Review #35: Amanda Diva "Life Experience"

Reviewed on 12.27.2007 (Review No. 35)




Watz good Amanda Diva this yo boy Frankie! I'm glad I'm reviewing this right now! I'm reviewing your latest joint "Life Experience", and YES, I did BUY it off of iTunes for $7.99, so there you go (I bought it last week as an early Christmas present to you), and now I'm gonna listen to each track and review each track. Start Time: 11:51 PM



01. "Life Experience (Intro)"
Let's see how Ms. Diva gon handle tha intro! >>> Of course, you spit sum real shit right there! My Rating: 3.9


02. "Bright Lights"
Since this iz tha 1st actual joint (that's got a good length), I'm anticipated, so I got a High AL on this! Hope it turns out to be real good! >>> Not too big about those background vocals in tha beginning from those other females (not you). Nice rhymes. I'm feelin' that hook a lot (except for sometimes those background vocals). I like that lil' sample "ya'll ain't grown; we older than yo lil' ass." My Rating: 3.6


03. "Supa Woman"
We got tha lead single right here. I haven't gotten tha chance to see tha video, but I gotta check it out and leave sum feedback on ur Youtube page. This was not bad on a first listen when I checked it out a month ago. I put it on my playlist, and am slowly givin' it spins. Gotta luv ur Jamaican accent in tha beginning! Tha hook iz aight, but it's good for exposing urself. "That's why they talk about me" My Rating: 3.5


04. "40 MC's (Remix)" Feat. Q-Tip
Now tha original version of this song was real, REAL tight (it was tha 1st joint I heard from you on your Myspace back in June 2006). It went REAL good on that Nas "You Know My Style" beat. As for this version, I don't really like that beat, and tha vocals are slower. Either way, tha rhymes are really, REALLY, REALLY good!! Not bad for tha hook, and nice lil' part by Q-Tip. I'm liking it better than when I first heard it back on February 3, 2007. My Rating: 4.2


05. "Windows Over Harlem"
Well anything from here I think iz nothin' but new jointz for me. I really like tha title on this one, so I'm lookin' forward to it wit a High AL! >>> Gotta luv tha poetry in tha rhymes! Nice beat and as always, tha real nice rhymes of Amanda Diva! Feelin' tha hook. My Rating: 3.9


½time: Not bad so far. I expected a lil' better, but this iz pretty good. Your rhymes never get old/boring!!


06. "Brown Girl"
Let's hear some more rhymes!! >>> Again, I'm feelin' your rhymes. Real nice story on this one! It gets better and better as I'm typing this! REAL GOOD 1st verse! Another good hook. I like it sometimes when you switch up from tha rappin' on tha verses to tha singin' on tha hooks (or sometimes throw in tha Jamaican accent)! My Rating: 4.1


07. "New School Old Soul (Interlude)"
Lemme peep out this interlude… >>> Nice beat. Yeah tha message iz true! You do got that "old school flow wit that new school twist." Since there was no rappin' or verses, there's no rating for this. My Rating: N/A


08. "I Know (Better World)"
Let's hear some more rhymes again! >>> Not bad. Tha flowin' iz crazy tho, ESPECIALLY on Verse 2! Nice singin' on this! Yeah roll wit Amanda Diva! Tha singin' was long, but it was definitely a nice combo of rappin' and singin' on a track… "right"? Yeah. My Rating: 3.7


09. "Life To Love (Outro)"
Oh so we're up to tha outro already? What's No. 10 then? *Gets curious*… Lemme hear this outro: >>> That nice beat again, and great message again! My Rating: N/A


10. "Crazy World (Bonus Track)"
Ending it wit a bonus I see… Let's see what can be crammed into these 2 minutes, 22 seconds… >>> I dunno why there was 16 seconds of silence in tha beginning. That freestyle that you was doin' in tha beginnin' (which wasn't this one) sounded hot. This was a nice freestyle you did. I didn't expect it to be a freestyle, but it came out good. My Rating: 3.8


Overall: End Time: 12:34 AM. Not bad for a CD. Nothin' was bad, but nothin' was extremely shocking in my opinion (except tha rhymes). Keep up tha great work! I actually have another surprise comin' up for ya (prolly tomorrow).

08. "Supa Woman" 3.5
