Review #65: D Cinn "Tha Promotion 2: Grind Mode"

Reviewed on 2.23.2008 (Review No. 65)


Watz good it's Frankie, and here goes my review for my dude D Cinn (from Word Of South's forum)'s mixtape "Tha Promotion 2: Grind Mode". Start Time: 11:58 PM | Video Game Playing: Quest 64 (for Nintendo 64) (on my computer)











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 #65) reviewed on 2.23.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Intro"
Let's see… Yeah looks like this might be good. I didn't expect tha rappin', especially from you. Not really sure about that gurl in tha hook. Pretty good start tho. Give ya credit for that. My Rating: 3.5


Intermission: I took about a 35 minute intermission to post up my previous review.


02. "We Ain't Cool"
Okay so you're doin' more rappin' I see. I really like that gangsta hook. Great song right here. Feelin' it. My Rating: 4.0


03. "Front 2 Back"
Okay I wanna hear this "Front 2 Back" joint. High AL! >>> I like how you did tha same sample as tha Boss Hogg Outlawz. Too bad you left tha "…wit a blunt…" part out. Another good jam. My Rating: 3.9


04. "You Know"
Okay let's hear this one. >>> Okay real hot start wit that hot beat and that real hot hook!! I like tha "ridin' wit tha middle fingaz up" part in tha hook! Some parts of tha beat reminds me of some of tha music in Quest 64 (tha game I'm playing right now on my computer; it's for Nintendo 64). My Rating: 4.4


05. "Recognize"
Yeah I finna peep this one out. Let's see what it sounds like! >>> Tha beat iz a lil' different. Not sure if I'll really feel it. Yeah your rhymin' iz tight. Hook iz pretty good. My Rating: 3.7


06. "Don't Trust 'Em"
This one might be good. I have a feeling tha lyrics are gonna have to do wit drugs or some shit. High AL! >>> Pretty good beat intro. Yup I hear tha drug lyrics. Damn I'm smart. Yeah I was guessin' tha hook was gonna sound somethin' like he's talkin' about ("I don't trust 'em, I might just have to bust 'em"). Yeah I'm startin' to not feel tha beat as much, but I'm feelin' tha lyrics more on this one. My Rating: 3.8


07. "Club Crunk"
Yeah I definitely wanna hear some of this shit! Good title, and definitely tha type of Rap music I like! High AL! >>> What's this 2 minute flat crap on tha length? That's too short. Good beat, good hook. I just expected it to be more crunk. I guess it's more on tha "club" side. That's still good tho 'cause this sounds hot! My Rating: 4.3


08. "It'z A Gangsta Party"
Let's hope we keep it consistant now! >>> How odd I didn't expect tha Yo Gotti beat of "Gangsta Party". What a flashback joint to a lil' more than 2 years ago. Lol @ throwin' Yo Gotti at tha end. It still sounds nice tho. My Rating: 3.9


09. "We Movin'" Feat. PopKone & TLT
First feature, so High AL easily! >>> Nice fast club banger feel to it. That dude at around 2:50 sounds like Lil' Flip. I like tha "lean wit it, rock wit it" line. That was a jam right there. Sounded good all tha way. My Rating: 4.1


10. "Truth In Memphis (Part 2) (Skit)"
Wanna hear this skit. >>> Yeah you speakin' sum true shit. My Rating: N/A


½time: So far pretty good. I finna continue this right now.


11. "Perfect Timing"
Looks like a good title, so I got a High AL on it! >>> Good beat as it creeps towards tha hook! Good hook too. Definitely feelin' tha rhymes, especially everything 'bout tha 3rd verse! Definitely good shit right here! My Rating: 4.5


12. "Who That Boy"
Definitely got a High AL for this. This looks like this gon sound good! >>> Another shitty length @ 2:00. This DEFINITELY sounds like some Memphis shit right here! Hope there's more jointz on here like this. It reminded me of "I Got Dat Drank" when tha first few seconds played. Yeah "flippin' mixtapes like bricks." Real nice line. Whateva that sample iz, it sounds great (tha screwed sample). My Rating: 4.2


13. "Gunline"
Another great title for my anticipation level (AL). Gives me High AL! >>> Definitely a great hook. Tha whole rhymes in tha hook iz REAL GOOD! "Don't 'chu eva cross that gunline!" Good shit, and good rhymes. My Rating: 4.2


14. "Southside Of Town" Feat. D-NYC
Tha 2nd time there's been a feature on here. Hope this "predicted" NYC dude does good wit you on this joint! >>> Good screwed & chopped sample in tha beginning! Some good shit here wit all tha rhymes and that HOT S&C sample in tha hook! D-NYC did do his thang at tha end there! Feelin' this! My Rating: 4.2


15. "We Can Get It (Right Here)"
Looks like it could be another good one! >>> Good Memphis soundin' beat right here! Damn definitely some great consistant rhymes on this! Great hook too! My Rating: 4.3


16. "Ryderz & Smokers"
Looks like some GOOD SHIT for Song No. 16 (I always have faith in No. 16 songs on CDs)! VERY HIGH AL!! >>> Wow definitely a HOT HOOK for somethin' slow. Tha beat iz nice and slow, so that makes it great. I like at 3:08 you started rappin' faster! My Rating: 4.6


17. "What'z Da Deal"
Wanna hear this one too. Got some AL for it! >>> I like that this iz faster. Everything about it iz faster, so that's pretty good. Definitely good lyrics and that FUCKIN' CONSISTANT flowin'!! My Rating: 4.0


18. "South Town"
Almost tha same title as No. 14 I was thinkin'. I hope it can keep this hot consistantness goin'. I have a feelin' it will as I have some AL for this too! >>> Good beat. Sounds good. Why you "pissed off" (as you mentioned at around 2:12)? I can't be pissed off at this 'cause it's hot. My Rating: 3.9


19. "The Rundown"
Aight let's hear "tha rundown" on "The Rundown": >>> Sounds like a weird 80's retro electronicish intro to tha beat. Pretty good freestyle. My Rating: 3.7


20. "Exit"
What you gon say on this outro? >>> Good shit. Keep doin' yo thang dawg! My Rating: N/A


Overall: End Time: 2:19 AM (great time date). That was some pretty good shit right there. I want you to keep doin' yo thang aight!
