Review #1,343: Foxx "Cold Blooded"

Reviewed on 12.05.2013 (Review #1,343)

Got Foxx up next, Milliyone Musik’s own…; my review for Cold Blooded! I was ‘pose to review this during tha summer. However, I didn’t have a tracklist. Now, I found titles through tha MilliyoneMusikMafia YouTube page, so we’ll see if I can put err-thang together! I have 24 possible titles, so for a 21-track CD, I hope I get ‘em all! Start Time: 11:38 PM | End Time: 12:57 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. “Man In The Mirror”

Let’s see which one gon start it off… >>> Wow @ tha beat start!!! This one ‘bout an “Ol’ Skool”… Oh, it makes sense how I grabbed tha titles, as I found “Man In The Mirror”’s title, first. So, here it iz! Of course, tha hook’s pretty catchy and you doin’ ya thang wit tha 1^st verse, here! “Mixtape”? Why not an album? Oh, I guess Street Gossip 2’ll be it. So, you dropped this “February 25”? I think it came out after, lol. I have to admit, thanx to my exclusiveness, props fa you & Stryker Joe reachin’ out ta me! My Rating: 4.7

02. “Molly”

Let’s see if this gon be “Molly”! >>> Intro sounds like it, with Cal on tha beat! Feelin’ how you on this “Molly” on tha 1^st verse; wish you would’ve sounded fucked up on tha mic, lol! Gotta feel how you “took too many Mollies!” I like how you say, “Molly, Molly, Ma-Molly…;” kinda sounds like an old song! Keepin’ tha drug and sex goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse; definitely feelin’ it!! My Rating: 4.5

03. “One Way” Feat. Lil’ Cal

I think I can put tha titles in tha correct order now. Let’s see how this collaboration goes… >>> Comin’ through wit Cal on tha beat/you on tha intro. I have to admit—though they untagged me in a review I showed them luv in—I’m feelin’ this slow beat fa tha “hood,” a lot! Oh, I got fooled wit tha title. I thought this was “Yo Hood”, but it’s “One Way”. Tha hook’s pretty nice; feelin’ how you talk about how “one day, we beefin’. Next day, you wanna be cool,” as far as “fake daps.” People do that ta me. It’s like, I’m not gonna forget how tha person fucked me over… Anyway, Cal on tha 2^nd verse; good or not, should I even take my time to give feedback? I can’t get passed that untagging. Was it an accident? Anyway, nice job wit tha 3^rd verse, Foxx! Nice acapella with tha remaining eight barz! My Rating: 4.5

04. “Yo Hood” Feat. Money Bagz

>>> Lil’ Cal track, again… Nice beginning; “O.A.K.” representin’, here! Oh, now, it’s “Yo Hood”, lol! Sounds good; nice hook and how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse! Feelin’ tha #TBT topics, hence tha weekday! Got tha 2^nd verse, here, as you’re comin’ through wit some “shotgun”/“hood”-type content! Gotta feel it… Speakin’ of tha previous uncomfortable feelin’ of reviewin’, I think I have anotha uncomfortable feelin’ fa tha 3^rd verse, here… I still neva heard from $$$ Bagz when I mailed him my 2011 awards. It’s like, what about tha thanks? You want me to quit? Almost seems like tha survey says that I’m tha big loser who spends $100s every year on my awards; I know I have ta let it go soon! With that bein’ said, no feedback until I hear back from my awards—it’s about 700 dayz later, now! My Rating: 4.2

05. “Them People”

>>> At least with you, Foxx, you don’t let tha beat tags slide; it’s you that tells us who’s on tha beat (in this case, Lil’ Cal)! That’s how it used ta be! Tha beat’s not bad, here; sounds good wit you bein’ on them “Xanabarz!” This one’s “Them People”; I’m feelin’ tha paranoia of cops bein’ “behind [y’all]!” Catchy-ass hook! Thank God I’m a cop-incident virgin, but not a ticket virgin (as, on November 21, 2011, I got a $10 parking ticket from tha cops. I thought I was parked in tha college, but I blocked an unnoticeable crosswalk right outside tha college). Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, here; keep escaping!! Tha 3^rd verse sounds good, here; sounds like you luv your “city” of Baton Rouge, huh? You travel often? My Rating: 4.6 (thanx to tha hook and content, my rating’s pretty high, here!)

06. “Instagram” Feat. Lil’ One

Let’s see, here… >>> Must be “Instagram”, based off tha intro? I was just thinkin’ ‘bout you and tha “Chicken Wang” joint, yesterday, how crazy you come through wit content, at times! I think this gon be one of those kinda jointz… Sounds like an ass-shaker anthem; nice beat ta provide that! Catchy hook, and you doin’ ya thang on tha 1^st verse! BTW, I went on your “Instagram,” and I don’t think you were active; do you got a new one? Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, here, as you got many people “wit [you].” Next up, a Bad Azz Lil’ One, here, on tha 3^rd verse… Sounds like he havin’ fun on “Instagram,” in tha club. Thumbs up; it sounds nice. My Rating: 4.5

07. “My Dog”

Let’s see what we got here… >>> Switchin’ up tha production to a Deezy On Da Beat beat; let’s see how this turns out… Yup, it’s “My Dog”. Feelin’ tha hook and beat, definitely! However, I can neva relate to these songs ‘cause I don’t know what a ‘friend/homie,’ or betta yet, “dog,” iz! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse! Too bad Baton Rouge iz fulla self-centered people, so technically, I don’t think I have any “dogz.” Nice 2^nd verse, too… More rhymes comin’ outta tha 3^rd verse… Though I feel this iz kinda long, it’s not too boring… My Rating: 4.2

08. “Fuck It Then” Feat. DJ B-Real

If this iz “Fuck It Then”, then let’s just get this over with… >>> Couldn’t’ve been a B-Real beat, huh? A J Buc beat! No wonder tha creative/instant-catchy sounds in tha beat!! Nice beat from Buc, and tha hook’s catchy! I thought B-Real would do tha hook, but I guess it gon be a verse. Oh, God, at least I can look back at tha date you said in tha intro: “February 25.” Actually, it was, like, a day later, where he called me, and was like, “I came from Foxx,” or somethin’. It was either then or March 8; I know it was tha winter. Wow, long hook? I’m likin’ this… Ehh, he’s on tha 1^st verse; too soon ta come! I thought it would be tha 2^nd verse… Of course, feelin’ it, but in a fantasy state of mind. When he said, “I be gettin’ stackz,” I just wailed a scream of embarrassment! Definitely made me feel uncomfortable, and makes me wanna get outta this music-promoting shit ASAP! This year’s ending, so it may happen! As far as you on tha 2^nd verse, it sounds great how you come through! Of course, this gon have a great rating from me, but I won’t take it too serious, and consider it a guilty pleasure. I prolly would’ve played it if I would’ve known about it during tha summer, but it’s just gonna be a hot song on here, instead. My Rating: 4.8

09. “My Ol’ Lady”

Keepin’ it goin’… >>> I like how tha beat sounds; trapped in BR! Feelin’ how you comin’ through wit tha hook, here! Tha 1^st verse and 2^nd verse sound great; nice job wit you gettin’ all these ladies! My Rating: 4.4

10. “Don’t Check Me” Feat. Dog

>>> I don’t like announcin’ uncomfortable people on tha beat, but I guess I will, here, to keep track of notes (Lil’ 627). Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and it sounds okay, so far… Just got catchier wit tha hook; I like how you repeatin’ tha title… Good job wit tha 2^nd verse, too… Hearin’ Dog on tha 3^rd verse, and it almost sounds like you can barely hear what he’s sayin’, at times… Either way, not bad. My Rating: 4.0

½time: Anotha consistent CD from you, Foxx!! Feelin’ every joint a lot!! You got a 4.4 for tha CD rating, currently!

11. “Walking Lick” Feat. $hizz

>>> Same producer, again… Not bad wit tha 1^st verse, here… Tha hook sounds catchy, too… Oh no, double dose of uncomfortableness wit tha 2^nd verse…; just skippin’ it, in my Justine perspective! Thank God there’s no auto-tune on it! Now, time ta recover wit you on tha 3^rd verse… Always representin’ fa tha hood at all times! My Rating: 4.1

12. “Is No Me”

>>> A cold start into tha 1^st verse, immediately, wit, “Blunt after blunt after blunt ain’t workin’.” Feelin’ tha starting line, though can you make this slow jam exciting? Hearin’ tha hook, and it’s a singer… Caught me off-guard, since there’s no one listed on tha feature… Ehh, a lil’ soft for a “mixtape,” quote, unquote. Tha 2^nd verse from you has a good flow; don’t you hate when you “call” and they don’t answer? A 3^rd verse fit, here… Sounds like guilty fighting, lol! Not that bad for a slow jam, surprisingly! My Rating: 3.8

13. “Warning” Feat. $hizz & DJ B-Real
Up next… >>> Wow, caught off-guard again!! Where’d this B-Real hook come outta?! Gotta luv how he delivered tha hook!! “Hold that shit down or they be smellin’ you;” crazy part!! Again, could’ve been anotha big hit if I would’ve known, earlier!! I bet B-Real did tha beat, too? Anyway, here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through, vibin’ on this beat! Damn, this ain’t wit Tank Jones, and I walked into an uncomfortable $hizz on tha 2^nd verse… Bleh, at least it ain’t wack! I was too zoned inta this joint that I didn’t even skip tha verse! But, it shall lose to “Fuck It Then”… Now that I’m thinkin’ of it, I don’t think I would’ve been able to play it since $hizz was on it, unless I was to make a “No $hizz Edit”… It prolly would’ve gotten 100s of spins & #1 on my playlists spots if that was tha case! My Rating: 4.7

14. “Beat Dat Pussy” Feat. Lil’ Cal & Dog

>>> Cal on tha beat… Yada-yada-type shit, as Cal prolly puts “pussy” above me. Realizing how unimportant I am in this industry iz anotha reason why I won’t last… Wow, hook sounds real slow; really feelin’ tha slow-ass vibe! Good job wit tha 2^nd verse, too! Wow, this joint iz long… LOL, this CD’s startin’ ta leave out features! Here comes an unlisted Dog on tha 3^rd verse… I luv how err-body can have sex and “pussy” like it’s nothin’. My Rating: 4.2

15. “Hold Sumthin’” Feat. Dog & Lil’ Cal

>>> 627 beat. Startin’ off wit Dog, here; sounds good how he comin’ through on this beat. Even on tha hook, too; catchy, Dog, and I can hear you betta than your first appearance on here! Got Cal on tha 2^nd verse… Great voice when he comes through; why’d he have ta throw confusion toward me? Save tha best for last, as you’re on tha 3^rd verse, here… Consistent rhymes; lol @ tha “no skeletons.” My Rating: 4.1

16. “Fuckin’ Problem”
What do we got, here? >>> ROFL, I could’ve sworn it was Music Choice: Rap in tha background, since they still play this song three times a day! LOL, rappin’ off this beat, huh? Not bad, but it don’t come close to tha humor tha original brings! As for this, tha consitent rhymes are here… Then again, I don’t think there should be room for freestyles! My Rating: 3.7

17. “Just Stop It”

>>> Here we go…; “All Gold Everything” beat. I’m likin’ tha “God” parts in tha hook; this a much-betta remake than tha “Fuckin’ Problem”! Don’t you luv your gunz, huh? LOL @ tha “popped a nigga, I’m sweatin’” part. I sung that part, a few hours ago… What did I say…? Umm… Oh, “popped a banana, I’m droolin’,” when eating a banana at night (thinkin’ that it’d make me drool, since it was way after a meal than before a meal). My Rating: 4.0

18. “Bulletproof”

>>> Wow, “went ta jail five times this year”? I ain’t even see anything about it! This a quick joint; I gon say that this iz “They Say”? Lemme check tha lengths on tha YouTube uploads… Okay, I don’t know this one; hate to leave tha title blank… My Rating: 3.6

EDIT: After multiple people I contacted, luckily, Foxx's cousin (from tha MilliyoneMusikMafia YouTube page) replied back, and said it's "Bulletproof".

19. “Warning” Feat. DJ B-Real

>>> Again, lol? Quality’s much louder… Funny how I wished for a “No $hizz Edit” and here’s one!! Talk about a bonus!! See #13 fa tha review!

20. “Bad Bitch”
>>> Ehh, Doe beat; why a beat tag? I hate this brainwashed world!! Sounds like this be ‘bout a “bad bitch.” Feelin’ tha energy you bringin’ to tha table, here! Nice job wit tha 1^st verse and hook! Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice, too! Regardless, I just gon call this “Bad Bitch”. It’s just you on this track, as you’re on tha 3^rd verse, too… Nice job, as you neva run outta energy! My Rating: 4.4

21. “Street Credit Check (Level Diss)”

Final joint. I heard there was a Level diss or somethin’; I wonder if it’s this… >>> Nice speech in tha beginning, but here comes tha 627ness, again… Yes, this iz tha Level diss! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this! Talk about fucked-up: Everytime I tried ta hit Level up, he wouldn’t answer me, unless he was gettin’ somethin’ from me. I mailed him all tha awards he got from me from 2009 – 2012, earlier in January, and he ain’t even hit me up when he got ‘em!! How fuckin’ fake iz that?! Also, I called him one day, and he didn’t answer my call or text; he answered EQ, instead! Talk about not showin’ luv ta err-body! That ain’t gon get him anywhere! Gotta show luv ta 1,000s like me!! Also, one thing I don’t get: Him & Gunplay’s booking prices are only $500 apart? $500? Gunplay wit one of tha biggest in tha game, iz on TV, and everywhere. Level? Didn’t he fall off or somethin’? Why would his booking price be $500 less than Gunplay? So fuckin’ weird! Now that I laid my two cents down, I’m glad ta hear your two cents, Foxx! Hope we talk more than how much I talked to Level! Currently, Level has answered me 4x, only talking for 10 minutes, 40 seconds, and haven’t talked since June 3, 2010. With you, so far, we’ve talked 2x, for a grand total of 7 minutes, 20 seconds! Almost there, Foxx! Our last talk was on November 1, 2013. Once again, nice exposin’! I also have ta add, too: Who doesn’t answer texts in 2013? Talk about Level fallin’ on his face! It ain’t hard ta answer a text, right? My Rating: 4.1

Overall: Well, I’m glad I got ta review this! Although I ain’t know what #18 was called, this whole CD jammed tha whole way ‘round!! Even if I rated a few songs under a 4, they still jam!! Very consistent, even through tha uncomfortable features and producers that were on here! Keep doin’ you! I see you got a new mixtape, Shake Back, out. I have it, but I have six reviewz to get to before I get to it. I may get to them tomorrow; we’ll see how tha day goes!
