Review #429: Face Forever "R.A.W."

Reviewed on 5.04.2010 (Review #429)




Keepin’ tha record goin’… Here’s REVIEW #9 for today: Face Forever “R.A.W.”!! Look at dat title!! I’ve been anticipatin’ this one for A WHILE now!!! Lemme FINALLY check it out!!!!! Red Rum Records in tha buildin’ right chea!! Start Time: 9:00 PM | End Time: 9:30 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.

There’s an appostrophe in “Amerika’s”. Anyway, here I go!!! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ beat start right chea!! Feelin’ tha Southern vibe and kick-in at :26! I’m hearin’ tha 1st verse here and it sounds like some good hood shit right chea; DEFINITELY on point, ya feel me!! Nice and long for a 1st verse wit 100% street content here dat’s CONTINUOUS!! Tha otha dude in tha group sounds good on tha 2nd verse here; gotta luv tha continuous sounds of dat street shit!!
