Review #908: Tha Glacier Boy "Tattoos & A Mic"

Reviewed on 3.28.2011 (Review #908)


I hope today (and/or tomorrow) that I can complete tha current reviewz I’m behind in!! I have 14 afta this one; we’ll see what happens! This 1st one for today iz Tha Glacier Boy “Tattoos & A Mic. He founded M.I.B. Boyz as well as bein’ tha CEO of Certified Muzik. Start Time: 7:05 AM | End Time: 7:27 AM


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) Applause”
Different seein’ tha parenthesis “intro” before tha actual title. >>> Tha beat intro sounded cool and different…; tha rhymes sound nice and fast and are decent… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good fa an “applause”-type of anthem. My Rating: 3.8


02. “I’m Back”
>>> Sounds like it gon be good…; tha rhymes are cool, here. I’m now hearin’ tha hook and it’s soundin’ good, once again; guess you got tha tracks on lock? My Rating: 3.7


03. “Swagga Jackin’” Feat. Jus Dee-Jay
>>> For a “swag”-type of song, this iz a lil’ catchy… Even though this iz a boring topic, tha beat’s nice and you got some catchy rhymes. Surprisingly, Jus Dee-Jay sounds pretty-good on this joint… kinda. My Rating: 3.4


04. “Crown Me”
>>> Good beat intro; sounds like you got tha hook on lock, again! Tha rhymes are aight; good voice ta hold some of this shit down. My Rating: 3.7


05. “Get ‘Em” Feat. Ariele
Arielle (wit two “L’s”) from Big Fancy’s King Fancy Entertainment? Or, a different Ariele since there’s only one “L”? >>> Feelin’ tha beat start, here; definitely tha best one, so far! Ooh, tha 1st verse from you sounds nice; definitely an improvement! Tha hook sounds nice; can’t tell if this iz tha same Ariele, so I’ll just consider it a different one. I have ta say, thumbs up fa havin’ her on tha hook ‘cause it’s pretty catchy! Also, thumbs up fa tha 2nd verse; consistent shit, here, as well as tha gangsta shit! My Rating: 4.2


06. Thank You (Glacier Speaks)
>>> Thumbs up fa there bein’ a skit, here. My Rating: N/A


07. “Get ‘Em Buck”
>>> Sounds like happy music on tha beat intro. LOL, tha hook sounds happy, too, which iz pretty-good fa dis joint; thought it would be more Southern, lol. Tha rhymes are consistent, here; glad people motivate you for this motivated-type shit. My Rating: 3.6


08. “Feelin’ My Swag” Feat. T-Bo
Not anotha “swag” song, despite tha feature… >>> Thought I wasn’t gonna be too much inta tha beat but it’s aight, so far. T-Bo’s startin’ dis off and it’s soundin’ catchy, although I’d definitely expect betta. Okay, it’s gettin’ betta wit tha content, without tha “swag” shit. LOL, you’re “tha teacher,” here, but I dunno about tha “Swagganomics” class. Overall, this was a lil’ catchy; I dunno about tha Lil’ Wayne/Drake-soundin’ flow on your verse, a lil’. My Rating: 3.3


½time: A decent CD, currently; 3.7 for tha CD rating.


09. “Like Me”
>>> This sounds betta; nice beat you chose and tha hook’s catchy wit tha title. Tha flow’s like tha Wayne/Drake one, in a way, again, but there’s catchy lyrics… My Rating: 3.6


10. “Out My Mind” Feat. Tuda & Lil’ Wig
Who are these people? >>> Production’s definitely gettin’ betta; should like dis one… Tha 1st verse sounds entertainin’ wit this title/topic… Now, I’m hearin’ tha hook and it’s prolly tha best one on here! Definitely delivered nice, as well as tha content wit tha “(tokin’)”? :tu Tha 2nd verse’s good, but tha 3rd verse’s betta; Lil’ Wig holdin’ it down! My Rating: 4.3


11. “Snap Ya Neck”
Doesn’t look like a title I’d like… >>> For a decent CD, I would say that I don’t have lots of interest in dis. This iz more on a ‘swag’ tip; sounds like my boy J.Hu$tle randomly appearin’ on dis? Like, tha 2nd verse? My Rating: 3.2


12. “Killin’ ‘Em”
>>> LOL, anotha “swag” song? Somewhat-catchy but nothin’ ta grab my attention. My Rating: 3.0


13. “100 Racks”
>>> Still on a “swag” level, here; startin’ ta get bored… My Rating: 2.8


14. “Jump Stupid” Feat. Wild Wizzle
>>> Tha beat prolly could’ve had more hype and energy in it; tha hook’s aight but I know betta “Jump Stupid” songs. Hearin’ both tha 1st and 2nd verses and they’re aight; I think I might like tha 2nd verse betta wit this “jump” in tha “jungle” shit. My Rating: 3.7


15. “My Life (Outro)”
Longest song on here? Hope I don’t get bored… >>> Sounds like it could be boring but a lil’ catchy, at tha same time. Decent rhymes, overall; nothin’ special, though. My Rating: 2.9


16. “Certified Muzik (Bonus Freestyle)”
A bonus freestyle ta end it off? >>> Because you included “freestyle” in tha ID, as well as considerin’ it a “freestyle,” I gotta take it serious. When thinkin’ “freestyles”, I usually think of goin’ hard and consistent. Some consistency iz here but tha rhymes aren’t too hard fa me ‘til about 1:22, a lil’, which iz a lil’ too long ta wait. Overall, aight; not bad, nothin’ special. My Rating: 3.2


Overall: Decent, overall; you maintained although lacked a lil’ throughout tha 2nd ½…
