Review #1,164: AWEtheNIQ "Crawfish Boil"

Reviewed on 7.12.2012 (Review #1,164)


Gonna get a review or two over with, now that I have a moment. Tonight, it’s AWEtheNIQ (pronounced “authentic”) with Crawfish Boil. With S.O.A.R. (School of Artists Records), let’s see what’s up. Also, I assume every song on here iz 2011 and older ‘cause each rip date iz April, 2011? Start Time: 9:07 PM | End Time: 9:31 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 #1,164) reviewed on 7.12.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Sicily Boats”
Interesting title. >>> Good intro, real oldies style. Switched up to an East Coast vibe…; good rhymes. Really not into samples on tha hooks, but this’ll slide, just a little… My Rating: 3.4


02. “Anna’s Babies”
Interesting that you use letters to determine tha track numbers; that’s a first. I remember this song; good appearance, 2010 style! My Current Rating: 4.4


03. “Ah Dea”
Interesting spelling of tha words in this title. >>> Not really into sampled music, too much (sounds like “All My Life” (K-Ci & JoJo). For some reason, I’m startin’ to like this a lil’ more, once tha beat starts kickin’ in… Lyrics are kinda good, wit tha flow, but I can’t tolerate tha “stacks on deck.” Then again, at least you’re not a “money virgin” with me, so you can talk about money. Either way, I still think it’s a played-out topic… My Rating: 3.8


04. “Diamonds & Rubies” Feat. The School Of Artists: Azo The Wiz & Sun7ife
>>> Nothing standing out in tha beat or rhymes, here, for a song. Tha only thing that’s catchin’ my attention iz tha hook, with literally, tha “diamonds & rubies.” My Rating: 3.3


05. “Drinks On Me” Feat. Chris Jones & The School Of Artists: Azo The Wiz & Sun7life
Not my kinda title… >>> Nothing special for me, but not terrible. My Rating: 2.9


06. “Zydeco”
A lil’ above decent on a 2nd listen, months and months later. I still was like a faggot tha 1st time I heard this song, only months away from growin’ up! My Current Rating: 3.7


07. “Country Music”
? >>> Didn’t really understand tha first 16 seconds… Ehh, with tha title comin’ into play, this ain’t really up to par with me. Music sounds a lil’ better than some of tha jointz on here, though. My Rating: 3.2


08. “Theme Song” Feat. Azo The Wiz & Venisha Butler
I appreciate you doin’ business wit me wit this song, but this iz far from anything for me. When can we say, “R.I.P. Auto-Tune”? Thank God I gon have my own Top 2,000 Songs of 2000s decade-end countdown, soon, before Hip-Hop got ruined! My Current Rating: 1.4


½time: A lil’ below average, but not too much; 3.3 for tha CD rating, currently.


09. “Acquired Taste” Feat. Sun7ife, JG & Chris Jones
Can’t read tha 2nd artist on tha feature (had to look online)… >>> Not exciting music, but I like that title and how tha title iz applied to tha hook. Thumbs up for tha features, at least. My Rating: 3.6


10. “Check”
>>> Why does this sound like jacked-beat music? Almost wanna skip this; anyone can make this shit. Tha hook sounds a lil’ (very lil’) catchy wit that “check”list. My Rating: 2.5


11. “Blk Ivry” Feat. Sun7ife
Another hard-to-read title… >>> More below-average music for me… Tha hook sounds really good wit tha title repeating, but tha sample just ruined it for me! My Rating: 3.4


12. “ManMade” Feat. Sun7ife
>>> Another good intro fulla old music… This music’s slightly better than tha other shit on here, and tha rhymes are pretty good, too. Tha hook also sounds good; it’s like how I like tha previous one, only without a gay sample in tha background. My Rating: 3.8


13. “Flashout”
A really slow vybe, here, but it’s pretty tight wit your flow and rhymes. My Current Rating: 4.3


14. “Mic Myers”
>>> Really good beat start (best one?), so far, despite a name as tha title… Nice job wit tha consistent rhymes; hook iz nice, too! My Rating: 4.0


15. “Fork” Feat. Azo The Wiz
Nice and concrete for tha title. >>> I don’t hear anything that stands out, so far… All that “pussy” and “hoes” shit in tha 1st verse sounds like tha typical rap that I hear from every rapper, so it’s nothing to comment on; not horrible, but nothing special, either. My Rating: 3.0


16. “Problems Pt. 2” Feat. The School Of Artists: Azo The Wiz & Sun7ife
Why was this left off tha back cover? >>> Beat’s okay, but qualifies for some good hip-hop… Tha rhymes and tha hook’s pretty catchy; good job, overall. My Rating: 3.9


Overall: Just about decent; I’ll give it that. I had no intentions of reviewin’ this for a while, but I needed new music and a possible interview for this week’s radio show (already in two dayz, smh—never get a break). So, I’ll be sure to be hittin’ u up tomorrow (Friday, tha 13th). You’ve been a two-hit wonder on tha phone wit me, so if you don’t answer, I just move on to someone else ‘cause I can’t afford to cancel another show (had a no-show last Saturday; pretty disappointing, and just makes me wanna quit my show ASAP—doin’ that August 17, 2012).
