Review #444: Ricky B "Dedicating It To You, New Orleans"

Reviewed on 5.06.2010 (Review #444)




It’s my triple 4’d review, lol (only my 3rd for today)! Up next iz Ricky B “Dedicating It To You, New Orleans”! Start Time: 3:56 PM | End Time: 4:53 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.

LOL, here comes tha upbeat beat and you doin’ tha damn thang wit repeatin’ dat word in tha title, lol! Tha content iz aight fa a start; you got tha flow on lock at least. I like tha “you tied just like a ribbon in tha sky” part towards tha end of tha 2nd verse; keep tha catchiness comin’ along, bruh! You held tha 3rd verse down too as you keepin’ it 100 wit yourself! My Rating: 4.1

09. Commercial
Let’s see what’s poppin’ right chea… >>> LOL, more singin’ skits, lol? I dunno about these remade vocals though as you’re just takin’ songs’ vocals and presentin’ ‘em your way. It iz catchy though. My Rating: N/A

Ooh, this looks like it’ll be interestin’, lol!! >>> Jazzful start, lol! You doin’ ya thang, live, on this beat right chea!! REALLY feelin’ your fast-ass rappin’ wit dis shit!! I DEFINITELY like how tha beat sounds, ya dig!! You spittin’ some gangsta shit on tha 2nd verse right chea; DEFINITELY feelin’ this to tha fullest!!

11. “Granna Told Me”
I don’t know what I’ll think of this… Can I have a Bounce beat? >>> Okay, definitely not sad! Sounds like you still bringin’ your catchiness to tha table right chea on tha 1st verse!! Still showin’ luv ta all tha hoods to tha fullest!! Tha rest of it sounded a lil’ bit like tha same but you still held it down. My Rating: 4.1


12. “Putt ‘Em On The Globe (Hyped-Up)”
Looks like a GR8 title; what’ll it sound like? >>> Feelin’ this style right chea, ya dig. Tha beat iz nice and 90’s style wit you REALLY “hyped-up!!” You still have your same formula here; I think it should switch up a tiny bit on some of these songs. Like, this song should have maybe some traffickin’ lyrics or maybe a more “hyped-up” you? Okay, it sounds a lil’ betta around tha 2:20ish area. Tha last verse a lil’ catchy wit how you’re presentin’ it… My Rating: 4.2


13. “Party Over Here (Club)”
Club version? Let’s see what’s up here… >>> Sounds like “Rappers Delight” for tha beat. Tha lyrics are kinda typical when it comes ta this party-type shit but it’s still good. You definitely come through good and energetic on tha hook, ya dig. Sounds like you got some good rhymes before tha 2:00 mark wit tha consistent rhymin’. My Rating: 4.1


14. “Who’s In The House”
You DEFINITELY are, ya dig! Let’s see what’s goin’ on wit dis song… >>> Nice lil’ upbeat feelin’ for tha start here. Sounds like you gettin’ down wit dis shit right chea in a good way, ya dig. You holdin’ it down fa tha parties to tha fullest. You keepin’ this shit goin’ on tha 2nd verse too; nice and upbeat wit my boy! My Rating: 4.0


15. “City Streets”
Let’s hear some street shit, ya dig! >>> I hear tha Bounce beat comin’ through for tha beginning… LOL, you sound good on this lil’ Jazz-influenced Bounce beat! You got tha shit goin’ on here… Iz this one of tha otha songs on here? I heard a “chill” part or somethin’ dat I think I heard on one of tha otha songs… Either way, good job once again wit dis shit. My Rating: 4.3


16. “What School In The House (Campus)”
LOL @ this title for tha endin’; should be good! >>> You got tha beginning on lock, ya dig! You got a nice beat here; a lil’ bit near tha Dance/Techno side! It sounds like tha same beat Missy Elliott used for “Lose Control.” You holdin’ this shit down pretty nice wit tha rhymes and flow! I like how it sounds gangsta around 1:10; good shit! Although I’m almost bored wit tha longness, I just have ta say dat you’re a REAL GR8 representa!!! VERY, VERY GOOD wit representin’ out ta SOOOOOOO many/buku people!!! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: You kept this CD VERY consistent; that’s a good thing! Glad you did ‘cause I was definitely feelin’ it!! You must LUV this Rap shit; thumbs up!!
