Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

Yeezus Kanye West In Depth Review Opening Opinion: 9.5             Ah yes, I have finally gotten to Kanye’s latest album, Yeezus. Here’s a quick in Depth Review. The album starts off with On Sight, a Daft Punk produced song that hits hard. The beat is a bit much. It’s loud and features a really cool sample in the middle of the song. Musically and Lyrically this album has a lot of expectations.After all his 5 th album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was one of his(if not his) best albums.I’m going to tell you if it met those expectations.             A lot of people(For some Reason) didn’t like this album. I bet most of them just don’t like Kanye period. I mean Yeezus is a very daring title for anyone. The album then continues with the excellent Black Skinhead song. I love this song. Its high tempo, dark, and explosive. Kanye raps like a man possessed…....

Hey guys, I know I have been slackin on my blogging. As I sit here on my laptop I have decided to make another entry into "My THoughts" Series. This one is about Drake, one of my favorite rappers since 2010. The Canadian born rapper is, I think, the best rapper in YMCMB today. Yes I think Drake is clearly better than Lil Wayne at this point. Nicki Minaj is still really popular, but lets face it, she's very talented yet very limited. Back to mr. Drake. Drake seems to rap about very personal things, which most rappers these days don't do. He raps about his mother, his uncle, his ex girl friends, more ex girl friends. One of Drake's quotes was that he only cares about, "Rappin and Bitches". Well I know you have to throw money in there also. Let me rewind. Yes all the way back to 2009. When Drake first came out I didn't like him that much. I remember when my Drake playlist on my Ipod was a mere 4 songs! Yea now its over 60 easily. So what do I th...

Beyonce has returned after the lackluster 4 album. On this album her approach is a lot different. She Is very sexy on this album, which at first kind of reminds me of Rihanna’s territory, but she is still classy with it. Beyonce worked with a lot of producers on this album and its apparent. The only real guests on the album are Jay-z and Drake. I personally preferred Drake’s cameo a lot more than Jigga’s. Anwyays I feel this is a complete album that Beyonce can fall back on for a while. She’s the queen of modern day R&B. Overall Rating 99 Grade A+ Lyrics 25 Beats 25 Depth 25 Tilt 24

Wassup yall. This is another My Thoughts blog. I might step on some toes with this blog post but im just gonna keep it 100 on this one. here is a list and breakdown of several rappers that are grouped into 3 categories: The good rappers, the bad rappers, and the elite rappers. No these aren't in order, but I put them in the categories that I feel they belong too. The Good Aite let's start with some good rappers in 2014. They are consistent and noteworthy. Kendrick Lamar-He is one rapper that will likely be Elite before all is said and done. He is a great lyricist with a lot of creativity. One of the things about him that I really like is he has no GIMMICK. 50 was shot, Kanye had the accident....but with K Dot its just raw rappin. Drake-I didn't like Drake when he first came out, but by mid 2010 I became a fan of Drake's. He is a singing rapper, who in my opinion is very similar to Ja Rule, but of course hes a better lyricist. Kid Cudi-One of my favorite...

N64 -The N64 was a terrific system at the time of its release. It was superior to the Playstation 1....although many games came out for both systems. I really like the N64, or course back then game systems were just that; and the N64 was designed to do just that. Zelda Ocarina of Time - I already blogged about this game. Its not only the best N64 game but its also the best game period. From the stellar story, to great gameplay,. sound and controls. Ocarina reigns supreme. Its never too hard, nor is it too easy. Goldenye 007 -A terrific FPS.....that quite honestly was the blueprint for the shooters that would come after it. This game had tremendous style, not to mention a 4 player multi player mode which was incredibly fun. My only dislike is that some stages bordered on unbeatable without codes. Super Mario 64 - This is another game for the 64 that was a benchmark. Yes it seems every adventure game has been compared to this game in some form or fashion. Its not an easy game, esp...

Video Game of the Year Awards  Eligible Games: These will be limited to games I have played. I am not including certain games due to I haven’t played that much or I don’t care for them(THE LAST OF US). Here are the games that made me stay in the house this year. My biggest regret is I didnt play all of them as much as I wanted to...... ·          Pikmin 3 - Perhaps the most addictive game i played this year. Pikmin 3 is cute, but its far from easy. You have to collect fruit to stay alive or not get a gameover. So I think this adds another element of difficulty to the game. Rarely did I find myself  losing all my Pikminn, but i found myself out of fruit a lot.  ·          Grand Theft Auto V- GTA five is an excellent game. I feel almost like its a bit much to be honest. I dont like GTA games that much anymore but I had to give this one a try. Its got enough new features to keep ...

As you know i had a previous post about the best rappers from earlier on in the year. Now ive compiled a non blogged list for the 2nd half...here's the list of my top favorite rappers......... Criteria is an album from late 2012-to late 2013 among other things like guest spots, and general popularity. Enjoy the dopeness. If i missed a rapper comment your pick(s). Eminem- I didnt know if Eminem had it in him, but he released the years best rap album. He just lyrically is above everyone else. Yes really. Eminem is an elite rapper who noone wants to beef with. Slimshady will continue to be a force in the rap game till he quits.  Kanye West- Mr. West is always up near the top of my lists. Yeezus is a great album, with minor flaws.Overall though, 2013 was a great year for Kanye. Personal life aside, i think Kanye is now an elite rapper just like Nas and Jay-z....and oh yeah #1. Drake- The new best rapper in Young Money is Drizzy. He really impressed me this year with NWTS. The...
