Review #393: A.u. "Gold Kush, Gold Bars"

Reviewed on 2.07.2010 (Review #393)




Got anotha review comin’ right at cha on tha Superbowl!! Here goes my next review for A.u. “Gold Kush, Gold Bars”! Start Time: 9:41 PM | End Time: 10:59 PM


Quick Note: 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) so 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.

01. “Story Of Me”
How will this be for an intro song? >>> This beat start iz pretty catchy for a piano. It’s slowly gettin’ betta; hope it continues to!! Tha rhymes DEFINITELY are pretty good here; LOTS of consistentness, ya dig!! Keep tha hotness comin’, ya heard me! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Use Somebody”
I know what this title iz but what would you do on it? >>> It iz tha song I’m thinkin’ of by tha Kings Of Leon (or somethin’ like dat) and tha sample sounds like pitched higher or somethin’… It’s okay, yet a lil’ interestin’ here. Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good; nothin’ really borin’ here. Nice job wit tha 1st verse, ya dig! Tha 2nd verse pretty good too. It may not be a Baton Rouge sound but it’s cool fa what it iz. My Rating: 4.1


03. “Run Through”
Looks like this’ll be good! I rememba tha song about “runnin’” or somethin’ on tha mixtape wit Gutta and that was hot! Hope this iz just as good! >>> Nice start here; why did tha quality decrease? It’s a jacked beat (since you said, “Shout out ta Wiz Khalifa”)? Pretty good so far… Good rappin’ wit a bunch of shit goin’ on; you feelin’ good wit this shit. Oh, only one verse? No wonder, it’s a jacked beat. My Rating: 4.2


04. “Leave Da Tags On It”
Lookin’ like a fresh song here… >>> Sounds like a Gutta Boy Gucci song so you’re on point here. This sounds like what a typical rapper’ll put out but it sounds cool on your song. You doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse; glad you have tight music! Tha 2nd verse sounds cool wit tha “smokin’ on sum purple stuff” as well as havin’ your “gas tank full.” My Rating: 4.3


05. “Dey Know” Feat. iKane & Gutta Boy Gucci
Tha “Feat.” shit looks perfect on tha mp3 info, lol! I would source it just like dat! >>> Not a jacked beat but a Vybe beat!! Tha hook DEFINITELY comin’ through hard!! What’s up wit coKane’s tag here and there on every song he’s on? Nice job wit tha 1st verse; good shit to tha fullest!! Tha 2nd verse comin’ through strong; nice job, A.u.! I guess dat was coKane dat did his thang on tha 1st verse; I almost couldn’t tell at first… How will tha boy Gutta do on tha 3rd verse? Pretty good paced flow here. He did his thang; a BETTA iKane song here! My Rating: 4.4


06. “Haters Gettin’ Mad”
LOL, this song again! >>> Oh wait a sec., this was on tha “Gucci By Gucci” mixtape; it wasn’t even you? You made your own version of this too, lol? Tha 1st verse sounds cool wit your flow; it’s DEFINITELY catchy! You did ya thang on tha 1st verse; I might like your version betta than Gutta’s! Tha 2nd verse iz catchy; you DEFINITELY doin’ a nice job on this shit, ya dig! My Rating: 4.3


07. “Do Ya Right”
What’ll this joint be like? >>> Oh no, not tha slow lady songs again. Okay hook but not really my interest. You’re very dedicated on tha 1st verse here, lol. You said, “I can be a slut everyday of tha week;” huh? Weird 2nd verse… My Rating: 2.1


08. “No Punch-Ins”
Looks like a good title; let’s see! >>> Oh shit, only 1:23 on tha length? This’ll be quick… Pretty good so far on this shit right chea! Just regular rappin’ at its finest. My Rating: 4.0


09. “No Nuts, No Glory” Feat. Tezzy Maine & Gutta Boy Gucci
This iz a collaboration I will LIKE!! >>> Nice start so far wit tha beat! I predict a Vybe beat, ya dig! …I didn’t hear a beat tag but tha intro was pretty good. Tha hook iz soundin’ like it’s good! LOL, Gutta startin’ this thang off. Gotta feel tha flow on this shit here; gr8 voice fa tha track! Tha 2nd verse iz off to a good start; gotta feel this type of shit here! It’s on tha motivational tip so you know it pays off! It must be Tezzy on tha 3rd verse, doin’ a nice job on this shit as well! LOL @ tha quick ending. My Rating: 4.4


½time: Lookin’ like a NICE mixtape so far!! This iz a betta start than one or two of tha previous ones I reviewed earlier today! Tha average CD rating currently iz 4.0; thumbs up!


10. “Eat That Thang” Feat. Gutta Boy Gucci
OF COURSE, Gutta had ta be on a title like this!! I know y’all are known for tha female songs but wit “eat” in tha title, I hope this iz dirtier!! >>> Nice beat intro here! DEFINITELY on a “hungry” side for tha 1st verse! You doin’ ya thang here; gr8 job wit tha female-type lyrics! Tha beat nearly reminds me of dat “Drop It Low” song; very similar… Tha hook DEFINITELY was catchy too! I don’t think you “21” yet, Gutta. He born in ’89 and I’m ’88; I think he born after June? I somewhat forget… But, all that matters iz Gutta doin’ tha damn thang on this verse/song! My Rating: 4.5


11. “Like A White Boy” Feat. Gutta Boy Gucci
What’s up wit this title, lol? >>> LOL @ tha uptempo BPM. This iz different and tha title iz different fa this… Oh, tha hook iz nice! You showin’ luv to tha “white boyz” here; club banga it sounds like. Cool 1st verse here; this iz a good anthem! What’ll tha gutta dude Gutta do, lol? LMAO @ him and his rappin’ on a 110-128ish BPM track!! SO GR8 HERE!! LOL @ tha start to tha 3rd verse; sounded like tha voice increased or somethin’. Either way, you know tha clubs’ll luv this, A.u.! My Rating: 4.4


12. “Coke Flow”
Not even 100 seconds long; what’ll this be like? >>> Kinda “soft” like “coke” (lol) for a start. Tha hook iz a sample and iz betta than some of tha otha samples y’all choose for beats. Sad dat you “lost people from tha white gurl.” I can’t picture “sniffin’” a drug; can’t picture it. How does it EXACTLY import into your nose?? My Rating: 4.1


13. “I’m So Zooted”
LOL, what word iz “zooted?” >>> Tha start sounds HOT! Iz this gon be a smokin’ anthem? Nearly like a Young Jeezy-type of beat here that sounds good. Tha hook iz nice and tha title sounds like it rhymes wit a Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em line, lol. Tha 1st verse flowed nice; good shit. You got some good shit comin’ for tha 2nd verse here; glad “you and Gutta blowin’ on some good.” I don’t like dat you “cut class for grass” though. Tha weed can get a plus but I always find it EMBARASSIN’ to tha FULLEST to even be late or miss class!! Tha 2nd verse wasn’t that bad though… My Rating: 4.3


14. “Benjamin Franklin” Feat. Gutta Boy Gucci & Tezzy Maine
A typical topic so let’s see what we got… >>> LOL, you feelin’ “Gucciless” in tha beginning as you didn’t source Gutta on this one? Tha beat iz pretty cool and tha hook iz good. Gutta soundin’ good on tha 1st verse too, really spittin’ more of his shit. I hear someone comin’ up for tha 2nd verse… Oh, I didn’t realize anotha dude made it ta this song too (Tezzy Maine); what was tha forgettin’ about? He doin’ a pretty good job wit his verse too. He did his thang throughout tha whole rest of tha song! And you came through towards tha end, contributin’ a good chunk. My Rating: 4.2


15. “Something I Should Know” Feat. Tezzy Maine
Now you got Tezzy on tha feature, lol! A longer song wit 4:22 on tha length so let’s see y’all do tha damn thang! >>> A lil’ odd on tha start; we haven’t had this happen to this mixtape except once so far! Let’s keep thangz up!! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good on this okay beat. Tha hook iz so dry it’s not even funny! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good; Tezzy spittin’ some catchy shit. Here you are on tha 3rd verse… It was not bad but tha 1st verse was betta… My Rating: 3.6


16. “You Can’t Buy It”
I know… “You can’t buy…” an A.u., lol; you’re priceless, lol! >>> This beat start DEFINITELY sounds like Vybe and it sounds cool!! I didn’t hear a beat tag but you sound like you wanna be cool here. Tha hook sounds good; it’s mainly about “your swag.” You’re Mr. “FAF: Fly As Fuck;” <- LOL @ when I wrote tha “as;” I accidently typed “Au;” lol!! Tha 1st verse was cool; you’re bein’ yourself so that’s a plus! Good job contributin’ wit tha 2nd verse too; you’re luvable ta buku people based off this song (by tha way you sound). My Rating: 4.0


17. “What Shall I Do”
I wonder what this question leads to… >>> You “had ta light up two blunts fa this one?” Interestin’… Tha beat iz pretty “gutta” (like your boy, lol) and tha hook iz pretty good; I thought it would lead inta boringness. Soundin’ good for tha streetz here wit tha 1st verse; nice job. You’re representin’ on tha 2nd verse, especially for “BoRob Ent.!” My Rating: 3.9


18. “You On That Shit”
Tha last song of tha night? I damn-near reviewed 100 songs within this day, lol! >>> Ta end it off, we got a good beat intro here! I didn’t expect tha hook ta be what was 1st and it sounds HOT!! I like how tha title sounds; glad it repeats here and there, ESPECIALLY durin’ tha 2nd ½ of tha hook!! You doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1st verse; DEFINITELY tight here!! What a GR8 ending song here!! Glad you left tha night energetic!! Tha beat breakdown @ 2:07 (lol, today’s date) sounded hot! It was like a second long, doin’ it nicely!! LOL @ tha near-ending wit “I gets ‘higher’ like ‘Creed’;” DEFINITELY hot and lol once again @ tha cold-ass ending!! My Rating: 4.5


Overall: I wasn’t sure of my anticipation at first but 15/18 songs were 4.0 or higher ratings!! That’s DEFINITELY watz good!! Although I feel dat I like Gutta Boy Gucci’s “God’s Gift” and “Gucci By Gucci” CDs a lil’ betta, this DEFINITELY did tha damn thang!! Keep up tha gr8 work!!
