Review #838: Bro-Bro "Thinkin' Out Loud"

Reviewed on 3.01.2011 (Review #838)


Keepin’ it goin’, Bro-Bro “Thinkin’ Out Loud iz up next, tha actual, full-length CD! Start Time: 6:20 PM | End Time: 7:00 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. “Time Brangs About Changes”
Produced by Mainline; let’s hear dis. >>> Kinda different for a starting song but I like tha way tha production sounds. Tha hook sounds like some shit dat ain’t fa me; should be an ending song? My Rating: 3.4


02. “Back 2 Back” Feat. Beezy Bird
No wonder, it’s DJ B-Real on tha beat ‘cause tha Beezy Bird sample in tha beat! This sounds betta from tha previous joint. So iz this where tha “Back2Back” Puppy sample came from? Tight shit here; definite plus!! Once again, DJ B-Real produced this put Beezy Bird in tha background wit tha “bow, bow” so you know what dat means… he counts as being a part of tha song! Glad I was able to ID one of tha features! I like all tha “izaint” shit; DEFINITELY catchy all tha way through!!! Nice job on tha verses, too! My Current Rating: 4.6


03. “2nite” Feat. Money Bagz
J-Hook beat!! Keepin’ it tight, here; this iz pretty good… LOL, can I ask, “what made you get into drugs?” Like, what was tha age and what made you wanna do it, lol? Nice job wit makin’ some catchy, 225, street music! You teamed up wit Money Bagz here, also wit a “Polo horse,” lol. He did a pretty good job and he’s on tha same level as you, lol. You added some more to tha rest of tha song… My Current Rating: 4.2


04. “Camera” Feat. Tyree Neal
DJ B-Real did this beat as well as a guitar from Tyree, lol. >>> New song fa me and it’s pretty tight fa a slow, smooth song about sex! Good song but a lil’ too many shout outs ta “B-Real”? He does approve or respond back to me so he doesn’t need to be acknowledged x amount of times ‘til he does respond! Good job wit how you doin’ ya thang on tha verses! Tyree sounds like a dude dat would have a Savage face or somethin’, lol; not bad… My Rating: 4.1


05. “Donkey Rope” Feat. Lil’ Mista
Oh, so Mista’s on dis as well as a “rope” in tha title! E.P. on tha track, lol! Sounds kinda funny for a start… Sounds good again wit dis “donkey” shit, lol! Mista’s on tha 2nd verse, here, and I like tha “Polo on my body” start to tha 2nd verse as well as tha “purple in my lungs” shit, too. LOL @ tha random “you a whole asshole” part! My Current Rating: 4.3


06. “So Good”
Anotha Mainline production; anotha short length, too? >>> For a song dat doesn’t sound like I’d really like, it sounds pretty nice wit tha production, once again, as well as how you hold it down! My Rating: 4.0


07. “Get It N” Feat. Level
Self-produced from tha label (Jazzy Records wit their Jazzy Productions); must be anticipatin’ and lol @ tha “n”! >>> Definitely some hot shit!! Level has some hot background shit goin’ on in tha hook, ya dig? Good job wit tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit tha consistent, crazy rhymes!! Speakin’ of crazy rhymes, Level’s doin’ tha damn thang on tha 2nd verse; nothin’ but dat crazy-ass shit!!!!! You’re doin’ tha damn thang on tha 3rd verse wit your spellin’, lol, keepin’ it hot! My Rating: 4.7


08. “It’s Hot”
Here comes mo production from Mainline… >>> Anotha smooth joint dat’s acceptable fa me. LOL @ tha hook; you “(swearin’ dis) hot,” which iz a good perspective. Tha smooth beat makes your rhymes good, easy ta listen to. Nice job wit all your rhymes; always entertainment fa me! My Rating: 4.1


09. “I’m Going Dumb” Feat. G Thang
Anotha Mainline beat wit a different title and a feature, here. >>> This iz different fa him, lol; iz dis ‘pose ta be a surprise or somethin’, lol? Funny…; definitely nice!! G Thang sounds pretty nice. LOL, because tha title iz about havin’ energy, does it have ta immediately be about tha “hoes,” lol? Glad he soundin’ good; surprised he sounds typical fa a newbie (I think, newbie) fa me. My Rating: 4.5


10. “Late Night” Feat. Tyree Neal
Why a missin’ “e” from his name? Big Josh did tha beat… >>> Nothin’ too special for a start but tha beat’s betta than a usual beat I’d hear on somethin’ like dis. Lyrics are not bad; a lil’ mainstream fa me, at times… My Rating: 3.6


½time: I’m rating this CD a 4.2, currently; can it keep up?


11. “Cup Up” Feat. Sam I Am
Jazzy Productions and a tight feature!! >>> LOL, Big Josh actually bein’ a part of tha production, here; pretty nice! What else can you expect from somethin’ like dis? Nothin’ but dat tight shit! Sam’s doin’ a nice job, too; what else can you expect from him, too? Classic dude to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.4
EDIT: Neva knew Sam I Am was on this before? I don’t remember; I know I rush these reviewz, at times, ‘cause of so many wit so-little time.


12. “Think It’s A Game” Feat. Lil’ Mista
Good collaboration and title wit Big Josh doin’ tha beat! >>> Speakin’ of “Nu$$ie,” it sounds like some DCF-type shit, here! You doin’ ya thang on tha hook; nothin’ but greatness!! Good job doin’ tha damn thang on tha verses, comin’ through wit tha consistency!! Mista comin’ through wit some mo tight shit on tha 3rd verse! Glad y’all collab’d again! Nothin’ but street shit—in visionin’ it good! My Rating: 4.5


13. “Let It Go” Feat. Tyree Neal
Big Josh beat/Tyree on guitar. How will dis go? >>> Hate tha gayness in tha beginning; makes me feel really uncomfortable! :td No plus on tha hook for me, this time. This beat’s completely stale for me, too. Tha rappin’ ain’t interestin’ fa me, too—maybe for a girl, though. My Rating: 2.2


14. “In My Gangsta” Feat. Tyree Neal
Again, Big Josh beat/Tyree on guitar. But, lol @ tha “e” missin’ again! >>> This iz much betta; likin’ tha “funky” sounds here! Tha hook’s really official wit all tha shit you be doin’ “in (ya) gangsta!” Good job wit tha only verse! Tha length’s pretty nice for my radio show; could throw it in to have room for longer songs! My Rating: 4.6


15. “Stuntin’ On ‘Em” Feat. J Buc
LOL @ tha feature/producer; you gettin’ it in! >>> Sounds like some hot shit for a start; let’s keep it goin’!! LOL @ tha “a bad bitch, no scumbag” part! You deliverin’ tha tight shit to tha fullest! Ooh, tha beat’s soundin’ pretty nice afta 1:00!! Buc appeared on tha hook outta nowhere, doin’ tha damn thang!! What a tight collaboration!! Gotta get buku jointz from dis CD on my radio show!! Nice job continuin’ this tight-ass song, Bro-Bro!! My Rating: 4.6


16. “Don’t Do Me Like Dat” Feat. Big John, Lil’ G & Pooh
More in-house-type production here from tha Fam! >>> Ooh, nice start wit tha lil’ kid and how this iz soundin’! Good job wit how you comin’ through on tha hook; what crazy shit you come up wit!! How you do it, bruh—Bro-Bro, lol? Tha 2nd verse sounded like an older dude, doin’ a nice job, too! Tha 3rd verse I don’t have much ta say; it fits wit tha crew at Jazzy Fam Records. You’re rappin’ on tha 4th verse, keepin’ dis 225 flava comin’ along!! My Rating: 4.3


17. “Real”
Anotha Mainline production… >>> Tha beat’s cool and you keepin’ it “real” fa dis CD and how you come through wit tha tight jamz! A good joint ta mix wit dis CD; gotta have tha content and tha beat from Bro-Bro & Jazzy Fam at all times!! My Rating: 4.2


18. “Never Meant”
An X-Fyle beat! >>> A fade-in intro gives me low anticipation… Tha production’s weak for me; not inta dis Kanye-soundin’ shit. What’s wit tha yucky, Mickey Mouse voice? My Rating: 2.4


19. “Twurk It (Remix)” Feat. Jackie Neal, Tyree Neal & Big Pooh
Mainline on tha beat and lol @ tha missin’ letters in “Tyree” and “Pooh”… A Bounce vibe but mixed wit some weird Soul? I didn’t have much interest in tha beginning but this ain’t too bad, overall; this vibe iz what’s up!! My Current Rating: 3.7


20. “That’s The Way We Roll (Part 2: R.I.P. Jackie Neal, Raful Neal & Ronnie Neal)”
No producer listed; was there any room? Looks like you’re losin’ your family. :( >>> I believe this was tha last joint from tha demo disc? Has ta be since dat was a ‘demo disc’. Unfortunately, I feel tha same; still a 2.7. My Current Rating: 2.7


Overall: Good job wit dis CD; you got tha bangers on lock!
