Review #654: A.u. "Braggin' Rights"

Reviewed on 9.11.2010 (Review #654)




On a non-stop grind here, ya heard me? Got this anticipatin’ review comin’ up from my boy A.u.! He doin’ his thang and stayin’ on tha grind (like always)! This iz my review for his Braggin’ Rights mixtape! Start Time: 9:31 AM | End Time: 10:37 AM



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. “Braggin’ Rights”
Beginning wit tha title track; bring it on, lol! >>> Sounds like good rappin’ on this beat; you, Gutta Gucci, iKane & Tezzy Maine are all family! Glad y’all fuck wit each otha ‘cause it’s like a family in one when it comes ta gettin’ exposure! I’m not sure how much I can say about this; it’s just good rappin’. I like tha “smoke a lotta weed” shit @ 2:44; catchin’ onto what you’re rappin’ about! My Rating: 3.9


02. “Check Me Out”
>>> ROFL, “Walk Wit A Dip” beat. Feelin’ tha rappin’ here; nice job! My Rating: 3.8


03. “Talk Of Tha Town”
Looks like a good title. >>> Not bad of a beat; tha rappin’ iz good once again. Tha rhymes are consistent here… My Rating: 4.0


04. “Beat It Like Uh Jerk” Feat. Gutta Gucci
I dunno if this’ll be somethin’ I like; tha “uh jerk” scares me… >>> I guess I can accept this; sounds like a lotta BPMs too. Not too gay for a hook; it’s catchy for me. Now, it’s soundin’ even catchier wit Gutta on tha 1st verse! Good job wit holdin’ it down fa A.u.! Speakin’ of you—A.u.—you’re on tha 2nd verse. Nice job; sounds good wit tha rappin’ ova a fast beat like dis! My Rating: 4.2


05. “Eyes Low”
Tight title here! >>> Oh, this iz DEFINITELY on and poppin’!! Tha beat and flow on tha hook’s DEFINITELY tight!! Wow, you comin’ through NICE wit tha “smoke weed” shit in tha hook!! VERY, VERY catchy here!!! Even comin’ through on tha 1st verse; HOT SHIT!!! Tha 2nd verse iz DEFINITELY keepin’ it goin’ here!! REAL nice job, lol!! LOL @ endin’ it wit “ta weed smells.” My Rating: 4.6


06. “Sex You”
>>> Tha beginning second sounded like tha tag on Beezy Boy’s “Slow Motion”; same producer? I thought they had an original production at first wit bein’ wit Tru Blu Records. Just sounds like a made-hook here; not too bad. Nice and dirty wit tha content here on tha 1st verse; that’s a plus here. Tha 2nd verse sounded less dirty; not bad… My Rating: 3.8


07. “Party People”
>>> Anotha fast-soundin’ beat here; how much will I like this? LOL, sounds crazy on tha hook, lol!! Good job wit deliverin’ shit in tha 1st verse; nice lil’ anthem here! LOL, how good will this sound on my radio show? You know I like playin’ different songs here and there! I think this could’ve been a lil’ shorter; most fast songs like dis are not ova four minutes… Tha rest iz good but kinda long… My Rating: 4.3


08. “I Want It All” Feat. Gutta Gucci
Oh no… Think I heard a title like this once before on someone else’s mixtape… >>> Can I write “ThroBack” in jail? Hit me wit tha address when you can… As far as this, this iz betta than tha “iWant It All” I heard although that one had a catchy female on tha hook. This shit sounds pretty good on tha hook and tha beat! LOL, no sourced Gucci on tha 1st verse? Why? Pretty good 1st verse; anotha nice collab here! LOL @ you on tha 2nd verse wit tha “NYC on some real bidness shit;” to some, it makes them self-absorbed and anti-social! Two times, when people went to NYC, they didn’t come to visit me, which was bullshit. Not much’ll happen; it’s all about me!! I’m tha REAL SPECIAL one ta see ‘cause I make a LOTTA shit happen!! My Rating: 4.1


09. “Losin’ It”
You mean “losin’” instead of “loosin’”? What are you “loosin’,” lol? >>> Okay for what it iz. Yea, it’s “losin’” here on tha hook, lol. My Rating: 3.5


10. “Mine Usage”
What does this title mean? You mean “mind” this time? >>> Kinda “braggin’” in tha beginning here, lol. Tha beat’s cool… I’m likin’ dis right here! I guess if you’re talkin’ ‘bout “mine”s, then that’s a plus for tha title here! Catchin’ onto me betta @ 2:49 wit tha “smokin’” shit goin’ on consistently! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Doin’ ya thang here; sounds pretty consistent! So far, you stand at 4.1 for tha CD rating!


11. “Famous”
What can I expect from dis? >>> Sounds like positive Rap music or somethin’ in tha beginning but wit a Southern vibe. Well, more on tha Pop/Rap side wit how tha beat sounds like a T.I. or Young Jeezy. Aight, I’ll stop “braggin’” about tha beat, lol; tha hook’s not bad… Tha 1st verse’s not bad; good ta hear from you though. Tha 2nd verse iz not dat bad too… My Rating: 3.7


12. “Flo Type (Freestyle)”
What could this be like? >>> Oh no, not this beat (whateva it iz) again… What’s wit tha 3:34 length? I kinda am gettin’ sick of tha Wayne/Drake flow on everyone’s songs… This iz consistent wit tha rappin’ but I dunno how much interest I would have outside of this review. ROFL @ tha “take a piss up in yo ‘gar!” My Rating: 3.6


13. “Da Champ”
>>> Pretty good fa what it iz; kinda plain fa excitement though. Tha rappin’s pretty good though throughout tha whole thang here! My Rating: 3.7


14. “Who Got It” Feat. Gutta Gucci
>>> Damn, I’m sure I heard this beat too (and hook). It sounds like it can be cool so maybe, you can make it betta wit your weed rappin’! It sounds like you can on tha 1st verse; good shit! LOL, “dro-smell” err-where!! LOL, Gutta Gucci again randomly appearin’? I dunno why tha no source on him? Pretty good on tha random appearance! My Rating: 4.3


15. “Drippin’ Wet”
>>> Oh no, a familiar set of lyrics here… I could’ve sworn I heard dis too. It’s all these Vybe beats, lol! Just decent for me; at least it’s good on tha subject. My Rating: 3.4


16. “What I Be On” Feat. Gutta Gucci & Hollywood
Hope it’s anotha one of those smokin’ anthems! >>> “Gutta Gucci” you said in tha beginning? He gon sneak onta dis track? Well, we’ll see! For now, I’m DEFINITELY right about tha “smokin’ anthem;” soundin’ NICE here on tha 1st verse!! Yea, what’s up wit tha missin’-Gucci on tha 2nd verse? LOL, he real funny wit tha shit he spittin’! Iz dat someone else on tha 3rd verse? I’m not sure if it’s Tezzy or Kane… Oh, I just rewound it and found out it was Hollywood; tight-ass shit from him this time!! My Rating: 4.5


17. “Hood I’mma Stay” Feat. Hollywood
LOL @ this title. >>> And, lol @ how this beat sounds for tha start! Tha 1st verse iz pretty nice here; keepin’ it “hood” to tha fullest! LOL, again, Hollywood’s unsourced on tha 2nd verse? He’s tight; shouldn’t be unsourced!! I believe you’re back on tha 3rd verse here, doin’ tha damn thang!! Shit, yea! Hollywood hopped onto tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, keepin’ it G to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.4


18. “Getcha Mind Right”
Okay, now, it’s a “mind” song, lol. >>> Sounds anticipatin’ wit lightin’ up in tha beginning! Tha intro was anticipatin’ and tha hook’s DEFINITELY “NICE” wit tha “my weed tastin’ nice;” gotta luv your anthems!! Startin’ off NICE on tha 1st verse too!! Tha beat’s soundin’ pretty anticipatin’ too! I’m DEFINITELY likin’ this all tha way!! Tha 2nd verse iz good too… My Rating: 4.5


19. “Swag: You Can’t Buy It”
I dunno what dis gon sound like fa you… >>> Betta than I expected; tight beat here! Tha hook’s pretty catchy too! Tha whole thang sounds pretty nice here! My Rating: 4.3


20. “10-4 (Freestyle)”
How will we end it? >>> What? Think I heard this on Da U’s CD? LOL @ tha “U”’s! I think that’s what it iz but I know I heard this shit before. Anyway, aight; not likin’ tha flow though. Good rhymes though; I just am gettin’ sick of some of these flows. My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Nice job wit dis mixtape! Keep grindin’ and keep tha hot shit up! Free ThroBack!!
