Review #132: DJ Scream Presents Playaz Circle "The Campaign"

Reviewed on 10.15.2008 (Review No. 132)


FrankieThaLuckyDog here wit my 2nd review of tha day… These reviews been takin' me whiles to do. Anyway, I'm anticipated to hear more Playaz Circle shit right now (they were promotin' this mixtape wit Scream on MTV Jams during "Mixtape Monday" last Monday, tha 6th). So now, without further or do, here goes my review for DJ Scream Presents Playaz Circle "The Campaign"! Start Time: 9:23 PM | Video Game Playing: Secret Of Mana (for Super Nintendo) (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!

01. "The Campaign Begins"
And it's about to begin! I'm very anticipated!! >>> Nice lil' intro! That beat iz on some tight shit! My Rating: N/A


02. "Burner" Feat. D-Hustle
High anticipation level for tha 1st joint on here!! >>> Good, it's that same beat from tha intro. Nice hook right there! Definitely feelin' it and Playaz Circle on their gutta shit! Tity Boi did his fuckin' thang on that 1st verse right there! REAL NICE! Dolla soundin' great on that hook. Pretty good part from D-Hustle on tha last verse. Great shit to start this shit off! My Rating: 4.3


03. "Boyz Iz Back" Feat. Cap 1
What could this be like? >>> A long joint wit 5:12 on tha length. Hope it's good, especially since it's a mixtape! It's tha T.I. "What Up, What's Haapnin'" beat and when Dolla says tha title, it sounds like Jay-Z. Pretty nice so far… Lookin' forward to tha verses! Pretty nice 1st verse right there. Tity Boi (of course) havin' a TIGHT verse on tha 2nd verse! That hook iz startin' to sound nice wit tha "dayz you couldn't sleep in tha trap" part; good shit Dolla! Cap 1 iz on that 3rd verse… I'm glad he rocked Coog 'cause I love Coog and it's tha shit! Just fuckin' love hip-hop clothing!! Great 3rd verse! Started to like this joint more! My Rating: 4.1


04. "Backin' Out"
Playaz Circle don't back out of anything! They do tha damn thang! Watch this be anotha FIYA joint!! >>> Nice dark beat for this one. Tha flowin' iz nice and slow too. Nice long verse from Dolla right there. Good hook from Tity Boi. Yes, he has a verse!!! Started off real good wit tha "choppa wit me" and "pick up dog litter" parts. DEFINITELY likin' that "28's like February line" a whole lot!! Great shit again! My Rating: 4.2


05. "My Opinion"
Great title. This iz how my reviews are done: from "my opinion"! Let's see how they said it themselves! >>> Good intro from you (DJ Scream) and Tity Boi. Yeah, this iz soundin' nice here. Likin' that hook Dolla. I like tha beginning of tha 1st verse from Tity Boi. Wow, I'm REALLY likin' it and it sounds like a Lil' Wayne written verse! REAL Great 1st verse right there!! Feelin' that hook once again! Dolla has a tight 2nd verse on him right chea. Nice gutta lyrics, not "givin' a fuck." My Rating: 4.3


06. The Takeover
Expectin' this one to be good. Show 'em what you got Playaz Circle!! >>> Up, it's just a skit. Good shit Dolla and I'm glad y'all are branchin' out! My Rating: N/A


07. "D Boys R Us" Feat. J-Hard
Now THAT's a NICE title!! Very high anticipation level for this joint right chea!!! >>> Shit, only 2:18 but I know it gon go hard! Beat sounds a lil' different wit all those "bum, bum bum bum"s and claps. I heard a Funkmaster Flex bomb so that proves thiat this iz tight. Nice 1st verse Tity Boi. Good hook right here! Nice topic right here and shout out to all tha d-boyz out there! J-Hard did his thang on tha 2nd verse. Gotta feel this joint right here. My Rating: 4.3


08. "Ain't I"
Let's get into this joint… >>> Only 1 minute, 30 seconds… What could fit in this? Ooh this was on tha MTV Jams "Mixtape Monday" feature! Yeah, this iz TIGHT! Tity Boi doin' tha fuckin' damn thang wit all those "ain't I" parts!!!! Great all tha way through. I didn't think tha hook should've just been "ain't I goin' ham?" though. I definitely felt this shit though. My Rating: 4.5


09. "Lockdown" Feat. J-Hard & M-Beezy
Music Choice Rap iz playin' that TIGHT-ASS "Duffle Bag Boy (Remix)" right now. Let's see how all these dudes collab'd on this! >>> Was a lil' thrown off by tha beginning wit tha sample but tha beat soundin' a lil' darker now so I'm interested. Dolla's spittin' a nice 1st verse right here! Great so far wit Dolla's consistant spittin'. Nice all tha way through wit all that went on (sorry I didn't write much, I was gettin' my ass kicked in tha video game I was playin'). My Rating: 4.0


10. "Sunglasses" Feat. Ludacris
Let's see how Luda helped y'all on this one… >>> Always like when people sample "Sunglasses At Night". Likin' that beat wit Tity Boi startin' it off! Wow, it goes from 80's beat to dark/hot Rap beat!! Tity Boi MUTHAFUCKIN' MURDERIN' THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!! Luda spittin' some hot shit on this! Great consistant rappin' from him! This was a nice joint right here! My Rating: 4.6


½time: DEFINITELY HOT CD SO FAR!! All tha songs I've really liked on a 1st listen and I know Playaz Circle be bringin' that heat! That's why they holla'd at Scream to get on a mixtape! Speakin' of hollain' at a DJ, I gotta go call DJ Scrap (from Louisiana) and tell him I reviewed his "I Run Louisiana" mixtape. *Calls* Well, I just left a message; nothin' happened. Now, back to this mixtape!


11. "I'm Boomin'" Feat. Rick Ross
Let's see what y'all did wit tha boss himself… >>> Nice start so far after it kicked in after like 30 seconds in. Good dark beat wit my dawg Tity Boi startin' this shit off!! Good "pre school" line! Great shit (as always) from Tity Boi on that 1st verse! Great hook too! Pretty good from Rick Ross so far. LMFAO @ "hop in my dog shit." Nice smooth, slow joint right here. My Rating: 4.2


12. The Takeoff
I have a feelin' it's a skit. Let's see… >>> Oh, my fuckin' dawg Tity Boi!! I like tha "airplanes" shit. Great skit from my boy Tity Boi! My Rating: N/A


13. "Young Kobe"
I expect myself to be interested in this so let's see… >>> Short wit only 1:51 on tha length. Sounds like too much iz goin' on wit that beat skippin' back n forth. Tity Boi did pretty nice on his verse. Pretty nice part from Dolla too. Kinda have to get into that beat though but good rhymes. My Rating: 3.7


14. "Came From The Gutta" Feat. Gorilla Zoe
You picked someone who would prolly make tha track sound interesting so I have anticipation to hear Gorilla Zoe and Playaz Circle go at it! >>> Great singin' Tity Boi and nice, relaxin' beat. I like tha "and if I flip a brick" part at tha end of tha hook. Nice verse from Tity Boi and I'm likin' that hook a lot more now that I'm hearin' it after tha 1st verse. Glad you're "tryna be a dope boy." I hear Dolla on tha 2nd verse here… Pretty nice part from him. Let's hear what Zoe has to offer… Interesting stories Zoe. Good shit right here. My Rating: 4.3


15. "Look What I Got"
I haven't gotten tha chance to play this song but I'm glad Music Choice Rap got it. I wish it would get more exposure to tha world though. Like this one a lot and here goes my review: >>> That's a nice beat right there! That's cool that your "pants saggin'" Dolla. Gotta do what you want to do while it's "fuck everyone else." Great verse from Dolla right there! Tity Boi on tha 2nd verse and I really like those "racin' / racist" lines. I also like tha "smell like a p; when I say 'p,' I mean a pound" part. My Current Rating: 4.6


16. "I Feel Sorry"
Usually have faith for No. 16 but not sure how this one gon sound. Hope it's not too sad or anything… >>> I might "feel sorry" sayin' what I got to say but this iz a review and anything goes! A lil' too slow (which I don't mind) but maybe this could have some life in it from tha rhymes. Not really likin' tha girl sample sayin' "I feel sorry." Not bad 1st verse. Tity Boi on tha 2nd verse… What will happen? Pretty good on his part. I kinda dwelled off during tha joint but I can't say it's that bad for me. Nice and relaxin' but I prefered somethin' like tha joint wit Gorilla Zoe on it. My Rating: 3.3


17. The Check Out
Aight now let's see what's goin' on wit tha boyz… >>> Good "check out" Dolla. My Rating: N/A


18. "Freekin' You"
Let's see how you grabbed tha females on this one… >>> Decent start so far. Nice 1st verse Dolla, especially at tha end of tha verse. Tity Boi iz soundin' pretty good on his part on tha 2nd verse. Very good, especially tha endin' wit tha "leg," tha "ear" and tha "chair." REAL GOOD way to attract and position tha females Tity Boi. I like tha girl sayin' tha "freakin'" and "freekin'" parts. Good jam right here. My Rating: 4.0


19. "I'm On It" Feat. Cap 1
Let's see what we got here… >>> Long one wit 5:07 as tha length. Cap 1 had a nice 1st verse on this shit right here. Pretty nice hook right here wit that nice, slow beat. Yeah, Tity Boi wit tha "boi-i-oi-i-oi-i-oing" wit tha "rubberbands" line! Definitely a great verse from him, especially tha "we gon get money, whether CDs or white" line at tha very end of his verse! Dolla iz on tha 3rd verse and he's soundin' good on this slow beat! Nice shit right here. My Rating: 4.1


20. "Rubberbands" Feat. J-Hard
A bonus track here… And I like that title (especially since Tity Boi said tha "boi-i-oi-i-oi-i-oing" part on tha last joint). High anticipation for this one! >>> Sounds like Drumma Boy on tha beat so this should be great! Already hearin' tha hook and it's goin' good so far wit that tight beat! I like that "life look like a No. 8 layin' down" part Tity Boi. He's doin' tha damn thang on tha 1st verse! Great 1st verse from him; like it a whole lot!!! Good 2nd verse from J-Hard on this joint. Dolla doin' his thang wit that hook and what's said in it. Pretty nice 3rd verse too. Good shit right here. My Rating: 4.3


21. "We Can Get It Too" Feat. Dufflebag Boyz
Who are tha Dufflebag Boyz? High anticipation on hearin' them wit y'all on this!! Good thing for these bonus tracks!! >>> Dufflebag dude on tha 1st verse sounds pretty good. Oh, he's on tha hook too. Nice/interesting shit here. Tity Boi soundin' GREAT on tha 2nd verse and again wit that "boi-i-oi-i-oi-i-oing" part again. It also sounds like Lil' Wayne wrote this verse too and I LOVE that "I'm so high, I'm like, 'what'chu doin' down there?'" line A LOT!!! Anotha Dufflebag dude on tha 3rd verse… Yeah, this dude soundin' great too! He did his thang on that verse! Oh, this joint iz just slowly fadin' out… Good shit though! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: End Time: 10:49 PM. Well, Playaz Circle and DJ Scream got anotha win on their hands. This was definitely some great shit. I expected a lil' more "trap" type of shit but a lot of this shit sounded nice! Keep up tha great work y'all.
