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.
“Flame Of Da City”
Tha
title track starts thangz off (wit a “da” for tha title this time, lol) so
let’s see what’s good wit dis!! >>> Must sound a lil’ on tha ’08 side
‘cause I hear tha “Kyd Wonder on tha track / Famous Stranger / Rest in peace to
tha Pimp C” in tha beginning… Tha production’s definitely on point here; good
shit as always! Tha hook’s hella catchy wit how you sound and tha 1st
verse’s good too. LOL @ tha “like a Mexican” part; Catchy Stranger right chea!
Tha 2nd verse sounds cool wit how you’re deliverin’ these
real-life/cool city-type rhymes! This iz DEFINITELY gutta when it comes to tha
beat once again!! My Rating: 4.5
02.
“Make My Money”
Looks
like a familiar title (I guess ‘cause tha “money”) so let’s see what’s up…
>>> Ooh, this iz new fa me and it’s HOT on tha beat start!! Gotta luv
your production to tha fullest!! Tha hook’s cool; gotta luv how you deliver
these rhymes and all dat good shit too! I like how your voice sounds wit tha
delivery here on tha 1st verse; it’s dat GR8 undaground Rap music to
tha fullest!! Cool-ass shit here for tha streetz! Tha 2nd verse’s
pretty cool too; continuous wit tha Stranger here! My Rating: 4.3
03.
“New Orleans”
Representin’
for your hometown; how will it sound? >>> Cool… I like how you sound
once again and tha beat’s pretty interestin’ here. Sounds like you havin’ fun
when you rappin’… “Even cops got fo’ golds in tha front;” lol @ dat line…
Pretty interestin’ in tha N.O.! Cool lil’ “New Orleans” anthem here wit tha way you
bring your character to tha track…; each track! Sounds like some street shit in
tha 2nd verse wit your gr8, mainstream twist! My Rating: 4.2
04.
“Illusion”
Tha
file wasn’t any file-type so I put “.mp3” in front of it and it only lets me
play it in Media Player… Let’s see… >>> Sounds like it was gonna be
Technoish in tha beginning but it’s just mid-speed wit tha track. This shit
sounds good wit tha production and tha song iz aight so far. Tha 1st
verse sounds like it’s real gr8 for tha ladies but iz just an okay verse for
me… I don’t really have anything special ta say about it. Same thing wit tha 2nd
verse… although, I feel it’s a lil’ more catchy this time. Dat beat ending’s
TOO COLD!!! My Rating: 3.7
05.
“VooDoo Lady”
This
one doesn’t have an extension and also only plays on Windows Media Player for
me… >>> Sounds like it gon be a Rock start this time? LOL @ my
incorrect guesses for tha beat styles. Anyway, cool joint right chea; tha beat
goes hard!! Tha hook’s cool; I feel like ALL of your music’s an addiction to
tha fullest!! Very interestin’ about this “VooDoo Lady”; thumbs up ta your
talent!! A BIG “strategic” mission for this “VooDoo Lady” on tha 2nd
verse here; good shit! Tha ending part sounds real hot too! My Rating: 4.3
06.
“We ‘Bout To Smoke”
Looks
like this’ll be REAL HOT! Anotha joint wit no file extension so it’s anotha Windows
Movie Maker joint fa me… >>> Sounds GOOD wit tha hook!! Tha beat’s
cool and you KNOW you got this “smoke” shit on lock!! “Coughin’ like a
funeral,” lol! You DEFINITELY doin’ ya thang here and once again, “Kyd Wonder
on tha track!” Gr8 job wit tha 1st verse wit all those “smoke”-type
lyrics!! Sounds like it’s takin’ a while fa tha 2nd verse? Finally,
it’s here and you’re “landin’ on tha Moon,” lol! I really like dat “10, 12
hits” shit but what’s up wit tha “court cases;” why would you put yourself in
dat position? You gotta be alert! My
Rating: 4.4
07.
“Paparazzi Frame”
Back
to tha regular mp3-workin’ files… Looks like Lady GaGa wit tha title here so
let’s see what you got for it…
>>> Long intro and lol @ tha hook here; I like how tha vocals are jokin’
around wit my ears as they’re in tha left and right speakers here and there! “Walkin’
through tha valley of tha media;” what a TOP NOTCH line right there!!! A+!!!
Tha 2nd verse though iz only decent for me… Other than dat HOT-ASS
line, this song has a lil’ bit of catchiness but dat’s about it… LOL @ a gurl
at tha end… I wonder who she iz? My
Rating: 3.5
½time: I think this CD’s just as
good as tha other one although I liked tha other one betta so far… You real
consistent wit dis N.O. Rap music so you KNOW you doin’ tha damn thang!! Tha
average CD rating here iz at 4.1; good shit!
08.
“Radiation”
Looks
like you gon bring some to tha table! Let’s see how you handle tha start of tha
2nd ½ right chea! >>> Almost reminded me of tha “I Wonder
If I Take You Home” beat wit tha way tha beat pattern sounded wit tha stoppin’
here and there, lol. As far as dis joint, tha beat’s cool and tha hook sounds
good wit how you deliver it. I dunno how much I’ll say about dis though… Tha 1st
verse iz soundin’ pretty good wit tha content bein’ spit; good shit. You know
I’m feelin’ “your radiation!” Your songs
do tha damn thang all day!! “Kyd Wonder on tha keyz;” good shit! Not bad wit
tha 2nd verse… No 3rd verse? Are you anti wit tha 3rd
verses, lol? My Rating: 3.9
09.
“Life Is A Party”
I
recognize this title from tha last CD. I did do a full review on this joint
since I was able ta sample it on your MySpace. Tha file iz an m4a here, lol… I
feel like tha production keeps gettin’ more creative! Now, this one’s more on a
betta side fa me! REAL HOT from :30 - :33 on tha beat!! I like tha “we gon
smoke good;” “good” shit, Stranger!! Even down ta “rollin’ good;” DEFINITELY a
plus!! “Money my friend and money my enemy,” lol. You don’t know which way ta
go, lol! Cool wit tha good content in tha 1st verse, ya dig. Tha 2nd
verse iz here and you feelin’ good on this verse also so you know you doin’ ya
thang!! I thought there would be a 3rd verse ‘cause of tha length
bein’ almost five minutes but it’s still cool! My Current Rating: 4.4
10.
“Smooth Stranger”
Anotha
m4a; lol @ these formats and shit… Maybe I should’ve originally made those otha
files m4as… Sounds pretty gr8 for a start wit tha production… Good hook; VERY
hot production once again!! You still have your creative flow so tha 1st
verse iz meant ta be good… Tha 2nd verse and 3rd verse
fit… Glad you included it on this CD too! My
Current Rating: 4.3
EDIT: Changin’ tha otha files
to m4a made ‘em OPEN finally!!
11.
“I’ll Drive”
Only
2:55 on tha length here? Let’s see what’s good wit dis one… >>> Odd
start wit tha beat for this one. I don’t really have anything ta say about
this… I dunno what ta say. On tha 2nd verse, I like tha “radius /
alias” part; dat was good ta hear! My
Rating: 3.3
12.
“Money Train”
Ooh,
thumbs up ta dis too! Feelin’ tha sound here once again; you even have nearly
tha same voice/flow. Sounds real cool wit tha undaground sound! Pretty
interestin’ rhymes too… I like how you quoted your “So Crazy” song on this wit
its original hook; good shit! Tha hook’s good; gotta LUV a “train”-type song!! Tha 2nd verse iz aight… I
mean, you’re consistent wit your rhymes and err-thang… Interestin’ endin’ too
wit whoeva’s speakin’ at tha end… My
Current Rating: 4.2
13.
“The World”
Have
I heard dis b4? >>> Sounds a lil’ more recent and on tha Popish side
for tha start here in tha beat; maybe it gon sound hot? I hear some hot sounds
in tha 2nd ½ of tha beginning… I dunno how much I feel how you sound
on dis so far… I still feel your creativeness though wit your character at all
times… Sounds like you’re regrettin’ thangz in this song, mainly tha 2nd
verse? I dunno what ta say about it… I, for some reason, feel dis neva ends or
somethin’… My Rating: 2.8
14.
“No Panties”
This
wasn’t in tha folder? What iz this then (reviewin’ a 30 second iTunes sample)?
>>> Tha beat sounds mainstreamish but a touch betta than dat… Okay
song but just decent for an ending song… My
Rating: 3.4
Overall: Hot shit once again,
Stranger. You doin’ ya thang consistently; keep it up!
