Reviewed on 12.09.2011 (Review #1,095)




This next review was via e-mail: Printts A, a rapper from Lafayette, who represents for tha label, WinCamp, Your Other Favorite Rapper; let’s see how it goes. Start Time: 7:29 PM | End Time: 8:16 PM


Disclaimer: 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 already love it. 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. “Wassup Yo!”
Wonder what kinda beginning we gon have, here…? >>> Ooh, sounds like a Yaz “Don’t Go” beat sample in tha beginning; interestin’… This sounds good; didn’t realize how short it was (only 1:54)! Good job wit tha rhymes; keep this goin’! Hope tha rest of tha songs have a good vibe like this! My Rating: 4.3


02. “The Same”
>>> Likin’ tha beat start, once again; I like these trance sound effects and shit. Tha hook sounds good; glad you don’t “think tha same.” For me, I agree ‘cause I’m diagnosed wit tha autism/Asperger’s syndrome, so I can’t agree wit most people! Good job wit tha 1^st verse; these short lengths work pretty good, since they’re not draggin’! Tha 2^nd verse iz not bad, too; nice job… My Rating: 3.9


03. “Vibes (From Curie House)”
What’s this? >>> An okay start, but at least it’s short… For tha rhymes, they’re good; this an aight joint… Unsourced, Curren$y wannabe on tha 2^nd verse? Decent, but no comment ‘cause of tha voice. My Rating: 3.6


04. “Arap”
What could this be? >>> Much better beat start. Some of tha kicks and shit sound like what a mainstream rap song might sound like, so it’s more on tha decent level, but better-than-usual ‘cause of tha hot sounds. Verses are good… My Rating: 3.9


05. “On Lock” Feat. Juan
What? Why’s tha feature listed, now? How offensive to tha Curren$y wannabe, lol! >>> Sounds like a good, regular-type rap song; nice hook. Hearin’ tha Juan dude on tha 1^st verse and I’m not into these rhymes; they sound like this dumb-ass, 2010s generation, and I can tell he born after 1987! You sound much betta on tha 2^nd verse, at least, but I’m deductin’ ‘cause of that “money this, easily able ta do this”-type rap that’s ruinin’ tha rap world! My Rating: 3.3


06. “Comin’ Down”
A song over three minutes long? >>> Not really into tha flow on tha 1^st verse, due to it sounds like tha rap music today. Tha 2^nd verse has a betta-soundin’ verse, though; hook’s okay, too. Ooh, a 3^rd verse, outta nowhere, soundin’ pretty good… My Rating: 3.5


07. “8-Bit Truth”
Longer songs? I hope they’re good enough to be longer… >>> Ooh, does sound like a video game/“8-Bit” sounds! BTW, there’s a dash between “8” and “Bit”. Tha rhymes sound real good on this really unique beat! Goes good wit Super Nintendo, even though to set tha mood, I should be playin’ regular Nintendo, instead, lol? Tha 2^nd verse sounds really good, too; nice job! My Rating: 4.5


08. “Exclusive”
Anotha one ova three minutes? Hope it’s good, too! >>> Sounds like a nice beat start, but a lil’ on tha pop-anticipation side. Oh, I hear a lot of BPMs; glad it’s on a fast side! Good job wit tha verses, here. My Rating: 4.2


½time: A 3.9-rated CD, currently; nice job.


09. “Goodnight (Her Song)”
I dunno about tha title… >>> Way too soft for me; I think I’m too old for this kinda shit, since it sounds a lil’ childish… I mean, I know you prolly got kids, but I always expect rap or hip-hop, not pop rap, when it comes to underground, Louisiana rap music! My Rating: 2.4


10. “Your Other Favorite Rapper”
Tha title track… >>> Sounds like Philly music; ewe? I feel like a loser when I think of when I used to try and like underground, non-Louisiana music… Either way, it sounds good on “your” end, here; good job wit these continuous rhymes. LOL, didn’t expect a 3^rd verse, but you gotta keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.0


11. “If You Ever Listen”
Not really lookin’ forward to a 4:34-length song… >>> Damn, even on a soft side? Sounds a lil’ like this New Orleans rapper Famous Stranger, wit tha singin’ hook. More for tha ladies, here, but too soft for me to hear. Wow, just when you thought it was gettin’ so borin’, tha beat made a huge change ‘round durin’ tha 3^rd minute of tha song! Rhymes are also a lil’ betta… kinda, ‘til I heard tha word “swag.” Either way, took too long to catch my attention, but it’s better than #9. My Rating: 2.9


12. “To Whom It May Concern”
>>> Sounds soft, but at least it’s 2x shorter. A lil’ on tha positive side, but too positive for me to enjoy. Ugh, I don’t like how that hook sounds; almost afraid some gay-ass, dick-on-dick-suckin’ a-tune gon come out or somethin’! My Rating: 2.6


13. “Last Night”
>>> Why does this CD keep gettin’ worse and worse? Not as bad as I thought, but damn, a rap CD havin’ a singin’ song on it? Bad diversity! Also, this sounds scary; why am I listenin’ to this right now? My Rating: 1.8


14. “Gucci Gucci” Feat. R.E.G.
>>> Sounds better; cool beats goin’ on, here. Tha dude on tha feature sounds like he mainly was active in tha 2010s wit his rhymes (even sayin’ tha word, “auto-tune”), so they’re below decent for me. Overall, this sounds more like Three 6 Mafia than an actual Louisiana song. My Rating: 3.6


15. “Something For Ya”
>>> A nice beat, but sounds a lil’ scary in tha beginning… Rhymes ain’t bad, but this hook’s pretty bad… My Rating: 3.0


16. “The Other Room”
>>> What tha hell’s this? Damn, artists need to start makin’ actual rap music and not worryin’ about what others think! Everyone’s too damn intimidated today! My Rating: 2.0


Overall: Nice job wit tha 1^st ½, but pretty wack 2^nd ½… Either way, at least there’s a few songs that can go on my radio show, here.
