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!!

“Anhedonic”
Not
sure what ta expect wit this title; does it have ta do with an antidote? I have to say, as much as I’m
nervous, I’m excited…, I guess? Don’t take anything personal if I bash on this.
I’m givin’ my honest opinion. I have no
idea what to expect!!! OMG, I just prayed for this to be good, just now! OMG!!
>>> Okay… It sounds like New
Orleans bounce music for a start, so I’m likin’ this!
I have ta say, as nervous as I was, I’m feelin’ this. It has that old vibe of
your music, and it doesn’t sound like you’re fully singin’. I have ta say,
catchy! Wow, quotin’ tha ‘90s, here, wit tha “Put It In [My] Mouth” shit;
nasty!! Lookin’ in my audio-editing program right now, and tha volume on this
track iz approximately six decibels off. That means, when I’m done hearin’ it,
I’ll fix it. That’s why, it’s quieter than I thought… My Rating: 4.3
02.
“Forever”
Wow,
6:13 on tha length? Hopefully, it’s as Shefflicious as tha previous joint!
Let’s see what this be about… >>> Tha beginning sounds like a Mario
Winans-like hook from tha early 2000s? Again, anotha great vibe here!! Didn’t expect a 6:13 song ta be uptempo; that’s
what’s up!! Jammin’! BTW, lookin’ in my iTunes library right now, and tha song
I was referrin’ to wit tha beginning line was Lloyd Banks & Avant—not Mario
Winans—“Karma (Remix)”, from 2004. That’s what it sounded like on tha vocals in
tha beginning! Oh… 3:11 in, it sounds like a hidden track! In tha case of a
double track on one track, I will try to combine
tha ratings! So, so far, I think I’d rate that—Why don’t we wait! It sounds
like an instrumental part, here… Sounds like a good party wit this instrumental
part; nice thinkin’! My Rating: 4.2
03.
“Auto-Resist”
I
like your titles, Sheff! Anything wit an “auto” effect gon probably have a good
chance of gettin’ a good rating from me! >>> Again, I like your
character on tha vocals, and I’m feelin’ tha uptempo beat, once again! Oh, even
computerized vocals in tha background? I’m diggin’ it! Almost reminds me of tha
‘80s rap!! Even though you’ve been in tha game for almost all your expected rap
time, I do hope you get to “Europe!” I love how you prepared/scared me when you said
that this wasn’t a “rap album.” I consider it rap; it’s good, unique, and not
typical! Hot 93.7 definitely could
show this luv!! My Rating: 4.2
04.
“Amoxicilin (Keep Dyin’/Secluded)”
Wow,
what a title!! When a drug iz in tha title, you know this shit gon be on-n-poppin’!! Of course, someone who doesn’t
do drugs, I happen to luv any kinda
drug-type music! So, “Amoxicilin,” here we come!! >>> Sounds like classic-soundin’
Sheff on tha beat, once again! Glad your production neva gets old/outdated/brainwashed by tha mainstream!! Oh yea,
today marks 142 months since I’ve known about you!! Yes, back on January 30,
2002, when I first heard you on Kid Fresh’s Hot 8 @ 8 countdown, wit dat
“Retribution”! Glad we’re connected and you recognize my talent! Once again,
this song ain’t gettin’ boring for its 5:16 length! I just feel it; it’s all
about this “sick” “love!” Wow, “duct-tape you in gold?” Crazy, but valuable!! My Rating: 4.4
05.
“Cold Blood Type O”
Another
hospital-like title, here; I’m anticipatin’ it, especially this “type!” Maybe,
it should be “Type M,” for Milo? Anyway, let’s
peep this joint out!! >>> Interesting sounds, here… Tha BPM’s a lil’
faster, and it sounds great! Tha “here we go” kinda has that A Tribe Called
Quest anticipation; gotta feel it! Lots of instrumental parts? You have a
unique way of thinkin’; I don’t think anyone in tha mainstream would think tha
way you do! I gotta meet you sooner or later! Jammin’, as always; nice and
consistent album—not mixtape—here!! My Rating: 4.4
06.
“Check It Off”
So,
it sounds like you have a checklist,
here? I’m anticipatin’ this; I know
you gon give me anotha great feelin’ with anotha great track! >>> Feelin’
tha beat start a lot! Sounds like you’re checkin’
“off” these winnin’ females; that’s
what’s up! They qualify to be in your life, Sheff! I like tha “DMGM” shit;
sounds catchy fa this… I like how you say, “I’ll never evolve.” It’s kinda
true, since you’re always true to
form wit your sound! Also, you’re always loyal—loyal!! It does run in your blood,
like “Royals”! LOL! My Rating: 4.2
½time: Wow, from bein’ nervous,
I’m definitely feelin’ this CD right
now!! Its got a classic Sheff sound to it, and you always do you; that’s all you know!! So far, a 4.3-rated
CD, qualifyin’ for five stars!!! Yes, if all tha jointz on here can get a 4.0
or higher rating, then this CD’s a five-star review for me!! Keep up tha great work, Sheff!! Also, behind tha
scenes of this ½time update, you picked up tha phone. Glad you appreciate me
for likin’ this, and I know you’re
lookin’ forward ta seein’ this live
review!!

“Universe” Feat. Jazzy Sheff, Milo Sheff Jr.
& Kaden Sheff
A
family on tha feature, lol? Iz this a first fa me? I don’t think I reviewed a whole entire family… Then again, I’m not
sure about my anticipation, so we gon have ta see what happens, here…
>>> Beat has a lil’ bit of a ‘80s/’90s feel to it; gotta feel it!! Likin’
tha production, and tha hook sounds pretty catchy, as usual! It sounds like tha
memorable/popular dayz of B2K on tha 1st verse/your vocals; catchy!
Makes me think back of when I first heard about you, hence tha B2K reference! I
like tha reference you’re makin’ wit tha “Saturn rings;” nice! For a family on
tha feature, not corny at all! Other
dudes prolly would be like, “I’m poor…; my life sucks…; *sighs*; *cries*;”
LMAO! But, you know what it iz! My
Rating: 4.1
08.
“Don’t Like You”
Wow,
a negative attitude on this CD, lol? Nah, I’m just playin’; you know what it
iz! I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ why “you” “don’t like” this someone! >>> Wow, hot beat start; undaground at its
finest!! Catchin’ my attention in a great
way!! Vocals sound real quiet on tha hook… Sometimes, I neva picture mine bein’
clearer… But, tha production’s really
holdin’ it down, right now!! I dunno
what else ta say about this… I like how tha beat stops, like you say! Again, that’s you usin’ your brain!! Prolly
would’ve rated it a lil’ higher if tha vocals were a lil’ catchier and clearer.
Either way, it might be my top-rated, so far? My Rating: 4.4
09.
“Charm Lucky Lady”
Looks
like you had an encounter wit a special—or should I say, “lucky”—“lady!” Let’s
see what dis be ‘bout… >>> Sounds like anotha catchy production, once
again; I don’t mind tha hook, either… Sounds like you’re really doin’ it up wit
your luck wit tha ladies! Nice breakdown wit tha “put ya
hands up” parts; good job thinkin’ of a bridge! Rarely do you hear a bridge
these dayz!! Ooh, nice beat at
2:24!!! Wow, sounds like somethin’ I’d approve/use when producing!! My Rating: 4.1
10.
“J.T.B.Y. (Just Thinkin’ ‘Bout You)”
Miami on tha length, here,
a.k.a. 3:05! Not sure what ta expect. As long as it has a good vibe like tha
previous jointz, I’ll feel it! >>> Sounds like a catchy song; almost
like a “Crunk It Or Junk It” on Hot 93.7—Wednesday nights!! Sounds decent tha
whole way ‘round. However, you kicked it up a notch wit tha beat again, at
1:47!! You got some great sound ideas
in mind! My Rating: 4.0
11.
“Your Stress”
Let’s
see what this 3:07 joint sounds like… >>> Tha beat sounds like a mix
between a basketball event vs. tha hood; gotta luv it! Tha hook’s pretty
catchy, too; I like tha computerized-soundin’ title! For a title that would
sound depressing, I luv how it’s like a jam; can’t complain! Glad your music
doesn’t sound all sad and stupid! My
Rating: 4.3
12.
“Good Being Bad”
Let’s
see how this bonus track of 2:45 gon end this thang off!! >>> Beat’s
uptempo, at least; this ain’t that “bad.” It sounds catchy how you deliver tha
vocals… I’ll give it four stars; it’s decent, but tha vibe’s always on-n-poppin’ wit chu, Sheff!! My Rating: 4.0
Overall: I have ta say, as nervous
as I was, you definitely did a great, unique job wit this CD, Sheff!!
I’m impressed!! I’m surprised it made its way to five stars wit me!! That’s
‘cause you keep tha vibe goin’; your sound neva
gets old or boring!! And, in case you were wondering, I was ‘pose to review
this CD a few weeks ago. However, to try to catch up on things, I was fixin’ up
about 17,000 songs!! When I say, “fixing up,” I mean fixin’ tha volumes, takin’
out tha silence, fixin’ up tha artist/title/year/album/album artist/track
number/disc number/label/beats-per-minute/producer/genre/artwork information on
each track, and renamin’ tha filenames! So yea, Sheff, 17,000 songs—about 900+
CDs!! And, I still pulled through fa
this review—live—and, did everything in tha month of November!
Well, tha volume/audio of tha songs, I did in July & August. But, anyway,
great job! Don’t give up; you’re neva
too old fa music!! Keep bein’ you!! I’ll call you prolly when this live review
iz saving or somethin’. I need ta get my grub on!! I’ll also not post this text
version of tha review ‘til I get tha live one saving!! I’m proud of ya, Sheff,
and it’s a blessing ta be connected
wit you!!
