Review #1,200: Bengie B "Ben Raw, Ben Real"

Reviewed on 9.23.2012 (Review #1,200)



Final review before I’m caught up wit CDs! Then, I got three of my mixtape compilations ta review; here’s Bengie B Ben Raw, Ben Real! Start Time: 11:59 PM | End Time: 12:43 AM


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 #1,200) reviewed on 9.23.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Bengie B Intro”
>>> Beat sounds good fa you ta rap on… Hearin’ what you’re bringin’ to tha table and I have ta say, nice rappin’, non-stop!! Ooh, even a 2nd verse, and thumbs up fa everything y’all do! My Rating: 4.3
EDIT: Mike Nef beat.


02. “Play It Raw” Feat. Louis V Mob
>>> A Drumma Boy beat? Sounds like him on tha beat and it sounds good wit how y’all comin’ through “raw,” here! Tha 1st verse sounds like a nice day wit you; likin’ tha slow flow and how you can “play it raw,” instantly! Hearin’ this Mob on tha 2nd verse, and thumbs up fa comin’ through real southern! I like how this dude says tha N-word; props ta this dude! Ooh, keepin’ it goin’ before tha 3:00 mark! Ooh, a gurl (or a young dude) on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit some fast shit; catchy job from this person! My Rating: 4.4


03. “Ballers Bouncing”
>>> Heard this sample before from Juvenile six years ago; really no need for it again, but it still sounds like a catchy hook wit this beat. Tha 1st verse sounds good wit how you’re comin’ through fa tha “ballers.” I’m hearin’ tha 2nd verse and you keepin’ shit poppin’, once again! Almost sounds like a feature on tha 3rd verse? This sounds a lil’ catchier wit tha extra voice… My Rating: 4.0
EDIT: Roi Chip beat.


04. “I Ben”
>>> “Nef;” iz it that Nef dude that produced? I will consider it iz, and this sounds like a nice beat. Here you are, comin’ “outta nowhere,” doin’ a nice job on tha 1st verse! Sounds like a nice day in your hood—night, I mean, lol. Ooh, tha beat sounds kick-assy wit tha sounds on tha hook!! Nice hook, strictly motivated!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good; not much ta say, as I’m still entertained by this… Tha 3rd verse iz you neva failin’ wit this rap shit. My Rating: 4.3


05. “I Feel”
>>> Why that “C-Roc”ish beat tag? C’mon, beat tags! Hook sounds kinda iffy for me wit this sample… Your rhymes sound good here, though; you’re tryna enjoy a good day. Almost sounds like a different voice on tha 3rd verse; if that’s my intentions playin’ wit me, it’s soundin’ a lil’ betta than I first expected. My Rating: 3.5


06. “Bengie Talking”
Looks like an interlude, but I assume it’s a song, based off tha length? >>> Iz that Meek Mill on tha beginning sample? If so, where were you four years ago? I’m likin’ how you’re comin’ through fa tha “streetz” on this beat, here. Tha 2nd verse sounds real catchy wit all this shit to eat, lol! “Bacon bitz!” Flow’s startin’ ta become a lil’ catchy for me, outta nowhere; good shit! My Rating: 4.1
EDIT: Mike Nef beat.


07. “Cut Throat”
>>> Likin’ tha beat start; interestin’ sound… Ooh, gutta, southern sound wit this “cut throat” shit, here. Doin’ some mo shit fa tha streetz, here; sellin’ a lot, non-stop! You sound like a smart street dude, here… “Play wit me iz suicide;” almost sounds like Savage’s 2006 “Suicide” joint that was so tight!! My Rating: 4.2
EDIT: Also, Mike Nef beat.


08. “I’m Loaded”
>>> Whoo!! Nice beat start wit these sounds; even hotter!!! Even hotter sounds on tha hook, too!! Kinda a tease wit tha a-tune in tha hook, but at least it’s, like, one word every bar or two, and you’re at least “loaded!” Feelin’ tha rhymes you’re bringin’ to tha table, here; whoo-hoo!! “Loaded!!” My Rating: 4.5
EDIT: Ramzy Da Beast beat.


½time: A 4.2-rated CD, currently; this iz a nice lil’ CD from you!! Keep up tha great work!


09. “Show Me Love” Feat. T.E.C.
>>> An “ass” song; catchy hook! Or, iz this tha 1st verse? Either way, it sounds a lil’ mainstream-y for me… My Rating: 3.2
EDIT: Riley beat.


10. “Cold Heart” Feat. T.E.C.
>>> Got an X-Fyle beat here, and it sounds like a movie theme start! Real nice beat ta make me have a lot of anticipation fa dis track, right now!! Likin’ tha 1st verse, too, about all tha deaths and shit; great, spooky, mysterious vibe!!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty cold-hearted wit tha shit dat happened!! Wow, just so impressed wit this beat and vibe; one of tha best I’ve heard in a while, and it’s a song about dead ones!!! Good shit comin’ outta tha 3rd verse, too; splittin’ tha verse up, and tha 2nd ½ of it’s real nice ta hear!! Such a “cold world,” right? I might even add this song to my playlist ASAP; can’t even imagine tha last song about losing people/things that entered my playlist! My Rating: 4.9


11. “Make You Fold” Feat. T.E.C. & T-Bo
>>> Sounds like a catchy song, and tha beat’s pretty entertainin’! Of course, I love gamblin’, so tha sayin’ of folding iz catchy ta hear; nice, catchy hook! Tha 1st verse sounds like it’s a Philly flow, and I’m feelin’ it! Must’ve been T.E.C.; impressive! You’re on tha 2nd verse, and it’s beef, beef, beef!! Got Mr. Firecracker on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through almost like Young Dro (“O”-ending sounds)! My Rating: 4.4
EDIT: Mike Nef beat.


12. “Bang Ba Bang” Feat. Roi Anthony & T.E.C.
>>> Must be “Chip” on tha beat, based off tha intro… Well, tha a-tune-singin’ hook’s a deal-breaker for me; let’s see how much more I can comment of this… Ehh, nothin’ really much goin’ on here, and tha beat’s just okay for me. Well, beat’s a lil’ betta than decent, but tha track ain’t. Surprised T.E.C. ain’t a-tunin’ his voice; he luved it on his The Take Off mixtape, but not usin’ it on a song like this? Ugh, weird… not like I want any, anyway!! My Rating: 2.3


13. “Floatin’” Feat. T.E.C. & Gangsta
>>> I wish tha word and term “swag” would just die; maybe, that’s a sign in tha beginning (“we don’t call it ‘swag’ anymore”)? Anyway, sounds like a nice “trap” beat, and tha hook’s pretty catchy while y’all feel like y’all in tha sky! Ugh, can they fuckin’ get rid of that “Turn My Swag On” reference about hoppin’ “out tha bed”?!? This ain’t too bad, but tha lyrics are startin’ ta not be tha best when T.E.C. raps on this… Gangsta’s kickin’ some “ass,” here; keep bein’ a “donkey,” you “donkey,” lol! My Rating: 3.7
EDIT: Mike Nef beat.


14. “Whatcha Looking At” Feat. T.E.C. & Miss Chee
>>> Almost a spooky voice ta start off tha hook, but it’s a lil’ catchy… Tha 1st verse from you sounds okay ta listen to… Ooh, what’s this rapidfire shit on tha 2nd verse?! T.E.C.? Naw, it’s a gurl? Why can’t she be first in tha ID? *Fixes ID* What a fiya-ass verse!!! Neva mind, T.E.C. on tha hook? Oh, I’m confused, but you did a nice job on tha 3rd verse, too, as you’re keepin’ shit on-n-poppin’! My Rating: 4.2
EDIT: Riley beat.


15. “You Know” Feat. T.E.C.
>>> Really interestin’ beat it sounds like, here; I can picture dinosaur bones bein’ played, or a pile of ‘em! Tha hook sounds cool, but look at all tha shit y’all “got” on tha 1st verse!! T.E.C. sounds okay on tha 2nd verse, throwin’ “back” and shit! Tha 3rd verse iz addictive ta where you’re “sippin’ syrup” out a “sippy cup!” My Rating: 4.3
EDIT: Mike Nef beat.


16. “Ur Nothin’” Feat. T.E.C.
>>> Interestin’ spokesman for tha intro… Tha beat sounds pretty cool here, too; “scumbag” anthem!! I have a feelin’ this iz J Buc on tha beat; where are tha tags??? Some tags I like hearin’, but most I don’t! These anti-“bitch” rhymes are entertainin’ ta hear; great job!! Also, cool collaboration, once again; T.E.C. sounds good on tha 2nd verse! T.E.C. didn’t wanna end, so y’all both on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit ¼ verses! Definitely a nice job on that final verse, y’all! Also, lol @ tha ending, strictly attackin’ these bitches!! My Rating: 4.5
EDIT: Tha one and only, J Buc on tha beat!!!


Overall: I forgot to read tha back cover for tha producers; whoops! Gon add an “edit” at tha end of each review for those that I didn’t identify as producer… Anyway, this was mainly a nice CD from you, Bengie Bee! Keep tha hot No Limit Forever Records music pumpin’!! Props to your producers, especially X-Fyle and J Buc, and thumbs up ta tha features!
