Review #1,146: Foxx "Don't Work, Don't Eat"

Reviewed on 4.05.2012 (Review #1,146)


Got anotha review fa today! Might be my last one for today ‘cause I need to take a nap; I’m helping one of my classmates wit a senior project film, and am prolly gon be out ‘til about 1 or 2 AM. But, Milliyone Musik in tha buildin’ wit this one: Foxx Don’t Work, Don’t Eat! Shout out ta TruncMuzik fa tellin’ Foxx about me; glad you know who I am, Foxx!! Start Time: 2:10 PM | End Time: 2:58 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!

© 2012 CD Review (Review #1,146) reviewed on 4.05.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Thank You”
>>> Could be a funny beat start, but I have to say, it sounds catchy wit you rappin’ wit these consistent rhymes! “Could’ve been ___;” glad you’ve had many positives, so far! My Rating: 4.2


02. “My Girl-Girl” Feat. K.T.
>>> I like how tha beat sounds like it’s slowly increases throughout tha 1st verse to tha hook; interestin’ song, includin’ how it sounds like K.T. on tha singin’ hook… My Rating: 3.9


03. “Rich Nigga”
>>> A lil’ on tha soul tip for a start… Now that you’re spittin’, it sounds like it’s ‘bout ta get in tha day of a life of a gangsta, lol. Tha hook sounds pretty serious wit how you’re comin’ through wit this life content, lol; good job, Foxx! My Rating: 3.7


04. “Look At Me Now”
>>> Sounds decent; nice graduation from droppin’ out ta people knowin’ you! Lots of negative feedback from adults? I got most of my negative feedback from people my age/one year older than me, due to I was always different wit my autism/Asperger’s disability. My Rating: 3.7


05. “Need Me”
>>> Beat’s nothin’ special, here; rhymes are good, but for a song, it’s just makin’ tha decent mark, overall. My Rating: 3.4


06. “Pussy” Feat. Savage
>>> Savage on tha hook? Sounds like him on tha production; gotta list him on tha feature!! Glad he pulled through wit an interview for me tha weekend of his birthday, earlier this year! :tu Thought I would have low interest in this song, but it sounds like Savage’s makin’ this real interestin’… Your rhymes are not bad; they fit good fa this topic. Lol, gotta keep gettin’ your ‘sex points’ up, Foxx, lol (‘sex points’ are how many times you have had sex, lol)! My Rating: 4.2


07. “What About Me” Feat. K.T.
>>> A lil’ more on tha boring side, fa me, wit tha beat, but it ain’t that bad… K.T. singin’ on tha hook ain’t too bad, either; it’s acceptable… My Rating: 3.2


08. “Yo Dog”
>>> What tha hell was that in tha first few seconds? :confused Sounded like it didn’t make sense wit how it went into tha song… But, as far as this song, it’s soundin’ pretty nice; you exposin’ those worth less than 0! I like tha “zombie” part; good shit, Foxx. Tha length of 2:31 iz nice and fittin’, too. My Rating: 4.1


09. “Robbery”
>>> Beat’s a lil’ nice and calm, wit a regular pace; tha rhymes are interestin’, but tha storytellin’ of a “robbery” makes this even more interestin’! Interestin’ that there’s, like, no hook, here; nice job, Foxx! My Rating: 4.0


10. “Ratted”
>>> I thought tha beat sounded a lil’ soft fa a topic like this, but it’s soundin’ pretty tight, blendin’ wit your attitude to them bitch-asses! Even comin’ through wit a lil’ singin’, too? I’m feelin’ this, lol! My Rating: 4.3


11. “Tired Of Lying” Feat. K.T.
Smh @ tha uploader not knowin’ how ta spell “lying” (spelled as “lieing”)? :confused >>> A decent song, so far; “neva hit tha blunt again”? I don’t think you’re gonna get cancer, Foxx; keep puffin’, but if you gon think like dat, puff wit good-things-come-to-those-who-wait anticipation (wait months, 363 dayz, etc.)! Either way, your rhymes seem to keep tha interest goin’ wit this… My Rating: 3.8


½time: Seems to be above-average, so far; a 3.9-rated CD, currently…


12. “Goin’ Thru It”
At least they know how ta spell “through”/“thru”, in this title! >>> Oh no, a beat tag in tha beginning (Lil’ Cal); ehh, random, but at least it’s original production! Good rhymes; your voice and attitude makes this sound great! “Gave him my driver’s license”? Sounds a lil’ like Doom’s Day, Foxx! Ooh, tha hook sounds pretty catchy; you got anotha hit on ya hands, Foxx!! My Rating: 4.3


13. “Rappers”
>>> I like your intro; hopefully, we get ta meet and talk soon! You know I’m tha opposite of all this “pussy” shit you’re addressin’, ya feel me? I know I’ll be tha topic of a song of yours one day… years from now, I assume? “Fuck downloadin’ they music; let’s delete these niggaz;” great attitude, Foxx!! Tha hook’s got a real message, here! You may witness tha “shows” perspective, but I witness tha ‘growin’ up’ perspective wit people. People seemed all okay wit me, ‘til I told them that my services go for $5 - $50, for most things. Then, tha “pussy” side of them came out; they started blockin’ me; they stopped contactin’ me; they keep thinkin’ I’m 20 & 21 years-old, smh! My Rating: 4.2


14. “I Live, I Learn” Feat. K.T.
>>> Really feelin’ this hypnotizin’ beat start!! K.T. on tha hook? What’s up wit tha no feature listed on tha filename? :confused I’m likin’ this one, too; really nice, slow vibe, here. This vibe reminds me of a smoke anth—oh, I hear you gettin’ fulla dat shit in tha 1st verse, Foxx; time ta do a 900 in tha air, lol! Or betta yet, in a “high” perspective,” do a 900 on tha ground, lol! A 1080!! “Shout out ta tha weed man;” thumbs up fa that reference, Foxx! Really holdin’ this down wit K.T.; great collaboration! My Rating: 4.3


15. “Club Scene” Feat. $hizz & Dog
Interestin’ that you collaboratin’ wit Shizz, here; he’s younger than me, so it’s pretty interestin’ that you discovered him (or vice versa). >>> Ah, tha Lil’ Cal beat tag by Foxx, lol! This sounds like a nice beat, includin’ tha hook from $hizz! You sound good on tha 1st verse, too; can’t deny what’s goin’ on, here! Lol, “knock his nose off;” an aggressive Foxx!! Add some yelling!! I like tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, from $hizz; not even 21, still? Comin’ through in a great, 225 way fa you, Foxx! Oh, Dog Da Cutthroata on tha 3rd verse; HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Lol, ironic dat this review fell on his birthday, and that I downloaded this on March 14, 2012, tha five-year anniversary of “Wipe Me Down (Remix)” airing on Music Choice: Rap, which was at 1:07 AM! Good job from Dog, comin’ through wit his “club” feel, too! My Rating: 4.4


16. “Driving Me Crazy” Feat. $hizz
>>> Anotha Lil’ Cal beat; this time, his usual beat tag… This beat sounds really poppy for me, and tha hook’s a lil’ soft, but tha 1st verse’s pretty crazy from you, Foxx! Lol @ $hizz on tha 2nd verse; rehabaholic, lol? Lol, “want [you] like a turtle neck”? Almost sounds like a “turtle” wants a “turtle” when I just heard that, lol! Good, interestin’ job, $hizz! My Rating: 3.9


17. “Fuck Nigga”
>>> Uh oh, an emotional Foxx on tha hook, here, lol!! Really likin’ your singin’; most people fail at it badly, but you easily get a pass at succeedin’ wit tha catchiness!! Rhymes are pretty good, too, comin’ through wit your bad-ass attitude! I feel like it’s “Foxx’s World” (possible name of a future show, project, etc. of yours)! My Rating: 4.3


18. “I Had A Dream”
>>> Beat’s a lil’ on tha soft side, but it picks up… Sounds like some real-life rhymes, here; glad they’re not boring, despite tha beat start! Feelin’ all tha rhymes; can’t deny your gangsta perspective, here; keep tha good dreams comin’, Foxx! You’re makin’ “a dream” come true wit your music to many people, you know dat? My Rating: 3.7


19. “Nothing”
Looks like tha opposite of tha previous title… >>> A regular-soundin’ beat, but your rhymes and content’s better, makin’ this turn into a great song. Ooh, 1:42 on tha length; good job on creatin’ a quick joint. Tha hook sounds like everyone; you know I came “from” one of tha worst socializing childhoods, up until I was 19, when Louisiana helped me communicate and captured me! My Rating: 4.0


20. “Loose Booty”
>>> Sounds like a funny song! I thought that was Young Hustla on tha beat, but it’s Lil’ Austin from Off Tha Meter? You must be all ova Baton Rouge if you know all these people that I thought I was one of tha only ones that knew. If this iz tha case, I hope I produce for you one day, Foxx! Tha hook’s pretty funny, and tha rappin’ sounds not bad, either… My Rating: 4.1


21. “Stuck In Da Hood” Feat. Dog
>>> A “Young” dude on tha beat (“Von”? “Barn”? “Bon”)…; why do we need a beat tag fa a soft-soundin’ beat like this? No need for beat tags on tracks like this! Plus, why’d I hear tha beat tag more than once? :confused When did this beat tag shit start? Anyway, it ain’t that bad of a beat, overall, since it sounds a lil’ on tha fresh side… Tha hook’s a lil’ soft fa a title like this; not that bad, overall… You got a good attitude, here, Foxx, but tha 5:29 length’s a turn-off… Lol @ how Dog sounds on this beat; prolly could’ve rapped on a different beat, and some of these lyrics ain’t really fa me. My Rating: 3.0


22. “3rd Person” Feat. $hizz
>>> Sounds like a jam, in a way… Yea, everything’s you, in tha “3rd person,” lol! Some of tha lyrics are a lil’ mainstreamish for me, but despite that, thumbs up ta “$hizz,” too, fa creatin’ his “3rd person” perspective, too! Damn, Foxx! You’ll “stab [someone] wit a box cutta?” Crazy shit!! My Rating: 4.1


23. “Big Boy”
>>> Oh no, a Wiz Khalifa sample on tha hook; nothin’ but an lol and rofl at that! :rofl Lol @ your lyrics, here; some of them sound funny, includin’ tha random “let her suck on my…” shit, lol! Tha beat’s pretty nice, here; good length (2:36) and props on holdin’ down tha Milliyone click! Hope to hear some new shit from Da No-Mindz soon! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: At first, I thought this was gonna be a jacked-beat CD (‘cause I saw tha “Look At Me Now” title). However, you got a hold of them 225 producers and came through wit anotha solid CD; great job!! Keep up tha great work, Foxx; I got luv fa ya and I’m glad you know about me!
