Review #468: Trakk Boii "Hate Me Or Be Like Me"

Reviewed on 5.24.2010 (Review #468)




Got tha reviewz goin’ on right now… I’m about ta do my 50TH REVIEW THIS MONTH!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!! Talk about bein’ on tha grind!!! My 50th review for May 2010 iz my boy Trakk Boii wit dat Hate Me Or Be Like Me mixtape. BTW, what happened to tha link on DatPiff? It just vanished? Anyway, I interviewed Trakk Boii not too long ago and I’m in tha process of gettin’ it on YouTube! Be on tha lookout for it! Start Time: 9:09 PM | End Time: 10:42 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.

04. “Friend ‘Til The End”
That’s what I am wit people (e.g., you) but how are most people like to me?

I like tha “holdin’ down”-type hook right chea; glad you REALLY holdin’ your peeps down!! Soundin’ like some real shit goin’ on here in tha 1st verse; I’m glad I randomly added you on MySpace too, ya dig! I luv randomly addin’ people and they’re like PURE FIYA when it comes ta rappin’ and are REAL COOL people!!

DEFINITELY feelin’ all tha real street rhymes goin’ on here, ya dig! Y’all DEFINITELY family and it works out REAL GOOD right chea!! My Rating: 4.8


06. “Never Fall”
Most definitely, you ain’t gon “fall!!” >>> Sounds like this sounds old or somethin’ in tha beginning… Tha beat sounds like Late 90’s upbeat R&B and you sound like tha Early 2000’s wit your beginning voice… Anyway, pretty good soundin’, regardless, so far. Tha hook’s not bad; betta than average… Tha 2nd verse has more street shit goin’ on here, especially (once again) wit tryin’ ta “free” your boy. My Rating: 3.8


07. “Skit (Freestyle)”
Lemme see what’s good here wit only 1:50 on tha length… >>> Sounds like a skit in tha beginning but here you are, freestylin’. Tha beat sounds original here and you have interestin’ rappin’ goin’ on here. I like tha “take a puff” part; you ALWAYS stay good, ya dig! I like tha hook a WHOLE LOT wit “we can roll whereva;” most definitely luvin’, ESPECIALLY how you sung tha word, “dawg!!” Fuck, yea, I DEFINITELY hope I hang out wit you one day, ya heard me!! My Rating: 4.5


08. “Tha Kush (Freestyle)”
What do we got here? Lookin’ like some good, good but only 41 seconds on tha length? >>> Shit, yea!! “Wake up to dat kush” wit “Coogi down!!” DEFINITELY HOT for somethin’ so short!! Nice job wit this hook; you did ya thang here!! My Rating: 4.6


09. “Do It” Feat. Mr. Serv-On
Let’s see what y’all got goin’ on right chea together!! >>> Sounds pretty anticipatin’ in tha beginning… Ooh, tha beat’s nice here and Serv-On doin’ his thang on tha hook right chea!! Definitely on tha catchy side right chea! You’re on tha 1st verse right chea and you have dat REAL gutta voice!! DEFINITELY nice job wit deliverin’ your gutta-ass shit right chea!! Let’s see what tha 2nd verse has ta offer… Ooh, it’s Serv-On and he’s doin’ his thang fa tha “streetz” right chea as they “watchin’!” He even “servin’ pillz” and shit like dat! When he said, “handle bars,” I thought he said, “Hannibal,” for a second, lol. Nice job wit this collaboration once again! You’re on tha 3rd verse and you feelin’ good wit tha shit you rappin’ ‘bout right chea! Thumbs up ta your attitude to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.5


10. “Work It” Feat. Young Loc
I wonder who dis Loc dude iz… DEFINITELY look forward ta hearin’ a newbie! >>> Cool beat intro right chea and I hear someone different on tha beat tag right chea! Definitely good shit right chea and I like tha “get tha cash” shit on tha 2nd ½ of tha hook! You’re on tha 1st verse here and you really in tha mood and mode right chea fa anything!! We got tha 2nd verse right chea from Young Loc and he’s in tha mood also on this beat! Nice contribution from him, ya dig! Keep up tha gr8 work on all these producers and collaborations, Trakk Boii!! Speakin’ of you, you’re on tha 3rd verse here, doin’ ya thang! My Rating: 4.7


11. “Sex Toy” Feat. Berry
LOL @ this title! I feel like dis shit gon be pretty extreme! >>> You’re on tha beat right chea and it sounds like it’s on tha sex tip! Tha 1st verse didn’t sound like a verse at first; I thought it was tha hook but it was a pretty consistent 1st verse; it fit good fa this shit. Tha hook sounds good wit tha singin’ in it; definitely fittin’ into tha topic and err-thang! You’re on tha 2nd verse right chea also and you expectin’ sum “100”-type shit when it comes ta how you want it. LOL, you really on point right chea, “ya heard me” (as you just said at tha end of tha 2nd verse), lol! You have tha 3rd verse on lock too right chea wit this song… Glad you really focused on this shit right chea, lol! No wonder why you have tha length at nearly five minutes long, lol. My Rating: 4.0


½time: Sounds pretty good so far; you DEFINITELY have consistency on lock to tha fullest!! DEFINITELY feelin’ all your production right chea and your collaborators are on point too!! Glad you fuck wit tha best people to tha fullest, ya dig!! Tha average CD rating right now iz at a NICE 4.4; keep up tha GR8 work, my dawg!


12. “Being With U (Edit Version)” Feat. Jessica & Weed Dogg
What’s this edited version? Let’s see what’s up wit this; shout out to tha Weed Dogg, lol! >>> Nothin’ really special about this Mod beat… Sounds too Popish/R&Bish… Tha hook I don’t really have ta say anything about… You’re on tha 1st verse and it sounds like a typical mainstream song about luv…; no feedback. Same thing wit you on tha 2nd verse: I don’t really have anything ta say about it… Tha Weed Dogg iz on tha 3rd verse here and he sounds good althought this izn’t tha kinda song I would pay attention ta him on, especially tha 1st time hearin’ him. My Rating: 2.7


13. “Thuggin’” Feat. Tusky
LOL, iz this Tusky dude “husky,” lol? They just rhymed and dat was tha 1st word I thought of when I saw tha name Tusky, lol. Let’s see what y’all got here! >>> So, his name iz pronounced like “toosky,” huh? What’s wit all tha “They Hate My” shit in tha beginning? Anyway, tha production sounds hot here and you have tha street shit on lock once again! Ooh, tha 2nd part iz Tusky and he sounds good fa hearin’ him fa tha 1st time! Glad you fuck wit some pitbulls when it comes ta dis shit; they DEFINITELY raw on tha mic! You really comin’ through “dumb, dumb, duffy” on tha 3rd verse right chea! Glad you “keep bringin’ heat,” ya dig! My Rating: 4.4


14. “Pimp’n In Da Flesh”
What’ll this sound like? >>> Tha beat sounds like a familiar mainstream song but it’s a Vybe beat… Pretty good hook too as you got this “pimp’n” shit on lock here… You doin’ a nice job deliverin’ tha lyrics here on tha 1st verse! LOL, there was only one verse? Pretty short but it’s aight… My Rating: 3.9


15. “We Here”
Well, on this song, it’s just yourself. But statistically, you, all your features and myself are ALL “here” together, ya feel me!! >>> *Looks at tha length real quick* LOL, only 1:03 on tha length? Anotha short one, lol… But, it sounds gr8 wit tha production and tha hook sounds good; street shit to tha fullest! You got some hot shit goin’ on here in tha 1st verse; definitely nice wit tha rappin’ right chea! My Rating: 4.3


16. “What U Hatin’ 4”
LOL, this one’s a real short one too wit only 1:07 on tha length, lol! I know you gon DEFINITELY hol’ it down!! >>> Shit, yea, no intro needed! You “on yo shit” right chea on this HOT-ASS upbeat beat!! Nice job wit this hook right chea; gotta feel tha title! Sounds like it’s a gr8 song for tha ride; you got this shit on lock once again!! My Rating: 4.4


17. “Looking 4 Me”
This looks like an interestin’ title! Let’s see what you gon do wit it! >>> Sounds like a beat tag at first but it’s tha hook, which sounds good on this type of beat… Tha beat sounds like tha Mystikal joint, “Here I Go”. You “thuggin’” to tha fullest right chea on tha 1st verse; gotta feel tha gutta shit goin’ on here wit these rhymes!! Tha 2nd verse iz here and you shoutin’ out people like “Joka” and all dem; good shit! My Rating: 4.2


18. “’Bout What U Talking ‘Bout” Feat. Young Cuzz
Thanx fa introducin’ me ta Young Cuzz; he added me on Facebook too! As good as dat was, let’s see how good dis iz! >>> Good beat start; DEFINITELY dark and undaground right chea!! I hear a “die, nigga, die” voice in tha hook. I might’ve heard dat sayin’ before? Either way, this iz DEFINITELY gangsta shit to tha fullest!!! You’re on tha 1st verse and it’s grimy to tha bone!!! Let’s see dis 2nd verse right chea… Young Cuzz, doin’ tha damn thang right chea!! He “’bout ta get retarded” as he “holdin’ his nuts” and all dat shit! It can’t get anymore street than dis!! Gotta have street shit throughout tha WHOLE song, ya dig!! I’m likin’ tha extra hook at tha end too as well as dat creepy laughin’! My Rating: 4.8


19. “I’m On (Is You) (Remix)” Feat. DejaVu & Young Cuzz
Huh? This again? Iz dis a different version? >>> Oh, you said “dis be dat remix.” Shit yea, glad this iz back!! I think I heard DejaVu WAY back in tha early dayz of my Louisiana connection back wit DeTrane’s 1st two “Jigg City Radio” mixtapes! More feedback’s on tha original version of this song. For now, I just gon review tha added shit: DejaVu’s on tha 2nd verse here and she’s “off tha chain” wit contributin’ ta this shit right chea! I guess Lil’ Havic was right about this song bein’ like “four years old” ‘cause she just said, “’06 a good year but ’07, I’ma bubble!” Really, ’06 was good but ’07 was shitty ‘cause of tha shit I dealt wit at my 1st college! I’m REAL GLAD Louisiana took me away from dat bullshit!! Tha 3rd verse iz Young Cuzz and he crazy wit all tha shit he rappin’ ‘bout!! Glad we all cool wit him; he serious wit dis street/gutta shit! I like tha original version betta but this still what’s up! Glad two versions were made! My Rating: 4.6


20. “Break U Off” Feat. Young Mall & Joka Boi
I feel dat dis gon be sum good shit! DEFINITELY likin’ tha collaboration!! >>> Pretty cool beat here and tha hook iz DEFINITELY HOT!! Tha 1st verse iz here and SHIT, he talkin’ ‘bout “dem Gardere streetz,” huh? Shiiiiid, DEFINITELY watz good!! I gotta know Young Mall now ‘cause I know err-body in G-Lane, ya dig!! I like how he came through and contributed on this track fa you, ya dig!! Tha 2nd verse iz here and it’s Joka Boi, goin’ duffy right chea!! REAL GLAD this mixtape has 22 BANGAZ on it, ya dig!! Now, it’s tha 3rd verse here and you got shit goin’ on right chea! DEFINITELY inta dis street shit right chea! LOL @ tha “dressed up like a bum, dawg” part; dat sounded random, yet, you holdin’ down tha whole track right chea wit your boyz! My Rating: 4.5


21. “Screwedston”
Looks like it might be interestin’ fa only 53 seconds on tha length! >>> Tha beat sounds good here and you have a gr8 flow wit good, gutta BR lyrics right chea! I can’t think exactly what dis beat iz but I know it’s one of those beats from Houston… My Rating: 4.3


22. “Gin & Grey Goose”
Last one… Only 1:43 on tha length right chea so let’s see what’s good… >>> What’s up wit tha fade-in intro? Anyway, sounds like a club anthem right chea on tha hook; good shit. Tha 1st verse sounds cool wit you comin’ through wit a feel-good vibe! Oh yea, I didn’t even realize tha beat right chea was tha Allstar “Grey Goose” beat from a ½ decade ago. LOL, good shit right chea, regardless! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Well, Trakk Boii, you did tha damn thang right chea!! GR8 way ta end this day wit your CD!! Thumbs up ta all tha GR8 production and tha GR8 features too!! Keep doin’ tha damn thang and congrats on bein’ tha 1st music business person I eva interviewed!!
