Reviewed on 5.26.2011 (Review #958)


My final review for current reviewz (hopefully for tha month, since I wanna get back into my marathon): Bic Jack, Dirty Harry & J.R. “Grind B4 Tha Shine Vol. 1 (Hosted by DJ Scrap), starring peeps like Dirty Harry, Bic Jack & J.R.! Start Time: 2:39 PM | End Time: 3:19 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
Only 20 seconds? What gon pop off? >>> Sounds anticipatin’ wit tha beat in tha background! My Rating: N/A


02. “I’m Str8”
Missin’ an “r” in “st8”? Let’s hear how good dis’ll sound! >>> Quality’s not dat high? A lil’ slow start fa me but tha beat sounds good; lol, tha vocals sound so slow on tha hook, especially durin’ tha 2nd ½, lol! Rhymes from Bic Jack sounds pretty good on tha 1st verse, Lajah Music Group style! J.R. must be on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some betta shit; likin’ what he bringin’ to tha table, hustla style! Interestin’ dat Dirty Harry’s a part of dis project, spittin’ some good, catchy rhymes, too! My Rating: 3.9


03. “Alright”
A Dirty Harry solo? My 2nd highest-rated song from Dirty Harry’s previous CD; glad it’s here! My Current Rating: 4.4


04. “You Ain’t Gotta Like It”
Let’s see what dis about… >>> I like how it starts wit Dirty Harry on tha hook; soundin’ hella catchy wit this title! Nice beat he rappin’ on, as well as tha certified rhymes he spittin’! Here’s Bic Jack on tha 2nd verse, doin’ a nice job wit tha rhymes, too… LOL @ tha acapella part wit “bitch, suck my dick…;” that was, like, instant, lol! J.R.’s on tha final verse and he’s pretty focused about how shit be goin’ down; glad he comin’ through in a tight way! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Bury Me Thug’in”
A solo joint from Bic Jack; let’s hear it! >>> Glad he gon shine on dis; sounds like he doin’ a nice job already! Tha hook’s soundin’ pretty good; you sound a lil’ different, in a younger, undaground perspective! Nice title; I like how tha hook ended wit it! My Rating: 4.2


06. “Enough About You”
J.R.’s solo joint! >>> Glad this iz a new joint and dat it sounds good; he doin’ a nice job, here! LOL, nothin’ but consistent rhymes comin’ from his mouth; keep ‘em goin’!! My Rating: 4.0


07. “You Know”
I knew dis was familiar from Dirty Harry… A lil’ older and it struck gold when I first reviewed it!! My Current Rating: 4.8


08. “I Be Doin’ It”
Bic Jack solo, this time! >>> LOL, what’s dat beat tag in tha beginning? Heard it in #2, too…; some of these tags are hilarious, especially when they come outta nowhere! Rhymes sound advanced, here, wit tha “put dat dick up in her mouth” and tha gun shit; guess Bic Jack’s been here, since he “be doin’ it.” Tha 2nd verse sounds nice wit tha shit he bringin’, too, wit tha “kush,” which helps tha rest of tha aight rhymes goin’ on, here. My Rating: 3.9


09. “It Ain’t What It Seems”
New song from Dirty Harry? >>> I’m likin’ tha beat; gotta luv these addictive-soundin’ beats! Good rhymes from Harry, comin’ through wit tha real shit!! Ooh, tha hook’s nice; sounds like regular rappin’ but tha title helps! Glad Dirty Harry’s nice and smart; definitely helps tha rappin’!! My Rating: 4.5


½time: Dis CD’s definitely nice!! I didn’t realize there were buku solo jointz but they’re definitely nice!! Hope ta hear at least one more joint wit all three of y’all on it, though! Currently, 4.3 iz tha CD rating!!!


10. “Can I Have A Chance” Feat. Adlib
J.R.’s joint wit Adlib? I dunno how I’ll feel; lemme hear… >>> Really depressin’ start but tha hook ain’t too bad… Now, J.R.’s on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some rhymes, at least; this sour beat ain’t too bad… I really like how J.R.—and various times throughout dis mixtape—shouted out “Hawk;” gotta show buku luv ta him! Overall, this wasn’t too bad for a slow song! My Rating: 3.6


11. “Who Kan I Run 2” Feat. Meechie
Jack’s song featuring some Meechie dude… >>> Sounds like a better version of a slow beat, this time! Rhymes sound pretty catchy for tha ladies, here; good shit, Bic! Nice job wit how you comin’ through wit tha rhymes… Oh, Meechie’s a gurl? Sounds okay but I dunno how much I can feel it…; not tha best; not tha worst, either… Surprisingly, I think I like tha Adlib joint I just heard betta. My Rating: 3.5


12. “Game For The Brain” Feat. Jamie C
J.R.’s solo joint featuring Jamie C; dude or gurl? >>> Damn, not anotha slow song… Not tha gurl trick again! This one’s worse than tha previous song, already; not likin’ how tha vocals sound like they sample a song… Tha beat iz way too plain and boring for me, here; low interest in tha rhymes, too. My Rating: 2.4


13. “Get It Up There” Feat. Jamie C & Y-Kean
Who’s song? Everyone’s? >>> Ooh, Wodieson beat tag and this sounds like a good joint wit a lady on it (oh, ladies, my bad)! Yea, this must be err-body ‘cause Jack’s on tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse and Dirty Harry’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse; both y’all doin’ a nice job on this faster-soundin’ beat! LOL, “I get head like a fitted;” no wonder why they call him Dirty Harry, lol! Tha 2nd verse iz Y-Kean; let’s see what she’s got… Okay, this rappin’ from her iz betta than those previous songs I just heard! Almost didn’t think a 3rd verse was gonna fit on here but it’s soundin’ good from J.R.; thumbs up! My Rating: 4.0


14. “Check Out My Fresh”
A Dirty Harry song… >>> Dot Com Beatz on tha beat; sounds hot, once again, wit how these beats are meant ta be!! Why does dis sound a lil’ familiar? Regardless, it’s definitely nice; very consistent rhymin’!!! LOL, Dirty Harry drugged up on some rappin’ liquid/fluid, lol! Sounds like a comeback song from Harry; definitely some good shit, overall; tha rhymes neva stop throughout dis whole thang!! My Rating: 4.7


15. “Hell Of A Night” Feat. Lil’ Cali
Got dis saved in my favorites but now, I gon hear it here, first! J.R.’s solo song, by tha way! >>> Mod Productions doin’ tha beat; sounds like dis gon be one “hell of a” song, lol! Prolly would’ve expected a really crazy, hyper-soundin’ beat but this iz cool, too! Sounds like a hook dat could get in ya system, lol! Tha rhymes sound cool on tha 1st verse; good job, J.R.! Glad he’s in tha mood in a great way!! Cali’s on tha 2nd verse and it sounds like a “hell of a” collaboration!! LOL, already twice, I said, “hell of a ___;” guess “hell of a ___” will be a Summer 2011 sayin’! Seems ta not get outta my head, lol! Good job, Cali; tha two cents he offered added tha orange juice ta dis lemonade, lol! Here’s J.R. on tha 3rd verse, addin’ some Shirley Temple-type flava to tha ingredients of dis song; thumbs up!! My Rating: 4.4


16. “I Do Wat U Kant” Feat. Level
LOL @ “wat” dis title looks like; let’s see how Jack gon hold it down wit Level! >>> Almost sounds like a Louisiana artist on tha sample; good shit… LOL, just because it’s Level on tha feature, does dis mean dat Bic Jack has ta go crazy, lol?!? Funny…; feelin’ his extended energy applied to tha track! LOL, I thought Level would be on tha 2nd verse but it’s you, comin’ through wit more tight shit! ROFL @ Level on tha 3rd verse, especially tha start!! LOL, iz he tha cockiest rapper? LOL… My Rating: 4.7


17. “What’s Up”
Anotha collaboration between tha three of y’all? Lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! >>> Beat sounds nice, wit a Baton Rouge feel to it! Tha 1st verse iz tight; thumbs up fa dis catchy shit from J.R.! Ooh, tha hook couldn’t’ve been anymore catchier wit tha way dis “what’s up” shit sounds; good shit! :tu Dirty Harry’s on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit mo heat fa dis CD; glad he doesn’t give up!! LOL @ Bic Jack on tha 3rd verse wit a “bitch lookin’ like a lemon donut!” Nothin’ but dat tight shit, overall!! My Rating: 4.4


18. “I’m Grown”
Anotha song by all three of y’all? Thought it would be an outro but let’s see what dis iz… >>> Wodieson on tha beat… Beat sounds good; you know how Wodie holds it down! Thought dis would sound a lil’ childish and for tha ladies, but it’s a lil’ catchy wit tha hook… Tha 1st verse sounds like a focused Dirty Harry; lol, thought it was someone else on tha 1st verse fa a second! Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ different; singin’ style from J.R.? A lil’ on tha interestin’ style, somewhat! Wait, was dat him? Sounds like err-body’s alternatin’ like crazy, lol! My Rating: 3.7


Overall: This was a nice mixtape from tha three of y’all!! Definitely thought it was nice ta hear Bic Jack introduced ta me; real nice ta hear a continuation of J.R.; real nice ta hear more of Dirty Harry! :tu All y’all keep up tha great work as well as Hawk, Lajah Music Group & anything else comin’ up!!
