Review #1,289: D. Jackson "Cake Life"

Reviewed on 5.29.2013 (Review #1,289)


Goin’ a lil’ backwards from tha previous review, but I gon review it now: Golden Music Group’s D. Jackson Cake Life! Start Time: 11:33 AM | End Time: 11:57 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! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. “I’m Ready”
I have a feelin’ some repeat songs are gonna be on here, but whether or not I should’ve reviewed tha other CD first, I already reviewed it today, so I gon post my regular ratings: My Current Rating: 3.9


02. “Get Paper”
LOL! My Current Rating: 4.3


03. “Do Me Like Me”
Dammit, lol! My Current Rating: 3.7


04. “Can’t Pass Me Up” Feat. A.R.
*In a farting perspective* Ahh… >>> A Vybe beat for you, Jackson? Doesn’t really make sense, but this doesn’t sound bad ta rap on… Tha rappin’ ain’t bad, here; I like tha hook, although there’s some mainstream-soundin’ shit durin’ your verse… Let’s hear what A.R. has ta say… Sounds catchy; nice lil’ voice fa dis shit… Tha 3rd verse ain’t as mainstream as tha 1st verse fa me, so I can deal wit it… My Rating: 3.4


05. “Came Up” Feat. DatBoyDevin
His name’s all not-spaced like dat? >>> Not bad for a start; tha beat’s a lil’ interestin’… Let’s hear what this featured dude sounds like… Ehh, only decent for me. My Rating: 3.0


06. “Mill Ticket” Feat. SP & DatBoyDevin
>>> A lil’ too long for me to keep my interest… To me, this just anotha hustlin’-type song, like tha otha 1,000,000 of ‘em out there… My Rating: 2.3


07. “On My Grizzy”
>>> Sounds like some Soulja Boy/V.I.C.-type lyrics on tha hook, here, wit tha simple shit… Tha beat’s a lil’ cool, though simple, too… Wow @ tha first 53 seconds wit just tha title… Not really into tha beginning of tha 1st verse; sounds like you listen to way too much Kevin Gates! My Rating: 2.6


08. “Cake Life”
La-la-la-la-la… My Current Rating: 1.5


09. “Be Without You”
>>> Nice to hear an Aaliyah sample, but “Ice Cream Paint Job” producer on tha beat? Where are you? Either way, this ain’t nothin’ special for me… Sounds like anotha mixtape song wit it just bein’ okay/below-average. My Rating: 2.4


½time: So far, three stars iz what I rate this CD; seems like there’s not much to offer, here. I see how you didn’t produce all tha songs; no wonder why tha Temptations CD’s betta…


10. “Get It Today”
>>> A lil’ non-Southern for me wit tha beat you’re rappin’ on… It’s a lil’ on a laidback tip, but too boring for me when it comes to a producer I think has talent! My Rating: 2.2


11. “Alotta Respect” Feat. A.R.
Usually, “a lot” iz two words, but I’ll let tha compound wordness slide, here… >>> Okay, finally, one of your beats and it sounds nice! Now, this iz what I’m talkin’ about wit tha beats!! Also, nice job wit tha hook; drillin’ tha title in err-body’s asses!! I’m also feelin’ how you’re comin’ through on tha 1st verse; nice rhymes and how you’re comin’ through on here! A-Dot-R-Dot’s on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit; can’t deny this… And, you on tha 3rd verse sounds catchy; I can hear tha entertainment in your voice wit tha “boy” parts. It sounds like you’re actually enjoyin’ tha song! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Grown Man” Feat. Lit Sig
>>> Okay, now, we’re back to tha okay/below-average shit. Tha beat ain’t really nothin’ for me, but some of tha rhymes you’re comin’ through wit are entertainin’, tha way you deliver ‘em… Nothin’ really goin’ on wit tha hook, either, especially wit there bein’ a sample on it, too. Let’s see what this Lit Sig dude ‘bout on tha 2nd verse… Once he said, “swag,” I feel like I can just cut tha verse; I know it’s on tha below-average level for me… My Rating: 2.6


13. “Shake Something”
>>> Nice beginning; finally, it sounds a lil’ different than usual tracks! Likin’ tha beat, and tha okay lyrics ain’t too bad for this track, either… Almost sounded like St. Louis/Nelly wit tha “rre”-soundin’ words durin’ tha 2nd verse! My Rating: 4.0


14. “Drop It Low” Feat. A.R. & PAP
>>> Nice beginnin’ from A.R. on tha 1st verse; feelin’ his consistency! Nice beat, includin’ a nice “ass” song! I might like this betta than tha previous song; keep this consistency up!! “Callin’ all ass to tha flo!” Tha 2nd verse sounds like tha PAP dude, since I don’t recognize tha voice… Nothin’ wack, here, and it’s on-topic, so I can feel it…, a lil’… And, as far as tha 3rd verse, it ain’t bad; we’ll consider you on a decent level, D… My Rating: 4.1


15. “Feel You”
>>> Yes, tha consistency continues wit this fast vibe!! A lil’ boring aside from tha beat, but it ain’t that bad for me… Still, why 4:47 on tha length? Not every song has to be long and not every CD has ta be 80 minutes long! Too long to keep my interest… Tha rhymes are really on an okay/somewhat-wack-for-others level, but I ain’t trippin’ too much on it… My Rating: 3.2


16. “Bubbling”
LOL! My Current Rating: 3.8


17. “We On”
L-to-tha-O-to-tha-L-to-tha-! My Current Rating: 2.8


18. “We Gone Be Alright”
Final song… >>> Just like tha title says, this iz “alright” for me; nothin’ special. It ain’t bad for an ending song… My Rating: 2.9


Overall: Wit all tha repeat songs, I thought I was definitely gon see tha Kevin Gates feature; good thing it ain’t here, lol! Turns out tha Temptations CD was better. Either way, like I said tha last time, take away tha mainstream topics, and focus on tha undaground of Louisiana! Do you live tha same life as others, or do you live a different life?
