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 1st verse and it’s pretty gutta; gotta love tha energy! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from and it sounds pretty nice; definitely feelin’ what he bringin’! It’s all about tha energy—worldwide energy! Tha 3rd verse’s pretty nice! A lil’ slower on tha flow but it’s nice ta hear… Hearin’ tha 4th verse and it’s pretty nice with this energy! Gutta shit at its finest! Tha 5th 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 1st verse… tha hook’s pretty nice ta celebrate… Tha 2nd verse P? Not credited? Sounds nice… A young lil’ Foxy on tha 3rd 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 1st 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 2nd 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 1st verse… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s a nice lil’ turntable-like scratch, here… And, Mystikal rapidly comin’ through on tha 2nd verse, here, deliverin’ tha rhymes fast like a fast car! Hearin’ tha 3rd 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 1st verse and it’s nice ta hear… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like a nice lil’ jam for tha hood… Tha 2nd verse’s pretty nice, here; keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.1


06. “Unladylike”
KLC beat! >>> After 1:19, here comes tha 1st verse; decent beginning… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it ain’t bad, here; decent… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it ain’t too bad, here… And, enough room for a 3rd 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 1st verse and it’s whateva… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s tha same; let’s just let this pass on by… Tha 3rd 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 1st 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 2nd verse! Definitely “rowdy, rowdy,” like you say! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse from you and it ain’t bad… I thought how you came on tha 2nd 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 1st 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 2nd verse and it’s anotha uncredited Master P verse? Sounds nice ta hear… Tha 3rd 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 4th 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 1st verse and it’s a “TRU” representation, here! Definitely nice ta hear! Tha hook’s pretty nice and gutta; gotta feel it! Hearin’ tha 2nd 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 1st 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 1st verse from you and I’m diggin’ some of these rhymes… Tha hook aight; just anotha representation of tha “click.” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s nice ta hear this come-up from tha struggle… Tha 3rd verse has good rhymes fa tha streetz, even tho a lil’ dry with tha flow… A 4th verse, here, with a decent sound… Tha 5th verse has a plain flow but great rhymes for tha streetz, once again… And, a 6th 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 1st verse from you and it’s not bad; feelin’ how you movin’ through this rain… Hearin’ tha 2nd 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 3rd 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 1st 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…
