Review #919: Slym B "It's Like That Sometimes Vol. 1: The Before The Heart Bleeds Series"

Reviewed on 3.29.2011 (Review #919)




Hopefully, this’ll be my last day that I’m behind wit reviewz!! Kickin’ off today, it’s Slym B “It’s Like That Sometimes Vol. 1: The Before The Heart Bleeds Series! Start Time: 7:10 AM | End Time: 7:29 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. “Untraditional”
>>> Mouse production? Oh, rofl, it’s “Top Notch” beat. Thought shit sounded off-beat, at first, but tha rhymes are pretty consistent and catchy; nice job. My Rating: 3.9


02. “DGMGTV Flow”
>>> This stupid beat? Rappin’ iz definitely on-point to tha fullest but this beat ain’t! My Rating: 4.2


03. “On The Contrary”
>>> This iz a decent beat you chose ta rap on; thought this was gonna be a compilation CD fa a second. Tha rappin’ iz good, once again; seems like you don’t disappoint! My Rating: 3.8


04. “She Drives Me Wild (Baby Mama)”
>>> This iz less-interestin’ fa me; not my kinda subject/daily routine that goes on. Then again, I just keep my interest in Alexia—girlfriend or not, I treat her like one! Either way, this iz a lil’ catchy, so I’ll give you props. My Rating: 3.8


05. “Driving Too Fast”
>>> Good shit, here, but really, who tha hell actually drives “too fast”? Doesn’t sound real; can’t picture it! Nice job wit these ‘car’ rhymes, though; feelin’ ‘em! My Rating: 3.9


06. “Truth Said Different”
>>> LOL, Neptunes beat; glad you took it back some years! Who would’ve thought their beats would turn so old? Shame dat typical people these dayz don’t even remember/know who they are, smh! Anyway, pretty-good job, here. My Rating: 3.7


07. Checks In 1 (Unspoken Connection)
>>> Glad you have an interlude, here; ‘preciate this info! New mixtape on “April 20!” My Rating: N/A


08. “Unspoken Connection”
Let’s hear this snippet… >>> I liked tha other female song betta; sounds like anotha different style fa you, here. Still, you comin’ through wit some aight-type shit. My Rating: 2.9


½time: Not bad wit this CD of yours; a 3.7-rated CD, currently.


09. “Redefine Yo Mindframe”
>>> Sounds tight wit tha rappin’ but I really don’t like this soft beat; doesn’t mix… My Rating: 3.5


10. “With The Wrong Crowd”
>>> Sounds a lil’ entertainin’ in tha beginning; let’s see what happens wit dis one… This sounds decent, overall; good real-life lyrics. My Rating: 3.5


11. Checks In 2 (Lust & Love Episode)
Anotha one? Let’s see… >>> Sounds a lil’ soft on this check-in. Overall, sounds like you’re focused on tha ladies wit this interlude. Too bad I can’t hear tha next song ‘cause it’s not in tha folder… My Rating: N/A


12. “Baby I’m Watching (3rd Degree Of Lust)”
Not in tha DatPiff folder or workin’ on DatPiff. My Rating: N/A


13. “Beyond Your Makeup”
>>> Not a good-soundin’ beat fa me, since it sounds East Coastish. Tha rhymes are good, at least… My Rating: 3.6


14. “A Flame That’s Consuming”
Tha 2nd of 3rd song that’s not in tha DatPiff folder or workin’ on DatPiff player. My Rating: N/A


15. “The Misconception (That’s Like)”
Tha final song that’s not in tha DatPiff folder or workin’ on DatPiff. My Rating: N/A


16. “In Our Dreams (We Wish)”
>>> This sounds even more not-for-me wit tha dry beat and tha rhymes/flow could’ve been betta… Oh wait, they’re soundin’ a lil’ betta wit tha “cops” part but overall, this izn’t somethin’ I’d be crazy about. My Rating: 3.5


17. Outro (100+ Shoutouts)
>>> Damn, over eight minutes? How much you got, here? I like how almost two minutes in, your voice got more energy in dis; thumbs up ta tha dialect, at times! Direct Grind Music Group in tha buildin’! My Rating: N/A


Overall: Not that bad for a CD from you; more of good rhymes and beats that are not really for me, overall.
