#1 Song This Week One Year Ago- Fall Out Boy- The Last Of The Real Ones (2nd/2 weeks)

Blurb Hurts
~This was quite the week, wasn't it?

~Hopefully we have a nice 7-week exit next week because now majority if not all of the older songs are now in the Bottom 10.

~Goodbyes made some movement this week if you compare to the other jumps of +1 and +2 and I hope its #10 and doesn't hit #11 like Sunflower which was screwed over completely.

~Find U Again takes a nice drop into the Bottom 10 so I think this is the end of its short-lived run.

~One Thought Away makes really good movement. It's a very underrated song and deserves to be pushed like...Sexual Vibe yeah push to Top 20.

My Top 10 Favorite Epic Rap Battles of History

Well um, this is quite a random post so yeah. Don't come at me making this random post or what's contained, please that would be appreciated. Anyways, yeah if you don't Epic Rap Battles is a youtube by Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD and to be honest, they are quite talented and do a lot to put out wholesome content. Anyways, we'll start.

10. Mozart vs. Skrillex (Season 2)
Man, this is really good. They just go back and forth about their music and personality and it's quite funny. However, Mozart just keeps going on his music and it's really good on what he puts down. Saying that there's more complexity in a couch from IKEA than Skrillex's music. Skrillex just can't put a fight so here Mozart wins.
Winner: Mozart

9. Gandhi vs. Martin Luther King (Season 3)
Woah this was out of nowhere. The production is great and Gandhi goes off of Martin Luther King saying he plagiarized his speech for his and talks about how he needs to eat better in his next verse. MLK uses punchlines and makes his comeback weak and especially his last lines are just weak and yes I know he's very religious but it just didn't work in the flare of this battle.
Winner: Gandhi

8. Santa Claus vs. Moses (Season 2)
Well, this was interesting since Snoop Dogg was Moses and this was really funny. Santa starts to talk about himself and what he's like but wow Snoop Do- I mean Moses comebacks hard and the line that won it was simply "You took the Christ out of Christ-mas and added more mass" yikes and calling his elves "slave". His elves take the majority of his second verse saying "Here's A GPS...who gets lost for 40 years?", wow. Anyways, Moses just holds up the whole time and easily takes it. Anyways, the production is great and it flows very well.

7. Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates (Season 2)
This used to my favorite when I first viewed this channel and it's still good. Steve Jobs just talks about how Apple is simply better than Microsoft. And Bill just does the same. Next, they go back and forth about why their companies are better than the others. Soon enough Steve "dies" and comes back as HAL 9000 which I have no idea what that is but yeah because once he leaves Bill just starts a flex-fest but gets shut down by HAL 9000 so yeah. The production is great and sounds well and fits the theme.
Winner: HAL 9000/Steve Jobs

6. Wayne Gretzky vs. Tony Hawk (Season 5)
Well, first I got to say this production is awesome. Tony starts by simply trash-talking about Wayne and how he snorts cocaine and how his team always defend him. Wayne comes back and talks about his wife and then says "You're on your fourth wife, talk about the X Games".  Next, Tony comes back weak just simply saying how his rhymes are lame and that hockey sucks. However, Wayne murders him saying that they've set 184 records but Wayne has set 183 of them that just closed it down.
Winner: Wayne Gretzky

5. Gordon Ramsay vs. Julia Child (Season 5)
Well, this was crazy. Gordon comes in and simply trash-talks Julia. Soon enough Julia talks and then says how he's a douche and that how his food is just straight-up trash. Soon enough Gordon comes and then gets to the cooking saying she's the master of heart disease and who would want to cook cow brains. Julia finishes this rap saying how he's just a jerk. So basically, Gordon roasts her on the cooking as Julia roasts his personality, so it's quite hard to say who won but...
Winner: Julia Child

4. Jacques Cousteau vs. Steve Irwin (Season 6)
The battle of the conservationists. Jacques starts by talking about how he's a "sweaty showman" and lists his achievements and says "Were you killed by a fish kids pet at the aquarium" that really hits, doesn't it? Anyways, Steve comes in and talks about his physical features and how he can't handle nature at all and his scandals and then he says "Embrace your French nature and quietly surrender".
Jacques comes in and continues about his son and he almost killed him but then Steve comes back saying how his brother was a nazi. Anyways, their last verses are basically punchlines but besides this the production is great. Also, these accents are amazing.
Winner: Steve Irwin

3. Shaka Zulu vs. Julius Caesar (Season 4)
We start off with Shaka and how if he steps into Africa he'll get murdered and "F'ed more by Cleopatra in Africa". Anyways, Julius starts by saying he doesn't know who he's messing with and how he'll get easily killed by his army. Next, Shaka talks about how he gets killed by his friends and his war tactics. And what wins this even though this was the closest battle out of all these is how Julius explains his counterattack to his attack and after that hard-hitting verse, Julius says he won't kill them he rather enslave them. This production is great too.
Winner: Julius Caesar

2. Wonder Woman vs. Steve Wonder (Season 5)
This is great. Wonder Woman who is Lily Singh comes in and how Stevie stole the look and appearance from Ray Charles. Next, Stevie Wonder who is played by T-Pain out of all people talks about how "DC is a whole step down" in which in music, it is. He also goes on to says how she is Ms. Independent but how her first story is her running off with a guy. Next, Wonder Woman talks about how she wished he started drinking after listening to his music and how his videos raise vision questions. Next Stevie just simply turns it on her talking about her invisible airplane. Wonder Woman talks about he has 9 kids with 5 different mothers. However, Steve comes in with the most savage verse ever. Saying "With plots so thin, ever I can see through", and then finishes on how her tiara not coming back from this. The production is awesome too.
Winner: Stevie Wonder

Honorable Mentions:
Che Guevara vs. Guy Fawkes
Winner: Che Guevara

Rasputin vs. Stalin (vs. Lenin vs. Gorbachev vs. Putin)
Winner: Gorbachev

Napoleon Dynamite vs. Napoleon Bonaparte
Winner: Napoleon Bonaparte

George Carlin vs. Richard Pryor (vs. Bill Cosby vs. Joan Rivers vs. Robin Williams)
Winner: Robin Williams

1. Theodore Roosevelt vs. Winston Churchill (Season 5)
This one by far takes the #1 spot. The amazing production is so old-school and flows so well and fits with modern music sometimes. It easily wins that over against others. However, the verses from each are amazing. Roosevelt talks about the Panama Canal and that his rhymes are pure like his food and drugs. He then goes on to diss Winston's look and then goes on to talk about how his miserable state is the size of one state. He then talks how he needs to do-si-do on over to a twelve-step program. Winston then comes in and talks about how he'll take him out prematurely, like his family.  He then just says he'll beat him and how he is asthmatic while he can smoke all day. Roosevelt comebacks saying "My parents died, while they were young and it was morbid, but at least they didn't ditch me when they were alive like yours did" That really hurts. He then goes on how he should be ashamed of his military honor and says to change his poster to "Keep calm and kiss my cousins' ass" referring to Franklin D. Roosevelt, his cousin. Winston comes talking about how he's an overgrown Boy Scout and if Mount Rushmore was a band, he'd play bass. He then says how if a bullet to the chest stops him, his words will. Then there are two more weak lines from each which almost left this song at #2, but that beat you can't get over which edged it out over #2.
Winner: Theodore Roosevelt

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago- Fall Out Boy- The Last Of The Real Ones (1st/2 weeks)

New Entrants

~First up is Look What God Gave Her. First off, I'll say I'm surprised it even debuted, it's towards its end on all charts which is quite interesting. Anyways, the song is quite generic and old at this point since it's quite old by this point. I liked it when it first came out but it's not doing any good now.

~Next up is All The Time. I actually kind of like this. It's really good, I like her voice, the production's good, and the lyrics are quite nice. So yeah not like Ruin My Life but nice.

All The Blurbs

~Anyways if you actually took the time to look, You Need To Calm Down is now my least favorite song on here. I don't know what happened with 100 Bad Days I sort of grew into the verses but that chorus still kills the song as a whole.

~I guess it's a good thing older song are moving towards the bottom. Sweet But Psycho, Happier, High Hopes, This Feeling, Without Me, Here With Me, and Let Me Down Slowly all in the Bottom 10 with the addition of Bad Liar which has spent some time here and One Thought Away which is filler but interesting I heard a decent amount more than majority of the songs above it.

~Well crap With You took a massive jump from its almost near-end dropout spot. I mean it now finally decided to pick up on radio now so I guess good timing.

~It's nice to see minor hit songs make some decent dents in the chart. Look Away takes to the Top 25 and Trampoline is gaining a bit more traction now

~It's nice to see Goodbyes rebounding and looking to break further into the Top 20.

~It seems like the end for Love Me Less and it's one-week Top 10 journey because 3 former Top 10 songs are looking to return to the Top 10

~Speaking of re-entering Top 10 I Don't Care returns which makes sense it has a lot more traction than others.

~If I Can't Have You hold for yet another week and I'm blaming this on lack of competition. You got Who Do You Love and Sucker stalling right under it and they're not returning to that top spot. Seems like the crappy You Need To Calm Down and the much better Señorita are competing for in a week or two.

~As far as exits go Don't Give Up On Me was horrid and was space filler for the most part. Same goes for Hustle but this song was actually good so it sucks that it went.

~I Warned Myself is not good. The production just drowns the song because his voice is decent so yeah, not good.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago- Panic! At The Disco- High Hopes (2nd/8 weeks)

New Entrants

~Our lone and quite disappointing entrant comes from Katy Perry in the form of Small Talk. I don't know how to feel about this man. Her voice is okay, but I don't anything else. I don't how much to say, to be honest, this could go to blue but who knows.

Small Blurbs

~Well this Top 10 is okay. Senorita starts to slowly peak up, Love Me Less which I'm not surprised since it's doing well on other pop charts including Billboards. 

~Hey Look Ma, I Made It re-enters all the way at #3. Now, entering at like #10 since your near there is okay, but all the way at #3, c' mon, it's getting old anyway.

~Truth Hurts takes a hard fall which is surprising since it's really big and has a lot of airplay.

~Make You Mine and Mother's Daughter break Top 20. I'm quite happy about the former since it's a great song and a nice addition to the Top 20 as for the latter, it was bound to happen so I'm not surprised.

~All the debuts went up this week and that's good considering how it's a great batch of more so random songs.

~Without Me finally enters the Bottom 5 as High Hopes nears it.

~Speechless and Let Me Down Slowly are still for some reason, both are quite old and basically filler until a huge wave comes and knocks them out.

~As far as exits go, Walk Me Home was nice at first but then just got boring in the long run. Nice peak though.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago- Panic! At The Disco- High Hopes (1st/8 weeks)

New Entrants
~Our first entrant is One Thought Away. This song I'm very mixed on. It's very good instrumentally and his vocals are not that bad. I don't really know what to say about this song it's just some big space filler. I know this because no one knows about him. He reminds of Alex Aiono when he came with Big Mistake which was really good.

~Next is Mother's Daughter. Now, I haven't been a fan of Miley Cyrus. Party in the USA was overplayed as hell, Wrecking Ball was just bad and We Can't Stop is an abortion of a song. Here the production of the song is okay but I do not like her voice. The "Oh My God" in the song is super annoying and grating and ruins this whole song.

~At #34 is Trampoline by SHAED. Now, this song debuted on my Possibilities list some time ago and it fell off it pretty quickly. Everything is good here, but it's just really bland and the lyrics are simple. The song is very slow for her voice (I don't know her name). So yeah it's good but not the best.

~One spot above Trampoline is Find U Again. This song is really good. I like the production of Mark and the vocals from Camila. The content is really good. So yeah I like a lot about this song.

~One spot above this is Look Away by Stephen Puth. Now the only song people would know about him is probably Sexual Vibe which, impressively, peaked at #15 when it debuted on here. Now, I like the vocals here more than Sexual Vibe but I feel like production is too basic and Sexual Vibe had more of a groove to it. Nevertheless, the song is still really good.

~Finally, coming at #32 is Rescue Me by OneRepublic. I'm actually genuinely surprised this debuted. I like the production on the song but the vocals are lacking something and make the production feel empty. It's a snoozefest at some points and there is really no climax. However, something clicks with me to make it good. Comparing to Counting Stars, this song is nothing.

Blurb Me
~My first thing comes in our Top 3. Why the hell is If We Have Each Other there?! It's not a bad song but it's not that good either. Also, to outpeak to a superior song which is both more statistically and in quality which only peaked at #4. This song should be on its way out now since it took the most random yet aggravating jump of the week. Who cares about 100 Bad Days jumping into the Top 20, that was bound to happen and yet it's worse than this song.

~With You and So Am I took big drops which I'm not surprised. With You has no traction whatsoever on radio and So Am I was just a follow-up remake of the ancestor.

~Seems like Here With Me is on its way out after taking a mild drop out of the Top 20. To be honest, the song is quite bland and is getting annoying.

~We have a lot of re-entries and new entrants to the Top 10. Talk re-enters at #10 in which I'm not surprised since it's such a big radio song. Someone You Loved jumps back in because it's huge on the radio. Señorita and Truth Hurts take jumps into the Top 10. The former was bound to happen but do we really need to latter to be making an attempt for #1? The song isn't even that good. Easier re-enters unsurprisingly because it's 5SOS and #3 we already got to.

~As for droppers from the Top 10, Hey Look Ma, I Made It will probably return sooner or later because P!ATD. Cool dropped out and that's good since it really isn't getting anywhere. Old Town Road, You Need To Calm Down, and bad guy took decent drops out of there. I can see the last two coming back but I don't know about Old Town Road, it's losing a lot on the radio so this is probably it for the song. And So Am I wasn't going to last like said.

~Make You Mine is making nice jumps and I hope it hits high, it's really good and deserves some credit.

~Walk Me Home and Sweet But Psycho both enter the Bottom 2 so this could be their last week on here, they both had interesting runs nevertheless.

~As far as exits go, Summer Days deserved to stay longer since it's really good, mama's house was chart filler and that kind of sucks since it's not that bad. Close To Me and Dancing With A Stanger were both pretty good, but they're both getting pretty annoying. Chlorine probably had the most interesting run here peaking at #11 and having great longevity. Finally, there's Paradise which I forgot about it wasn't bad but Bazzi has done better.

New Trainees

~First is Roaring 20s. The song is amazing, very catchy, great vocals. However, this could fade very quickly for me.

~boyfriend is a great song. Production is nice and I like the vocals. Also, it's pretty catchy too.

~Jesus In LA is good. Decent vocals but I do like the instrumentation on this one.

~Good As Hell is really good. I like the vocals but the production is especially good on this song.

~The Hype is okay I find it quite boring.

~Small Talk is just generic and overall bad, though it could go to blue, I don't know.
