Reviewed on 3.20.2011 (Review #874)




Shout out ta Hawk/InkIncBR fa hookin’ me up wit my first-eva InkIncBR’d mixtape covers!! Couldn’t’ve asked fa betta!! Wit dat bein’ on my mind, let’s get into this review: Wodie On The Beat & Mod Productions, collaborating on “Tell ‘Em Like It Is”; Wodieson & Mod collaboratin’ on dis one! Start Time: 5:32 PM | End Time: 6:01 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”
>>> ROFL, “2007”? Should be interestin’, regardless. Tha cover does look a lil’ oldish, too. Sounds like Mod rappin’, here; good for ’07… LOL, Wodie comin’ outta nowhere wit his voice and style, lol. My Rating: 3.8


02. “Tell’em Like It Is”
>>> Regardless of tha age, tha Mod beat tag’s still there. Sounds a lil’ like Yung Joc, a lil’, wit Mod. Tha beat’s interestin’, so y’all rhymes go off, here! My Rating: 4.0


03. “Checkout My Swagga” Feat. Lil’ Ganggsta & City Boy of UV
>>> Wodie beat and I’m likin’ this one betta; tha “blue dolphins” definitely sound tight fa dis kinda joint… and, Wodie, lol! City Boy’s on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ a lil’ like you, Wodie, lol. No Mod on this one but surprise: Lil’ Ganggsta, lol! He crazy wit dis ‘pill’ talk, lol! Gotta luv it!! My Rating: 4.3


04. “She Look Good 2 Me”
>>> Sounds more like a Mod beat, mainly goin’ off tha intro. I’m likin’ dis style; feelin’ all tha clap-type shit in tha beat! Tha hook’s hot, too; you know what it iz! Tha rhymes are good fa dis kinda joint, too; props… My Rating: 4.1


05. “Ain’t Nothing”
>>> Not an original beat; this doesn’t sound like it even belongs here! For a gay A-Tune start, doesn’t seem ta stick on tha track, luckily. However, wit tha aight rhymes, this ain’t that up-‘n’-up fa me. My Rating: 2.8


06. “Fallin’ In Luv” Feat. Cat & Lil’ Ganggsta
>>> This sounds like a scary hook, too, but it’s a lil’ catchy at tha same time. This iz “fallin’,” not “fallen,” ‘cause tha “hoes” are currently “fallin’ in luv,” not have “fallen in luv,” ya dig? Tha Cat dude sounds pretty-good wit tha rappin’, here. Damn, Wodie almost sounds like Ganggsta/vice-versa, here, lol! Got confused ‘til I heard tha 3rd verse… Anyway, glad Ganggsta makin’ more contributions, too; thumbs up! My Rating: 3.4


07. “Watch Me Do My Thang” Feat. Wild Wigg & Lil’ Charlez
>>> No features listed but y’all said, “Lil’ Charlez,” in tha beginning; I assume he’s featured? Tha hook’s really simple but it’s good… I’m puttin’ Charlez on tha feature, since I hear a different dude on tha 1st verse. Actually, it’s both Wild Wigg & Lil’ Charlez; good collaboration! Thumbs up ta err-body doin’ they “thang,” lol! My Rating: 3.7


½time: A 3.7-rated CD, currently… Most of tha shit sounds after-’07 fa me, at times.


08. “Do My Lil’ Dance” Feat. Lil’ O & Mayham
Don’t think I’ll go fa dis one, even though I like tha 985 collaboration… >>> A Wodie beat. Almost sounds like Ganggsta; dat Wodie, lol!! Tha hook ain’t too bad but unfortunately, tha 1st verse iz wack for me; it’s this subject! Tha 2nd verse’s a lil’ betta; Mod? Actually, wasn’t bad… Mayham sounds good on tha 3rd verse; I guess it was just tha 1st verse dat didn’t fit. LOL @ tha “dis ain’t no bunny hoppin’;” fa real, lol? My Rating: 2.9


09. “Way Out Of Line”
>>> A Mod beat; this iz an interestin’ hook and beat combo! Gotta luv dat Wodie on tha verse contributions, lol!! My Rating: 4.0


10. “Dat Good Lyfe” Feat. Cat & L Ceezy
>>> Can’t deal wit tha scary hook; completely ruins tha mood I could’ve had fa dis song. SMH, why iz this song over five minutes long? Tha verse are decent but damn, gay-ass background vocals? My Rating: 2.3


11. “Cross Here”
>>> Okay, I can see tha oldness, now. Heard this Mod beat many times but this must be tha original version of it. Tha hook’s good but unfortunately, gotta give it up ta tha 1st time I heard it on an ’08 CD by V.I.P. Da Outlaw. Overall, this iz a decent/good song. My Rating: 4.2


12. “Red Monkeys” Feat. Ms. Chelsea, Yung Reese, DJ Redd Stylezz & Mr. Marcus
Interestin’ collab… >>> Different Wodie tag? Oh yea, it’s ’07, now. This ain’t dat bad… Not really inta tha female’s verse, here. Tha dude doin’ tha hook and tha 2nd verse sounds tight! Dat voice holds dis shit down! LOL, tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse dude sounds like Lil’ Ruthless? Must be one of tha featured dudes. DJ Redd Stylezz on tha 3rd verse? Just a guess; he says, “red,” a lot, lol. My Rating: 3.5


13. “Ass Ackin’” Feat. Carleon & Lil’ Ganggsta
>>> LOL, likin’ dis title and tha hook! Ganggsta on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some lol-drunk shit, lol. Definitely somethin’ I like ta hear; thumbs up ta tha collaboration! Anotha tight voice ta hold shit down: Carleon! Who’s on tha 3rd verse? Or, iz it a different voice, alias style? My Rating: 4.4


14. “Give It All 2 U” Feat. Mist Rags
>>> I don’t think I gon waste my time wit dis one! However, Mist Rags sounds a lil’ betta. My Rating: 1.8


15. Outro
>>> Good ending. My Rating: N/A


Overall: Good/decent at times except tha gay-ass A-Tune shit. I like how there were a good list of features, too!
