Review #529: M.C. Spade "You Betta Reconize"

Reviewed on 6.16.2010 (Review #529)




Time ta get to my 3rd review for today; it’s M.C. Spade “You Betta Reconize”! Spade Entertainment in tha buildin’!! Start Time: 12:10 PM | End Time: 12:48 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.

Title track so let’s see what’s up! >>> Pretty good beat for tha G-Funk times, ya dig! You soundin’ pretty good on tha 1st verse wit all your gangsta-ass rhymes! Tha hook’s cool too; you comin’ through fully focused!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; pretty gutta wit tha lyrics here!! Tha 3rd verse sounds like a different rapper? I dunno but it’s pretty good wit tha guttaness in tha voice and content! My Rating: 4.5

Tha 1st verse’s pretty strong wit tha content when it comes ta tha hood!! REALLY luvin’ dat it’s fast too!! I’m typin’ like 100 WPM right now ‘cause of how QUICK this iz goin’, lol!! STR8 hood shit to tha fullest!!! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty good also! I’m glad dis fast-ass rappin’s continuin’; too crazy!!! Tha 3rd verse knows how ta keep it goin’; y’all FOOLS together!!!!! LOL, did it change at 2:18, lol? Regardless, I’m still reviewin’ it as tha same song and it’s pretty tight here! I’m likin’ this although tha flow’s a lil’ slower… Still, tha gangsta-ass shit’s comin’ through here! Tha 2nd verse in tha new beat’s soundin’ good too… Tha flow got a lil’ faster and iz soundin’ good here!! Tha 3rd verse in tha 2nd ½ of tha song has interestin’ street shit; I’m feelin’ what y’all bringin’ to tha table! My Rating: 4.8

05. “Quarters, Oz, Keyz (Original)”
Dat’s a REAL raw title right there!!! >>> Tha beat’s pretty good for a start and it sounds like you a monsta on here wit tha vocals, lol!! DEFINITELY “pays tha cost ta be tha boss,” ya dig! I feel ya… Tha hook’s nothin’ really but it’s cool… Tha 2nd verse’s more on tha hustlin’ tip!! LOL @ “stayin’ up all night and cooked up a whole fuckin’ key,” lol! Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty gutta wit havin’ “a $100,000 bail!” Nice job wit deliverin’ tha verse! My Rating: 4.6


06. “Quarters, Oz, Keyz (Remix)” Feat. Tre-8

Tha 3rd verse’s still on tha “$100,000 bail.” I dunno where Tre-8 was, exactly, but it sounded good… My Rating: 4.7


07. “IZ IT D End”
I hope not… >>> I like tha female in tha hook; she gives this joint a good feel! Tha G-Funkish beat’s cool and you sound pretty good on tha 1st verse here… “Get reduced like a muthafuckin’ fraction;” lol, gr8 line!

BIG-ASS LINEUP wit 9:00 on tha length!!!!! >>> REAL GUTTA hook wit tha sample and tha G-Funk beat helps too!!! Tha 1st verse’s pretty good wit dis pretty fast rappin’! Very long verse here from Tim Smooth, lol! Tha sample sounds like Mystikal; REAL GR8 shit!!! Tha 2nd verse’s spittin’ some pretty tight “blood bath” rhymes! Tha 3rd verse must be Lil’ Ron ‘cause he spelled his name in tha beginning; gangsta-ass shit comin’ from dis verse!! Tha 4th verse’s ready ta explain all dis gangsta-ass shit goin’ on; good shit! T-Smooth LUVS ta rap on here, lol! Here’s tha Demon Devil on tha 5th verse, doin’ his thang! Nice job wit all tha consistency on this track!! Now, it’s tha 6th verse and it’s soundin’ REAL GR8 wit tha “sellin’ weed” shit; keepin’ it street to tha FULLEST!!! Tha 7th verse sounds pretty gutta here too; VERY good joint to tha fullest!!! Time fa tha final verse!! It’s tha 8th verse and it’s tha FASTEST verse, lol!! DEFINITELY good right chea!! Tha rhymes are TOOOOOO GOOD too!!! My Rating: 4.9


09. “Shotz”
What could these “shotz” be? >>> Oh, “shout outs,” lol. Good job on this beat! Sounds like a gurl wit a deep voice in tha background. Ooh, tha last 13 seconds was a lil’ bit of rappin’; it goes! I’ll count it ‘cause it was DEFINITELY GR8 wit tha “blow shit up” shit! My Rating: 4.2
