Review #786: Curren$y "This Ain't No Mixtape"

Reviewed on 12.28.2010 (Review #786)


Here goes my 9th review of tha day: Curren$y “This Ain’t No Mixtape. I know this was from last year but I didn’t wanna forget to review Curren$y before tha year ended. Start Time: 8:36 PM | End Time: 9:12 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. 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. The Briefing
>>> For four minutes, this iz pretty interestin’ fa an intro. My Rating: N/A


02. “Get It Ya Self” Feat. Deelow
>>> Tha hook sounds good wit Deelow doin’ a nice job on it; likin’ tha title. I’m feelin’ your consistent rhymes once again! This iz even more consistent; you’re a beast, Curren$y! I like tha “while I smoke” part, too. My Rating: 4.3


03. “Blown Away” Feat. Deelow & Jean Lephare
>>> Sounds like a hot intro for tha beat. After 45 seconds of an intro, tha hook’s here from a singer and it sounds pretty good—as long as it’s just tha title. You’re soundin’ good on dis, Curren$y; good shit. This version doesn’t have Deelow? Did I not hear him? Or, iz he singin’? I’m confused… My Rating: 4.2


04. “Scared Of Monstas”
LOL @ this title. >>> Ooh, really feelin’ tha beat here!! Almost sounds like a scientist made it, lol! Okay, now, tha tracklisting’s goin’ in order. I think tha 1st three were bonus tracks. This almost sounds like tha old Neptunes shit I used ta grow up hearin’ on tha radio all tha time. This shit’s definitely nice; I like how you came through on it as well as makin’ it a “monsta” track, lol! My Rating: 4.4


05. “Elevator Musik”
>>> This sounds good fa a smooth beat; good shit here. I really like how you deliver tha hook; “all we do iz ride around and get high to it!” :tu My Rating: 4.0


06. “On My Plane” Feat. Deelow
>>> Sounds like a good jam wit tha positive-soundin’ beat, lol. Interestin’ about dis “high” shit, lol. Ooh, tha hook sounds good wit tha singin’, too; interestin’ song right here! My Rating: 4.1


07. “16 Switches Spitter”
Interestin’ title. >>> Sounds like a smooth song you can listen to and enjoy. Even though tha song kinda bored me at first, your interestin’ content and lyrics are keepin’ me awake and into tha songs, ya dig? My Rating: 3.9


08. “The Jets Son” Feat. Deelow & Jean LePhare
>>> Sounds good for a The Jetsons remake, lol. Even though a lil’ boring here and there for me, again, tha content’s keepin’ this shit a lil’ on an interestin’ level. My Rating: 3.7


09. “LOL” Feat. Trademark Da Skydiver, Deelow & Jean LePhare
“LOL”? >>> Likin’ what you got here wit tha consistent rappin’. I may not be too crazy about tha beat itself but you add some interest rappin’ on it. “LOL” @ tha hook; how random wit everything! Good job fa havin’ these featured artists on dis shit; thumbs up. My Rating: 3.8


½time: Sounds like a pretty-good CD; 4.1 for tha CD rating, right now!


10. “Sail On” Feat. Young Chris
Young Chris from Philly? >>> It iz this Young Chris; interestin’ collaboration, lol! Soundin’ pretty nice here on tha 1st verse; good job teamin’ up wit him, $y! You even have some good rhymes, too; good job… My Rating: 4.2


11. “Got It”
>>> Tha beginning sounds kinda quiet. Not bad wit this joint; your lyrics are catchy. My Rating: 3.8


12. “Power Button”
>>> Nice, long intro here… Tha beat’s pretty nice and you’re spittin’ good rhymes, too. I really like what you’re bringin’ to tha hook wit tha “smoke” shit once again! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Up Here” Feat. Young Roddy
>>> Sounds catchy wit tha beat once again. Tha hook’s pretty catchy, too; I like your “I-can’t-see” perspective. Tha Young Roddy dude on tha feature’s pretty good wit you, too. My Rating: 3.8


14. “Cook Up” Feat. Bun B & Deelow
Alternative title’s “Free Lunch”? >>> I guess so; pretty hot-soundin’ song! I really like how tha hook sounds; definite plus on this topic! I really like how you’re comin’ through on tha 1st verse, $y; good shit! Nice job wit recruitin’ Bun B on this, too; it’s all about that good, catchy-soundin’ music. My Rating: 4.3


15. “Food 4 Thought” Feat. Mickey Factz & Amanda Diva
LOL, Amanda Diva on tha feature; I just got tha chills!!! :) >>> This ain’t too bad of a song but sounds pretty good for one of those good, underrated mainstream songs. Let’s hear what Mickey has on tha 2nd verse… Pretty good; he sounds betta here wit his consistentness. It sounds a lil’ more catchy wit tha hook; I like how this hook sounds. Ooh, Amanda Diva on tha 3rd verse; glad ta hear her again! It almost sounds like a Jamaican flow, too! Very consistent wit tha rappin’; luv her pace!! :) I luv when I see her on VH1, appearin’ on various countdowns! My Rating: 4.3


16. “Galaxy” Feat. Deelow, Jean LePhare & Whodinsky
>>> This iz pretty smooth; good shit… “You hungry? I can check in tha fridge;” good line, lol. Tha hook’s a lil’ different but sounds decent wit tha singin’. I think tha content overshadows tha vocals. Tha rest ain’t too bad, either. My Rating: 3.7


17. “Look Up To The Jets”
I prolly already know some of these songs and have reviewed them in tha past. But, I’ll just re-review and make it whateva. >>> Sounds good; feelin’ what you got goin’ on throughout this beat as well as tha consistent rappin’! My Rating: 4.0


18. “Top Of The Money”
>>> Not bad wit how this sounds for a start; I think you got this shit on lock wit Monsta Beatz helpin’ you out on tha production! Good, consistent rhymes here; I’m feelin’ how you comin’ wit it, ya dig? Tha hook’s pretty catchy, too; good, mainstream music here. My Rating: 3.9


19. “Something Like” Feat. Street Wiz & Fiend
>>> Sounds like an interestin’ start. Sounds jammin’ once you start spittin’; feelin’ dis, too. How come at every :21, it sounds like tha beat was pasted wit a space? :confused Good rappin’, interestin’ concept here. Tha Street Wiz dude’s pretty consistent wit his rappin’, too. Tha rest iz pretty nice ta hear, too. My Rating: 4.1


Overall: You did ya thang here, Curren$y; nice lil’ jammin’ CD, ya dig?
