Review #1,613: Mia X "Unlady Like"

Reviewed on 1.27.2017 (Review #1,613)

Tryin’ to get more of these old CD reviewz done… Up next, Mia X Unlady Like, released in 1997 on No Limit Records & Priority Records… Start Time: 12:19 PM | End Time: 3:56 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “You Don’t Wanna Go 2 War” feat. Master P, C-Murder, Mystikal & Silkk The Shocker

KLC on tha beat! What a collab!! >>> Excellent lil’ “No Limit” hook and beat, here; nice job! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty gutta; gotta love tha energy! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from and it sounds pretty nice; definitely feelin’ what he bringin’! It’s all about tha energy—worldwide energy! Tha 3^rd verse’s pretty nice! A lil’ slower on tha flow but it’s nice ta hear… Hearin’ tha 4^th verse and it’s pretty nice with this energy! Gutta shit at its finest! Tha 5^th verse pretty energetic; Mystikal in tha buildin’! My Rating: 4.3

02. “The Party Don’t Stop” feat. Master P, Foxy Brown

Foxy? Craig B on tha beat! >>> Beat ain’t too bad, here; sounds nice on tha 1^st verse… tha hook’s pretty nice ta celebrate… Tha 2^nd verse P? Not credited? Sounds nice… A young lil’ Foxy on tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ nice! I like how she shouted out “P,” here! Definitely diggin’ tha X-rated shit, at times! “NY to N.O.!” Fuckin’ right! That’ll be me in a few months, hopefully! My Rating: 4.4

03. “I Pitty U”

O’Dell beat! >>> Diggin’ tha creepy beat start, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice ta hear… Tha hook’s pretty nice wit how you “pitty” ‘em, ova this slow, intense beat! Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice wit how you depictin’ this hood story… My Rating: 4.2

04. “Who Got Tha Clout” feat. Mystikal

O’Dell beat… >>> Beat’s a lil’ more jammin’, here, with you doin’ ya thang on tha 1^st verse… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s a nice lil’ turntable-like scratch, here… And, Mystikal rapidly comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse, here, deliverin’ tha rhymes fast like a fast car! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse and it’s great from tha both of y’all! Y’all make a great, No Limit collab at all times!! My Rating: 4.3

05. “Ain’t 2 Be Played Wit”

Craig B beat! >>> Beat ain’t bad; sounds good to rap on… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s nice ta hear… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like a nice lil’ jam for tha hood… Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice, here; keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.1

06. “Unladylike”

KLC beat! >>> After 1:19, here comes tha 1^st verse; decent beginning… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it ain’t bad, here; decent… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it ain’t too bad, here… And, enough room for a 3^rd verse, here, keepin’ it goin’… My Rating: 3.7

07. Intro

Tha “Intro” @ #07? >>> Weird that it’s #07 but it’s a good lil’ intro, I guess? My Rating: N/A

08. “I’ll Take Ya Man ‘97” feat. Salt N Pepa & Hurby Luv Bug

Salt N Pep? KLC on tha beat… >>> Beat’s ehh; plain? An okay hook with just a party-type beat… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s whateva… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s tha same; let’s just let this pass on by… Tha 3^rd verse, too; it iz what it iz… My Rating: 3.3

09. “Let’s Get It Straight” feat. Mystikal
… >>> A lil’ more of a street vibe, here, with an upbeat twist… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like you representin’, here… Ooh, an uncredited Mystikal on tha hook, here! Definitely nice ta hear! Really feelin’ your energy on tha 2^nd verse! Definitely “rowdy, rowdy,” like you say! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse from you and it ain’t bad… I thought how you came on tha 2^nd verse was definitely classic and somethin’ that couldn’t be topped! My Rating: 4.3

10. “4ever TRU” feat. C-Murder, Master P & Silkk The Shocker
Craig B beat! >>> Beat sounds nice, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it ain’t too bad, here; props for tha aggression! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice! Definitely nice to have this “TRU” shit on-n-poppin’! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s anotha uncredited Master P verse? Sounds nice ta hear… Tha 3^rd verse sounds like a nice verse, too. “Would you take a bullet for ya homie?” When I’d hear lines like that, I used to always think, “That’s crazy! Who would do that for me?” Lil’ did I know, I’d meet my best friend, Cory, who claims to “take tha charge” if we were to get in trouble! Talk about loyalty!! Hearin’ tha 4^th verse and it’s pretty consistent wit this faster rappin’! Definitely anotha dope collab! My Rating: 4.2

½time: Nice CD, so far, Mia! A 4.1-rated CD; let’s keep it goin’!!

11. “Bring Da Drama” feat. Big Ed & Mr. Serv-On

Craig B on tha beat, again! >>> Beat’s pretty serious, here; nice job… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s a “TRU” representation, here! Definitely nice ta hear! Tha hook’s pretty nice and gutta; gotta feel it! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and these rhymes are consistent! Definitely feelin’ what Mr. Serv-On bringin’ to tha table for you, here! My Rating: 4.3

12. “All Ns”

Craig B doin’ anotha one! >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ bounce anthem; decent hook… Tha beat’s sound and remake sounds dope, here, on tha hook! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s jammin’… Tha rest of this kinda drags but it ain’t bad… My Rating: 3.5

13. “Mama’s Family” feat. Fiend, KLC, Kane, Abel, Mac & Mr. Serv-On

Craig B keepin’ ‘em comin’! >>> Beat sounds nice fa a regular-paced track… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and I’m diggin’ some of these rhymes… Tha hook aight; just anotha representation of tha “click.” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s nice ta hear this come-up from tha struggle… Tha 3^rd verse has good rhymes fa tha streetz, even tho a lil’ dry with tha flow… A 4^th verse, here, with a decent sound… Tha 5^th verse has a plain flow but great rhymes for tha streetz, once again… And, a 6^th verse, soundin’ good, as well… Definitely sounds like some dope rhymes, tho! My Rating: 3.8

Intermission: I really wanna nap… I only got #14 - #20 left on here, but need to regroup… I may hang out when I get up, or I may finish this? I’m not sure which route to go… *Takes a break from tha review at 1:11 PM…* *Wakes up and returns at 3:29 PM…*

14. “I Don’t Know Why” feat. Mo B. Dick & Dawn Vickers

! >>> A slower jam with a decent beat… Hearin’ you singin’ in tha beginning, here, and it ain’t bad… After singin’, you’re rappin’, here, and it’s a good story about survivin’ tha struggle… Hearin’ tha hook with Mo B. and it sounds like a catchy lil’ song to determine what gon come next outta life… My Rating: 3.9

15. “Hoodlum Poetry”

Craig B, here… >>> Even tho I’m super-bored listenin’ to this, at tha moment, this nice for a “poetry” start… Way too long!!! I called my boy in between tryna listen to this! My Rating: 2.3

16. “Rainy Dayz”

Beats By The Pound doin’ this beat… >>> A slow beat; not bad… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good gettin’ through tha “rainy dayz.” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you and it’s not bad; feelin’ how you movin’ through this rain… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it ain’t bad wit what you spittin’, here… I’ono, but since I woke up, this CD got all slow and boring? Like, this why I don’t like takin’ intermissions on CDs! Tha 3^rd verse keeps this movin’, as well… My Rating: 3.1

17. “Mommie’s Angels” feat. Mo B. Dick, Kenya Miller & Lawand Johnson

Craig B & Mo B. Dick doin’ this track… >>> Anotha slow track… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s aight… Hearin’ tha hook and okay, I get it, singin’; decent. However, I thought I was doin’ a rap CD review marathon??? Tha rest iz ehh…; why? My Rating: 2.5

18. “You & Me” feat. O’Dell & TC

>>> Beat ain’t bad; almost sounds like one of my attempts with tha bassline? Decent rappin’ from you, here, as it’s anotha slower track… My Rating: 3.6

19. “R.I.P. Jil”
>>> Sucks that you lost your “sister;” sucks that I lost my brother… That’s anotha reason why I wanna get this old CD marathon done with; deserves to be complete! Decent rhymin’ and even tho tha slower jamz deserve to be at tha end, it’s still not tha best for me… My Rating: 3.2

20. “Thank You” feat. Mercedes, TC & Mo B. Dick

KLC & O’Dell on tha beat… >>> And, it ends with singin’; I’ll leave it at that!! Nice reversed-soundin’ beat, tho! I’ll rate this, since there’s singin’ in it! My Rating: 3.5

Overall: Was a good CD, at first, and then, it got weird with tha slow tracks toward tha end… Either way, nice effort, at least? Nice production throughout this CD…
