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 Feat. T Mck / “Time 2 Rock”
>>>
I have to admit, I’m glad y’all are only down ta “four;” no need to have a
person in your crew that blocks someone like me from FB, smh! As far as how
this sounds, beat’s kinda dry, and it jams in an okay/growin’ way. Cage, how
catchy he raps, as always!! Keep up tha great
work!! My Rating: 4.2
02.
“Bouncing Thru”
I
remember airin’ this on my radio show a while ago. Tha first two seconds makes
me lol; love tha instant vibe it brings and then, tha tight hook! Great job wit
tha production and who can’t stop “bouncing,” lol? I know I got this CD over
three months ago, but I could see this bein’ a playlist song fa me. My Current Rating: 4.5
03.
“I’on Fuck Wit U”
>>>
Great attitude here; hook explains it all, when it comes to tha great attitude,
here! Rhymes flow great over this slightly-faster-than-usual beat! Gotta love
Cage—HAPPY BIRTHDAY, by tha way, lol!! My
Rating: 4.3
04.
“Shine On”
>>>
I love tha faster vibes; beats keep gettin’ better, too!! Gotta luv tha sound
effects!! Ooh, cool hook; it’s all about singin’, and it works really good,
here! Thumbs up to all y’all rappin’ great, here; just thinkin’ ‘bout tha back
cover, I picture this song bein’ good in gym class! My Rating: 4.7
05.
“Erotic”
>>>
Slowin’ it down, a lil’; let’s see what we got here… Liquor in her body =
activation to have sex wit y’all? Still can’t picture it, since I’ve barely had
any kinda alcohol inside of me, currently (easily prefer dat green ova dat
drank). Lyrics sound good, here; y’all goin’ a lil’ more than what a typical
person would say about drinkin’ and havin’ sex. My Rating: 3.8
06.
“Power Up”
I
think I remember this one, too, but need to hear it again. >>> Beat
sounds like nothing’s really goin’ on; feelin’ tha Cage flow a lot better… Cool
topic, but for a song, I know y’all could do better; more words in tha hook?
Beat gets a lil’ betta on tha hook, though… My Rating: 3.9
07.
“Call Da Ppl”
>>>
A vocal sample in a Down Bad song? Please, no! Everybody does dat shit, and
it’s annoying as fuck! Hook aight, as well as verses, but nothin’ special for
me. My Rating: 3.2
08.
“Traitors”
>>>
Sounds like a funny beginning wit tha “ridin’ too much dick;” beat sounds a
lil’ better than tha previous one, too. Glad Terror’s holdin’ this one down!
Really lovin’ tha flow on tha 2nd verse, too; Cage or Jack, they
both do a great job!! Must’ve been
Jack ‘cause Mr. Hilarious, a.k.a. Cage, iz on tha 3rd verse!! L-to
tha-U-fuckin’-V tha flow!!! Ooh, JR Dot even spittin’ some rapidfire, too!!
Such great verses; err-body did such a great job, here!!! My Rating: 4.5
09.
“Believe Dat”
>>>
Cool beat start; y’all foolz wit dat SFX! Seems like JR gon take ova this
joint; nice job holdin’ down tha beginning, so far! I luv how there’s a 50/50 chance I’ll hear Cage… or Jack; can easily get an A+ flow from each track!!!
Interestin’ rhymes from Terror, too! “Sellin’ rocks;” that’s in your history,
Terror, at only age 26? Cool, for your bravery; wonder what triggered tha
motive to push “rocks”? My Rating: 4.4
½time: Feelin’ tha new album so
far, guys; it makes y’all sound fresher than when Soo—you know who, was around.
Anyway, a 4.2-rated
CD, currently!!
10.
“Addy Daddy”
>>>
A lil’ catchy, includin’ tha beat; I know others may think this sounds
annoying, but I can jam to it. Great job wit tha verses, once again; sounds
like Jack can shine wit his aura all ova dat 2nd verse wit his
flow!! Ruff, ruff, Terror; how ruff, ruff of you, lol! Feelin’ tha regular-soundin’
verse, Terror… My Rating: 4.3
11.
“Ack’n Like A Heaux” Feat. Tha Kidd AJC
Ooh,
finally, a feature; lemme hear! >>> Whoo @ tha beat start; lovin’ it!!
Sounds like some undaground shit wit a ton of firework sound effects (what I
mean by dat iz there’s power in tha beat)! Great collaboration goin’ on, here;
y’all know how ta handle tha beat in a great
way, especially wit tha flow!! Terror sounds like he fulla a lot, includin’
such a mean mug on his face!! Kickin’ ass wit dis shit, right chea!! My Rating: 4.6
12.
“Ridin’ Thru Da City”
Thought
it looked familiar, but it was tha “thru” in tha title that threw me off…
>>> Dry start, so far… Background vocals of tha title’s kinda too
much; verses are aight, but nothin’ much in tha hook. Ehh, an okay song… Give
it up for Cage, though, for savin’ this near tha end! My Rating: 3.1
13.
“Hit Da Hwy”
>>>
Nice and jammin’, here; feel like you’re goin’ real fast on tha highway, or on
a bumpy road, lol! Real tight hook wit dat catchy flow!! Nice job wit tha
verses, too! Lol, Terror hittin’ tha dancefloor? His fastness sounds a lil’
lolish! My Rating: 4.6
14.
“Numbers”
What
to expect wit dis? >>> Sounds like a catchy beginning; not bad, so
far… I can relate to this song, in a way; I used to have hundreds of Louisiana “numbers,”
back, like, two years ago. Now, I’m fine wit tha 200 – 250 I have. Good lyrics
fa a song like this, when it comes ta callin’ all these girls; me, it’s been
strictly ‘bout business, even though a lot of people are afraid of money, for
some reason, so I dunno about how good tha business I try to do iz… Of course,
Jack iz gonna talk about multiple females, here… My Rating: 4.1
15.
“No Regrets”
>>>
Speakin’ of tha previous song, tha intro to this song kinda has one of my
thoughts in it, too. Even though y’all have “no regrets,” I have tons of regrets of a bunch of faggy Louisiana people I
talked to, mainly after Nu$$ie died. I mean, why did I do things for free?
:confused That gets a “no homo!”
Anyway, great hook; fast deliveries goin’ on, and I’m still really enjoyin’
these fast vibes!! My Rating: 4.4
16.
“Pu$$y Off Game”
Jack
must be meltin’ inside of this joint; lemme hear… >>> Real nice
production goin’ on, here; sounds nice and muddy, sticky, and underground! Oh,
I recognize tha hook; might’ve played this on tha air, too? Either way, catchy
rhymes and flows goin’ on, here; y’all keepin’ tha jamz up!! My Current Rating: 4.4
17.
“Woah Nah”
>>>
This might be familiar, too, prolly through a previous review I did a while
ago… I remember tha bounce vibe, and ya gotta luv it!!! No way do you wanna
“slow it down;” gotta keep tha fastness up!! My Current Rating: 4.6
18.
“Close My Eyes”
Not
tha type of Down Bad title I’d expect, so let’s see how it gon end…
>>> Nothin’ really goin’ on wit tha beat, too much, but this iz okay
for what it iz… Not much to say about tha verses, either; ehh, prolly should’ve
expected this for a title like this and title. My Rating: 3.0
Overall: Just realized tha
production credits were near tha bottom:
Songs #1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9,
13, 14, 15, 16 & 17: Produced by Cage
Songs #2, 6, 10, 11 &
12:
Produced by Mike Sneezzy
Song #8: Produced by La’Keith
Song #18: Produced by Retawedville
Anyway,
this wasn’t too bad for a Down Bad CD; gotta finally get some future songs onto
my playlist ASAP! Keep up tha good work, guys; always showin’ y’all luv! Sad to
say dat I’m graduatin’ from my current college wit my Master’s in only 23 dayz!
It’s real great to graduate, but sad, in a way, ‘cause I always played a bunch
of y’all songs there; I will always remember those first two semesters…
