Review #1,893: Mydus "Southern Gold"

Reviewed on 12.22.2019 (Review #1,893)


Keepin’ these reviewz goin’, as I reach my goal of 300 things accomplished in 2019 fa my blog…! Here comes my next one: Str8 outta Lafayette, it’s Mydus Southern Gold, released in 1999 on Dynasty Records! This CD was produced by Jay Burton, Jimmy Wiley & Marcus L. Cormier, as well! This CD also features Dolby D, Aftershock, Tray Deuce, Felicia Jolivet & Mr. Newman. Start Time: 7:59 AM | End Time: 9:11 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

19. “Cut Up”
>>> A female singin’ this hook, now… Slow vibe; cool, tho slow… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it str8, basically… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ okay, I guess… Long-ass endin’ wit that singin’; ouch! My Rating: 3.0


20. Outro
>>> Anotha “Mydus Touch” vibe fa this outro, here…; nice… My Rating: N/A


Overall: Most of this seemed okay, even tho I got bored by nothin’ really strikin’ my attention. Maybe, a lil’ more energy in tha deliveries? Beats aren’t that bad, tho a lil’ too many slow jamz?
