Review #37: Amanda Diva & Mick Boogie "Still Sucka Free Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 1.22.2008 (Review No. 37)



Watz good Amanda Diva! I'm back… And yeah, another surprise: Another review for ya! That's right! Because I saw it on iTunes, which I BOUGHT also! I decided to buy it! It looked like it had some HOT collabos on it! I'm gonna review your previous joint wit Mick Boogie "Still Sucka Free Vol. 1". Start Time: 6:12 PM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!


© 2008 CD Review (Review #37) reviewed on 1.22.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Mick Boogie Intro"
Let's see how this thang starts off… >>> Real good wit them rap samples in tha beginning! Great intro gurl! My Rating: N/A


02. "For The Love (B Girl Mix)"
Damn goin' back to Fall '06 wit this joint! Somethin' I loved playing at my college during my 1st semester! This joint iz definitely hot, and I love tha intro/chorus/lyrics! Tellin' tha truth right here! Yeah you're right: shouts out to that boy Clinton Sparks, doin' his thang! My Rating: 4.5


03. "Hip Hop Chick"
This was another hot joint by you during tha end of '06. Another tight joint! Not only are you goin' ol' skool, but I am. Right now, while I'm listening/reviewing this mixtape, I'm playing Super Mario World for Super Nintendo on my computer. Yeah I hit tha Earth in '88 and by 2000, hip hop got into me. My Rating: 3.8


04. "DMX Interlude"
Ooh we got X checkin' in! Let's see what he's got to say! >>> Love how you said "mutha fuckin'!" He said some true shit right there! That sux that there was rumors in 2004 that DMX was retiring. He can't retire! He be a beast when it comes to rap! My Rating: N/A


05. "40 MC's (Remix)" Feat. Q-Tip
Since this was also on tha "Life Experience" CD, I'm gonna copy/paste my review from that to here: 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


06. "My Heart" Feat. Chamillionaire
I'm really lookin' forward to this joint wit Chamillionaire on it! High AL!! >>> Pretty good hook and beat. You sound like Chamillionaire on tha hook IMO wit tha singin'. Nice verse by Chamillionaire (he always does his thang)! My Rating: 4.1


07. "Sunshine" Feat. Lupe Fiasco
Okay another High AL 'cause of Lupe Fiasco! Looking forward to hearing (hope it sounds good)! >>> Yeah Lupe Fiasco had a nice verse. Not really too onto that hook tho… Amanda Diva, you sound pretty good on your verse as well (always). This joint was a lil' too short. Lmao @ that ending: "if you had a girl's pussy and put it up in tha air, it'll turn into sunshine." Wow that's funny. My Rating: 3.4


08. "Pusherman"
Tha ending to tha previous song had "Kick Push" in tha background. Iz this supposed to be a remake? Lemme find out! >>> Amanda Diva killin' them hooks on tha singin'! They're great!! What great rhymes and poetry in this! Gotta luv ur rhymes! Great story (just like wit Lupe Fiasco did wit this song originally)! My Rating: 3.9


09. "Lil' Wayne Interlude"
I heard a sample (tha whole thing) on iTunes, and it was great. Lemme rehear it tho. >>> Yeah true message right there, and I like that "go Diva, that's my Diva!" part at tha end! Lil' Wayne iz definitely one of tha best!! My Rating: N/A


10. "Dirty South" Feat. Chandlar
Got a high AL 'cause of tha title! I LOVE tha dirty south (excluding snap music)! >>> Sounding real good wit a nice ol' skool beat! Yeah let's go back to tha Summer of '99! Too bad tha Summer of '99 wasn't tha best for me. I moved to Northeast PA (from Long Island, New York). It wasn't so bad at first 'cause it was a new experience for me, but tha school I went to was shitty in '99. Your rhymes makes me wanna write somethin' from my back in tha day experiences! Yeah shout to Orlando! I'm hoping to FINALLY get to go there April 30, 2008 as I take my first plane there to go on vacation wit my 63 year old rappin' grandma and a ton of our family members! My Rating: 4.6


½time: So far so good, and I'm really feelin' this mixtape! Definitely some good hip-hop right here, even tho I pretty much love 99% of rap music (I just don't love pop rap or snap music).


11. "Manifesto"
Aight let's see how we kick off tha 2nd ½…: >>> Yeah you were a diva, not a bitch! Sayin' some real shit! Yes do this 'til you're old and gray 'cause you *Jennifer Lopez voice* "do it, do it, do it, do it, do it well!" Pretty decent song. My Rating: 3.7


12. "Nas Interlude"
Let's see what one of tha kingz of hip-hop has to say… >>> Amanda Diva luvs her Nas! My Rating: N/A


13. "On The Real"
On the real, we'll see if this joint's hot or not. >>> Ooh remakin' tha ol' skool Nas joint! Yeah you're not afraid to keep it real! Good job on this! My Rating: 4.0


14. "She's Bad"
Let's see what's goin' on wit this joint… >>> Likin' tha flow and tha hook. My Rating: 3.5


15. "DJ Drama Interlude"
Now officially just "Drama", but anyway, gotta hear what my dawg iz sayin' on ur mixtape… >>> Yeah good interlude by one of tha best DJs! My Rating: N/A


16. "Fallin'"
>>> Ooh "In The Ghetto" beat! Yeah you did your thang on this, remakin' it and shit! My Rating: 3.8


17. "Mixunit.com Interlude"
Let's see this interlude… >>> That's good for you, but I don't go on mixunit.com. When I get mixtapes, I usually go on iapstore.com but that's mainly dirty south shit (which I love). Oh and by tha way, I love when that girl says "freeeee" on your lil' "still sucka freeeee" thing that's in tha beginning/ends of songs/interludes. My Rating: N/A


18. "Time" Feat. Jae Millz
Good title and yes some new shit from Jae Millz finally! Gives me a High AL! >>> Didn't expect this beat. Looks like it's gonna sound good. Nice and fast flow! Yeah ya gotta listen to tha "rhy-rhy-rh-rh-rhymes"! Yeah Jae Millz doin' it big on this joint! Really feelin' it! My Rating: 4.3


19. "Lil' Scrappy Breakfast At Diva’s Freestyle"
Ooh I gotta hear this! High AL!! >>> Nice beat. We'll see if he'll "whip tha haterz's headz boy", lol! Amanda Diva you did yo thang! Whippin' them haterz's headz gurl! Yeah Scrap did it big too! My Rating: 3.9


20. "Freshhh Freestyle"
Let's see. I think it's tha "Mr. Me Too" beat? >>> Yup that beat! Yeah you're my favorite MTV host! I still miss those dayz! Likin' tha Young Jeezy "Go Crazy" flow towards tha end! Too bad it was so short! My Rating: 3.7


21. "Hot Shit (Live At Def Poetry Jam)" (BONUS CUT)
Aight lemme hear this BONUS joint! >>> Lovin' all those "shits" lol! Yeah you be spittin' that "real hip hop-doin' big things-crazy" shit! "Shit", I just fucked up in a level in Super Mario World, lol! Loved that!! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: End Time: 7:24 PM. Aight time for me to eat dinner. Really feelin' this mixtape! You did yo thang!! I thought this was better than tha "Life Experience" one. Keep doin' yo thang. I'mma post this review as a comment on your Myspace in a few.
