Review #1,400: DJ Tank "The Return Vol. 2"

Reviewed on 5.23.2014 (Review #1,400)

Got anotha review comin’ up: DJ Tank The Return Vol. 2; here’s some mo bounce remixes/music… And, I can’t believe it took under a year, especially at these times, to reach 1,400 reviewz! Start Time: 4:29 PM | End Time: 5:47 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. Josephine Donald Feat. CBB K Gunna & Devn “Intro”

A beat by yourself, Tank; lookin’ forward ta this “intro!” >>> Dope! Really diggin’ tha voice, here, includin’ tha slammin’ bounce beatz!! “K Gunna, and I run this track;” yeah! Real nice part at 1:11 wit tha “makin’ ‘em—makin’ ‘em…!!” I’ll rate it and consider it a track; nice job! My Rating: 4.6

02. Rihanna Feat. Future “Loveeeeeee Song (DJ Tank & DJ Taz Mix)”

Gay song, but let’s see how this mix’ll do (2^nd bounce mix I’m hearin’)… >>> Of course, gay on tha vocals, but once again, tha bounce vibes pull through. Kinda long and boring, when remixes like this get to be over three minutes long… My Rating: 3.1

03. Celine Dion “Because You Loved Me (DJ Tank Mix)”

LOL, I remember you postin’ this on your Facebook. Who would’ve thought this would’ve made a mixtape? >>> LOL, regular-paced vocals, and it sounds pretty entertainin’ wit all this fast-ass bounce shit, lol! No matter if this iz 4:58, this iz jammin’ and not boring, mainly ‘cause of tha lolness, lol! LOL @ tha original, “Yeahhhhh,” part at 3:59! My Rating: 4.5

04. Josephine Donald “Wasn’t That You”

A production from DJ Tank; you know what it iz!! >>> Sounds nice; good shit!! Anotha bounce-soundin’ anthem; this Josephine dude holdin’ shit down fa tha 504, in tha 2010’s! And, I like that lil’ tease of “Gangster’s Paradise” in tha beat, at times! Nice “Bahrrrrrrrrrrrrrahah” shit! LOL @ tha Destiny’s Child “So Good” sample around 2:30! Pump It Or Dump It dayz of 2000 & 2001!! My Rating: 4.5

05. Future Feat. Kelly Rowland “Neva End (DJ Tank Mix)”
LOL @ no “D” on Kelly’s last name! Anyway, even this was on that previous bounce tape I reviewed, last year (which came afta this one: Joe Wit Da Dreadz Star Dat Vol. 3)… >>> Again, it has tha boring, long length; goes good wit tha Rihanna collaboration, though I think that one was catchier… My Rating: 2.6

06. Rihanna “Diamonds (DJ Tank Mix)”
>>> Likin’ tha bounce sample ta start this off… It’s decent fa this song; nothin’ too special… Damn, 23 seconds of silence at tha end? Not cool; ruined tha consistency…! Good thing I can just cut it out in my audio-editing program! My Rating: 2.8

07. Marques Houston “Circle (DJ Tank Mix)”

An artist that’s a blast from tha past… >>> This one’s aight, too… Nice bounce-rappin’ at tha end! My Rating: 3.0

08. Keedy Black “Come Into My Bedroom”

Here we are, wit DJ Tank on tha beat! >>> Nice voice in tha beginning, wit The Pussycat Dolls “I Hate This Part” for tha beat sample’s start… Seems like tha sample tha whole way ‘round? Decent; it switched up to “If I Were A Boy” or one of those beats, right after… LOL, I like that, “Ooh, she bust it—ooh, she bust it,” part, as well as tha “hammer… / bananas!” part, lol! Dumb shit!! “My leg!! My leg!!,” lol! Great, entertainin’ shit here, even with tha samples! My Rating: 4.6

09. The Weeknd “Wicked Games (DJ Tank & DJ Taz Mix)”
LOL @ spellin’ his name like “Weekend”! >>> Really long with 5:35 on tha length, but this sounds good, fa tha start. I just hope it doesn’t get boring with its long length… This sounds pretty good, still, 2:21 in; keep it goin’! LOL @ tha “bring tha drugs, baby…” Nice, tha whole way ‘round! My Rating: 4.0

½time: I think this mixtape’s pretty nice; very consistent wit tha bounce vibes, once again! Y’all new bounce people know how ta make shit consistent! Feelin’ a good portion of tha remixes and once again, tha original versions are on-n-poppin’!! So far, a 3.7 for tha CD rating; keep it goin’!

10. DJ Tank “Women Mix 2013 (DJ Tank Mix)”

Let’s see what we got here… >>> You doin’ some remixin’/blendin’; feelin’ tha ‘90s R&B in tha beginning, here! Nice job, tha whole way ‘round; I’m diggin’ this. My Rating: 3.7

11. John Mayer “Dreaming With A Broken Heart (DJ Tank Mix)”

>>> Kinda slow fa tha start… Doesn’t really sound like John Mayer, here…; it sounds more R&B… Why iz this shit 4:55? Really boring; nothin’ really goin’ on, here, with tha vocals, and tha fast bounce beat ain’t rescuin’ it… Okay, so, are tha final two minutes gonna be just a beat? Okay, now, it sounds like him; *yawn…* Waste of time, here… My Rating: 1.1

12. ST Reedy “This Beat Is Bananas”

Looks nice, here, wit you on tha beat!! >>> LOL, a lil’ bit of “Hollaback Girl” on tha beat intro! Whoo @ tha “brrrrrrrah” shit, again!! LOL, Jill Scott’s “He Loves Me” comes back, outta nowhere, fa this mixtape! It randomly appeared throughout tha verses, and it sounds nice, too! Talk about insanity!!! My Rating: 4.6

13. Marques Houston “Naked (DJ Tank Mix)”
Him again… >>> He only sounds aight on these bounce remixes; could’ve gotten someone else, and didn’t need to have him on here twice. My Rating: 2.1

14. Elm Boy Peg “Everybody Wanna Make Beats”

This looks anticipatin’; it even looks like ‘80s Louisiana rap, or somethin’, lol! >>> Pretty nice, old skool-soundin’ style, wit tha voice/acapella! And, a Rihanna “You Da One” background sample of tha hook, too; random… And, some “In The Air Tonight”, too, lol! LOL, it switched right back ta “You Da One”! My Rating: 4.2

15. Rihanna “You Da One (DJ Tank Mix)”
LOL, you couldn’t get away from it? >>> Kinda goes with tha previous song… Kinda boring, but at least it’s only 3:38… My Rating: 2.3

16. TLC “Red Light Special (DJ Tank & DJ One3 Mix)”
Yea, here we go! >>> Kinda sounds weird wit tha original version’s beat playin’, throughout this bounce remix’s beats… This iz really long and boring; could’ve been much betta… My Rating: 1.2

17. ST Reedy “This Beat Bananas (Remix)”
LOL, this again! Yay! You on tha beat! >>> Tha original version sounded much betta; this just has bounce beats in it, instead of certain elements I was diggin’ (like, tha “Hollaback Girl” sample). Also, reusing shit from tha previous edition (“Officially Missing You” sample)? Naw… LOL, Linkin Park “In The End”, too? Why do a few of these tracks end wit Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” laugh? My Rating: 3.6

18. Melanie Fiona “Wrong Side Of A Love Song (DJ Tank Mix)”

>>> Just anotha random R&B song remixed, here… My Rating: 2.5

19. Blakey B “Guess She Found Out”

Endin’ wit an original production from you & Flipset Fred, here; let’s get it! >>> Regular, 2010’s bounce, here; diggin’ it… Yuck @ tha “I’m Sprung” sample in tha background… My Rating: 3.5

Overall: I seem to have liked this one less than tha previous effort. Tha 1^st ½ was pretty good, but then, it was just gettin’ boring and long. Either way, keep up tha great work!
