Review #417: Fizz "Just Da Beginning"

Reviewed on 4.24.2010 (Review #417)




Keepin’ these reviewz comin’, tha next one iz from my boy Fizz, who I randomly added on MySpace. His mixtape, “Just Da Beginning,” iz here and I gon review it right now!! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta some new shit!! Start Time: 10:10 AM | End Time: 10:39 AM


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. “No Games”
Still gotta say it: I’m lookin’ forward!! >>> Feelin’ this beat intro here; lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! Shit yea, you sound good on this shit right chea! I like tha “Fizz/225” vibe here on tha track right here; good job wit tha 1st verse! Tha hook sounds catchy; I just really like how you comin’ through wit this shit! DEFINITELY a catchy flow of rhymes wit tha 2nd verse here; good shit, my dawg! You got dat gutta shit wit tha “beat yo azz” line; good-ass shit! My Rating: 4.5


02. “Cool Like That”
Keepin’ this shit bumpin’, what will we have for tha next song? You KNOW I’m lookin’ forward ta your music!! >>> WTF @ tha start? Where’s tha rappin’? Much betta but my anticipation was squashed due to tha weird singin’ start in tha hook. Pretty good 1st verse from you and as far as tha hook, it would’ve been betta if it started afta tha 1st verse and didn’t come outta nowhere. ROFL, only one verse? LOL! I didn’t even pay attention to tha length! My Rating: 3.7


03. “I’m Thuggin’ It”
I agree; you gutta on tha mic! >>> Feelin’ this original production to tha fullest, ya dig! This iz a MUCH BETTA hook start; str8 up gutta shit!!! You REALLY tha shit on tha hook right chea!! “I’m in tha streetz like dat work / I hustle hard ta smoke dat purp;” fuckin’ right, big dawg!! Keepin’ this shit comin’, tha 1st verse’s finally here at 1:02 wit tha catchy beat sounds too!! I’m feelin’ tha real life street shit here! You makin’ a lyrical song sound good wit tha catchy flow, lyrics and beat! That’s what it takes ta make a lyrical song sound good! Tha 1st verse (or it looks like it gon be just a verse?) sounds kinda long; I can’t picture only one verse within a length of 3:23… But, I luv tha song so that’s watz up! My Rating: 4.7


04. “She Want It”
Anotha short-ass song wit only 1:55 on tha length? >>> Oh no, attack of tha short length curse wit tha hook again! This one ain’t dat bad but when tha last song went hard, tha intro kinda threw me off. Either way, not bad on tha hook; sounds good overall. Let’s see what you got on tha 1st verse… Doin’ tha damn thang on this beat right chea! Interestin’ beat sounds again, ya dig! I like how it sounds once tha 1:00 mark comes! Pretty good rhymes from you too once again; I always feel how you come through on tha mic! Tha hook sounds much betta when I hear it tha 2nd time! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Dough Like Homer”
Anotha really short song? >>> This sounds good fa a start; massive production here!!! Tha Lil’ Wayne sample sounds cool and so iz tha title, lol! Here comes dat real-ass voice of yours I hear on tha 1st verse, ya dig! I’m gettin’ you on tha radio tonight too, ya heard me!! Well, I’m gonna add you but I’m shufflin’ tha songs so you’ll have a chance… “I will fuck you up like Haiti;” gutta-ass shit!! Goes ta show you this iz 2010 and nothin’ older, ya dig! My Rating: 4.4


½time: I’m DEFINITELY diggin’ this shit right chea, my dawg!! You got tha production on lock and your rappin’, street style, REALLY works fa me!! Keep doin’ tha damn thang and I can’t believe there’s anotha six songs fa me ta hear!! Tha average CD rating iz 4.3 currently!!


06. “No Place Like 225”
That’s nice but why so short of a length (1:31)? >>> Interestin’ beat start; lol, I thought it fainted at :10? LOL… Now, I hear tha hook and it’s REAL, REAL TIGHT!!! You DEFINITELY tellin’ tha truth here ‘bout “225;” FUCKIN’ LUVIN’ ERR-BODY IN “225!!!” These songs would be PERFECT for my radio show fa where I have ta play short songs; glad you got a bunch of ‘em! A lotta songs I play are like 4:00 – 4:40 on tha length and it makes me have ta skip two spots so now dat I have short songs of yours, it’ll help! DEFINITELY a REAL TIGHT verse and tha hook just REAL GR8 wit this REAL GR8 production!!! My Rating: 4.8


07. “Strip Club” Feat. Plex
Your only feature here… Let’s see what you got wit a regular length this time (3:52)… >>> Feelin’ tha beat intro once again; rises my anticipation! I know tha producer from somewhere (Johnny Juliano?) and he does a good job on tha beats! Tha hook sounds GR8, “strip club” style! Nice job on this relaxin’ beat here!! You doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse, sex-scene style! Nice job wit this shit right chea! This whole CD has evalastin’ quality!! You sound like you REALLY enjoyin’ tha scene here on tha 2nd verse; good shit, my dawg! Iz tha featured artist singin’ on tha hook? I guess so ‘cause there’s not much left of tha song… I thought he was gonna be a rapper or somethin’. My Rating: 4.3


08. “Hood Days”
What do we got here for 2:29 on tha length? >>> Sounds like a JB beat or somethin’ in tha beginning. Pretty good, relaxin’ beat right chea… You sound good on tha hook wit tha “smoke some purp” shit; feelin’ good, huh, bruh? Hah bruh, lol. Good job wit tha 1st verse here; feelin’ tha vibe and err-thang you bringin’ to tha table for tha “hood,” ya dig! I don’t know why I say, “1st verse;” there’s only one verse. My Rating: 4.4


09. “What It Is”
Two flat minutes, lol? >>> I get anticipated when I hear a beat tag in tha beginning, ya dig! This song shows your rapid style here; feelin’ it!! Sounds REAL HOT from :39 - :1:01!!! I should purposely radio edit this (which I will) to show people I can radio edit somethin’ that’s REALLY, REALLY fast!! I may lose my mind for a second while tryin’ to find tha explicits in tha song but you KNOW I can handle it! Glad you kept it gutta ALL tha way through; two minutes str8!!!!! My Rating: 4.9


10. “Addicted To Money”
I have a feelin’ what this’ll be; let’s see if I’m right! >>> I saw tha title and instantly thought it was tha Lil’ Scrappy beat but it’s original! Actually, it’s tha same sample but it sounds REAL GOOD on this beat!! Sounds like you have a real good verse here; glad you doin’ tha damn thang on this WHOLE CD!!! Keep tha gutta-ass shit comin’ along, bruh!! My Rating: 4.5


11. “Letter To You”
One more song (yet tha longest at only 4:00)! This’ll determine where your average CD rating’ll go! More weight iz bein’ held ‘cause you only have 11 songs on here; tha weight iz heavier! >>> Okay intro but I don’t think this’ll be tha best for an ending… It’s betta than those typical, depressin’ endings. I think tha hook iz aight but it sounds betta wit tha repeatin’ “l-letter” part. Here you are on tha 1st verse and it sounds good; glad you holdin’ shit down! Pretty good 1st verse (yup, 1st finally, lol) from you; what else will you have on here? Lemme comment tha cover real quick: You should’ve used a different color than light green for tha text; it’s too bright. Plus, “thugin’” ain’t spelled like dat; it’s “thuggin’.” I don’t know how it crossed my mind when I reviewed tha song… Anyway, good job wit tha 2nd verse too on this; glad you keepin’ shit real! Nice cold, quick ending too! My Rating: 3.9


Overall: LOL, I reviewed it in only 29 minutes! DEFINITELY HOTNESS here!!! Only 11 songs (most bein’ short) but it goes ta show you dat you can make REAL GOOD music wit tha right production, correct hood life and a GR8 voice you have!!! Glad you have a HUGE amount of talent and keep it up!! Keep makin’ CDs and droppin’ dat heat, ya dig!!!
