Review #458: Mookie Blakk "Since Nobody Else Will"

Reviewed on 5.20.2010 (Review #458)


Back at this… Had ta take a lil’ break ‘cause I had ta just organize all tha videos and older files I had on my desktop computer but I’m a lil’ revived ta go into review mode! So now, here I finally go and review this shit right chea! This review iz Mookie Blakk “Since Nobody Else Will”!! Start Time: 12:50 PM | End Time: 1:55 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. “Feel Me”
Only two flat minutes on tha length? Iz this gon be an intro or just a track? >>> Sounds like it’ll be a cool intro track here wit tha “Gotta Get It” beat; will this be a jacked beat CD? LOL @ tha “Mickey D’s” (or whateva it iz) part; sounds good on tha hook! You got shit on lock here fa tha 1st verse; DEFINITELY feel your catchy voice and flow at all times when it comes ta this Rap shit! “Colder than a glass of lemonade in tha shade;” fuckin’ right! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Kickin’ In 2”
A Part 2? I thought this was tha original version? >>> Okay, it makes sense wit tha length not even two minutes… It’s tha “Loose As A Goose” beat and tha hook sounds REAL HOT on this although it was much betta wit tha otha original beat! DEFINITELY feelin’ this though; you DEFINITELY choose HOT beats fa your songs, no matter if they’re jacked or original!! I always play tha 1st version on my radio show; you KNOW I show luv! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Come Up”
Anotha song only two minutes long? >>> Whateva this beat iz, it sounds pretty good. Sounds like a Young Jeezy-type beat. You’re makin’ this shit catchy on tha hook; thumbs up, my boy! Keep your character comin’ through on this CD, ya dig!! Tha 1st verse sounds yummy, lol, wit tha “shrimp and lobsters” part. Too bad these songs are kinda short… My Rating: 4.2


04. “Throwed In The Party”
I have anticipation fa this…!! >>> LOL, now, we’re back at unda two minutes wit an “Ice Cream Paint Job” beat here, lol. You DEFINITELY holdin’ these beats down; feelin’ tha intro! You turned “ICPJ” inta somethin’ cool right here; I like how you handle tha hook! Tha start to tha 1st verse sounds good wit how you come “throwed in tha party,” lol. Nice job handlin’ tha verse too wit your “partyful” rhymes, lol! My Rating: 4.3


05. “In The Meantime”
Let’s see how quick you can do ya thang on this short song again… >>> LOL @ tha “Break Up” beat… You have a NICE, dark voice fa this in an R&B vs. Hip-Hop flava! My Rating: 3.9


06. “Rockie Balboa”
This made it again, only 34 seconds shorter (around)? Let’s see what’s good here since tha original songs are back… >>> Ooh, MUCH MORE REFRESHIN’ START, even though tha otha version of this song (originally labeled “Rocky Balboa”) had a NICE X-Fyle beat. Now, it’s Shonta and it sounds REAL HOT!! Nice job on tha updated hook and updated 1st verse right here!! Tha part from 2:30 – 2:32 sounded REAL, REAL HOT!!! Gotta luv tha consistent rhymes right here in tha 2nd verse!!! Ooh, a bridge fit inta this version and sounds gr8! Shit yea, you DEFINITELY a “real jiggalater,” ya dig!! DEFINITELY feelin’ tha cold ending!! My Rating: 4.7


07. “Same Thangs”
Will this be a new, original song? >>> Sounded like a really odd start compared to tha last song… Not too bad once tha beat “kicks in” (as you would say, lol) and you start rappin’. It almost sounds like DJ B-Real on tha hook tha way you sound. There’s not much ta say about tha hook so I’ll just hop onto tha 2nd verse here… Good rhymes… This passes tha test fa me ta listen to. My Rating: 3.5


08. “B-Girls” Feat. Too Short & X-Fyle
Looks like this’ll be a jacked beat song… What’ll we have here? >>> Oh, it’s original (thought it would be jacked wit tha feature) as X-Fyle’s on tha track! Ooh, tha hook sounds gr8; almost soundin’ like 90’s vs. Early 2000’s Louisiana-type shit! I like tha hook right here and this beat sounds dry but has a lotta catchiness in it wit you on it! REALLY feelin’ your flow right chea; DEFINITELY HOT shit!! I like tha “bird don’t chirp” shit towards tha end of tha 1st verse! Talk about Too Short on tha 2nd verse… Afta tha 1st few words, I identified it as a “jacked verse” (“Blow The Whistle” from 2006). I was goin’ through all my files ta put onto DVDs and I came across dat song so you KNOW I don’t forget anything! Anyway, I thought it was gonna be a real verse… LOL, what’s up wit tha 3rd verse? Different person? He said, “X-Fyle,” at tha end of tha verse so I’m assumin’ it was him rappin’; interestin’ shit. It emerged outta nowhere! My Rating: 4.4


½time: You doin’ ya thang right chea!! I’m still feelin’ your character wit tha way you rap, your voice and your flow; it’s DEFINITELY a GR8 combination of GR8 rappin’ elements, ya dig!! Keep this shit goin’ ova ANY beat, ya dig!! Average CD rating currently iz 4.2!


09. “Nama Numa”
Not tha “Life My Life” beat…; I hope not. >>> Okay, I guess this iz stayin’ original. Oh, this iz a familiar song; this was tha intro to my commercial I made you back on 2.25.2008. My bad I didn’t recognize tha title (‘cause it was originally “What Is U Sayin’”). Hearin’ tha X-Fyle beat intro again and seems like I’m LOVIN’ tha beat start!!! Wow, startin’ off REAL, REAL GOOD!!! I love tha “smoke too much/drink too much” part. What’s all tha “nama/llama nama/llama numa” shit? Feelin’ that. Your voice sounds cool on this one and now, I’m hearin’ tha 1st verse… I’m guessin’ it’s you (since there’s no featured artists on tha ID). Tha shit sounds like Shawty Lo now (lol) and it sounds good. Oh, and those random ad-libs throughout tha verse sound like Auto-Tune and it’s VERY rare that tha Auto-Tune iz used correctly ‘cause it always annoys tha shit outta me. However, I LIKED tha way tha Auto-Tune ad-libs (that’s what they sounded like to me) came out; GREAT job!! Let’s hear this 2nd verse… Less catchy from tha A-Tune shit but got better at 2:40 wit tha “I’m out my body” part; gotta feel that hook! Heard tha Auto-Tuneish part at 3:15 and 3:22 again. BTW, wit me likin’ those Auto-Tune parts, DON’T make a whole entire track wit Auto-Tune (or eva think of it); those lil’ parts that sounded like it blended good. My Current Rating: 4.5


10. “Put Your Legs”
Now THIS I recognize… I rememba tha line (also used in my commercial) and tha title bein’ “Like A Pro;” I guess this iz acceptable ta have a double title and DEFINITELY iz appreciated on here too! Now, this iz slightly longer and this one’s a lil’ slower… Now, you sound like Pimp C. Nice hook and hearin’ tha 1st verse… Ol’skool Twistaish flow here. Very Texas-type here… I’m feelin’ this even though Louisiana really overshadowed Texas for me by a mile. I liked tha 1st verse on this shit and now, it’s tha 2nd verse… Feelin’ that 2nd verse. This would be a nice, relaxin’ joint to listenin’ to while on my iPod. Fa’sho, this CD’ll be on my iPod also, ya dig! You even gave Pimp C a shout-out on this (cool) as well as X-Fyle (guessin’ he produced it, again). My Current Rating: 4.3


11. “My Dawg”
Maybe this won’t be a trick, lol? >>> I like this title and it DEFINITELY iz original wit tha X-Fyle beat; too bad it’s not even 2.5 minutes long… Interestin’ hook wit tha “don’t touch my dawg” shit; you’re DEFINITELY appreciated by your homies!! And yea, NOBODY’LL “touch me,” ya dig! You sound good wit tha shit you spit on tha 1st verse and on tha hook, it reminds me of if a certain rapper would’ve jacked your style or some shit; glad you tha REAL THING!!! My Rating: 4.3


12. “U Don’t Know Me”
This looks like it’s for tha peeps dat “don’t know you;” I have a feelin’ I’ll DEFINITELY like it, of course! You KNOW I “know you,” ya dig! >>> I had a 99% thought it was gonna be X-Fyle on tha track and I was right! Sounds like good, catchy Rap music for tha hook right here wit this hot beat! Tha rhymes are catchy in multiple ways on tha 1st verse, from tha ladies to tha grindin’ to tha hard workers! LOL @ tha start to tha 2nd verse: “Muthalucka;” did I hear dat correctly? Either way, it sounds catchy when you come through wit deliverin’ tha rhymes! Sounds like “too bad” at tha end wit tha sample? Hot shit! My Rating: 4.4


13. “Bow”
“BOW!!,” lol! >>> Likin’ tha start here a LOT! You DEFINITELY “feelin’ good” when it comes ta deliverin’ dis Rap shit right chea!! You got good shit fa err-body right here on tha 1st verse; I always luv how you come through on all tha tracks!! Tha shit before tha hook DEFINITELY sounds HOT, ya dig!! I’m hearin’ tha hook now and it’s DEFINITELY real tight, ya dig!! You DEFINITELY comin’ through wit dat HOT shit once again!! You doin’ tha damn thang shoutin’ out all tha hoods on tha 2nd verse, ya dig! DEFINITELY gotta “respect your mind” to tha fullest! I thought a 3rd verse would fit but it sounds like tha hook’s repeatin’… My Rating: 4.5


14. “La La” Feat. Dyl & Cas
You puffin’ on dat “la la la la la la,” lol? Let’s see what’s really good wit dis shit ! >>> All tha songs have been original recently but this doesn’t sound original… Then again, I hear Dyl on tha intro so this iz DEFINITELY original! Why no source on tha feature? I know this song ‘cause I heard tha “slap ‘em in tha face” part (which “Slap ‘Em In Da Face” was tha original title I found on A-Mar & Dyl’s “Hard Times & Raw Rhymes” CD). Tha beat sounds more on a quiet club style (since there izn’t much goin’ on in it). Catchy hook and you doin’ a nice job on tha 1st verse. When I hear you rap, I feel like tha raps are UNSTOPPABLE!! You rap about everything and gets NO disrespect ANYWHERE!! LOL @ tha “put tha puzzle together like lego” part; that was nice! Tha unstoppable Mookie Blakk did a NICE job on tha 1st verse!! *Gasps* Dyl on tha NON-last verse (2nd verse), lol! I like how he included tha word “buku” in dis ‘cause you KNOW you gotta have tha BR slang in here! More gr8 rappin’ here that DOESN’T need a minus at all!! Great job on his verse and now, tha remainin’ verse from Cas! He nearly sounds like Dyl so I’m assumin’ he white too. Comin’ back on this CD wit tha “rollin’, rollin’, rollin’” shit! Hearin’ tha hook for tha last time and your “must have a boomerang…ass comes back” part in tha hook iz DEFINITELY REAL NICE!!! Sounded like this shit turned out pretty good! My Current Rating: 4.3


15. “Letter To The President”
I guess you’re Mookie-Political-Blakk now, lol! Let’s see your story and perspective here… >>> A slowed down “X-Fyle on tha track” tag in tha beginning; sounds pretty anticipatin’ wit this beat! I hope it continues ta sound good! As tha beat gets betta, I like tha “I pledge…” part! You sound like someone else on tha beginning of tha 1st verse wit tha letter-spellin’. However, tha rhymes sound good here, ya dig! Too bad “racism still alive in tha state you’re in.” I’m glad y’all DEFINITELY accept me fa who I am and not what color I am ‘cause I do BUKU SHIT fa y’all and y’all luv it!! It’s like you’re seein’ somethin’ you’ve neva seen before in your lives: reviewz, commercials and continuous shit!! I like tha 2nd verse wit your name repeatin’, as if they were addressin’ you in tha 3rd person! I luv how people LUV tha president and political situations in life, lol. I feel like wit my Autism, I can’t even register history or any kinda real-life political shit in my head ‘cause it’s not dat big of a strength to me… My Rating: 4.4


16. “Presidential Life”
Shit, you’re missin’ an “i” before tha “al” in tha title… Anyway, it was a simple error and not somethin’ gay like a “than” instead of “then” or vice-versa. Anyway, anotha “presidential”-type theme here? How ‘bout dat “presidential shit” you smoke? I have a feelin’ dat’s what this’ll sound like! >>> A faster “X-Fyle on tha track” tag this time, lol. Almost sounds like New York-type Rap music in tha beat here but I’m sure it’ll sound gr8 wit you on it! Also, this sounds like older New Orleans-type Louisiana Rap music dat would be on dat gangsta shit! Tha song itself iz aight for a start… Tha rhymes were cool in tha 1st verse and tha hook sounds good although there’s not much in it… I like tha Reggae style although sometimes, I feel like when people put tha Reggae shit in their songs, it reminds me of Kevin Gates all tha time. LOL, two minutes in already? Where’s tha next verse? Only one verse? Damn… Sounds like a good, short song for my radio show wit this nice, long beat outro though. My Rating: 4.0


17. “Walk Through The Valley”
Hope we don’t end it sad… >>> Almost 5.5 minutes on tha length too? I dunno… Concept did tha beat here (I think he did on tha previous ones on here too). I’m not too into this singin’ on tha hook here… I hope you revive it wit your character! Tha singer (feature) iz not listed again… Not really catchin’ onto this… It sounded too much wit tha singer mixed in wit like additional parts. LOL, don’t tell me tha beat outro iz like 3:20… Okay, tha hook came back a lil’ bit; a lil’ too long of an interlude though. There iz a 2nd verse here and it’s you, spittin’ some good hood shit at least. LOL, who would’ve guessed a 3rd verse would be here afta tha interlude? It’s an aight verse… Good rhymes though and tha production’s pretty good. My Rating: 3.1


Overall: You did tha damn thang on this CD; good shit, Mookie! I’m glad you keep this Rap shit goin’ wit all your HOT music!! Keep up tha GR8 work and keep collaboratin’ wit people!! Also, keep supportin’ tha jiggalatin’ movement like always!
