Review #1,166: Klippa Raw "Every Dollar Counts"

Reviewed on 7.31.2012 (Review #1,166)


Tryin’ to get some work done, here; lemme start wit a Top Of The Line Entertainment review: Klippa Raw Every Dollar Counts! Start Time: 2:16 PM | End Time: 2:52 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 #1,166) reviewed on 7.31.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Klippa Raw Freestyle”
How will it sound, especially startin’ wit a freestyle? >>> Great for a freestyle; thought tha beat would be boring and a noticeable, jacked beat! Thumbs up fa holdin’ it down fa tha south! My Rating: 4.3


02. Intro
So, a lil’ taste previously, since tha intro’s #2? >>> Okay, this beat sounds more like what I would’ve expected wit tha freestyle; good thing it’s just an intro ‘cause you sound great wit your talkin’, hence tha beat! Nice job wit this intro, Mr. Klippa! Lookin’ forward ta err-thang! My Rating: N/A


03. “You Can’t Tell Me I Ain’t On”
>>> Sounds catchy; a lot of money rhymes, but this iz good ta enjoy. My Rating: 4.4


04. “I Do My Own Thang”
>>> Sounds simple, but catchy; I like how you be reppin’ BR hard wit your presentations on tha tracks! My Rating: 4.2


05. “Ciroc In My Cup”
>>> Bad voice start; just gonna skim through this! :td My Rating: 1.6


06. “Beligerent”
>>> Another word for “duffy,” here; another good club banga… Rhymes are kinda ehh, but at least it ain’t like tha previous song! My Rating: 3.9


07. “One Up In The Head”
>>> Feelin’ tha street vibe, here; I can see value in you, especially since you be fuckin’ wit Ready, Zion City Juice, and more! Rhymes aren’t anything new in tha verses, but at least it’s a vibe I can feel. My Rating: 4.0


08. “All I Wanna Do”
>>> Boring “money” topic again, but tha hook goes off wit holdin’ tha notes! :tu Hope we can do serious business soon, since I be hearin’ ‘bout all this “money!” My Rating: 4.3


09. “Pass By You Niggas”
>>> No interest in tha lyrics, unfortunately; heard ‘em enough from tha other songs… Not too much interest wit this song for me; I just like tha “show my ass on you niggas” part, since you be doin’ ya thang wit dat. My Rating: 3.2


10. “Racks”
Ahh… >>> A lil’ too obsessed; I think this iz too much. As far as tha song, it’s kinda like dat bullshit, 2010s generation-type shit that’s out these dayz… My Rating: 2.7


½time: More of an album than a mixtape? Nothin’ blends in, since all tha endings are regular endings that don’t blend into tha next song… Anyway, 3.6 for tha CD rating, currently.


11. “You Ain’t Fucking Wit It”
>>> Thought I was expectin’ a pop-rap song wit tha sample in tha background, but this iz one of tha best ones on here? At least your flow’s different, wit tha fastness! See, now, you have a lot ta say, here! My Rating: 4.5


12. “Show You How I’m Living”
>>> Beat sounds like a jacked turn-off… No interest, once again! My Rating: 2.3


13. “Put A Hole In Ya”
>>> Beginning sounds much betta wit this beat; hope you can handle it! Content sounds like everyone else (e.g., with people, drunk, and can easily do things), but I’ll deal wit this… Okay, beat’s startin’ ta sound online-ish; ugh, this iz slowly gettin’ worse for me. Really, I’ve had enough of some of these boring, repetitive lyrics… My Rating: 3.3


14. “Really In The Building” Feat. Merkin’ Marcus
>>> Feature? Who iz it? Not listed, smh… Turned off by not knowin’ who it iz (EDIT: Did they say, “Murder Marcus”?) but not bad wit their verse… Tha rest of this ain’t all that, but at least I can picture tha dark streets by listenin’ to this. Hearin’ tha endin’ and I heard you say, “Merkin’ Marcus;” I’ll put that in tha feature. Iz that tha Marcus Lane dude in your FB friends? My Rating: 3.5


15. “Baton Rouge Nigga”
>>> I really like tha hook, here, wit this so-so beat! Great BR street rhymes, but some sound off-beat… My Rating: 4.4


16. Intro To Bonus Tracks
Let’s see what this gon be like… >>> Bonus tracks from “’08?” Always keepin’ tha Nu$$ie-Alive times alive, in 2K12, lol! My Rating: N/A


17. “Walk Down On Ya” Feat. Zion City Juice
I assume Juice iz on tha feature, here, even though it ain’t listed. >>> Quiet volume? You ain’t turn it up? :( Anyway, this sounds pretty gutta; I like dat “I walk down on ya pussy-azz!” Good collaboration wit Juice, here! Notice how this song ain’t “money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money,” right? Oh, tha good ’08 dayz!! My Rating: 4.6


18. “Nigga Like Me” Feat. Zion City Juice
>>> Features from tha intro? Ugh, why can’t they be listed? Anyway, now, tha volume sounds too loud, but this iz pretty-good for a song… I like that “Klippa, Klippa, Klippa, where ya been” part! My Rating: 4.2


19. “Let Me Ball”
>>> Sounds like you’ve been in bed wit a bunch of “bitches,” here? Wonder what that’s like, especially on a brave tip, to be wit a shitload of “bitches”? This sounds jammin’ wit tha beat, and what you’re deliverin’ ain’t too bad… This must be a lil’ ahead of ’08 ‘cause I hear you talkin’ about “cash,” here and there? My Rating: 3.8


20. “Ain’t Too Many” Feat. Zion City Juice
>>> Beginning lists Zion City Juice & La’Keith a part of this (La’Keith produced?)? Well, at least tha beat has that BR vibe to it; good street content, too. Feelin’ tha collaboration, here; y’all really holdin’ it down wit La’Keith’s supply! Damn, what happened to tha 3rd verse? A fill-in-tha-blank? :confused My Rating: 4.4


21. “Stay Thug” Feat. Zion City Juice
>>> Anticipatin’ beginning, since you said “La’Keith” iz “on tha track!” See, that’s all you need; no need for a dumb-ass beat tag, which I noticed there were none on this mixtape! It’s almost like jumpin’ into a refreshin’ Jacuzzi when I know there’s a 2012 CD/mixtape wit no beat tags! :tu Anyway, feelin’ tha rhymes; this combination of you, Juice & La’Keith iz one of tha great ways ta have a BR vibe and feel it! Good collaboration, once again, but what’s wit tha fill-in-tha-blank on tha 3rd verse, again? Somebody fuck wit your head or somethin’, Klip? Like, were you ‘pose to get a verse from someone, and because you didn’t, you didn’t release this (and tha previous) song (randomly issuing it somewhere)? My Rating: 4.4


Overall: A lil’ bit of a mixed review for me, but overall, those bonus tracks helped! Good job, I must say; get a lil’ better wit tha diversity, at times, and stay on ya grind! Hope to do a radio interview wit you either tonight or tomorrow!
