Review #212: E.R.C. "Handling Business And Then Some"

Reviewed on 5.23.2009 (Review #212)


Yea, Frankie here again. 'Bout to bring ya anotha review on my vacation-vacation (LOL @ a double vacation goin' on) since I'm at tha cabin! This next one on my marathon list iz E.R.C. "Handling Business And Then Some"! Start Time: 4:52 PM | End Time: 6:01 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!
 
 
© 2009 CD Review (Review #212) reviewed on 5.23.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. The Interview
And to start this off, how we gon have this shit? >>> I didn't expect a teacher on this intro (yeah, this an intro). Not sure what to expect wit this CD, although I hear about "blacks," so iz this 'bout to talk about tha racism in tha world? My Rating: N/A


02. "Whip'n Ya Ass (Left To Right)"
Looks like a good title (I didn't expect a title like this so soon). Lemme hear what E.R.C. iz all about! >>> Sounds good, and great fa Rap music from tha 90's! Sounds like you got an attitude on this shit while flowin', so that's watz good! Tha beat iz pretty good, and I like that "weed, gettin' high off my point" part; good shit/nice 1st verse! Tha 2nd verse iz goin' off too! Sounds like you and your "weed" iz motivation right chea; I feel that. Nice start to tha 3rd verse, "spittin' lyrics like disease!" Yeah, "untamed behavior!" Lookin' at tha title again, and I wouldn't've expected a song wit that title to sound like this; you did yo thang. You did "whip people's ass!" LOL @ tha ending: "This iz a fuckin' public service announcement!" My Rating: 4.1


03. "What Will It Take"
Don't know what to expect... >>> Sounds like tha same style from tha last song. Tha "stiggity-style" of you sounds great on this shit. Tha title iz directed fa peeps ta "suck your dick," lol. I wouldn't've guessed that (just like wit tha last title how it was). Great 1st verse BTW. I'm hearin' tha 2nd verse too, and it still sounds like I'm likin' yo shit! Not bad on tha 3rd verse; I like that "cocaine; one hit, you addicted" part. My Rating: 3.9


04. "Shit In Ya Mouth"
Now, I must LOL @ tha title! What kinda "shit" iz "in their mouth?" >>> Nice start wit tha Louisiana "watz up bruh" shit. Sounds pretty strong, and tha hook iz good. I like tha "muthafuck tha F...C...C!" part; goes to show you how TOUGH you are when it comes to worryin' about shit! You DEFINITELY doin' yo thang wit tha attitude!!! Great 1st verse, and tha hook iz definitely catchy, lettin' them hataz express tha "shit in their mouth!" Great 2nd verse, and it ended GREAT wit tha "shit in ya mouth, well, here's a roll of toilet paper" line!! Yea, "Mr. E.R.C. iz sumthin' no good" when it comes to a fuckhead fuckin' you ova; I feel you on that. Nice 3rd verse I must say, wit a great song! My Rating: 4.0


05. "I'll Fuck Ya Mama"
Izn't that so, huh..., lol? I'm just playin', you KNOW this shit gon sound great! >>> Uh oh, 5:42 on tha length! Tha beat sounds like it wants to absorb my attention wit that nice intro! Great beat, and it sounds like you're lurin' tha bitches fa this shit! Great, long 1st verse. I like how you end tha verse wit tha title (like tha typical 90's styled way of ending verses). Tha hook sounds cool too. Sounds like a "fucking obsession" goin' on during tha 2nd verse, lol (since your "baby" dayz). Good 2nd verse too on this shit. I wonder what I have in store fa tha 3rd verse... Sounds like someone else iz on tha verse wit you. If so, great collaboration verse. Y'all really LUV yer "fuckin'," huh, lol? My Rating: 3.8


06. "Visitations To Blackland"
Interesting title... I wonder how this one gon be... >>> Good, 4:52 on this length (keepin' it long). Interesting intro beat; reminds me of 90's video game music. Tha beat iz gettin' betta, and wit your "white..." intro (talkin'), this sounds like it gon be more towards racism? It sounds like racism iz bein' rapped about, and tha 1st verse sounded great fa it; I wanna hear more! Not bad on tha 2nd verse too. Talkin' about "if God was a black man" right when tha 2nd verse ended...; interesting. Tha 3rd verse was good too. I feel like I'm really likin' tha outro; I luv tha "black style" of talkin' at tha end. Tha "bruh" part too (2x) sounded REAL GREAT ta hear; luv it! My Rating: 3.6


07. "Understand Your Man"
Tha lady at tha end of tha last joint introduced this, so here we go... >>> Okay song so far wit a decent beat. I like tha gurl on tha hook singin'. Not bad on tha 2nd verse too. Tha 3rd verse was too, but I feel that this song seems too long... There's a 4th verse on this too... Too long of a song, but it ain't that bad. My Rating: 3.4
EDIT: It was only 4:11? My bad fa forgettin' tha length. I thought it was like 40 seconds longer, but 4 verses felt like fa eva...


½time: Sounded like a good start, and an aight end of tha 1st half... You're a great rapper, so I give you a thumbs up to that.


08. "Enuff Is Enuff"
What's tiring you? >>> Oh God, 5:20 on tha length... Sounds like it's about people dying. Yeah, I agree, "enuff iz enuff," when it comes to "all tha killin'!" People need to just let people live, and not fight constantly over THA MOST STUPIDEST SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's tha "B-O-L-I-C-E" part? Sounded like a consistent 2nd verse. Tha 3rd verse sounded great, especially about "tha cop dyin'." Good lyrics, although not a song I would be that crazy about. My Rating: 3.5


09. The Ceremony
Although 2:25 (tha Baton Rouge area code) on tha length, I don't have anticipation fa a title like this, so we'll see what's up... >>> ??? @ tha intro? Reminds me of Italian, but I don't know... Who are tha people talkin' in this? Not a song... My Rating: N/A


10. "Knock'n Your Brains Out (Pt. 1)"
Anotha long song (4:50)! I wonder of this song's sounding... >>> Sounds like a betta start... Decent song, although I don't know what to say... It ain't a bad song, although I like all tha lyrics that describe tha title; good feel in tha beat too fa a song like this. My Rating: 3.7


11. "Butt Naked"
Still keepin' tha lengths pretty long, but can this song get its FULLY "butt naked" style on them hoes, lol? >>> Nice old type of beat in tha beginning goin' on here. Pretty good so far; let's see more... Okay, tha title ain't expressin' fa tha hoes; it more towards how you feel at times. Nice flowin' around tha start of tha 3:00 mark! I don't like that there's nothin' but tha beat in tha hook... My Rating: 3.4


12. "Funky-Ass Shit For Ya System"
5.5 minutes long?! Betta be REAL GOOD!!! >>> Tha beat intro almost reminded me of tha beat of tha last song, lol. I hope this iz "funky ass shit for my system" right now! I'm feelin' tha 2nd verse on here; good flowin'. Catchy 3rd verse too wit tha "strapped" parts in tha beginning. A Craig B dude on tha 4th verse here; nice collab (who are tha official featured people and their names on this?). Sounded like a long, repetitive ending wit tha title, but it okay. My Rating: 3.7


13. "Whip'n Ya (Left To Right) (Radio Edit)"
A radio edit, lol. Cool to have it here just in case I play it fa my Fall 2009 semester at college (my underground Louisiana Rap music radio shift). Then again, fa this song: See #2 fa tha review!


14. "Enuff Is Enuff (Radio Edit)"
This song has a radio edit too, lol? Tha previous radio edit was a betta song. See #8 fa tha review!


15. "Funky For Ya System (Radio Edit)"
LOL, this has a radio edit too? LOL... I didn't think wit tha "ass shit" in tha original title that it wouldn't be like this, lol. See #12 fa tha review!


Overall: Felt like it ended fast since tha last 3 were radio edits... Well, a decent CD. There were too many songs I thought were okay, although you serve yourself as a great rapper. You neva know, you might get a spin at my college... Keep bein' you (if you still around)!
