Review #660: L.A. Tre "Summer Storm (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 9.12.2010 (Review #660)


Fa my boy L.A. Tre, here goes my review for his Summer Storm (The Mixtape)! LOL, as much as I’m behind, luckily, it’s still tha “Summer” when I’m gettin’ ta review this, lol! Do ya thang, Tre!! Start Time: 11:49 AM | End Time: 12:31 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. “Who Want It”
REALLY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ what you got although most tracks are under three minutes! >>> Sounds like a strong beat, lol!! You doin’ a NICE job on this beat; I believe it’s a jacked beat too. It’s all about tha KICK-ASSNESS from L.A. Tre!! I like tha “ain’t nobody fuckin’ wit cha boy, not currently” part; VERY TIGHT wit how it was said!! My Rating: 4.2


02. “Take The Throne”
I think you gon “take” it! >>> Sounds like tha same-made producer from tha last song; soundin’ good and consistent too (like a mixtape)! Very good rhymes here! I’m REALLY feelin’ tha “lotto” part “wit a dolla;” dumb shit!! Tha “Christmas tree” part’s nice; VERY GOOD here!! My Rating: 4.3


03. “O Let Do It (Flow)”
LOL! >>> It’s good fa what it iz… I like how you always mention “Hannibal” (you mentioned it in tha last song); it’s all about tha tight shit! My Rating: 3.8


04. “Bed Rock”
Oh no, not dis beat… >>> You’re stayin’ on topic here, so that’s good. It’s not tha most exciting thing I’ve heard but it’s acceptable. Slowly lost interest towards tha near-end… My Rating: 3.0


05. “Sponsor” Feat. Teairra Marie
Not gonna be anticipated fa this… >>> Sounds like Lloyd Banks in tha beginning? :confused I hate when there’s fake features listed… I don’t really have any interest in this; why did this one had ta be tha longest one on here (at ova four minutes)? It’s like, am I listenin’ ta you or her? :confused Not only do I not even go for this, wheneva tha original hook’s in this, I take off points. Even worse: I don’t like hearin’ verses and extra parts too! My Rating: 1.0


06. “Stick To The Script”
I guess you’re betta at makin’ those CDs in tha past than these mixtapes… >>> At least this iz listenable; rather hear you on tha mic and on a betta beat! Good rappin’; nice and consistent on tha rhymes! My Rating: 3.9


07. “I Don’t Make Stacks” Feat. N Vincable
What’s this? >>> Low interest fa this; “don’t make stacks” but an obsession of “money,” lol? I’m not likin’ tha singer and this just izn’t my style… My Rating: 2.3


08. “It Was A One Night Thing”
>>> You like these “Armz” beats, lol… Tha beat’s pretty stale for me. Tha rappin’s consistent but nothin’ I would jump about. Oh no, not tha weird-singin’ hook again! Kinda not interested in hearin’ tha rest… My Rating: 2.5


½time: I dunno… I have a loss of interest compared to previous shit I’ve heard from you. I think you need ta rehear for tha beats! So far, only a 3.1 average CD rating. :(


09. “A Talk With The Devil”
>>> Same producers… This sounds a lil’ betta… I don’t like tha Wayne/Drake-type flow at times but it’s somewhat acceptable. My Rating: 3.4


10. “Lookin’ To The Sky”
>>> LOL, “Not Afraid” beat, ROFL? Brings a lil’ bit of a smile to my face but I expect much betta for a beat! Too bad this iz like one of tha shortest ones on here… Nice and consistent wit tha rappin’, doin’ ya thang!! My Rating: 4.3


11. “Pick The World Up (Flow)”
Oh no… >>> Sounds like rappin’ you like and process… Good job rappin’; I’ll leave it at just dat! My Rating: 3.8


12. “I Get This Money”
Somethin’ like “this” makes me yawn… >>> Back to tha same producers that you keep usin’ for beats… I dunno ‘bout dis; I do like tha “purple” shit. My Rating: 3.3


13. “Money Over Love”
More of this kinda shit? >>> Sounds like my boy IL Duce on these same beats you be usin’… Cool rappin’ but it doesn’t exactly sound like you fa some reason… My Rating: 3.6


14. “He Ain’t Fuckin’ Wit Me”
>>> Oh no, not dis beat, lol… Lots of rappin’, so dat’s good… My Rating: 3.5


15. “I Don’t Like The Look Of It”
LOL, afta all these 2010 beats, we’re goin’ to ’06 now, lol? >>> Maybe it’s not tha exact ’06 beat; just a ’10 update dat I heard once before on someone else’s tape. ROFL, “xan bars/X-pillz” shit goin’ on here outta nowhere!! Okay, tha rhymes are real good here wit tha beat too! My Rating: 4.0


16. “Thinkin’ ‘Bout Me (Flow)”
>>> Sounds like tha hottest “Armz” beat you rappin’ on wit this mixtape! Nice job here; I’ll put it as my #1 on here! My Rating: 4.4


17. “Pass The Dutch”
Time ta end dis… >>> Tha beat’s kinda cool here. Ooh, startin’ it off wit “I got tha blunt rolled up;” tight shit! LOL, even a “xan bar!” This iz tha kinda topic I’m luvin’, lol!! Consistent although it’s fallin’ off a lil’ bit for me towards tha last 40 seconds. My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Not exactly what I expected… Some were good, a bunch were either decent or not that gr8 and some I just didn’t like whatsoever.
