Review #1,225: Lil' Pokey "This Is Why I'm Hot (Da Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 11.04.2012 (Review #1,225)



This next review iz artist Lil’ Pokey This Is Why I’m Hot (Da Mixtape). Okay, tha title’s automatic, so that’s low anticipation for me. Also, tha uncalled for “da mixtape” in tha title, too; WHY DOES EVERYONE JUST PUT OUT MIXTAPES?!? WHERE ARE THA ALBUMS?!? Also, I don’t get why everyone’s wearin’ tha geeky glasses now-a-dayz?! Start Time: 9:48 PM | End Time: 10:01 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. “Intro”
>>> Didn’t expect rappin’, but it’s aight, minus tha dickridin’ of tha word “mixtape.” My Rating: 3.7


02. “Feel Like It”
>>> Not bad; sounds like a regular joint from Louisiana… My Rating: 3.8


03. “Actin’ On ‘Em (Swerve)”
>>> ??? Why was there a beat tag, smh… ??? I like this beat, though; I like your whole “swerve” shit goin’ on. I like how you be “actin’,” here… My Rating: 4.1


04. “Is It Dat”
>>> Heard this beat on anotha Louisiana artist, once before, so I can’t really feel this too much; didn’t think Id’ hear it again. Tha rappin’ ain’t too bad, though… My Rating: 3.0


05. “Bad Bitch”
>>> Typical, but it ain’t bad… My Rating: 3.6


06. “Fuss N Fight”
>>> Vocals are a lil’ gay on tha hook; I’m not gonna waste my time on this soft, long, not “mixtape” material shit. My Rating: 1.7


07. “In My Snapback”
>>> Nothin’ really ta say about this one; decent… My Rating: 3.5


08. “Gotta Get It Official”
>>> Yuck, a “money” song wit a long-ass, braggin’ intro; what else iz new?!? My Rating: 2.3


09. “Cuttin’ Up”
>>> Nothin’ really special; nothin’ for me to say about this… My Rating: 2.9


½time: An aight start, but it’s startin’ ta slip and get boring…; 3.2 for tha CD rating, currently.


10. “Do Tha Most”
>>> Anotha one that’s nothin’ special… My Rating: 3.1


11. “She Ride Dat Dick”
I don’t get it; why does everyone think they have a “dick”? >>> A lil’ slow, but it’s catchy, surprisingly. Either way, very braggy-type for me to listen to. My Rating: 3.4


12. “Pokey”
>>> Boring beat choices…; nothin’ ta really say about this one, either. My Rating: 2.8


13. “Let Me Get Dat”
>>> This iz aight…, kinda…; a lil’ swaggy for me. My Rating: 3.2


14. “Dollar Billz”
Really not likin’ this title. >>> Nice female and beat choice; not too bad, overall, even though there’s nothin’ special wit these lyrics. Not really into all tha “big” shit… My Rating: 3.3


15. “Prayers Go Up, Blessings Come Down (Trayvon Martin Tribute)”
I dunno about this non-Louisiana tribute on a Louisiana CD; were you cool or somethin’? >>> Long intro, but good hook, here…; an above-average tribute, I guess, from tha undaground… My Rating: 3.6


16. “Kick ‘Em 2 Tha Curve”
>>> I ain’t puttin’ up wit a hook like this; no need for feedback from me! My Rating: 1.8


17. “Fuck Berney” (Lil’ Donkey Feat. Lil’ Pokey & Teflon)
>>> Sounds like a random song… I don’t know what ta say about this, except that it’s a typical, 225-type hood song that’s, like, internet status… Where’s “Bad Azz Ent.” comin’ from, here? My Rating: 3.4


18. “Tears Drop”
>>> Not into inserted hooks; not really for me wit these sad lyrics. However, you had a betta ear for beats, here. I like tha Trayvon Martin tribute betta… My Rating: 2.7


19. Outro
>>> Contact info. My Rating: N/A


Overall: Not much feedback I left; there wasn’t much to say. I guess it’s time to get some original beats and more ideas…
