Review #513: Daem "Buy Any Means (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 6.13.2010 (Review #513)




Continuin’ wit current reviewz, up next, from http://buymymusicnow.net too, iz Daem “Buy Any Means (The Mixtape)”. I wonder what it gon sound like… Also representin’ for 3rdLife Music (same as C-IV & Lil’ One). BTW, tha “Buy” iz really spelled “By”. Hopefully, wit this title, you’re spellin’ it in a creative way (as I’m thinkin’ there’s gonna be a lotta buy/sellin’) or else dat would be PRETTY EMBARASSIN’!!! Start Time: 6:50 PM | End Time: 7:43 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. “Learn Sumthin’ New”
Let’s see what you gon “teach” me. >>> Sounds like a bunch of shit goin’ on in tha beginning… Almost sounds like an Eminem sample? Sounds a lil’ like Lil’ One wit tha way you rap on tha 1st verse… I can say this iz pretty good; continue… Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good too… Almost sounded like Eminem in tha voice a lil’ in tha beginning of tha verse… My Rating: 3.8


02. “Goin’ Hard” Feat. Da Kid Trap
Looks like this’ll be pretty tight!! >>> I like tha beginning; sounds like it could be hot! Simple hook but it’s betta than average! Tha 1st verse sounds like you feelin’ good wit this Rap shit… Not much ta say about it but you have a good flow ta hold it down! Tha Trap dude’s on tha 2nd verse and he has a good flow too… Sounds like he lives tha same life as every rapper too? LOL… Sounds kinda long on tha ending here… My Rating: 4.2


03. “Got It Goin’ On”
Lemme know how. >>> Almost sounds like a sample in tha beat in tha beginning; can’t think of what. ROFL, it’s a Vybe beat, lol. Sounds like your heart’s beatin’ for it ‘cause you’re pretty energetic for tha hook here! Pretty interestin’, from your perspective, for tha 1st verse… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ really typical. Honestly, in order ta be a rapper, ya have ta “go to tha club?” I guess so… ROFL, 1:38 long of a beat outro? Why so long? LOL, did tha beat fart @ 4:34? My Rating: 3.7


04. “Money Skit”
LOL, a skit? >>> Sounds like tha radio… ROFL, where’d dat rappin’ come in wit quality @ :25? ROFL… I gotta rate a “skit,” lol? Good job wit tha rappin’. If tha next joint iz this, then I’ll just rate tha next joint then. My Rating: 4.2
EDIT: Tha next song was not this song so I’ll just rate this.


05. “In Luv Wit My Money”
And this iz anotha thing in order ta be a rapper; have “money” or be obsessed wit it. >>> LOL, where’d this DJ come from in tha beginning? LOL, anotha Vybe beat and it sounds like somethin’ Gucci or OJ would make… Kinda not crazy about this but it’s okay fa what it iz. Huh, why iz there a dildo in your mouth here wit tha vocals? No homo? That’ll be tha new thing I’ll say for people dat put A-Tune on their vocals!! That bein’ said, NO comment on tha 1st verse!! Same thing wit tha 2nd verse… My Rating: 1.7


06. “I Can’t Take It” Feat. Da Kid Trap
I don’t think I’ll look forward ta this… >>> A phone call? ROFL, anotha Vybe beat! Tha hook’s aight but it sounds like there was an added hook or somethin’ on it? Tha 1st verse’s not bad from you… Tha 2nd verse sounds like it goes a lil’ harder… What’s up wit tha singin’ randomly comin’ in it? Tha 3rd hook sounds like Trap… LOL, was it you? I’m confused? I guess you’re on tha 3rd verse here… Good job wit you contributin’… So, Trap was singin’ tha whole time on this? I dunno if I can feel it that much; not close ta tha last song he was on. ROFL, what’s up wit tha silence at tha end? My Rating: 3.6


½time: Dat #5 song fucked thangz up ‘cause it’s only a 3.5 average CD rating right now… You’re just an okay rapper so far… At least you’re a BR representa.


07. “Swag Out Loud” Feat. Da Kid Trap
I dunno if I’ll like this. >>> Weird start fa me; very typical wit tha soundin’ and err-thang… Sounds like “Marco Polo” or somethin’ Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em would produce in tha beat… Not too crazy about this; remove tha typical content! Tha hook’s so 10-15 year-oldish wit tha “laugh out loud” shit, smh… Fa’get tha rest of this; I don’t need ta say more… WTH @ tha ending vocals? My Rating: 1.8


08. “U Got Me” Feat. C-Loc & Da Kid Trap
Anotha C-Loc collaboration CD, lol? I guess he’s cool wit 3rdLife Music… >>> This beat’s not bad but tha last CD I reviewed from Lil’ One had a betta beat (Savage). Not bad for tha song so far wit Loc on tha 1st verse; let’s see what else comes outta this… Tha hook’s good; interestin’ shit from Loc. You’re on tha 2nd verse and it’s not bad but I’m REALLY hatin’ tha weird-ass background vocals; DEFINITELY not called for or called for ANY attention!! This must be a 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse I’m hearin’ from Da Kid Trap? Your voices are nearly tha same… WTF? There’s like 1:50+ left in tha beat; why iz there no more verses? DEFINITELY unprofessional! If I was ta air this on my radio show, you KNOW I would shorten it; should’ve stopped @ 3:02!! I take off for there bein’ a long-ass beat outro. Too much silence at tha end too… My Rating: 4.0


09. “Freestyle Session”
I could just imagine what dis gon sound like… >>> A Jadakiss start wit tha “crack” or whateva dat was? I don’t know what dis beat iz but you have tha dildo in your mouth again!! Not that bad on tha content but it’s not at average. SMH @ 11 seconds of silence… My Rating: 2.6


10. “U Kno U Rite” Feat. Da Kid Trap & K.G.
What’ll this be? >>> Oh no, 3rd time I heard this beat, no less… “Vybe…Vybe,” lol! Tha Madonna “This Used To Be My Playground” sample beat… Hopefully, I don’t hear it anymore afta dis; it’s okay so far. LOL, tha 1st verse from you sounds like some money-related shit, lol? Pretty good verse overall though; you did ya thang. Tha 2nd verse’s good too fa this… I thought there would be a 3rd verse but I guess not… Just anotha long-ass beat outro; it’s called… fading out, lol… My Rating: 3.9


11. “Addiction (Remix)”
Let’s see this. >>> Ehh, a lil’ old; tha 1st jacked beat I actually caught on here. I know tha Soulja Boy Tell ‘Emish beat was one but this definitely iz one. I dunno if I needed ta hear an updated version of this song though… Even tha original vocals? Shit, I gotta hear tha WHOLE song too? Why? LOL, you cut Fabolous’s part off, lol? Big deduction due ta all this impatientness! My Rating: 1.4


12. “Act A Ass” Feat. Young Ready
Huh? From dat last song fulla tha original vocals ta now this? LOL @ tha transition!! You’re funny… >>> Sounds MUCH betta for a start, lol!! All of a sudden, you got REAL tough here, lol! Tha hook’s what it iz and it sounds like you really wanna be tough fa tha 1st verse, lol? I can tell you paid for this collab (as well as tha Loc one). LOL, talk about how raw Ready’s comin’ through on tha 2nd verse; VERY random fa your CD!! My Rating: 4.5


13. “Let Me Catch The Beat”
Time ta end this… >>> HOW PATHETIC as we go from a Young Ready feature to a “Go! Go! Go!” 50 Cent “In Da Club” sample, smh? Tha hook sounds non-original and it’s nothin’ for me at all… Nothin’ special AT ALL on tha verses here so no feedback from me! My Rating: 2.0


Overall: I thought this was gonna be aight but it fell behind wit a few songs dat didn’t sound good… Keep tryin’ but good looks on some of tha collabs!
