Shit, here I am again! Watz good, FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin', catchin' up wit tha reviewz 'cause shit iz gettin' hectic wit college. This review iz goin' out to my boy G-Eazy, who does all tha work and iz reppin' Da Bay/New Orleans (that's watz good), and his CD "The Tipping Point". This a white boy who's got skillz. Time for me to finally peep it out. Here goes my review for G-Eazy "The Tipping Point"! Start Time: 4:08 PM | Video Game Playing: Secret Of Mana (for Super Nintendo) (on my computer)
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 or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!
© 2008 CD Review (Review #124)
reviewed on 9.28.2008 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01. "Intro"
Let's see how creative this intro iz… >>> It's long (3:32) for an intro. Yeah it definitely iz creative. What's goin' on? Here comes a beat at 1:14. Finally, rappin'! Yeah tha rappin' was nice and you got a cool voice. This shit gon be interesting to listen to. I've been reviewin' some interesting CDs recently. Good shit!! Now, I usually only rate intros/skits/outros by tha rappin' (if I give a rating). Because tha intro on this was real creative and different, I'm gonna add it to tha rating. Really, tha rating would've only been a 3.8 without tha intro but I'm gonna add tha intro's attributes to tha rating. My Rating: 4.3
02. "I Be In The Lab"
Thanx to Alex McConduit, I wouldn't've known you! He played this song (I first heard it tha end of July 2008 but I realized that you were "in tha studio" wit him before that) and I was like "what iz this? Sounds like Rugrats!" Alex corrected me and said that it was Dexter's Lab on tha sample. It grabbed my attention very fast and did some thangz wit me. Great song, one of tha most creative HOT songs this year and great beat too! I'm hittin' tha "lab" tomorrow (for tha 1st time myself) to make my commercial for class (it's to promote my rappin' grandma's single "Heart Throbbin' Every Heartbeat" (which I produced, wrote and created)). Great samples, GREAT rhymes and beat again! My Current Rating: 4.8
03. "I Go" Feat. Concept
Already a feature. Let's see what's goin' on here… >>> I'm feelin' that beat. Not bad so far… Might need more listens before it can grow on me. Concept was pretty nice on tha hook too. My Rating: 3.6
04. "Paper Planes" Feat. Rich Boy & M.I.A.
You're doin' somethin' to tha "planes"? Interesting! Huge anticipation on hearing! >>> I think I like Bun B's part in this "original Diplo Street Remix" version. Your verse was okay. I still love "Paper Planes" though. My Rating: 4.0
05. "Dollarz & Dreamz"
Good an original! >>> Sounds like The Beatles "Elenaor Rigby" violins in tha background. Good hook! That's somethin' I think about too. Feelin' this song on a personal level (since it's tha truth). Great song right here. Jammin'. My Rating: 4.2
06. "Nobody" Feat. PUSH & Riva
Let's see what this collab gon be like… >>> This was played on Crescent City Radio too. Tha music iz from Jem "They" and I'm definitely feelin' it!! Oh so you fuck wit kush (according to tha beginning of tha 1st verse)? Then that's watz good. I fucks wit you then, especially wit this review. This iz cool… Good hook and I'm glad that sample in tha music goes through tha whole song! Great rhymes too. My Rating: 4.5
07. "Fresh!"
That's tha sound you deliverin' dawg! Now deliver it on this joint! >>> Feelin' how that intro (sounded like spray paintin') turned itself into tha beat! This anotha Crescent City Radio song. Yeah this iz hot right here. Beat iz definitely hip-hop style for anyone and tha rhymes are good again. So you're "born in 89?" I'm older than you, lol (it's more common these dayz 'cause time iz progressin'). I'm born on 6-21-1988. Good shit. My Rating: 4.1
08. "Cold Fever (Remix)" Feat. Bedtime For Toys
Curious about tha featured artist. Tha title looks tight though. And wit G-Eazy workin' this shit, ANYTHING (yeah, ANYTHING) could happen when I press play!!! >>> Sounds like music that Ally B would like to play. Yeah, ANYTHING could happen… An Alternative-Rap song! Odd (in a pretty good way) song so far. Beginning (wit that girl) sounds good on tha vocals. Good verse by you dawg. This iz definitely different and I really like that Alternative-Rap beat! Good 3rd verse and hot "fresh!" shit right here! My Rating: 4.3
09. "Alone"
Now you're "alone" on this joint. But you do tha damn thang by yourself, ya heard me! >>> More Hip-Hop style in tha beat but still a lil' Alternative-Rapish. Good that you took tha "Alone" from Heart sample and put it into a Hip-Hop beat and this shit. Good rhymes and great song wit tha lyrics! My Rating: 4.0
10. "All Day" Feat. Felix
Lookin' at your Myspace and I know that you're multi-talented. I just looked at tha "Band Members" section and I see that you got pretty much tha same amount of talents I have: rapper (I am), producer (I am), mixer/studio engineer (I am bound to be a mixer when I create a mixtape and I'm kinda bein' a studio engineer in college during class), artist/graphic designer (I am) and **THA BIG ONE** video director (HAVE been for tha longest time; my strongest strength). Tha only thing you're missing (unless it counts under "video director") iz "video editor" 'cause I'm VERY strong wit that! Now to tha joint! >>> Sounds like anotha sample (like "Alone" was) in tha beginning. LOL! It's a smokin' anthem!! I would've neva predicted you were a kush dude dawg. But that's watz good and tha lyrics in tha 1st verse were great… just great! This joint was like a surprise on this CD! I mean, look at that Alternative type of vocals on tha hook (Felix) mixed in wit all this shit! Now this iz where CRACK comes into a joint like this! My Rating: 4.8
½time: 57 minutes in and it's off to a great start! Lovin' all this creativeness and I know you gon bring creativeness for tha rest of your life to tha table, ya dig! Keep up tha great work!
11. "Put It In My Mouth" Feat. Chris of Floopyhead
LOL @ this consistantness! I have a feelin' you sampled tha "Put It In My Mouth" joint and LOL @ tha name "Floopyhead" (LOL even more; I thought it said "Floppyhead"). This should be "G-Eazy" (like your name, meanin' "g" = "great" and "eazy" = "easy to do this tight shit")! >>> I knew it (wit tha sample). Pretty good so far. LOL @ tha "orgasms" part on tha 2nd verse! Now thingz are gettin' serious!! Great shit and LMFAO @ tha "and she love cock" line. Oh LMFAO @ "and deep in her mouth iz where she take my cum shots." Good shit!! My Rating: 4.4
12. "I'm Focused" Feat. 3rd Shift
Ooh 3rd Shift! Did he do tha beat or iz he rappin'? I predict tha intro/outro wit tha beat. High anticipation level!! >>> SMH @ tha bleep shit and "bitch-assness" regular. That iz a 3rd Shift beat (sounds like tha intro to "Daddy" by Oba Rowland). I was 100% right: tha intro/outro wit tha beat! TIGHT!! 3rd Shift iz that dude who iz ALWAYS focused and just FUCKIN' FUCKIN' LOVES producing!!! This iz so far tha HARDEST joint on this CD!! When you say "dawg" (which I really like when rappers say that) and you said "pussies" so you ain't playin' wit this shit. I think 'cause 3rd Shift made you HUNGRY for this beat (he made Lil' Bossy VERY hungry for beats; that's why he MURDERED all his 3rd Shift beats). That "get you pissed on" line iz full of focusness! No playin' games here! NOOOOOOOO tha fuckin' joint ended!!! UGH!!!!!!!!! My Rating: 4.9
13. "Gettin' Mine"
How will this joint follow-up tha "I'm Focused" focused joint? >>> Almost sounds like 3rd Shift beat again. Now it sounds like a "I Be In The Lab" type of hook. Oh wow what a HARD BEAT again!! That has to be 3rd Shift on tha beat again!! It reminds me almost of "My Niggaz" beat by Oba Rowland (wit that "Ride With The Mack" (Mack Maine/Lil' Wayne/Dizzy a.k.a. Raw D.I.) organ). CRAZY ALL THA WAY THROUGH!!! Lyrics again aren't fuckin' playin'!! And I did hear my dawg 3rd Shift at tha end again! Good shit and go to http://www.thecincinnatimonster.com for all tha HOT SHIT wit 3rd Shift, my dude! Hope you're gonna be on his mixtape (I can produce it but can't spell it), tha 2nd mixtape it iz (comin' soon), 'cause it's gonna be a problem in tha streetz!! My Rating: 4.8
14. "Cartiers (Remix)" Feat. Tha Slap Doctorz
What iz this joint gon sound like? >>> Pretty cool so far. Tha feel of tha beat iz remindin' me a lil' of Natureboy Rowe & Yung Mike "I'm Throwed" (wit tha flowin' and shit like that). Pretty good and feelin' it. I like tha "vitamins & minerals" line. Right before tha 3rd verse ended, I like tha "freezer/freezin'" line about your neck. This joint iz tha shit right here and it's on tha "fresh!" tip to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3
15. "All Up On My Dick"
Now this iz where this CD keeps gettin' better and better!! Curious to hear how HARD you go on this joint! >>> I thought it was gonna be dedicated to tha haterz but it's to tha hoes on tha hook. Actually, I guess it's both since you talked about tha haterz on tha 1st verse. I like tha "Scooby" line and this iz definitely good so far. Glad you're "gettin' brain while you write this." That's prolly why tha lyrics are comin' out fast on this song! Speakin' of "googlin' you," after this review, this review'll prolly be on Google all over! My Rating: 4.2
16. "Freaks" Feat. G-Boy
This should be tight, especially since it's No. 16 (which I'm always in tha mood for). Looks like tha sequel to No. 15 so let's see!! >>> Wow short wit only 2:08 on tha length. This should go fast. Pretty good song even though it's short. Nice lil' anthem right here for tha clubs! Nice and short! My Rating: 4.0
17. "Low Key"
Somethin' we're keepin' on tha "low" or somethin' else? Let's see… >>> Have a feelin' it gon be good even though it's short again…! Anotha "blowin' dro" anthem!! Yeah, I'm glad you love your dro 'cause it's makin' me REAL happy to listen to these tracks! Tha shit right here!! Ooh you said "needless to say!" Love that sayin'! Tight shit right here! My Rating: 4.5
18. "White Tee" Feat. AB of Tha Slap Doctorz
I'm rockin' one now. Let's see what you got on "white tees"! >>> I'm tired of doin' reviewz today (this iz tha 3rd one today)!! But your CD just keeps gettin' me in tha mood to continue this without an attitude! Sounds like a Lil' Wayne flow on this joint on tha 1st verse. Wow real tight lyrics wit tha "9mm tucked under my muthafuckin' 'white tee'!" line (from AB)! I'm glad this CD got more Southern wit its style! Your verse wasn't so bad but AB had tha tight shit on this joint! My Rating: 4.1
19. "Pick Up The Pieces" Feat. PUSH & Jasmine Blue
Somethin' about this looks familiar (but I don't think it iz). Let's see what all y'all are talkin' about on this! >>> Just when I said it was "more Southern", it sounds non-Southern now on this joint (wit tha beat). That "breakin' up like bad service" line iz somethin'. Not bad but nothin' like tha last bunch of jointz I was listenin' to. Sounds like Nina Sky on tha hook BTW. My Rating: 3.4
20. "Sweet Sensation" Feat. Marc Payne & Jem
Iz this gon sound like No. 19?? >>> Anotha odd (in a good way) beat wit tha Alternative feel. I like tha girl singin' on tha hook. Because it says "Gem", that's not "Jem" (from tha "They" sample you used) iz it? Sounds like it. But great hook and decent song so far. Sounded like this song needed rappin' on it so you and Marc did a good job wit tha rappin'. My Rating: 3.8
EDIT: Just checked tha back cover and it says "Jem". I knew I was right.
21. "Just Believe"
What could tha last joint sound like? >>> Now it's a Telepopmuzik "Breathe" sample. This iz real cool how you're investigating wit all these samples! I like tha "hand/dealt" and "weed/to tha dome" lines consecutively! I also like tha "break like cracked glass" line. I like tha "breathin' marijuana and blow out stress" lines. That's 4 lines I quoted in a row. Good shit wit tha lyrics! Real nice lyrics and that last hook about tha "marijuana" and tha "puddles." I definitely liked tha lyrics in this, tha sample and tha beat was good too. My Rating: 3.9
Overall: End Time: 5:59 PM. I'm finished for today wit tha reviewz! I gotta get my homework done. Anyway, CD was pretty good for a start and then all of a sudden… BOOM!!! It went HARD for a minute!! Real great 2nd ½ of a CD and this CD was definitely somethin' TIGHT to listen to! I'm gonna put it on my iPod. Keep doin' yo thang G-Eazy! I wish you lots of success in tha future 'cause you got talent. BTW, I really think tha back cover iz dope.
