Review #813: Da No-Mindz "More Than A Mixtape Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 1.20.2011 (Review #813)


Comin’ up next iz Da No-Mindz, a group by Foxx that’s signed to his Milliyone Musik label. This iz More Than A Mixtape Vol. 1, my review! I’m not 100% sure if this mixtape was released in ’09 or ‘10 but I believe all tha songs are ’09 material. Start Time: 9:18 PM | End Time: 10:27 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. “Intro (No Mind)”
>>> Must be K.T. on tha beat since Foxx gave him a shout out in tha beginning. LOL @ tha “I ain’t got no mind” shit in tha hook; definitely sounds pretty nice wit tha quickness! Interestin’, anticipatin’ group here; glad ta have dat good, Southern shit for my ears and iPod! Feelin’ tha 4-bar verses; very consistent and catchy to tha fullest!! LOL, how many verses this iz? So many!! It’s crazy!! My Rating: 4.5


02. “Something Else”
Foxx and Hollywood doin’ tha damn thang here? Let’s hear it! >>> Sounds like tha typical, catchy Foxx shit here! I could imagine hearin’ this but there’s so much Foxx shit; who knows, lol! Gotta luv tha consistency of Foxx wit tha rhymes! Who’s this Hollywood dude on tha—oh, it’s you again, Foxx, lol. Consistent fa err-body!!! Now, who’s this Hollywood dude on tha 3rd verse? I know there’s a tight Hollywood wit BoRob Entertainment/Hit After Hit Entertainment, related to Gutta and A.u.; where’d dis Hollywood come from? I guess he’s wit Milliyone Musik; very consistent, too! Put tha Hollywoods together and magic could happen! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Check Me Out”
Ooh, Hollywood’s song featuring Foxx this time; vice versa, lol! >>> I’m definitely anticipatin’ this beat start; 225 to tha fullest!! Tha hook’s hella catchy and I’m definitely feelin’ Hollywood comin’ through on tha 1st verse!! Real, real, real catchy-ass 1st verse!!!!! So consistent—from tha swag to tha smokin’ to tha pillz; gotta luv it!!! Foxx comin’ through pretty nice, too; you know what it iz! Hollywood doin’ a nice job on tha 3rd verse, too; crazy shit to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.7


04. “Chicken Wang”
LOL @ this title! Foxx’s song featuring Hollywood & Big 2T fa this song; let’s hear it! >>> K.T. doin’ tha beat, here, and it’s soundin’ pretty nice fa an expected, Baton Rouge sound! Foxx’s 1st verse was aight; I was expectin’ ta hear tha hook first. Now, I’m hearin’ tha hook and what I expected—Foxx’s character—iz definitely on ‘n’ poppin’!! Hollywood always keepin’ thangz consistent!! Glad he on tha 2nd verse, doin’ tha damn thang to tha fullest!!! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ Hollywood throughout tha rest of dis mixtape!! Now, time ta hear Big 2T for tha 1st (?) time!! Sounds like he blends in pretty good fa a No-Mind, lol! My Rating: 4.6


05. “I’m A Freak” Feat. Rapheal
Foxx’s song featuring Rapheal; let’s see dis one… >>> Although I’m not crazy about tha A-Tune, this ain’t too bad fa an A-Tune’d hook; at least Foxx’s holdin’ down tha rappin’! My Rating: 4.2


06. “Bullshit” Feat. Lil’ Yungin
Foxx has Lil’ Yungin on tha feature! Lil’ Yungin was tha lady that Beat Flippa and other tight Baton Rouge producers produced for! Let’s hear how it turns out ta be in a collaboration! >>> Still sounds pretty good; feelin’ tha catchy hook! This iz a pretty-catchy song. Lil’ Yungin sounds good fa tha feature; she’s fulla energy. My Rating: 4.2


07. “G-Thang” Feat. K.T.
Big 2T & K.T. on a song together; let’s hear it. >>> Wow, how pathetic tha beginning/hook sounds! :td Throughout tha 1st verse, when Big 2T’s rappin’, K.T. sounds like he’s suckin’ on a dick wit dat gay-ass A-Tune on his voice throughout tha lil’ adlibs, smh! Even he had ta be on tha 2nd verse? SMH, this song’s goin’ downhill tha whole way! For some reason, I will like K.T. as a person, since he respects what I do. But, this shit’s gotta go!! My Rating: 1.1


08. “Ace Boon Coon”
Foxx’s song wit Hollywood & Big 2T here, too. >>> At least K.T.’s producing a better beat/on a normal level! Tha hook’s somewhat-catchy. This ain’t too bad of a song; Foxx adds dat good rappin’ to tha track. I assume Da No-Mindz are Foxx, Hollywood, Big 2T, and someone else. Good job from Hollywood and 2T, doin’ tha damn thang to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3


09. “Winner” Feat. K.T.
>>> What’s wit these different, somewhat-weird-soundin’ K.T. beat tags? Why do people have beat tags? I don’t! This ain’t too gay although I’m not too crazy ‘bout tha hook. As for tha song itself, it ain’t that bad. Foxx always has a plus on every song he’s on. My Rating: 3.4


½time: A 3.9-rated CD, so far. I thought it would be higher but #7 completely made a crash in tha CD. :(


10. “Dumb, Dumb” Feat. Lil’ Yungin
>>> Wow, this iz pretty crazy for a K.T.-produced track!! Anotha real hot collaboration between Foxx and Lil’ Yungin!! Glad Yungin bringin’ buku energy to tha track!! You know it must be nuts ta have Foxx combined wit energy, too! LOL, Lil’ Yungin on tha 2nd verse? Must be her actual song featurin’ Foxx; interestin’. Foxx iz pretty good on tha 3rd verse; glad Lil’ Yungin helps him out wit tha background, too! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Don’t Play” Feat. Lil’ Yungin
>>> Anotha K.T.-produced track; some serious shit here! This iz a pretty-catchy-soundin’ song; likin’ how Foxx delivers tha hook! Good shit right here, Foxx! How great will Hollywood sound? Feelin’ how he deliverin’ tha 2nd verse; gangsta shit to tha fullest! Lil’ Yungin comin’ through wit some tight shit for tha 3rd verse, too! Nice job wit tha collaboration; thumbs up ta K.T. on tha beat! My Rating: 4.5


12. “So Icey”
Like before, fuck this song! Don’t even know why it’s here!! My Current Rating: 1.0


13. “Left, Right”
>>> Sounds catchy; mo good shit from Da No-Mindz!! I like how Hollywood always come through on tha track, representin’ to tha fullest!! LOL, Big 2T iz on tha 3rd verse and he’s in charge of one of K.T.’s beat tags (tha “Young K.T. on tha track” (echos) one)? Definitely ’09; I remember tha sample even used on some shit from tha past; interestin’… My Rating: 4.3


14. “Baddest”
No Hollywood but still Foxx and 2T, lol. >>> Anotha hot song fa tha ladies; gotta luv tha energy!! Foxx keepin’ it goin’ and goin’ and goin’ and goin’, lol!! Big 2T doin’ a pretty-good job throughout tha 2nd verse! Foxx, you’re always comin’ through wit tha tightness; glad you got tha 3rd verse on lock! “Feelin’ like MySpace…;” you know we’re in ’09 right now! My Rating: 4.2


15. “Dirty Dancing” Feat. K.T.
>>> I believe this anotha, different K.T. beat tag. Doesn’t sound like somethin’ I’d like! Damn, both K.T. and Foxx have a dick in their mouth on this one, smh? What trash; why do people still abuse, like, obsess, suck on, erect over, etc. A-Tune, in a gay way? :confused Had to skip all tha way to about 2:23 ta start dis one off. Even though boring and typical, Hollywood’s at least deliverin’ some normal shit. 2T’s on tha final verse and it’s not really for me; lemme end dis! My Rating: 1.2


16. “Work Dat Pole”
>>> Anotha K.T. beat tag? This sounds entertainin’; gotta feel dat hook! This iz a much betta female song; not like tha previous song!! Anotha good collaboration although I get tired of tha “make it rain” shit. :td Kinda gettin’ tirin’ toward tha end; sorry, Hollywood. My Rating: 4.1


17. “Suppose To”
Hollywood’s song featurin’ Foxx, once again; let’s hear it! >>> Tha production’s pretty nice for tha start! Tha hook’s catchy; nice and energetic here! Hollywood’s holdin’ down this shit, whether Foxx iz on it or not! Good, consistent shit he spittin’ to tha fullest!! Either way, you know Foxx’s comin’ through wit dat consistent shit, too! My Rating: 4.3


18. “If I Would Of Knew”
I assume it’s a full-group song? >>> K.T. beat tag and sounds pretty disgusting for a beat start; expectin’ dis ta be skipped or trashed! Soundin’ scary on tha voice; really not bein’ bothered wit dis! I assume this whole song was just K.T. and nobody else; whateva… My Rating: 1.4


Overall: Some songs were not called for but tha rest of tha CD was nice and consistent! Thumbs up to Da No-Mindz!! Keep up tha great work!!
