Review #94: Fire Thief & Sono "No Homo (Tha Mixtape)"

Good ratings mainly only 'cause of humor.


Reviewed on 6.08.2008 (Review No. 94)


Watz good it's Frankie… and I have this odd lookin' review I'm about to do… Let's see… I'm very anticipated to review it wit 2 things that usually bother me? Tha two things: 1.) It havin' "no homo" in tha title (which I think tha saying "no homo" iz one of tha worst things in Rap music) and 2.) Mostly jacked beats. Why would I be reviewin' this then? Well tha answer iz these cool dudes Fire Thief & Sono (Sonof504 on Word Of South message board) put out this mixtape called tha "No Homo (Tha Mixtape)" mixtape. It's lookin' like somethin' that I'm prolly gonna laugh my ass off and enjoy. Without further or do, here goes my review for Fire Thief & Sono "No Homo (Tha Mixtape)". BTW, I try to never use tha term "no homo" in anything (unless it's a quote/title like this mixtape name) because I dislike it (I let my Autism reflect certain weird things said by me if I say anything weird). Actually, when I see it in posts, I try to let my eyes not see it. BTW, tha mixtape cover iz very funny/creative/odd/OMG! Oh yeah happy birthday to my boy Keon today and shouts out to him! Start Time: 11:22 PM | Video Game Playing: Donkey Kong Country 2 (Diddy's Kong Quest)"


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 #94) reviewed on 6.08.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Crank Dat No Homo"
Oh God… … … … … … … … … That's what's goin' through my head right now. Nothin' but " … " messages. Maybe No. 1 should have been "No Homo (Tha Intro)" and this be No. 2… What's gonna happen when I press play? And this iz Louisiana music right here… AHHH!!!!!!! >>> I thought tha hook was gonna be better, but I HATE "Crank Dat Soulja Boy"… I'm tryin' to be easy on this… It's funny so it gets tha props. I guess that's Fire Thief on tha 1st verse. I think his voice makes things funny. Sono iz very funny when his voice sounds like it's BLASTING! Sono was funnier on this. And before I pressed play, Duffy's "Mercy" came on Music Choice Hitlist. I was thinkin' "imagine if these dudes did somethin' on Duffy's beat, lol." I would've laughed my ass off entirely. But anyway, tha hook sounds better. I expected to hear somethin' like "watch me (yuuugh) crank dat no homo, now watch me (yuuugh) crank dat no homo." My Rating: 3.7


02. "Freestyle Up The Ass"
Listenin' to Kerli "Walking On Air" on Music Choice Electronica as I'm writing this in between these songs. She said "little creepy bat." As soon as she said that, I looked at tha title and I laughed my ass off… looks "creepy." What beat iz this/what tha fuck iz this? >>> Tha "Back That Ass Up" beat. I remember this. I reviewed this in one of Sono's threads. Very high rating for me on this! I love how tha vocals sound BLASTING! Tha whole thing iz enjoyable and would easily put me in a good mood. I like tha "this iz "No Homo", get out of your home…" part. Let's see what I originally said about it *checks my short review on May 17, 2008…* I like how it sounds like it's BLASTING! I like tha flowin' (of course). Just how you rhyme on this iz funny/real good. I can tell this iz a freestyle. You try to prevent tha stumblin' as best as you can. I sometimes repeat words here and there when I freestyle. Most of tha time I'll be like (which sometimes iz good) "man stop playin', you know tha crown iz mine / you fucked up, you done ran outta time / Time to survive that iz…" I'll always define tha last thing that rhymed. Anyway, now it's FT's part… Yeah FT comin' through wit that same tight flow/rhymes as I heard on tha last joint (that "Diss" joint). My Rating: 4.8


03. "Money Make Me Cum" Feat. C Money
OMG one title after tha next… I don't know which one iz funnier/stranger… But a high AL (anticipation level) for me. What could this be about? "Make It Rain" beat? That's my prediction. >>> Lol @ tha auto-start. I don't know tha beat… OMG LMFAO @ this!!! Tha semen shit and shit that's bein' said by Fire Thief!! Where'd that Ross come from? Oh yeah I remember so long ago someone posted somethin' about this song (by Ross). OMG LMFAO @ Sono!! Lol @ your complaining!! When tha Ross part comes outta nowhere, it sounds funny 'cause of how it's pasted in. This was too funny!! My Rating: 4.7


04. "Pink Pony"
*Imitates tha voice in tha beginning* Heyyyy!!! I heard that for tha first time I almost fell over! I actually left that voice on my rappin' grandma's answer machine a few dayz ago. Oh and because this iz this mixtape, I guess I'll get weird… why not. A decade ago, I think I got this "pink pony" from somewhere (might've been McDonalds; it was a My Little Pony pony). I named her "Pony" and gave her tha birthday of April 18th. I don't know where she iz now (maybe my lil' brother has her), but this year, her birthday was so shocking, I checked scratch-off lottery tickets from New York that my rappin' grandma found for me. I found $102 in winning tickets (even tho only $12 cashed in due to tha other $90 was already cashed in without me knowing). Anyway, VERY HIGH AL on this…!! >>> Didn't think this was gonna be this good! LMAO @ "ride tha pink pony." "Ponies in tha club… ride tha saddle!" As soon as tha 1st verse started, OMG!! Lol @ tha doritos! I just ate some before this review! Lol @ one part right around 1:50 that skipped. And then a lil' at 2:14 (tha beat). Tha autotone!! "Shawty said tha pony that she with ain't shit;" NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm like screwin' up in playin' Donkey Kong Country 2 and just laughin' my ass off! Now it's Fire Thief… Let's see what he gon do… Cricket sound, lol. Tha whole thing was CRAZY! Sono got to shine on this!! My Rating: 5.0


05. "Put On"
Tha new Young Jeezy & Kanye joint? What's goin' on here? >>> It iz… Not sure about it so far… Nothin' really goin' on here. Wow that 2nd verse. *Says what I'm typin' fast* Tha 2nd verse was goin' like at a very fast speed and it was goin' like fuckin' insane wit tha fuckin' rapid-speed. Good fast flowin'! Sorry but this was boring me… I liked that you kept Jeezy on tha hook. Maybe I'll give it a lil' more credit for that. But this sounded like it had nothin' to do wit a subject related to "no homo" (not even tha title was changed). My Rating: 3.5


06. "Young Rhyme Spittaz"
What iz this? >>> Oh "A Millie"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Lets my jaws drop right now and has drool droolin' out* Good part by Fire Thief! "Slurpin' down like a slushie;" I need to get a slurpie one of these dayz… When I go to Walmart to get Subway… I think they got it! Oh and I asked for carrots on my sub and tha lady was like "you want olives?" She said it in a HOT voice I loved it! LMAO @ Sono!!! LMAO @ tha beat originally havin' all those "a millie, a millie…"s in tha beat! Lol @ tha Spongebob underwear. I stopped wearin' underwear August 10, 2006. Yeah it took a while… Yeah where iz that "honey" herself (Erykah Badu)? I enjoyed this. My Rating: 4.5


07. "Damn She's Old"
Lol. I wonder how old… My rappin' grandma CAN rap and she's 64! Maybe she should collab wit you guys! High AL!! >>> I don't know tha beat, but Chops iz on tha track… Sounds like Dipset meets Lil' Weavah… Lol @ tha crusty feet. I neva saw my dad's feet for your information. Lol @ tha hook and tha "my nuts are cold." Yeah "she had her titties hangin' out!" "Let's cuddle up and shit." "I took her boobs out and started suckin' on 'em;" good!!!!!!!! She's only in her 30's? I thought she was gonna be a real, real old girl. I'm glad "she swallowed all tha cum down." My Rating: 4.1


08. "Ain't Got Time For Games" Feat. Tribu
What could this be? >>> "Get Silly" beat? Lol. I have a feeling this'll beat my expectations. Actually it didn't, but it was not bad throughout tha whole thing. My Rating: 3.6


09. "Cock Boys"
Oh God… I knew within one second that this has to be over tha Jay-Z "Roc Boys (And The Winner Is…)" beat. >>> "And tha winner iz me." I was right wit that beat. Looks like this gon be good. Sono soundin' funny… Yeah I agree wit you: "I'm not gay." That's one of my quotes to people: "I'm not gay, I'm Autistic." This shit iz pretty good. Funny. Lol @ tha "tha Roc boys in tha building tonight… no, tha Cock boys in tha building tonight!" My Rating: 4.3


10. "My House" Feat. Rasty
I hope this iz tha Curren$y/Lil' Wayne beat… >>> It's not… I don't know tha beat. I actually like this. Good verses by Fire & Sono. Good hook too. Good shit all tha way. I like that ending. My Rating: 4.5


11. "Gettin' Some Head" Feat. Lil' Wayne
Goin' back to tha '06 dayz… Let's see what you did to Shawnna… >>> Yeah that hook was tha shit! Love tha '06 dayz! Oh and Fire, your verse iz on FIRE, especially that rapid-fast-FIRE rappin'!! Lil' Wayne could've been better… I think there was another remix Music Choice played and he sounded a lot better on that one. Fire & Sono > Lil' Wayne on this! My Rating: 4.3


12. "Headshot"
>>> Familiar beat, but I don't know it. Sounds real random… Nothing really to say here… My Rating: 3.4


13. "Gum On My Shoe"
Someone produced this for ya I see… Infamous Konvict. I can't picture what this gon be… Because Max Minelli "U Gotta Luv Me Baby" iz on Music Choice Rap right now (which this iz tha 3rd time it has come on since it premiered 2 months ago), I finna listen to it and wait 'til it's over! >>> I guess because it's different, I gotta give it credit. Kinda plain but good. Actually Fire Thief had a much better part. I like tha "dappin' up my peeps" line. My Rating: 4.0


½time: Tha start was prolly tha best. There were REAL GOOD ones, some okay ones and then some good ones. I hope tha humor continues tho!! Wow it's 12:50 AM. I was slow in tha beginning 'cause I waited too long to get into each track… I'm only ½ way through and I spent 1 hour, 28 minutes on this.


14. "6 Minutes" Feat. Yung Deezy
Who's Yung Deezy? I guess one of your homies. Iz this over Madonna's "4 Minutes" beat wit Timber & Timba? *Gets ready to be anticipated and to be laughin'* >>> Nope it's not. It sounds like it's more tight wit tha beat (I don't know it). It's even "6 minutes", 27 seconds on length. Sono flippin' out, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your part was REAL TIGHT!! I like when Fire Thief outta nowhere said (when he switched to what mixtape we're on) "we're on "No Homo" right now." Lol @ tha end "Fire Thief… he likes candy!" My Rating: 4.4


15. "No Homo"
Title track… What's gonna happen wit this?!? >>> OMG IT'S THA "We Made It" BEAT!!! WHO THA FUCK WOULD'VE GUESSED?!? It's like a 1 in a million chance!!! Good so far. Lol @ that 2nd verse wit all those "no homos." At tha end, I like tha rhymin' of "no homo, Fire Thief & Sono." My Rating: 4.0


16. "Nike Boots Freestyle"
What could this be? No. 16 song so it BETTER be funny as fuck!! >>> That beat iz quiet… I can't tell what it iz… It was good, but nothing to catch me too much. My Rating: 3.8


17. "Boss"
Tell me it's that Rick Ross beat… "The Boss" that iz! >>> YEAH!! I'll always remember tha day (March 3, 2008) when my boy Juice put it on his Myspace! Tha song took off crazy!! He made me like that song a lot more! Good shit I'm really likin' tha rhymes from tha both of ya'll! Again I like tha rhymin' of tha "ridin' down tha street, no homo; ya got Fire Thief, ya got Sono." I was definitely feelin' this shit. Good, and of course, great beat you picked! My Rating: 4.3


18. "Unreasonable Mindset"
That's a real, real good title! High AL for it!! >>> Yup I had a feeling it was gonna have that Jay-Z beat. Lol @ clean instrumental. Sounds good so far. Lol @ "tha girl that sucks on my blatter." Pretty good shit right here. My Rating: 3.9


19. "Down South Riders"
Cool? Funny? Gangsta? What will it be… >>> Don't know tha beat… Okay more gangsta so I'm likin' this. Good shit Sono. Yeah I'm gonna "throw it on my iPod" Fire Thief. DEFINITELY! My Rating: 4.1


20. "I Love Her" Feat. Tribu
??? >>> 5:17 on tha length… How long iz this mixtape? It looks like it's over 80 minutes… I don't know tha beat… Sounds good tho. "I love her like Nintendo." Nice. I'm playin' Super Nintendo on my computer right now. Even though that beat sounds like it gon put me to sleep, I'm feelin' this track. Good enough to keep me interested tha whole way. My Rating: 3.8


21. "Run This"
I hope it's tha Birdman/Lil' Wayne beat! >>> Yup! Pretty good start. Lol @ Fire Thief's part. It got lower… Sounded kinda random throughout tha whole thing but I guess good. My Rating: 3.9


22. "Voyage"
Curious about this… >>> Lol… that beat intro iz from Final Fantasy 7!!! LMAO!! MORE UNEXPECTED than tha "We Made It" beat!! What tha hell beat iz this? BTW, I'm really likin' tha rhymin' right now!! This iz definitely on some good shit! Reminds me of some of Princess Superstar's old shit. Great story and it's funny! My Rating: 4.6


23. "Throw Ya Sets Up" Feat. E.M.B.
Maybe I'll see a good transition as we go from "Voyage" to this… >>> I don't know tha beat, but I know it must be a "Dedication" type of beat 'cause of tha Wayne and tha "cannon" sound. Good start to this. Sono's beginning sounded like it was really BLASTING! It was good all tha way through. My Rating: 4.0


24. "Word Of South Diss"
Tha 1st song I eva heard from you guys… And lol @ it. It was tha most funniest thing I heard when I heard it for tha 1st time! It's on tha "Ether" beat. >>> Someone on tha Word Of South board said Fire Thief sounded like B.G. in tha beginning. He does! This iz what I said about it originally when I reviewed it on tha board on May 16, 2008: "Ether" beat… Lmao @ "suck my pennyknuckle" and "muthafuckinrottin.com" Sounds real good/funny so far. Definitely feelin' it. LMAO @ tha "fuck_texas" dissin'. Lol @ at 2:26-2:27: I can hear that tha "hoe" part was pasted onto tha song. You dissed Memphis Kid? *No comment* Oh I thought sonof504 was tha first dude. Nah he's tha 2nd dude. Let's see what he has to say… Nothin' much. I liked that first dude a lot better on this, but ya'll put together a tight lil' thing here. Gonna download it, add it to my iTunes and my iPod. Also to follow that, LMFAO @ Sono sayin' "scream 'BEES KNEES!'" I put a small sample of this song on my "Favorite Rap and R&B Songs of May 2008" video. My Rating: 4.7


25. "Had Your Chance"
What will this sound like? >>> I don't know that beat… What's wit that honking? Lol… Beat iz nice and smooth for tha end… This was a diss? I didn't expect that. I liked tha smooth beat and this was good. My Rating: 4.0


26. "Take A Look At Yourself" Feat. Aplus, IceC1 & Tornado
A big collabo… How we gon end this? >>> "Hollywood Divorce" beat… All of ya'll kinda sound off beat except for Sono a lil'. It's all good. This iz aight for an ending. You guys should've had skits and intro/outros. Come to think of it, Sono ripped tha end of this wit tha "neva display *insert word here*." Good ending by Sono! My Rating: 3.7


Overall: End Time: 2:02 AM. Wow that was loooooooooooong… Ya'll REALLY needed skits and intro/outros! That would've been REAL DOPE for this! But yeah, it was a lil' mix of some songs that bored me, some were REAL TIGHT, some were REAL FUNNY. I did enjoy for tha most part reviewing this. This took me 2 hours, 40 minutes. By 3 minutes, you didn't beat Dee-1 "I Am Who I Am" for tha longest review. Anyway, lemme see how long this CD was in length… 1 hour, 48 minutes, 3 seconds. Lol… Not official CD length (maximum iz 1 hour, 20 minutes)! No wonder it took me so long… I had taken 52 minutes of a break? Lol… Anyway, good shit. Keep makin' tha funny songs!
