Review #1,374: Gunplay "Acquitted"

Reviewed on 1.26.2014 (Review #1,374)

My final Gunplay review I got, right chea! Released on June 10, 2013 on Maybach Music Group, this my review for Acquitted; lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! Start Time: 12:38 PM | End Time: 1:09 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

Time ta get inta this!! >>> I remember this news story; I used tha footage to create your music video verse to tha “Heaven Or Hell (Remix)” in my Top 50 Fall Anthems of 2013! Anyway, smh @ them pronouncin’ it “My-Bach,” smh… My Rating: N/A

02. “Salute Me” Feat. Peryon

Lookin’ forward ta this collab/person I neva heard of, before! >>> Sounds good for a start! Oh, it’s a singer on tha feature; not bad, and I like how he says, “whoadie.” A lil’ auto-tune on tha voice, but lucky, not gay-drilling to my ears! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit good rhymes/beatin’ dat charge! I like how your “ratchet got a slimy feel.” Tha 2^nd verse sounds good from you, too; real shit—I’m feelin’ what you goin’ through. My Rating: 4.1

03. “D.O.P.E.” Feat. Triple C’s

LOL @ just a “C”, once again, on tha feature! But, I’m definitely lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this collab!!! >>> “Dope” hook, so far; that style of yours that’s real catchy, when it comes ta these tracks!! “D.O.P.E.!” Even tha 1^st verse from you wit all this “dope” shit! Definitely a “D.O.P.E.” verse from you, Gunplay!! Let’s see who’s next… I wanna give him a big hug ‘cause he doin’ tha damn thang: Young Breed!!! He providin’ anotha “dope” verse, consistently, like you, Gunplay! Got dat boy Torch on tha 3^rd verse, consistently deliverin’ dat “dope!!” Almost sounds like Ross wit tha voice and flow, here, but at least it’s Torch! “Been a made nigga;” you know what it iz!! My Rating: 4.7

04. “Drop Da Tint”

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh!! Saw tha video on YouTube, and randomly added it just last month. Also, I neva knew MTV Jams made it one of their “Jam of the Week”s! Tha video makes me wanna move ta Florida and appreciate tha warm weather! As for tha song, sounds catchy how you deliver tha hook like someone anticipatin’ ta clap someone; grimy at its finest!! And, tha 1^st verse’s pretty gangsta wit everythang you spittin’, here! “Have ya pissin’ in ya jewels;” crazy!! Feelin’ tha 2^nd verse, too! “Fuck yo release date! I’m just that goon out dat Maybach platoon… I brought my gun and a blunt fa my lung…;” gotta luv ya!! My Current Rating: 4.7

05. “Been Did It” Feat. Ayo

Almost looks like Tony Yayo on tha feature, but it’s someone else; lookin’ forward! >>> I like those “I like this Maybach music” females in tha beginning, of some of these tracks. Oh, a “money” song? I dunno why, but how Ayo brings it, I’m feelin’ it! And, here you are on tha 1^st verse, everything you “know,” here! And, after you spit a quick verse, here y’all are on tha hook, comin’ through wit catchiness! Thought he was gon spit a verse, but here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit good shit. My Rating: 4.2

½time: Nice mixtape, so far; a 4.4-rated CD, currently!! Of course, keep holdin’ tha streetz down!!

06. “Get Like Me” Feat. Peryon & Quise

Let’s see, here… >>> Really diggin’ tha “smoke break” in tha beginning! A laidback-soundin’ beat, here; definitely diggin’ it wit that sample, too! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit a great, feelin’-fucked-up vibe! Hearin’ tha hook, and some of this shit sounds nice; okay lyrics, at times, but a nice vibe… Here’s tha 2^nd verse from this Quise dude, comin’ through wit some okay lyrics/vibe… My Rating: 4.0

07. “Cocaina (Que Linda)”

Nice title; let’s hear this cocaine anthem! >>> Sounds different wit holdin’ a note on tha hook; very catchy!! So far, so good; luv it!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and tha flow’s a lil’ typical, though you’re describin’ “tha ___,” which sounds good. Tha 2^nd verse goes wit tha 1^st verse fa me; not bad… However, a nice beat ending! My Rating: 4.4

08. “Topside” Feat. Young Scooter & Young Breed

*Smiles* Ooh, really lookin’ forward ta this collab!! How ‘bout a complete mixtape wit just you & Scooter? >>> Fade-in start… Beat’s on a typical-soundin’, mainstream rap level, but tha hook sounds catchy. Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit catchiness; I don’t mind some of this shit, right now… LOL, tha entertainin’-Scooter on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit regular rhymes, but he sounds so catchy, at all times!! And, my boy Breed on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit “dat dick up out ya dickies…;” wow @ bein’ tha chief in command, Breed! You might get tha key to a city like Pitbull, one day! My Rating: 4.2

09. “Pyrex”
Lemme hear… >>> Really likin’ tha intro beat!! “Cookin’ up a cookie;” luv how ya say dat, lol! Catchy hook, you “crooked” bastard, lol! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse, and this tha flow I like from you! You describin’ your drug-related scenes, and you comin’ through wit your “pyrex”-filled rhymes! LOL, Mr. Gunplay “Santa” on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through “like a December day;” you already know! My Rating: 4.6

10. “Bible On Tha Dash”

LOL, what an ending, again!!! You already know wit this one!! My Current Rating: 5.0

Overall: Well, because all tha jointz on this mixtape got at least a 4.0 rating, this CD’s worth five stars wit me!! I thought it was nice; you had some real catchy jointz on here, but tha surprise of tha CD was tha Young Scooter collab!! Keep up tha great work; I’ll be on time fa tha new CDs, baleedat!!
