Review #329: Max Minelli "Pre-Med"

Reviewed on 10.23.2009 (Review #329)


FrankieThaLuckyDog here, ‘bout ta do my last review for a while (I’m assumin’). I don’t have any CDs ta review afta this, so I may go back inta my marathon. I got a lotta commercials ta make, so who knows. Anyway, got a new Max Minelli CD ta review, and it looks like it gon be pretty good! He ain’t stoppin’, as he’s got more comin’ afta this; this iz just an 11 track taste!! Here goes my review fa Max Minelli Pre-Med! Start Time: 2:23 PM | End Time: 3:36 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 #329) reviewed on 10.23.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. “The Autobiography Of Max Pain”
It looks like a REAL interestin’ title, ESPECIALLY wit it bein’ 6:03 on tha length! REALLY lookin’ forward ta seein’ what he got right now!! >>> Sounds pretty anticipatin’ fa tha beginning; looks like you STILL patiently waitin’ ta blow-up! Wish you could get dat respect you deserve, but don’t worry! You KNOW I’m holdin’ you down, ya dig! Glad you “rewrite English” wit tha “perfectest,” ya dig! Tha rhymes are DEFINITELY good here, even flowin’ GR8 wit dat beat! This iz DEFINITELY a nice “autobiography” here wit all tha shit dat happened back in tha day wit Lay-Lo ta Camp Life and all da good times! I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ all tha old music in my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon in tha future, when I get ta those CDs! I’m almost up ta C-Loc’s 1st CDs in my marathon currently; tha year of ’95! Your I’m All I Got CD iz my boy Jimmy The DJ’s favorite CD, ya dig. You KNOW that’s prolly one of my ANTICIPATIN’ CDs ta review, ya dig! You “got ta tha point where you hated Rap?” I know it happens at times, but you’re still here, doin’ tha damn thang, so that’s all that matters! Damn! Nearly 5 minutes went by on this track already! Your rhymes are just TOO focusable (lol @ my “rewrote English”) that time went by like it was NOTHIN’! Glad you told it how it was about “Koch” durin’ tha 5:00 – 5:15 mark! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Whateva-eva”
LOL @ tha 2 “eva”s bein’ back 2 back! This should be TIGHT, ya dig! >>> Tha beat iz DEFINITELY doin’ its thang here!! Must be a DJ B-Real beat or somethin’? Then again, I think Happy Perez does most of these beats, so it’s STILL DEFINITELY a plus!! REAL NICE hook here; where’s tha extra “eva?” I’m a lil’ confused ‘cause this song iz in a format where every line in tha song has tha title, lol. I guess tha hook was 1st… Nope, tha 1st verse was 1st, and it sounded GR8 wit all tha different topics (from “goin’ duffy” ta all tha street shit and every otha 14 lines, lol). Tha hook was tha typical “eva, eva, eva, eva” type of shit, which sounded good, so you KNOW this shit iz jammin’! Tha 2nd verse soundin’ good here, doin’ a GR8 job here! Glad you used ta do good “on yo report card;” you fulla dat A+ shit, ya dig! I like how tha beat took tha bass out in tha beginning of tha 3rd verse; gr8 shit!! DEFINITELY nice rhymes in tha 3rd verse, endin’ it wit “insanity!” My Rating: 4.5


03. “Amped Up”
Anotha 3:55 length song, lol! Looks like an “Ape Shit” type of title, so I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ you “amped up” on this shit right chea!! >>> Tha piano type of beat intro reminds me of nearly somethin’ I would make… Tha hook sounds cool; almost reminded me of C-Loc how you sounded. Now, it sounds like a cell-phone goin’ off in tha 2nd ½ of tha hook instead of tha piano, lol. Tha production iz DEFINITELY on its shit here, as you’re doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1st verse! You’re “tryna sell records like Mike did Thriller;” I feel you on dat! At least your street cred iz ALWAYS at a NICE peak!! Gr8 job on tha 1st verse, as you just equal tha production wit your rhymes, lyrics, flow, ERR-THANG!! You gon sound GR8 on my radio shift! I played your feature on A-Mar & Dyl’s “To The Max” wit you & VL Mike, as well as your collab wit Savage & Big Scoob “Get Loose Wit It.” I prolly played more (‘cause you KNOW you everywhere in BR)! Tha 2nd verse sounded good; still spittin’ dat FIYA!! REALLY feelin’ how tha beat sounded in tha beginning of tha 3rd verse!! You’re “doin’ this for” err-body right here, my boy!! My Rating: 4.5


04. “Aim 4 Success”
Your path ain’t NEVA endin’; you gon keep walkin’ tha yellow brick road ‘til you get your DESERVED “success,” ya dig! >>> Tha beats sounded betta on tha last 3 songs, but this iz acceptable. It got betta at :27 a lot wit tha sounds added! I’m hearin’ tha 1st verse, and it sounds like you’re “capturin’” lots of “emotions,” as well as it bein’ a “gamble like a dice game;” feelin’ tha rhymes at ALL times! Tha hook iz pretty catchy; it’s all about motivation! Nice job on tha 2nd verse here, steady grindin’! “When you’re unda pressure, you’re at your FUCKIN’ best;” that’s RIGHT! Nice job on tha 3rd verse; only a PROGRESSED rapper like you would spit all types of smart-ass shit, ya dig! My Rating: 4.1


05. “Above The Clouds” Feat. Kevin Gates
I’m not really crazy about tha title, but I hope tha rhymes/collaboration/beat will be GR8!! >>> Okay, tha beat iz acceptable; I like those claps! Sounds like it’s DEFINITELY gonna be good; nice start to tha 1st verse wit you, Max!! Doin’ ya thang on this verse wit them above-typical-average raps!! I KNEW Gates was gonna be on tha hook! He’s ALWAYS on a hook, and did tha damn thang! I thought he was gonna be Jamaican on it, but lol @ tha “Guss make my beats. I’m straight wit tracks, cousin” part bein’ in tha hook; gotta LUV it!! And here’s Gates also on tha 2nd verse! Spittin’ just like you, Max; str8 GREATNESS on tha mic!! Every week, there’s somethin’ Gates that play on my radio shift; he’s SOMEWHERE on SOMEBODY’s songs, CDs, etc.! Nice job on tha 2nd verse, and you KNOW we needed more Gates ‘cause he’s on tha 3rd verse! Addin’ emotion into them vocals, as well as BETTA rhymes!! DEFINITELY feelin’ everything that’s goin’ on in this verse, includin’ tha gangsta atttributes! Nice unknown beat transition to tha last hook, lol! Even tha fade-out to tha song sounded REAL GOOD on tha ending!! My Rating: 4.6


½time: Lookin’ REAL GOOD, Max!! Gates took your shine on that last song, lol! It was 75% Gates, 25% you, as he just WANTED that song, lol! Anyway, you’re lookin’ REAL GOOD wit all these songs!! Keep it up wit tha rhymes and tha production; you’ll have a REAL NICE commercial from me!! Doin’ tha damn thang wit an average CD rating of currently 4.4!!


06. “Look At My”
I like how there’s a ? for tha followin’ word in tha title; that’s a plus! I wonder what we’re “lookin’ at,” lol? >>> LOL @ tha Rock type of start; looks like this gon be REAL interestin’!! Nice mix wit tha Hip-Hop!! Tha 1st verse iz soundin’ good; you KNOW you gotta “pop a Max Pain pill!” Nice job on tha 1st verse, and it sounds like tha hook iz headin’ towards tha swag subject wit all tha nouns/objects (“whip,” “bitch,” “clothes,” etc.)! I’m definitely likin’ tha flow on this too; DOIN’ IT BIG!! Nice job on tha 2nd verse too, as you’re just unstoppable wit what you do!! Tha 3rd verse was just you wit a NICE self-esteem; there’s NOTHIN’ negative goin’ wrong wit you, ya dig! My Rating: 4.5


07. “Big Booty Judy”
LOL @ tha title!! I rememba seein’ this on Word Of South a while ago! I don’t know why I didn’t pay attention… I guess I just wanted ta wait ‘til a review came! Let’s see how much this gon make me happy!! >>> Already, LMAO @ tha beat start! I can tell this gon be tha shit!! I thought tha hook was gonna be funnier, but it ain’t dat bad; good shit though. Nice “stretch marks on dat ass lookin’ like a tiga” part, as well as all tha words pretty much rhymin’ wit “a” (replace of “er”) words! Not bad on tha 1st verse; you IN LUV! Tha 2nd verse was just okay also. Let’s see what’s goin’ on wit tha 3rd verse… Okay, it’s betta than tha 2nd verse, more on a gymnastics style, lol! Catchy song right here; it’ll prolly attract a lotta people, lol! My Rating: 4.2


08. “Can We Get Down”
Looks like a sequel ta Ms. “Judy,” ROFL!! >>> It must be a sequel; I hear a female in tha beginning. This iz slower than tha “Judy” song, but a lil’ too slow here… It still a good hook though. Sounds like you STILL in luv on tha 1st verse! Pretty good 1st verse; you REALLY have a heart when it comes ta gettin’ someone else’s heart, ya dig! Tha 2nd verse sounded like you still keepin’ yourself motivated fa luv; + ta dat! Pretty good song here; kinda like an R&B song for tha Pop charts. My Rating: 3.8


09. “Worry Don’t Pay No Bills” Feat. Keith Jacobs
I hope this featured artist iz interestin’; lookin’ forward ta this one! >>> A darker beat intro here. I guess tha featured artist iz anotha singer; hope he sounds good on tha hook or whateva he’s on. Tha talkin’ in tha beginning sounds like it gon make tha song sound good! I’m hearin’ tha 1st verse, and it’s soundin’ interestin’; gotta feel tha beat throughout tha verse! Nice job wit tha shit you spit in tha 1st verse! Tha hook iz catchy wit a combination between tha Keith Jacobs dude! I thought fa a second that there was a comma after “worry” in tha title as somethin’ like “don’t worry, don’t pay no bills.” But, “worry” iz used as an adjective in tha title; catchy! You’re doin’ a NICE job on tha 2nd verse, as you got tha strength ta handle ANY verse, ya dig!! Nice beat ending, includin’ a cold ending too! My Rating: 4.3


10. “When It Reigns”
Not sure if I’ll be crazy about this song. When I usually see “reign” in a title, it brings some fear in me. Let’s see anyway… >>> And, it’s “rainin’” in tha beginning. Okay, tha beat izn’t that bad for a start; sounds pretty good fa what it iz, includin’ tha “rainin’.” No! Not a sample in tha hook! I think havin’ samples in hooks are played out… I can somewhat deal wit it though, so it ain’t that bad. It sounds like though, on tha 1st verse, you’re DEFINITELY defeatin’ tha purpose of havin’ stress! I like your “blessed, but I ain’t even sneeze” part! Tha hook iz pretty good, and it makes me forget about tha vocal sample; I like how you spell “R-E-I-G-N.” Tha lyrics in tha 2nd verse are soundin’ STRONG too fa what they are! My Rating: 4.0


11. “Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me”
Anotha “worry” song, and this iz tha ending… I hope this one iz TIGHT like tha last “worry” song!! >>> Ooh, interestin’ beat start here; it’s different! Glad tha ending ain’t boring! Oh, what’s those kids or choir in tha hook? Not too crazy about tha hook… Soundin’ good on tha 1st verse though, Max, so I’ll give you props on dat! I like your “deep breath *gasps*” part! Pretty good rhymes, and although this may not be an iPod song fa me, this’ll at least do pretty good on this review. I like all your “dawg” parts in tha 2nd verse. Tha lyrics still sound pretty good on tha 2nd verse too; lol @ tha random “my baby mama shake her ass” fa this song! Even a “hot dog,” lol, was added ta this song! Tha 3rd verse had a nice start ta it; you KNOW I like my “play my hand” type of parts when it comes ta card games! A shorter 3rd verse, but it did what it did… I don’t know what ta rate this… Not my kinda song, but it sounded good overall (minus parts of tha hook). My Rating: 3.9


Overall: NICE job right here, Max Minelli!! You did tha damn thang, spit a WHOLE LOT fa only 11 songs!! You STILL doin’ it BIG, and I HOPE you continue ta do so!! It prolly won’t be long ‘til we see anotha CD from you too, so I BETTA get workin’ on tha commercial within tha next few weeks!
