Review #422: Da Click "Am I My Brother's Keeper"

Reviewed on 5.04.2010 (Review #422)




Keepin’ this shit goin’ on “504 Day” (meanin’ dat tha date iz 5/04), I gon hop into tha next review already! This next review in my marathon iz Da Click “Am I My Brother’s Keeper”! Rude Boy Entertainment in tha buildin’!! Start Time: 11:55 AM | End Time: 12:45 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. “I’m Coming”
How will this start off? I feel anticipated! >>> Tha start doesn’t sound dat anticipatin’… Iz this fa real? Nothin’ iz goin’ on in tha beat and it sounds R&Bish for a few people dat look like dey from tha hood… This iz EASILY tha WORST start to any CD/tape in my marathon, also EVA; not even Louisiana IMO! My Rating: 1.0


02. “Ain’t No Love”
So, this iz an R&B CD? Why iz there an “explicit lyrics” warning on tha cover? SMH… This ain’t NOWHERE NEAR explicit!! >>> FINALLY, rappin’!!! This at least has somethin’ goin’ on wit tha beat and tha singin’ gives it a good vibe fa tha song. Glad there’s rhymes finally and they sound gr8, ya dig! I hear tha actual hook and it sounds good; nice job wit tha rhymes and catchiness! Tha dude on tha 2nd verse sounds good too; catchiness wit tha flow/voice. Tha 3rd verse has some good street content here; definitely feelin’ it! I felt dat tha 3rd verse was tha best by far; gotta luv when rappers come through wit dat street shit! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Coming Out The Boot”
Looks like this CD/tape’s makin’ a NICE comeback from tha 1st joint!! >>> I thought tha beginning beat was gonna scare me at first but I’m glad y’all added some elements to it! Shit yeah, likin’ this joint right chea!! Gotta luv tha Louisiana hook; gangsta-ass shit here!! Speakin’ of keepin’ it G, tha 1st verse doin’ tha damn thang to tha fullest!! “Flows might scare ya;” glad y’all prepared!! Gotta luv when tha title iz said buku times!! Tha 2nd verse starts off interestin’ wit tha “nine years old in tha projects” line; good shit! Tha 3rd verse has tha same dude again on tha verse and it’s soundin’ gr8 once again; continuous consistency! My Rating: 4.7


04. “Mo Murder”
Shit yeah!! Glad tha titles are gettin’ “mo” and “mo” gutta!! >>> Likin’ tha lil’ sample in tha beginning wit tha gangsta-ass beat start! I REALLY like tha flow on tha 1st verse here; REAL crazy!! Make dat “krazy” wit a “K” ‘cause it’s just too hot!! Luvin’ tha gangsta style here once again also!! Tha 2nd verse has tha same dude and this shit’s just so consistent!! REAL GLAD y’all on dat street shit to tha fullest!! Glad we got tha same dude on tha 3rd verse too; keep tha gangsta-ass shit comin’!! NEVA gettin’ tired of it!! My Rating: 4.6


05. “G-Funk Era”
Interestin’ title; glad it’s “G-Funk,” ya dig! >>> Soundin’ pretty “funky” and slow for a start… I thought this was gonna be an R&B song fa a second but it’s gr8 rappin’ once again!! DEFINITELY enjoyin’ tha beginnin’ of this joint as tha 1st verse holds it down!! Tha hook has a REAL NICE sound to it wit tha singin’ and then tha dude on tha 1st verse doin’ his thang! Tha content fa tha 2nd verse iz SO GOOD; just LUVIN’ tha SHIT outta this STREET SHIT!!!!! Tha 3rd verse sounds good, as it’s consistent as a ma’fucka! Tha ending of tha verse was SO, SO GR8 wit tha “blazin’ up anotha one” part; luvin’ it, LUVIN’ IT!!!!! My Rating: 4.9


½time: Despite tha 1st song, tha average CD rating iz a 3.9 right now! I feel this tape iz MUCH betta than 3.9 so I HOPE tha rest of tha songs can keep up this REAL HOT street/gangsta shit!!! Luvin’ how y’all comin’ on tha mic and wit tha GR8 style!!!!!


06. “Never Had Love”
Iz this tha same song as tha #2? >>> No, it’s not; I wonder why it’s a radio edit already? Iz there a dirty version? Either way, it’s cool but tha sample dirty so how iz it a radio edit? Oh shit, neva mind, someone labeled it wrong, lol; this ain’t a radio edit. Anyway, tha 1st verse sounds REAL, REAL TIGHT wit tha “polos and Girbauds;” fuckin’ luv y’all to tha fullest!! Hope y’all still around so I can fuck wit y’all on some real-ass shit!! Tha 2nd verse applied a nice attribute ta this joint right chea; good shit! Tha 3rd verse sounds like it’s betta than tha 2nd verse; gr8 content here! Tha endin’ sounds cool; sounds like anotha smokin’ endin’ wit tha inhalin’! My Rating: 4.5


07. “Tell Me”
What will lucky #7 be like? >>> Oh no, a slow-ass start… I hope there’s good-ass rappin’ in this! Okay, glad there’s rappin’ (although it took ova a minute)! A lil’ on tha laid-back-type here… I don’t know how crazy I’ll be fa this one but I’m just glad there’s rappin’. Tha 2nd verse has pretty good rhymes in it although tha flow iz a lil’ too much on tha quiet side… Too bad there wasn’t a 3rd verse… Just a long-ass outro here… My Rating: 3.4


08. “Rob And Steal”
I feel like there’s gold shinin’ on me when I see a title like dis!! Dis should be REAL good, ya dig!! DEFINITELY lookin’ REAL forward ta this one!!! >>> Glad it’s nearly five minutes long!! Tha beat DEFINITELY iz on sum G-Funk shit!! Tha 1st verse sounds REAL TIGHT wit tha street/drug-type lyrics/content!!! Sounded kinda short fa a verse but at least tha 2nd verse came right away! Gr8 content right chea; luvin’ how y’all come through from tha streetz in a perspective! Tha 3rd verse has some nice shit about tha cops here; glad this shit continues to tha fullest!! Not even ½ way through tha song!!! There’s a 4th verse here and I’m glad there’s a lotta contribution to this song right chea! My Rating: 4.7


09. “We Gets High”
Shit-fuckin’-yeah!!! I’m BLEEDIN’ wit anticipation!!! >>> Yes, ANOTHA joint almost five minutes long!! Thumbs up ta tha inhalin’ and tha talkin’ in tha beginning!!! Afta a REAL GR8 41 second talk intro, I hear a sample and a beat kick in; good shit! It fits GR8 for a hook and now, here’s tha 1st verse! Just luvin’ what we got here (on tha street tip)!! REAL GR8 ending to tha 1st verse wit, “Pass me sum zigzagz so I can roll me a spliff;” fuckin’ luv y’all ta death!! I like tha “365, I’m gettin’ high, brutha” start to tha 2nd verse; y’all tha shit!! Tha 3rd verse REALLY sounds gr8 wit how tha dude gettin’ high and shit; REAL, REAL TIGHT!!! I can’t even stress it any more of HOW TIGHT this iz!!! Tha outro sounds tight as hell too, ya dig!! Luvin’ tha last 30 seconds too wit “This ya boy Big Blunt;” got a BIG-ASS heart POUNDIN’ fa dis REAL TIGHT undaground Louisiana Rap shit!!! My Rating: 4.9


10. “Never Had Love II”
A Part 2? Iz this tha radio edit? >>> Nope, not a radio edit but it’s cool dat there’s a continuation from tha 1st one! LOL @ tha start ta tha 1st verse; “1993, I played hoes like Nintendo games;” ROFL! I heard tha “polos and Girbauds” part again; thumbs up, ya dig! Tha beat sounds REAL NICE and some REAL TIGHT shit ta get high to! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good too; gotta luv how y’all come through wit tha shit y’all spit!! Glad tha 3rd verse sounds good too once again! This just as good as tha original but I think I like tha vibe of this one betta. My Rating: 4.6


Overall: Y’all DEFINITELY made a HUGE comeback from tha 1st joint on here, ya dig!! Startin’ off wit an average CD rating of 3.9 in tha ½ point and JUMPIN’ up 3/10 iz tha way ta do it!! Y’all DEFINITELY have REAL, REAL TIGHT raps, ya dig!! Keep up tha gr8 work and once again, I REALLY hope I can fuck wit y’all on some real-ass shit!! I’ll promote tha shit outta y’all!!!
