’s booklet. With that aside, Lupe raps like he had something to prove after the somewhat disappointing L.A.S.E.R.S. album. The result is another extraordinary lyrical performance from Chai-town’s best lyricist.   I like every song here. The album is complex, and has great subject matter, and the beats aren’t bad either. I really ITAL(Roses), Lamborghini Angels, and Cold War. Lupe gives you a lot to think about on this album. Overall Great American Rap album is just the album Lupe needed to silence the haters that say he had fallen off. Overall i give this album 9.5/10,  Great job LUPE!

  Okay so i basically made this list about 2 years ago. I never finished it. I'm going to look at it in retrospect. In other words you'll find some comments on the album that you wouldnt have found in 2010. Enjoy!     10)Drake-Thank Me Later: This was one of my favorite albums in 2010. I believe it’s better than Take Care for a couple reasons. The features are more varied, and I don’t have to skip any songs really. Drake’s debut album is basically about his adjustment to stardom. Ironically Drake has the #10 spot on my best rap albums of 2011 blog also..   9) B.o.B.-The Adventures of Bobby Ray: This album was a real treat for me. It was way better than I expected it to be. B.o.B’s debut is a very creative album. The album maybe a little too popish for some but ultimately its just a nudge above the 10 th album on this list. 8) Rick Ross- Teflon Don: This is, in my opinion, Ross’s best album to date. It starts out great and doesn’t let up mu...

The 2 nd album by NY’s Greatest rapper of all time, isn’t far behind the 1 st one. There is filler, but the filler is really good. I feel that Biggie spoke of death a little too much but then again, being the true King of NY. He dominates with a flow and delivery that is unrivaled by any rapper dead or alive. Overall I think he was not in his prime when he made this album. It’s sad when a young supremely talented rapper dies. The album is filled with great songs. Some sound similar but I will call that cohesiveness. If it weren’t for a few songs this would be just as good as Ready to Die. Overall I give this album 9.5/10. Its a groundbreaking Eas Coast Rap album. Sippin on booz in the house of blues....BIGGIE!

Kanye West & G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer Track by Track Review   To the World- “ R.Kelly and the God of Rap sh**in on you, Holy crap,” raps Kanye on this first track. It’s really catchy. Teyana Taylor does a nice job also. This song is a decent opener. 8.5/10   Clique- This is one of my favorite songs on the album. It’s even better than 3 Kings from the Rick Ross album in my opinion. Big Sean goes first and raps over this dope and dark beat. Jay-z is the star of this song. I haven’t heard him rap this hard since Blueprint 3. Kanye finishes up the song with a cool verse. 9.5/10   Mercy- The lead single is pretty interesting. There’s a lot of different elements here that make it more than just another rap song with more than 3 rappers on it. Big Sean goes first and does a good job with lines like “Ass-State” & “Ass-quake” lol. Then Pusha T goes next with a hot verse….he uses “Ho” a lot. Then Kanye steals the show with an exciting cha...
