Review #1,342: Big Blaze "2nd Shot Promo"

Reviewed on 12.05.2013 (Review #1,342)


A Bloc Munstarz (I think I got tha right label) release, here… Big Blaze 2nd Shot Promo iz what I finna review, right now! I’m sure this’ll be great, in its own lane!! It came out last year; I’m not sure why I missed it? Start Time: 8:59 PM | End Time: 9:52 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 (DJ Rob Xclusive)
>>> I feel real anticipated wit this Blaze beat in tha background! Blaze, you’re real talented!! Always stay in tha undaground!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Call Tha Ambulance” Feat. Cash Flow & Trilla Trill
!-to-tha-!-to-tha-!! >>> I thought this would be more hyper, but it’s you in your lane, all tha way!! Just luv how you come through wit your voice and tha undaground-soundin’ beat!!! Nice job wit you on tha 1st verse, Blaze, strictly havin’ fun wit a title like this!! Here comes tha 2nd verse (Cash Flow), comin’ through wit a lil’ more hyperness in tha voice! Tryna re-inact “September 11” wit how he comin’ through; gotta feel how he anticipates a fight! Got Trilla Trill on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit nice shit. Of course, I’m crazy about Gunplay right now, so I can appreciate tha gunplay-like lyrics he spittin’! Consistency wit tha delivered rhymes, all tha way to tha cold ending!! My Rating: 4.7


03. “Say That Then”
Ooh…? >>> Wow, gritty voice from you, here!! Reminds me of tha early 2000s southern music I grew up on, wit how this sounds, overall!! Hook sounds nice, too! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit tha 2nd verse; luv tha “need ta see ID” part and its consistent flow!! Yea, keep saggin’ ya “pants so low;” neva abide to stereotypes, feelin’ aged & laws! I’m only a ½ decade younger than you, and I grow at a slow pace! Wow, 3rd verse comin’ through wit dat hoarse voice!!! Ribbit, ribbit, rofl? Keep it goin’!!! My Rating: 4.6


04. “Now That I’m On” Feat. Trilla Trill & Cash Flow
>>> Really feelin’ tha beat start!! Catchy song; feelin’ tha hook! A “helicopter” start wit tha 1st verse, wit Trill comin’ through wit dat coptin’­ sound! He on tha “interstate” and err-thang! Cash Flow countin’ “paypa” on tha 2nd verse, here; nice flow on tha beat! Let’s see what you got goin’ on wit tha 3rd verse, Blaze… Okay, in tha fuckin’ mode, here; that’s big for a big dude like you, right? #bigmoments My Rating: 4.0


05. “We ‘Bout 2 Ack” Feat. Trayne & Teflon Da Terrabull
Wow @ tha name changes? No more “Young” for Trayne & Teflon, who was a Pit, turns into a Terrabull!! >>> Feelin’ tha dark, undaground feelin’ of tha streetz, here! “Raggedy ratchet!” Feelin’ how you anticipatin’ how you wanna do someone in throughout tha 1st verse, Blaze! Yea, time ta “ack a ass” on tha hook; feelin’ it! Trayne on tha 2nd verse? Sounds nice; consistent shit! Sounds like he makes tha 225 enlight, like it neva gets old!! I hope that’s tha case ‘cause I’m six years into my Louisiana connection, still havin’ trouble findin’ tha person to go with me to visit Louisiana, for tha 1st time! Yea, Teflon on tha 3rd verse (wow, Trayne’s voice iz less-deep); great shit, here! My Rating: 4.4


06. “Really Ill”
>>> Sounds nice, so far; nothin’ much to say, but good 1st verse, so far! Ooh @ 1:03, where you start rappin’ fast! I like how that came outta nowhere! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too! And, tha 3rd verse, too! I think with tha hook, it comes outta nowhere, so everything blends in together! Feelin’ that “I’m stoppin’ flow like traffic lights” shit near tha end, too! You even said it twice! My Rating: 4.1


07. “TKO” Feat. Yella & Lil’ Buddy
Yella = Lil’ Yella? Did we lose a “Lil’”, this time? >>> Hearin’ tha old beat tag from Big Wayne, this must be an old beat (of course, tha pattern—normal times (before tha threatening)! I gotta get tha years from you so I can log everything, since I’m backin’ up my files that I got from this year! And, that Yella = Yella Yella (tha one wit JokaBoi), I assume. Anyway, nice job wit tha hook and 1st verse; it’s all about tha crazy vibe!! Tha 2nd verse nice, too! A Lil’ Buddy verse on tha 3rd verse… Of course, tha old dayz wit those great voices, deep within tha 225! Tha crazy shit continues wit tha 4th verse, too, combining both Yella & Lil’ Buddy on tha verse! Whoo!! Got you also, Big Blaze!! My Rating: 4.6


08. “Money Talks” Feat. Jay Da Talent
>>> Sounds like a black Paul Wall at first, here… This ain’t bad; tha beat’s nice and undaground ta hold y’all down! Tha 2nd verse nice, too; good shit! My Rating: 4.2


½time: Wow, ½way through, already? Nice and consistent lil’ CD, so far! Of course, you got shit goin’ on wit your great, undaground productions and features!! Keep this shit up: 4.4 for tha CD rating, currently!


09. “Y’all Pussy” Feat. Hatch Boy & Big Bandit
Looks like a great collab! >>> “Goodies” beat? Oh, at least it rewinded! Oh wait, it’s not a joke; damn. Ehh, I dunno; at least tha vibe’s here… I know this 2004 or somethin’. Tha 1st verse’s nice and tha hook’s good, too, but more of a borderline guilty pleasure, for me, due to tha beat. Hearin’ Hatch on tha 2nd verse, and he sounds good/consistent, as always! A bad Bandit on tha 3rd verse, here, “not givin’ a fuck” if “your momma cryin’!” Nice verses, but c’mon, no mixtape beats! #blushes My Rating: 3.8


10. “Haterblockers” Feat. N.I.P., Bengie B, Gangsta, Lady Lex, Co. G & Suge
Wow, got tha “Out My Socks” dudes as a part of tha feature! Glad to see them back—or, this might be a lil’ older than I think it iz? Either way, I’m anticipated!! >>> Yea, this gotta be older wit tha sound, as well as #7 & #9 givin’ tha #TBT vibe away! But, once again, N.I.P. delivers anotha classic-soundin’ hook! It’s just how he comes through on tha hook and beat, together! Also, he sounds great on tha 1st verse, here; glad he always feelin’ fucked-up, just havin’ tha best of tha best times! Got you on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit a good vibe! Yea, “pop ‘em two by two!” Gotta luv how that’s how you “pop” tha pillz, as well as tha “haterz!” Bengie on tha 2nd verse? I’m goin’ by tha order of tha features, here… Ehh, it’s an okay verse. This Gangsta on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse? Definitely feelin’ tha verse!! Those old vibes before everyone wanted to make tha ‘same,’ mainstream-soundin’, shyin’-away-from-Baton-Rouge’s-classic-soundin’-vibe!! Oh wait, that sounds like Gangsta on tha 3rd part of tha 2nd verse; great shit!! Wait, who this on tha 4th part? LOL, I’m so confused, but I’m lovin’ all tha features all over tha place!! Reminds me of tha old dayz of 2008 wit tha reviewz, where I had no clue who was who!! And, who’s this on tha 5th part, lol? Everything’s nice!! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Heaters” Feat. Trally Boy
Nice collab, again! >>> Nice beginning!! I like how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse, strictly havin’ haterz on your “nutsack!” That’s what’s up! This beat sounds like I’ve heard it before, but I don’t think it’s jacked…; or iz it? Seems so long ago to remember… Nice collaboration wit Trally, just spittin’ rhymes like a Max Minelli! Oh wait, it iz a slower-pitched version of “9mm;” I figured! I couldn’t even tell, at first! Speakin’ of that title, this January 23’ll mark six years since I had one to me! Think: I could’ve died, and only had three months of a Louisiana connection, knowin’ very few—and, like, none from Baton Rouge! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Put Yo Hood Up” Feat. Teflon Da Terrabull & C-IV
½ great feature, but ½ not thankin’ me for my awards! >>> This a familiar beat, too (T-Bo used it or somethin’); it’s all good, here, so let’s see how tha rhymes go… Nice shit from Teflon on tha 1st verse; can feel how much he anticipates B.A.N.s to come to him!! Nice hook wit puttin’ ya “number up;” kinda was like tha pre-“Put Your Numbers Up” (BluBlack & Pezie) joint? That’s what it reminds me of… Nice shit wit tha 2nd verse, too! Wow, since this iz you on tha 3rd verse, if that was C-IV on tha 2nd verse and/or hook, wow, it sounds good, and caught me off-guard! I almost was gonna say nothin’, but I couldn’t tell! This must’ve been back when he’d thank people for things! Anyway, here’s you on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit faster-soundin’ rhymes; definitely on-n-poppin’!! And, 32 seconds of silence at tha end…; not on-n-poppin’! My Rating: 4.3


13. “Tats & Golds”
Nice title! This year, you entered a new decade, too! >>> October 6, 2007 was, like, tha only day I saw “golds;” I hope to see more in tha future! I like how you hinted Brisco, as you were like, “I see you was lookin’ fa me.” Nice shit you got goin’ on wit tha 1st verse; sounds like regular rappin’, but tha production holds it down! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; do you eva run outta breath, lol? Nice shit!! My Rating: 4.5


14. “Go Hard” Feat. Da Hustlaz
Lookin’ forward to tha feature! >>> A rock-soundin’ beat start, here; iz this tha “Party Like A Rockstar” dayz, lol? Ooh @ tha hook, as you “go harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd, all night long!!” Great delivery!! Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit anotha anticipated fight! “Party from dusk! We party from dusk; all tha way ‘til dawn! All tha way ‘til dawn!” Gotta luv it! Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through like a drug virgin (“don’t smoke, don’t pop”)? That was me durin’ tha early dayz of my Louisiana connection, though I neva popped… Keepin’ tha Blaze vibe goin’ wit Da Hustlaz on tha 3rd verse! My Rating: 4.5


15. “Got It Made” Feat. $hizz
Bad anticipation for tha feature/song. You know I can’t comment on tha feature; I might still not get a job if people read feedback on someone who can’t take constructive criticism, smh! It just happened with one of my classmates’ shitty review, tha otha day! >>> A Young Hits production, here, but why tha fade-in intro? Low anticipation fa this… Yuck @ tha beginning; I made sure I paid attention to tha beginning, this time, and skipped it! Though I’m not a fan of “money” songs, at least this sounds old (way before I got robbed a ½ a stack by a BR dude), and it sounds like you got a lotta different kinds of “money” on tha 2nd verse! Damn, not tha 3rd verse, too? This was, like, a 50-second review or somethin’, smh… My Rating: 3.7


16. “I Betcha”
LOL, seems like this always appears on CDs! My Current Rating: 4.8


Overall: Wow, great CD!! Almost five stars, except tha jacked “Goodies” and $h(ater)izz—who likes auto-tune—got in tha way… But, very great, consistent CD!! Keep ‘em up!! Always stay loyal to tha 225 sound, your features, and tha production!!
