Review #1,220: Dino Danja "Danja Zone Da Movement Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 11.04.2012 (Review #1,220)

Got 9 CD reviewz I have to do before I leave for New York on Tuesday; let’s see how I do… First one, Danja Zone Muzik’s Dino Danja Danja Zone Da Movement Vol. 1. Start Time: 4:42 PM | End Time: 4:56 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!

01. “Stay Sleepin’”

>>> Almost sounds like a freestyle for me; not bad. You bring your own Danja Zone style to tha beats, here. My Rating: 3.8

02. “We Trust” Feat. Lil’ Scottie
>>> Nice gangsta style, here; good collaboration wit a gutta, dirty south sound/style! My Rating: 4.2

03. “Once Upon A Time”

>>> Long beginning… Good thing some of these are short; makes things nice and sweet… Just regular rappin’ on a regular beat, here. My Rating: 3.6

04. “Consequences” Feat. Lil’ Scottie

>>> This sounds great to hear; “consequences” to all those bitch-ass dickheads! I don’t get why people are obsessed wit keepin’ their “fuckin’ heater on” them? Weird as fuck! But, it’s a good collaboration. My Rating: 4.3

05. “Yolo”

>>> This iz pretty good for a street song; livin’ dat hood life and expressin’ it. My Rating: 4.0

06. “Not A Star”

>>> Sounds boring, and it also sounds like automatic thinkin’ of bein’ big… My Rating: 2.7

½time: A 3.8-rated CD, currently; sounds pretty good…

07. “Iced Out” Feat. Lil’ Scottie

>>> DJ B-Real beat. This sounds a lil’ catchy; fits wit tha Danja Zone-type music… Once again, anotha good collaboration. My Rating: 3.9

08. “I Do This”
>>> WTF wit tha first few seconds? Sounds boring for a song, but good for holdin’ your people down. My Rating: 3.1

09. “Street Rules” Feat. Lil’ Scottie

>>> Not really feelin’ tha typical “money” content that everyone raps about; nothin’ new. Either way, this sounds like a catchy song and once again, anotha good collaboration for tha 225 hoodz. My Rating: 3.9

10. “Stay Up”

>>> Yucky hook; sounds jacked and today’s generation! Also, wtf wit tha long-ass length? Can be an okay song if it wasn’t so long, but okay content, here. My Rating: 2.4

11. “Thuggin’” Feat. Lit Jay Red & Uptown Delvin

>>> Not really into this; sounds like everyone else and how everyone wants to be ‘cool’ by flashin’ shit and dissin’ others, smh! Either way, good collaboration and good for a song; not too much for me to listen to, though. My Rating: 3.5

12. “Venting”

>>> Length iz nice and short… Lyrics sound okay; some are nothin’ impressive, but you deliverin’ them sounds okay. Still, your voice doesn’t fit tha title; not near a “venting” emotion. My Rating: 3.7

13. “Barz In My Fanta” Feat. Young B, EJ, Lil’ Scottie & Dae~Dae

Ooh! My Current Rating: 4.7
