Review #1,324: Boo Milton "2 Sides, 1 Story"

Reviewed on 9.30.2013 (Review #1,324)

Point Blank Productions iz presentin’ this review I finna do: Boo Milton 2 Sides, 1 Story. Wonder how it’ll go? I checked out a video Boo tweeted to me three months ago, and I left feedback three months later (just recent). Goes to show you I show luv… Boo had also said, “Shout out to @LuckyFrankie621 100 Been on the Hip Hop Scene before I started rappin and checked out my [video],” on Twitter, so that’s what’s up! Kinda weird to think I’ve been in this for a minute/longer than someone’s career! Start Time: 11:50 AM | End Time: 12:34 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! 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. “Intro (My Life’s Ambition)”

Damn, you’re missing an “I” in “ambition”; not good! >>> Interesting beat… I’m likin’ tha lyrics, here. “You can’t achieve nothin’ if you ain’t got goals;” nice line. Got a goal to review every Louisiana CD, but right now, I’m tryna complete at least seven VH1-like video countdowns! My Rating: 4.2

02. “Where The Cash Be”
I dunno about this kinda title for me… >>> An okay song; a lil’ boring/typical hook. Only one verse, lol? Not enough to catch on to me, but it ain’t horrible. My Rating: 3.1

03. “Boogie Down Bronx”

Passed there 11 dayz ago… >>> Tha beat you used here sounds like tha old “Bronx”…; even down to tha hook with this ‘80s-like sample, lol… Better, consistent rhymes on this track than tha last one. My Rating: 3.8

04. “Money Long” Feat. Max Minelli, Takka & Young Sunny

Not diggin’ this title, but tha features distract me from it, luckily. Production from Dreas Beats… >>> Sounds just like tha 2^nd song with tha vibe and hook, only this iz slightly better… Got Max on tha 1^st verse, here, stayin’ smoked up! Tha 2^nd verse (Takka)’s boring with tha “money” lyrics. SMH, too much of it!! Was tryna get into it, but they’re too obsessed wit tha title! This 3^rd verse from this former Short Bus Boyz (Young Sunny)’s soundin’ nice on this beat. See, no “money” braggin’, non-stop! Mixed review for me, overall, since some of this threw me off… My Rating: 2.8

05. “Daze For Dayz” Feat. Tyrus Thomas

I like tha double “daze” / “dayz” in this title! >>> Doin’ it Fugees style, here, wit tha old “Ready Or Not” beat… Sounds like a lyrical freestyle… Feelin’ tha lyrics, here. “Far from suicidal;” I feel tha same way when it comes to hatin’ “this world,” at times! I “hate” tha people more than tha “world,” actually. Not really tha kinda shit I’d listen to, but I’ll rate it nice, since it’s pretty consistent wit tha lyrics. Good shit from tha both of you guys, here! See, no need fa tha “money!” My Rating: 4.4

06. “Losing You”
>>> Not another jacked beat (“Sexy Love” by Ne-Yo). Think I’m just gonna skip this before it even comes on… Good story, but I had enough after a minute. Too long for a jacked beat song; tha quick other songs were better! My Rating: 1.7

07. “Roller Coaster” (Point Blank Fam Feat. Kevin Gates)

Not sure what to expect with this title, but if you say Decky’s on tha track, here, then, you got tha correct Twitter address (@deckyondatrack)! A lil’ bit of cursed luck for Decky, though, as a so-called ‘Decky’ (claiming he was Decky, tha @deckyondatrack producer) attacked/threatened me on Twitter, after I reviewed Percy Keith’s CD:

Who’s that so-called ‘Decky’ (Twitter account @LURKINNNNNN)? A lotta people that saw that person knocked him for his rose. I think I should write @deckyondatrack and tell him about this dude! Anyway, let’s see what gon come outta this… >>> Why tha beat tag in tha beginning? Anyway, sounds pretty nice; I really like tha beat, here, and hope tha real Decky can confront tha fake one! Real catchy hook; sounds like Gates made this for you guys before he went to jail, based off his sound? Wow, really likin’ tha beat throughout tha whole song!! Real catchy hook and this 1^st verse’s pretty consistent; nice! “Only 17;” you that young, Boo? Would’ve guessed 20 – 22 or somethin’. A Gates verse, here, on tha 2^nd verse; nice, descriptive lyrics wit tha “drippin’ water” and shit! Damn, beat too hot wit all these sounds!! That fake Decky dude should be ashamed of tryna jack this Decky!! Tha 3^rd verse sounds nice wit this “Roller Coaster” perspective; great sexual rhymes, lol! Tha beat was too nice for me to not like; luved it!! My Rating: 4.9

½time: Kinda a mixed CD, but that song with Kevin Gates made me happy ta continue ta review this! Hope more songs are like that one! Currently, your CD’s at a 3.6 for tha CD rating…

08. “G-Step” (Point Blank Fam Feat. Mouse On Tha Track)

A Q-Red-produced song, this time, with a snake’s meal on tha feature, lol! >>> Sounds like a catchy hook wit tha “right to left” shit. Tha 1^st verse sounds pretty nice, though it almost sounds off-beat, at times… Mouse on tha 2^nd verse, here, “an ‘80s baby.” He one of tha only ‘80s babies where I don’t know his birth year! Gotta be, like, ’83 or somethin’; I’m just takin’ a guess, since I assume he a lil’ older than DJ B-Real. Of course, Mouse came through pretty nice, here! Tha 3^rd verse sounds like random dancin’… Ehh, okay, but it goes wit this track, so I won’t criticize it too much… My Rating: 4.4

09. “Love You”

Rock It Productions (?) on tha production, here… >>> It said, “.com,” on tha beat tag? Ewe, online production… Yea, not feelin’ this at all wit this soft hook. Hope this iz an ‘album’ ‘cause this ain’t near a ‘mixtape’ wit this sound, no blending, and more! After 1:30, I’m done wit this! My Rating: 2.1

10. “Pay Me”
Speaker Knockers on tha beat, but damn, anotha money title? >>> This sounds like an okay song. I like those video game sounds in tha beat… Tha hook’s typical wit this “I want money” shit, so you know I gotta knock some points off fa dat! My Rating: 3.6

11. “My Ego” Feat. Lee Banks & Big Head

Vintage Rippah doin’ tha track, here. Tha more I’m in this music biz, tha smaller “my ego” becomes. I keep failing to prove to people, tryin’ to get Percy Keith’s attention, and more. I must have tha smallest “ego,” right? Meanwhile, I talked to Paul Wall, had Pitbull call me for my 17^th & 18^th birthday, had 2 Chainz’s group, Playaz Circle, subscribe to my reviewz on MySpace, and more, smfh! >>> I like tha random voice effects wit tha title part in tha beginning; nice… Tha hook sounds catchy wit this beat; good shit, so far… Got tha 1^st verse, here, and you’re soundin’ pretty nice, supplyin’ tha “party.” Ehh, too much “money” in tha beginning? Can you spend some on me? I actually need a lot of it, right now, and I’m sure you’d wanna get, like, a commercial from me? I offer quite a lot, and it’s all cheap! Lee Banks sounds nice on tha 2^nd verse, by tha way; consistent rhymes on this track fa you, Boo! Now, let’s see how tha Dome Doctor gon provide tha 3^rd verse… Nice; he been it at it fa, like, a decade, now! My Rating: 4.4

12. “Mercy”

>>> Nice beat, and consistent rhymes you bringin’, here; I’m feelin’ ‘em! Not feelin’ tha Level “Money Right” quote. There’s other fish in tha sea, not “money” virgins! My Rating: 4.3

13. “Start The Line” Feat. Lee Banks & Percy Keith

Here’s that joint, wit Boss doin’ tha beat! Lemme give it its official review! >>> Like I said in my mini review on tha video, I’m feelin’ tha energy a lot! Tha hook’s nice; you got tha clubs/parties on lock! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse, Boo, strictly holdin’ it down, here! More consistent shit from Lee Banks on tha 2^nd verse, here, showin’ luv to tha “Point Blank” Fam… Got Percy on tha 3^rd verse, here. I heard that he’s ‘sexist,’ a lil’ bit (only retweets girls and shit)? No wonder why he don’t respond to anything I try to support him on. I dealt wit that when I was 18 – 20 (2006 – 2008) at my first college; those dayz were bad! No need to deal wit ‘em, still, in 2013! But, it was an okay verse, overall… My Current Rating: 4.6

14. “Loved & Lost (Travon Wilson Dedication)”

Downtown Beats doin’ tha final track, here… >>> For a “dedication,” this track doesn’t sound depressin’, and it’s a nice beat to rap on… Tha 1^st verse’s pretty nice. As far as tha hook goes, I can relate to all this “lost” shit, but not in a sexual way. In a way ta lose against tons of friendships. As far as tha 2^nd verse goes, it’s okay, too. I’m feelin’ your honesty, here. Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, and I have ta say, at 25, I’ve neva “lost” a homie, etc. that I’ve known in person. I might have to make a song about it. I don’t know too many that haven’t “lost” people by bein’ 25. My Rating: 3.5

Overall: There was some real good shit on here, some shit that was definitely below-average, and for tha most part, in-between. To me, this was a real great CD that was a mixed review. Percy Keith’s Compliments Of Luca Brasi had tha same CD rating score as you, only you had ½ point more on tha total score. That CD was just like you, so I can see where you’re goin’ wit this…
