Review #1,209: Slim Chance "The Antidote"

Reviewed on 10.02.2012 (Review #1,209)



Finally gettin’ to tha other CD from Slim Chance called The Antidote. Start Time: 10:57 PM | End Time: 11:14 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 #1,209) reviewed on 10.02.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Intro (DJ Dolby Devious)
>>> Oh, anotha intro wit rappin’ in it! Oh wait, that’s just Dolby D’s mixin’ of your songs? I see…; nice shit wit a great beat! My Rating: N/A


02. “Fumes”
! >>> Beat sounds like some mixtape material, on a serious note. Feelin’ how you’re comin’ through on tha mic wit these rhymes! That 2nd verse sounds great wit tha multiple rhymes and shit! Tha hook has a nice, independent “lane” you’re ridin’ in, wit these torchin’ “fumes;” feelin’ it! My Rating: 4.2


03. “Trying To Survive” Feat. Nebu
>>> Not really tha most anticipatin’-soundin’ start for tha beat and vocals, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good wit tha voice, but I dunno about havin’ it this early in tha mixtape. Rhymes sound good, but tha song itself ain’t really for me… My Rating: 2.9


04. “Common Rose”
Why izn’t this song on tha back cover? Bad error, even though tha track #s on tha back cover are correct! >>> This sounds only okay for me; a lot of East Coast-y beats goin’ on, here? I thought I was in tha undaground of Louisiana, not in tha same boat as everyone else? Rhymes are also okay, too… My Rating: 3.2


05. “Farway”
Thought it said, “Faraway”, fa a sec… >>> Lyrics are soundin’ typical, once again, wit this hook… They get betta once tha verses come through, and tha beat’s a lil’ betta than before, too… Tha good thing about these jointz iz that they’re not, like, 4:20 – 5:20ish in length; now that would be a turn-off, and I know many rappers do that wit their so-called “mixtapes!” My Rating: 3.7


06. “Antidote”
>>> Sounds like a catchy song for tha title… A lil’ too much “Hannibal” shit goin’ on, here? Beat’s soundin’ catchy and tha rhymes aren’t too bad, either; you got your character on lock when it comes ta neva stoppin’ when it comes ta completin’ a mission. My Rating: 3.9


½time: So far, you’re off to a decent start, here; 1/3 of it’s below-average for me, so far, but you’ll keep it goin’, hopefully…? You’re at a 3.6 for tha CD rating, currently.


07. “Energy”
>>> Tha hook sounds good, but where’s your true “energy” in tha voice? This sounds like you’re bouncin’ to tha beat while you’re rhymin’, which izn’t enough… Rhymes sound good, but for a song itself, it could sound better… My Rating: 3.8


08. “Against All Odds”
>>> A better beat, here, even though this content ain’t usually tha best for me. However, it sounds good from your mouth. I like your real-life rhymes wit paranoia descriptions, here; keep “lookin’!” My Rating: 4.1


09. “I Just Throw My Money”
Yucky title! >>> What happened at 0:04? Anyway, didn’t know you liked dick in your mouth? SMFH! Skippin’ this immediately! Get that shit outta your mouth (a-tune = dick, don’t you know?)! My Rating: 1.0


10. “I Like (Early Morning)”
>>> Hook ain’t for me at all; nothin’ but mainstream, mainstream, mainstream shit! I have to say, I’ll give you props for randomly spittin’ tha most random shit, here, but this ain’t nothin’ for me, 2012 style. My Rating: 2.6


11. “Hands Of Time” Feat. Lady Kym
Good thing for tha back cover, this time, ‘cause it doesn’t confuse me wit tha way it’s listed in tha DatPiff tracklisting, lol! >>> Not too anticipatin’ of a start; izn’t this tha same Lady Kym words from tha previous review? Thought that sounded betta, 4.0 style? Tha other collaboration was much better; this sounds too depressing, and ain’t really catchin’ on for me wit this sad style, for a song. My Rating: 2.4


12. “Back Up On My Feet Again”
>>> Endin’ wit more of a decent song; still, tha elements of depression are here wit even bringin’ up tha thought of fallin’. Can’t really comment on this; at least you’re spittin’ from tha heart… My Rating: 2.8


Overall: Also took me 17 minutes to review. Anyway, tha other CD I reviewed was much betta than this! After hearin’ #9, that gave it away that this wouldn’t come close to that The Lost Tapes one, and I was right! But, keep grindin’…
