Review #580: Monsta Militia "First Quarter (Hosted by DJ Breez)"

Reviewed on 7.23.2010 (Review #580)


My 3rd review for today iz… Monsta Militia again, lol! This time, it’s tha “First Quarter (Hosted by DJ Breez)” mixtape. However, I don’t like dat tha length iz a “cheating length” of 1:37:58, almost 18 minutes longer than a maximum length. Oh well, betta be REAL GOOD if I gon deal wit it although I saw some of tha titles and they’re jacked beats? Start Time: 12:26 PM | End Time: 2:04 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. “Swag Surfin’”
I don’t have any words for tha starting song, sadly… >>> Kids? “Hard like a Social Studies test,” lol? I don’t even wanna think of school/college work… Okay, here you are @ :42… Ooh, tha beat got screwed @ 1:20, lol. Iz tha Militia a clique? Must be ‘cause there’s a bunch of y’all here. GR8 rappin’ from all y’all although I’m tired of these beats… My Rating: 3.8


02. “Lemonade”
No “i” again! >>> Y’all had ta remake tha hook, lol? Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty gutta here! I really like this beat at times so y’all did a nice job together on it! My Rating: 4.1


03. “Medicine Man”
What’s this one? >>> I don’t think I know this one ‘cause I fell off tha mainstream shit last year; neva recognized a title like dat? Good intro and tha 1st verse sounds interestin’ here… I like tha hook and tha shit before it; VERY GOOD here!!! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ more! Tha chick on tha 2nd verse did her thang; good attitude here! LUV dat “need a coupla gramz! Loratabs and a couple o’ xanz!” Gutta-ass 3rd verse too!! My Rating: 4.6


04. “Gucci Louii”
Didn’t I hear this before? >>> Yea, I did; maybe someone else used this beat? A gurl “suckin’ titties” on tha 1st verse? What iz this? All this sounds good though, includin’ tha hook… Oh, now I know what this beat iz, lol. “B, B Or B,” lol… GR8 shit all tha way ‘roun’! My Rating: 3.9


05. “Use My Iron”
Looks gutta/gangsta! >>> Tha beat start always reminds me of Young Jeezy, which decreases my anticipation at times… Anyway, good gutta shit here for tha hook. Tha 3rd dude on this joint sounds a lil’ like Bone Crusher and sounds pretty tight wit tha rappin’/flow!! “BP spill?” This must be REAL recent, lol! I guess ‘cause all these jointz are jacked beats? Feelin’ all tha verses, especially tha 3rd part and tha gutta dude at tha end! My Rating: 4.3


06. “Fuk Around”
What could this be? >>> Cool beat; don’t know what it iz. This iz a cool song fa what it iz; nothin’ ta be “fuk”ed wit! All y’all just doin’ tha damn thang here wit tha gutta-ass verses and tha catchy hook! My Rating: 4.4


07. “Bang’n”
>>> This beat sounds good for a start… This shit sounds pretty good; catchy rhymes wit a catchy flow. Tha hook sounds good; nothin’ but catchiness from tha whole Militia fam! Good thing to also hear Grits Gutta on this shit too; catchy start from him wit tha spellin’! My Rating: 4.2


08. “Women Lie”
>>> This song always makes me ROFL! Y’all did a pretty good job on this beat as y’all just keepin’ it street! My Rating: 4.0


09. “O’s”
>>> When I see titles like dis and I don’t know tha songs, I think of them as Gucci Mane songs. Interestin’ “climbin’ Donkey Kong’s ladder” shit; interestin’… Tha rhymes are catchy at all times here ova these beats! What’s up wit tha verse towards a lil’ past tha 3:00 mark from tha “Pokémon, Pikachu” and then, to tha “pillz/loratabs?” LMAO @ that mix!! My Rating: 4.1


10. “Inkredible”
>>> Good shit from y’all once again! My bad dat my feedback’s kinda short… I don’t know what ta say sometimes on jacked beats… At least y’all doin’ a GR8 job, consistently! My Rating: 3.9


11. “Turn Up –N-”
LOL… >>> Pretty consistent once again. Tha good thing wit y’all iz dat y’all a group so y’all don’t need to change up to a hook at times… My Rating: 3.8


12. “Getcha Rite”
I could’ve sworn I heard this too? >>> That length of 6:50 and this sound… Someone else must’ve been rappin’ on tha same shit y’all been rappin’ on… Pretty smooth here… I’m really likin’ how tha gurl’s spittin’ some explicit shit here! Tha verse afta tha gurl’s sounds pretty laidback; it’s like tha male version of her verse, lol! Tha last verse’s strong too wit dis shit; definite plus! My Rating: 4.0


½time: This iz pretty good for a jacked beat CD! Y’all REALLY holdin’ it down fa a group!! A nice 4.1 average CD rating so far…


13. “Pimp’n”
>>> This sounds more like tha R&B CD I reviewed earlier… An okay song ta keep “pimp’n” alive… My Rating: 3.2


14. “I’m Gone”
>>> Oh no, “Drop The World” beat… Pretty good on this beat wit tha interestin’ group called Monsta Militia, lol! My Rating: 3.9


15. “Spotlight”
>>> Beat’s kinda soft and okay so far… Stayin’ motivated as best you can here… “Show my ass like a fat plumber;” lol @ dat line! My Rating: 3.6


16. “BottomLine”
>>> Sounds like a Lil’ Wayne or Birdman track; I think I know this beat… Y’all named tha song afta Kevin Gates’s label, lol? LOL… LOL… It sounds like a Lil’ Wayne flow on tha hook, lol? Catchy shit here wit tha rhymes! “I’m an animal like Hannibal;” shit, yea! Shout out ta my boy “Hannibal!” Lots of verses fit on this long, 5:23-length song! ROFL @ tha “like Ready…been duffy” line! My Rating: 4.2


17. “Dear Summer”
Yuck for me… >>> I thought most of tha beats were recent? Good lyrical shit but not for me at all… My Rating: 2.4


18. “Swang Thru”
Speakin’ of older beats, here’s one a year later… >>> Don’t mind hearin’ this again. Tha 1st verse sounds like it came through pretty focused; good shit. Tha 2nd verse sounds good too… Tha 3rd verse had two parts and tha 2nd ½ sounded pretty tight… My Rating: 4.1


19. “Nite –N- Day”
LOL… >>> Good rappin’ once again. I’m really feelin’ tha 2nd verse here; gangsta shit plus tha “kush” equals dumb shit!! Tha last verse’s good too… My Rating: 4.2


20. “Showcase”
>>> Here’s anotha Southern jacked beat and it sounds pretty good for tha start. “Mortal Kombat” style here! I like how tha 2nd dude left it wit “I got…; what chu want, man?” and then, tha 3rd dude’s supplyin’ tha hood wit err-thang! Nice alternatin’ here to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3


21. “We Got It”
>>> LOL, really old wit tha beats here as it’s “Dead Wrong”, 90’s style. Sounds pretty gutta here on tha 1st verse! Gangsta shit wit your “glock” to tha fullest! This has some good alternatin’ too. Not as quickly alternated as tha last joint but good enough ta supply tha tightness in tha rhymes! A “Jack Da Rippa” outta nowhere ‘round tha 2:35 mark, lol! Good-ass shit! My Rating: 4.2


22. “Ride Or Die”
>>> For a 5:05 length, I wasn’t sure if I wanted ta hear a slower beat… It’s kinda straight for me but wit tha gurl on tha hook, it sounds pretty catchy wit havin’ “tha whole house.” I like tha start to tha 3rd verse wit tha area codes! Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be at first… My Rating: 3.5


23. “Blak Bandanna”
I know… We all forget tha extra “n” in tha title… >>> I thought this was gonna be tha “Red Bandanna” song, lol. Dark beat here fa y’all and y’all deliverin’ some scary shit when it comes ta tha content, lol! LOL @ tha “brrrr, brrrr!” shit, lol! Tha person spittin’ at tha end of tha 2nd verse ain’t a gurl? I thought it was for a second ‘til they said, “Suck my dick?” GR8 “like you’re on Fear Factor” part in tha 3rd verse wit dat GUTTA voice! “Alls you see’s tha middle finga in my ‘blak bandanna’;” whoa!! My Rating: 4.5


24. “Goose”
LOL! >>> “Loose As A Goose” here and tha gurl sounds good in tha beginning. A diss to “Moby” on tha 2nd verse? LOL… Sounded kinda random; I wonder how dat name came about? Anyway, all y’all did tha damn thang here, consistently! My Rating: 4.0


25. “Blak Print 3D”
What could this last joint be? >>> Sounds good on tha beat… Huh? Tha beat went away? A “rollin’” intermission outta nowhere, lol. Tha 1st verse sounds good wit how thangz are bein’ delivered here. Tha 2nd verse’s comin’ outta nowhere and it’s soundin’ good; consistent flow! I like when tha beat just gets screwed outta nowhere. LOL @ a “Waka Flocka” quote and then, it switched to “Super Mario;” wak-a-mix, lol!! Very good endin’ verse on this; gutta shit! My Rating: 4.1


Overall: Damn, dat felt like a long time ta review dat… But, it turned out ta be pretty good, luckily! GR8 job bein’ a group; y’all DEFINITELY do a GR8 job together!! Keep up tha GR8 work…; ALL OF Y’ALL!!!
