Review #1,138: Pada "Free Boo Boo (Promo Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 3.30.2012 (Review #1,138)

Gettin’ some more reviewz done… Here’s Pada Free Boo Boo (Promo Mixtape); Pada iz wit Jungle Records. Start Time: 9:08 AM | End Time: 9:32 AM

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 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. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Intro

>>> You actually sound like M.A. wit tha voice; good intro. My Rating: N/A

02. “1 N A Million” Feat. Ya Yo

>>> Nice for a really slow beat; “did niggaz dirty”? I was gonna ask, do people do you “dirty”? Like, how do you succeed, without people bein’ bitches, wit sellin’ shit? Tha Ya Yo gurl sounds good wit her ‘90s-soundin’ voice and delivery, on tha hook. My Rating: 3.8

03. “Steppin’” Feat. Uptown Redd

I remember this; thanx for M.A. for sendin’ it to me! Sounds like a catchy song that’s okay wit tha whole “steppin’” thing; at least you’re squashin’ people. My Current Rating: 3.6

04. “Jacc Boy” Feat. Corday

>>> Sounds like an okay flow; almost sounds like I heard this kinda flow before, wit tha “robbery” beginning… Good 2^nd verse from tha Corday dude, “dressed in all black.” Feelin’ these “drugs” rhymes, especially when it comes ta “lookin’” fa ‘em! My Rating: 3.6

05. “CNN” Feat. Jay Regal

>>> Didn’t know what ta expect wit this; I like how it’s a trap anthem. Once again, anotha really slow beat ta rap off of… Jay Regal, lol wit tha “chair” that he had “ta grab fa” all tha “money;” good shit. My Rating: 3.7

06. “R-N-U” Feat. M.A.

>>> Good beginning from M.A.; keep it goin’… Oh, a hook; sounds good. Lol @ tha “university” part; sounds like a catchy part for such a random word, lol! Not bad wit your part on tha 1^st verse, Pada; M.A. has a slightly-betta verse on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through by ownin’ tha track. My Rating: 3.9

07. “Tell It How It Is” Feat. Ty

Bonus track @ #07? >>> I don’t really like hearin’ tha word “real” quite a lot, in a song, so this iz more on tha below-average/okay side for me… Tha rhymes are okay; guess features make tha songs better? My Rating: 3.1

08. “Clutchin’” Feat. Ty, Dino & Dogan

>>> Young Jack doin’ production, here; sounds like a hot beat. Tha hook sounds pretty tight; guess original production helps? Ooh, “Aimin’ at yo neck, tryna rip away ya vocal box;” gettin’ rid of dat ‘Me-Luv-Dick Tune’! I like how this iz on a gangsta tip; seems quite like a mission, too, wit tha music. Tha 3^rd verse sounds like it could be tha best fa me; lol @ tha “urinal” part. One of my group assignments iz based on a urinal, for class, lol; really lookin’ forward ta filmin’ new things! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit some gangsta shit; damn @ this over-five-minute length… My Rating: 4.0

½time: A 3.7-rated CD; just like other Jungle Records CDs, this iz decent, too.

09. “My Jost Was Hard (Skit)”

>>> Likin’ that it’s a skit… Oh, maybe it should’ve been called a freestyle? I don’t know what a “jost” iz but it sounds good in these rhymes… My Rating: 4.1

10. “Blessed Child (Problems)” Feat. Ty & Lil’ Faron

Not really my kinda title… >>> I dunno why, but this beat start sounds really hot, whateva it iz; good pick! Tha 1^st verse sounds kinda typical, wit tha whole money, money, money shit… Tha hook’s okay, too; thought it would be a lil’ more catchier, wit betta lyrics, on a beat sound like dis… Tha 2^nd verse iz a lil’ betta; nothin’ really ta comment about it… A lil’ betta wit tha 3^rd verse, too; sounds like they’re reppin’ nicely fa tha team. Actually, hearin’ tha hook again, and it’s soundin’ like a great hook; pretty catchy on this beat! My Rating: 4.1

11. “Game Fukked Up”

Finally, a solo song? >>> Beginning sounds good; rhymes sound good on this beat, too. My Rating: 3.8

12. “Toat That Iron” Feat. Blacc

Bonus? >>> What’s wit tha jacked beat? Yuck… Likin’ that Blacc dude; hope he raps on some original-produced music… Can’t really comment on you, here, ‘cause tha beat’s jacked, which my interest’s really at 0. I’m only commentin’ on Blacc ‘cause this tha 1^st time I’m hearin’ him; glad he got some gangsta shit on here! My Rating: 3.3

13. “Dope Rental” Feat. Lil’ Faron

>>> I like this title and how this sounds, for what it iz… Oh no, all this money-related shit on tha 1^st verse; time ta skim through tha song! Tha feature’s okay, here, but doesn’t really do anything wit my interest… My Rating: 3.0

14. “Small Circle” Feat. Lil’ Faron

>>> Sounds like somethin’ I can usually hear about how people are assholes, and that you only mess wit a few; nothin’ new. My Rating: 2.7

15. “All Black Everything” Feat. Dude Blitz & Bear

Kinda bleh wit tha title… >>> Yea, anotha one that sounds like nothin’ new… A lil’ more excitin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, as far as, basically, tha flow… Tha 3^rd verse’s a lil’ betta, but tha content’s still boring. My Rating: 2.9

16. “Nikki”
>>> Ehh, nothin’ that great; not really into family-member songs, especially in rap music, especially in underground music! My Rating: 2.3

17. “Steppin’ (Clean)” Feat. Uptown Redd

See #3 fa tha review!

Overall: Okay, but tha 2^nd ½ was more below-average for me.
