Review #1,725: Karate Lukane "Alert"

Reviewed on 5.15.2017 (Review #1,725)

Finna go on an adventure to an abandoned turnpike later on today! For now, until my boy’s ready, lemme get inta this: Karate Lukane Alert, released last year on Chosen Few Entertainment! Neva heard of dude but shout out ta Way 3000 fa givin’ me this one! Start Time: 8:05 AM | End Time: 8:48 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 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. “Intro”
>>> Sounds like a decent beat start, here… And now, :55 in, here comes tha verse… Sounds like you got some good rhymes ta offer, here… And, an outro; kinda long fa an intro track of 3:05? My Rating: 3.7

02. “History”
>>> Sounds like a nice, slow track, here; good hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and you got some real-life shit goin’ on, here; I can dig it… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, too… My Rating: 3.9

03. “Knockout Artist” feat. Chris Snowden

>>> Sounds like anotha nice beat ta rap on… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and I’m feelin’ your 3D rhymes, here, as tha rhymes describe how you knock err-thang out… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty dope; feelin’ this “knockout” theme! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice ta hear, too; Chris got a future wit this shit, too! My Rating: 4.2

04. “Pressure”
>>> This gives me almost tha same vibe as tha previous joint, only I’m diggin’ this hook and beat a lil’ betta; definitely nice! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, here; gotta feel it… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, too… Glad you keepin’ it movin’ wit inflictin’ “pressure” on tha audience, here! Good shit tha rest of tha way; dope track! My Rating: 4.3

05. “Problems”
>>> A slower track, here, wit a catchy hook; all about dem “problems!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, here; no wack rhymes here! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ nice wit tha “mathematics” start; good shit… My Rating: 4.0

06. “My Own Lane”
>>> Sounds like anotha catchy track; groovy-kinda hook, here, “in [your] own lane!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ decent, here; glad you keepin’ it movin’… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, as well; once again, you keepin’ it movin’ nicely… My Rating: 3.8

½time: Nice lil’ CD, here; you got catchy tracks, hooks & production’s pretty nice… Overall, a 4.0-rated CD, currently; let’s continue!

07. “Goldilock”
>>> Almost sounds like an East Coast beat, here; let’s see how this one turns out… Hearin’ tha hook and it aight wit all this “callin’” shit… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s decent; I’ono how interested I am in hearin’ about a “goldilock,” tho… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, and it ain’t bad… My Rating: 3.4

08. “Bank Teller” feat. Yak

>>> I’ono, but this sounds like tha male version of “Goldilock” ta me, here, wit a similar-soundin’ hook and beat… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and ehh, not really into tha “money” shit, “stackin’ up” and all dat… Tha Yak dude on tha 2^nd verse and he sound like a typical rapper from this current generation… Nothin’ special, here, but I’d like to hear more in tha future… My Rating: 3.5

09. “Drip Drops”
>>> Hearin’ this singin’ hook and it sounds like somethin’ I ain’t gon feel; weird… A lil’ hidden beat sound I’m diggin’ throughout tha hook, tho; I’ll point dat out… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s funny wit some of these X-rated rhymes… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ decent; can’t complain, even tho this can be cheesy… My Rating: 3.5

10. “Do Yo Dance” feat. Goon

>>> Definitely sounds like a quality-soundin’, energetic beat, here! Nice lil’ hook, too! No matta tha simple, repetitive feel, as long as this beat’s on-n-poppin’, it’s on! Good 1^st verse, too, strictly for tha club, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty dope, too; can’t deny it! Good shit, Goon! And, a 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ good, too… My Rating: 4.2

11. “Amsterdam” feat. Chris Snowden

>>> Sounds like a nice beat and hook, here; let’s see what we got ta offer… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice from Chris, here… I’m diggin’ his “swerve”-type vibe on tha verse, here; gotta luv it! Keepin’ it movin’ wit you on tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ nice ta hear, too… My Rating: 3.7

12. “Death”
>>> Sounds like a nice hook and decent beat; I dig it… Of course, this tha type of shit that you think of, on a daily basis, when you have dead family members… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s decent; nothin’ much ta say, here… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it’s nice ta hear, as well; good shit… My Rating: 3.8

Overall: Nice job wit this CD; I felt it… You have a lotta catchy shit ta offer to tha world of Baton Rouge and all dat; keep grindin’!
