Review #1,251: X-Fyle Presents "Neighborhood Track Dealer Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 1.31.2013 (Review #1,251)


My next review for today iz X-Fyle Presents Neighborhood Track Dealer Vol. 1! Start Time: 9:52 PM | End Time: 10:15 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!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,251) reviewed on 1.31.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Kevin Gates “Sinatra”
My Current Rating: 3.6


02. X-Fyle Feat. Master P, Romeo & The Louie V Mobb “Smoke, Drank & Cut”
You know he just “Romeo” now, right, Mr. X-Fyle? >>> Sounds good wit tha title, but no way am I into tha hook!! Can’t even tell anyone’s voices; not for me, despite me likin’ tha title! My Rating: 1.4


03. X-Fyle Feat. Coppertop “Hell Of A Night”
>>> What’s this gay beginning? Aren’t I listenin’ to rappers, not singers? Not really for me; tha 2nd verse iz barely okay… My Rating: 1.2


04. Birdman “Nightclub”
Not in tha DatPiff folder… >>> Why this mainstream shit fa this compilation? I understand you produced it, but keep it undaground! Now, that’s “100!” Oh yea, no a-tune for me! My Rating: 1.0


05. Birdman Feat. Mack Maine & Drake “You Too Fine”
Why? >>> Really long intro wit tha hook, although it’s tha catchiest hook outta tha five songs, so far. Not too bad, but I don’t need to hear this pop shit on an undaground producer’s mixtape! My Rating: 3.2


06. X-Fyle Feat. Down Bad “MollyWhopped”
Forgot how it went… >>> Once again, cool beat; a great song to get fucked up to… My Current Rating: 4.3


07. X-Fyle Feat. Mookie Blakk “We Be Dummy”
That’s two “K”s in his name! BTW, I think this iz an ’09 joint Mookie sent me that was just called “Dummy”, at tha time? Lemme see… >>> This doesn’t sound like it, despite me neva gettin’ ta hear dat joint except tha beginning beat… Then again, that was just Mookie, not X-Fyle featuring Mookie… This sounds like a cool, “dummy”-type joint, as always; can’t complain… Mookie sounds cool when it comes to tha rappin’; good job. Hearin’ tha 3rd verse; must be you. You’re, like, voiceless to me; I can neva tell when it’s you on a song unless there’s a distinct voice from tha other artist… Either way, your verse’s a lil’ too mainstream for me! It bothers me to hear anything about “money!” My Rating: 3.7


08. Gyft “People See Me (They Just Don’t Know)”
First new artist on here… >>> Really? 6:25 on tha length wit a beat start like this… Okay, tha sample’s teasin’ me to like this a lil’ bit. Reminds me of anotha beat you produced. I won’t get into that, unless we talk privately ‘cause I don’t wanna put tha thief’s name out there! But, surprisingly, I’m likin’ this a lil’ bit; this rapper iz aight, but it sounds like a good joint, overall. Really long outro, here… My Rating: 4.0


09. X-Fyle Feat. Mouse “Eddie Kane”
>>> Sounds good; automatically, this tha type of shit you can’t deny! Must be you rappin’, here; it sounds good, despite some of tha mainstream-type shit you be sayin’… Tha hook’s pretty catchy; can’t help it when it comes ta a name bein’ tha title! Mouse On Tha Track on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit his entertainin’-ass! My Rating: 3.8


½time: A few songs that were really shitty, but there’s some good/decent shit on here; only a 2.9 for tha CD rating, currently. X-Fyle, it’s time ta cut on tha wack, mainstream shit!


10. Birdman “Money Machine”
Also, not in tha DatPiff folder… >>> No wonder! My Rating: 1.0


11. Mookie Blakk Feat. Sam I Am “Dat Level”
If only I would’ve gotten this CD when it came out. Then, when I uploaded tha radio edit, I could’ve put which CD it came off of. Y’all need to not delay these CDs; c’mon, now! My Current Rating: 4.3


12. X-Fyle “Life & Times”
>>> A calm beat wit some good rhymes. Somethin’ about your samples seem to catch attention. I usually hate ‘em, but this anotha one I’m feelin’. Not bad ta listen ta this; I think this iz tha “times” of tha 1984 babies! It seems like err-body from ’84’s real cool ta deal wit, or I keep dealin’ wit ’84 babies! Dumb shit! My Rating: 3.5


13. Lil’ Boosie & B.G. “Gamez”
>>> Nice beat this time, X! Good lil’ hook wit Boosie talkin’ about people takin’ him as if he was some sorta technology! Hearin’ Gizzle on tha 1st verse, and why iz he so quiet, it sounds like? It’s okay, but too quiet… Boosie’s on tha 2nd verse and he’s quiet, too; increase da vocals, X! But, I’m likin’ all these “gamez” references, such as “Pac-Man!” Tha rest of this iz good…, but quiet! My Rating: 4.4


14. X-Fyle “Flyboyz”
>>> Real nice sounds in tha beginning!! I hope this turns out ta be somethin’ real good… Good job wit tha hook, here; soundin’ nice and “fly!” Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good; why this gotta be 4:31? I like tha long lengths when there’s usually a feature or two… Almost sounds like Max Minelli on tha 2nd verse, but it’s all you? I like tha “kush” line… Despite tha long length, there’s a long beat outro; yea, let dat beat ride out!! My Rating: 4.4


15. X-Fyle Feat. Mouse & Box “Spread My Wings”
LOL! My Current Rating: 4.4


16. X-Fyle Feat. Tank Jones “Let Yourself Go”
>>> No a-tune for me! I’m too old fa dat! I’m 24, X-Fyle!! 20-muthafuckin’-4!! I think I was too old for it when I was 20, 21, too! You were 20, 21 when “Y’all Heard Of Me” started blowin’ up…; no a-tune then! Think, X-Fyle, think! My Rating: 1.0


17. Tre Virdure “Covergirl”
>>> Little would I know that an R&B song would beat a bunch of songs on here. Either way, beat sounds nice for an R&B song, and Tre sounds good, mixin’ it up wit some rap-type topics wit tha “car.” Also, interestin’ vocals durin’ tha verses… My Rating: 3.3


18. X-Fyle Feat. Lil’ Boosie, B.G. & Louisiana Ca$h “Bottom Of The Boot”
>>> Nice beat; great super Louisiana collaboration, here… My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Before I comment, I have ta say, thank God you don’t have tha BR rapper that robbed me outta a ½ stack on here! You produced fa him, and you were smart enough ta not put him on here! That’s a good look, X-Fyle; glad you’re so smart! Anyway, not tha best compilation, but I’ll give you credit for puttin’ some good songs on here.
