Review #1,143: Level "Club Banga King (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 3.30.2012 (Review #1,143)


This next review iz for Easy Hustle Entertainment’s Level Club Banga King. Start Time: 8:36 PM | End Time: 9:11 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 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
>>> Good mixin’ for tha intro wit all these songs of yours, even though most of ‘em are novelties of my faggy, acceptin’ everyone dayz that I highly regret!!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Dat’s How I Do It”
>>> Oh, Amy Schumer, I love you! Hook not really for me, but it sounds catchy… Tha good thing about you iz at least your album/mixtape title’s on-topic; gotta hold it down fa tha clubz 24/7!! My Rating: 3.8


03. “Hit Dat (Remix)” Feat. Hurricane Chris & Kevin Gates
>>> Decent start; almost seems like a Hurricane Chris song featuring… Decent/nothin’ too special from you, but Hurricane sounds pretty tight wit his energy! Lol @ him and his “OD”in’! Gates on tha 3rd verse, and it’s a lil’ betta than Hurricane’s verse; gotta feel his character and consistent rhymes! Glad he rockin’ “Girbauds!” My Rating: 4.2


04. “Niggaz Ain’t Shit” Feat. Mr. Magic & J-Spitta
>>> Izn’t this tha opposite, statistically? That’s what I’ve been hearin’… As far as your 1st verse, it’s aight; sounds good when you’re on production like this… Mr. Magic has a lot more energy, and I’m really feelin’ how he’s comin’ through on this “shit!” Why iz Spitta’s name now “J-Spitta”? Weird, but it sounds good; prolly would’ve paid attention betta if he would just send me CDs in tha mail, instead of bein’ a sending virgin! Time ta get on ya grind!!! My Rating: 4.1


05. “Dem Jiggaz Do Me” Feat. Big Rich
>>> Okay, this sounds a lil’ catchier wit tha hook… Tha 1st verse iz Big Rich, and he sounds good wit how he raps wit this voice; hope he can keep this shit up… As far as what you got goin’ on, here, it’s not bad; typical Level at its finest… Lol, I love—as I’m lookin’ at a Mica pic—when tha “do me, do me, do me” repeats, lol! My Rating: 4.3


06. “Throw Yo Shoulders Back” Feat. Skip
>>> Ooh, a Mod Productions beat, which sounds like it could fit for you, in a way… You’re on tha 1st verse, and it’s good; nothin’ much else ta say… Lol @ Skip’s character on tha 2nd verse; gotta feel it!! You’re on tha 3rd verse, and lol @ all your “too much” shit goin’ on; can’t deny how much iz goin’ on, lol! My Rating: 4.1


07. “Level Rock”
Looks like a weird title… >>> Yea, it’s a dancin’ song; nothin’ too special fa me ta hear, except fa when you make references ta drugs. My Rating: 3.7


08. “Be Mine” Feat. April Reign
I thought she was “Reign” and not “Rain”? Guess it’s a spelling error on here… >>> Not really a good start, hence that I’m seein’ Mica on my screen! Was off to a really weird and unanticipatin’ start ‘til I heard how April’s singin’ on tha hook; nice job! I would usually criticize, but this sounds like an actual album (‘cause of no mixin’)—then again, there was that “Blu Boy” tag on tha intro… This iz more of an album track, and I think it fits here. Still, kinda soft fa you, Level? I’m gonna give this a plus, though. My Rating: 3.9


09. “Gangstars Paradise” Feat. Dat Boy A & Box
>>> Ooh, “Gangsta’s Paradise” on tha sample… EQ doin’ tha beat, here, and it sounds like this could have potential of bein’ somethin’ big… Ooh, some bounce sample sounds @ :49! Sounds good, Level; nice job wit tha 1st verse! Okay, just a “Gangsta’s Paradise” sample on tha hook; acceptable, since I like it! Here’s “Adrian” on tha 2nd verse (Mr. A), lol; glad he’s rappin’ and it’s some good street shit! Thumbs up fa tha sellin’ of “rocks,” A! Got Box on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit some tight, gangsta-soundin’ shit that I’m feelin’! Glad he a part of tha “Gangstars Paradise”! My Rating: 4.7


½time: You doin’ ya thang once again, Level! A 4.1-rated CD, currently; keep it up!


10. “Real Life”
>>> Startin’ off wit an EQ beat tag… Sounds like it could be a jail anthem, but that voice on tha hook almost turns me off… I don’t get it; how do you mix “real” and a “real” hook wit near-soundin’ A-tune vocals? Lol @ you bein’ “George of tha jungle;” more like, “[Brandon] of tha jungle”? Gotta be a Brandon reprasenta, lol, you know? Lol @ tha “knock him out his Polo;” catchy shit, Level! Glad you holdin’ this shit down on all tha verses, Level! Ooh, an outro from “Lil’ Ree” (sp?); glad you got extra people appearin’ outta nowhere! My Rating: 4.2


11. “Before I Die” Feat. Locco & Mookie Blakk
Looks like an interestin’ collab; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ a return of Mook! >>> A lil’ bit of a near-soundin’ trunk rattle from Locco on tha intro, lol. Okay, this sounds more like a Bad Azz Entertainment joint wit tha Locco hook; not too bad, overall… Lol, a nice-and-focused Level on tha 1st verse; nice job… Okay, Mookie’s on tha 2nd verse, and he still sounds catchy, here, wit his interestin’, Southern flow; nice job, and keep it goin’, Mook! Also, a lil’ bit of semi-singin’ from Mookie before tha 3rd hook! My Rating: 4.0


12. “She Got Me” Feat. Mouse On Tha Track
>>> “A walking nipple slip!!!” Sounds like an okay song, too; nothin’ much goin’ on wit this hook, so lemme see tha verses… Okay, typical-soundin’ Level music on tha 1st verse. We got Mouse on tha 2nd verse, and lol @ these lovely “titties” he’s rappin’ about! Nice appearance, Mouse; “that [iz you]!!!” My Rating: 4.2


13. “Do It Large” Feat. Young Ready & Savage
This should be an interestin’ collab… >>> Mmm… “and her ass later!” Feelin’ tha hook, here; can’t deny how you come through, Level!! Ready sounds kinda cocky, here; guess ‘cause he’s around everyone here, includin’ someone on this track that’s makin’ me distracted, to where I keep quotin’ Shume, lol! Sounds like a young Savage, here, or maybe older? Likin’ how Sav’s comin’ through wit his energetic-type of shit, when he’s usually laidback! My Rating: 4.4


14. “King In Da Ring”
>>> An intro that adds to tha title; I like it… Ooh, mixin’ some sex shit wit this title, too; nice combo! Also, I like how you be soundin’ when you say tha title, durin’ tha 2nd ½ of tha hook! Level, what would happen if you wound up bein’ a virgin? Did you lose your virginity at 9 or somethin’? Good shit, overall, since tha catchiness continues! My Rating: 4.3


15. “I Love Money” Feat. Q-Red
>>> OMG, Havana Brown’s such a hottie!!! She’s, like, tha Australian, club banga queen, Level!!! Tha content goes wit my distracted quote, lol; good thinkin’, Level, despite tha title! Not really my title, but I like your energy, here; lol @ tha “raccoon” part! Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, either; sounds like a bunch of references… Tha 3rd ver—oh wait, Meital? “Tasty and yummy;” love that song!!! Meital Dohan!!! I’m glad her greatness can distract me from things I don’t wanna talk about! Saved tha day, Meital! ;) My Rating: 4.3


16. “Wassam Wit Dat” Feat. Big Poppa
>>> This sounds catchy, too; glad you holdin’ down tha catchy club songs, Level! Big Poppa’s catchy on this, too; really hypnotized, lol? Of course, Level’s keepin’ this catchy shit goin’; can’t deny it, especially wit all tha “dat ass, dat ass” parts! My Rating: 4.4


17. “Dumbshit Again” Feat. Beezy Bird
>>> Mmm, Neon Hitch said, “She can love you good, but I can fuck you betta;” nice to take my attention away! I hear Beezy Bird goin’, “bow, bow,” in tha background… Okay, what’s up wit tha gay-ass hook? Not only does it sound like a dick in your mouth, but you’re counting? :confused My Rating: 2.6


18. “Everyday”
>>> Neon Hitch! She wants your “ass back home,” lol! Gotta luv her!! Ironic dat you’re referencin’ people like “Mista;” when you gon be referencin’ me? Also, I told you to rap about autism/Asperger’s, my condition! You can make a club banga outta dat topic; don’t be afraid, Level! You betta know what that iz, too!!! As far as this song, it’s good; your “everyday” topic seems to be catchin’ on… My Rating: 4.1


19. “Dumb Dick (Remix)” Feat. Mystikal, Mouse On Tha Track & Mz. Trill
This again? :confused No Mz. Trill on tha ID? Whoever uploaded this onto DatPiff must have no respect for people!! Not much of a novelty, but it’s nothin’ huge, anyway… My Current Rating: 4.5


Overall: Good CD, Level; even though you’re more of a novelty for me, now (since your consistency of keepin’ up wit me iz weak, especially when I tried gettin’ you to make me upload older CDs to DatPiff), I still give this CD credit. Hopefully, you get to do some business wit me sooner or later! All that money you got can’t be makin’ you a money virgin, now! We’ve known each other fa about three years; we been coulda had a bunch of music videos made by now! Time ta do some travelin’, Level; come see me for buku services!!!
