FrankieThaLuckyDog here... Tryna do some recent reviewz 'cause tomorrow, I gotta get back into my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon. Now, here's my review for D Cinn "Tha Promotion 3: Prince Of Da Haven"! Start Time: 1:11 PM | End Time: 2:25 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 or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!
 
 
© 2009 CD Review (Review #226) reviewed on 5.31.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "Prince Of Da Haven"
I'm lookin' forward to dark themes and dark beats (just like wit you and That Memphis Kid be doin')! >>> Nice intro wit tha typical movie opening up theme. You sound pretty good on this shit wit repeatin' tha title. Soundin' like some good rappin' on tha 1st verse. When you said "sucka," it reminded me of T.I.. LOL @ at 1:48 wit "dumb fuck." Nice 2nd verse too, although tha end got REAL good wit tha "my life in 3-dimension" and tha "cards dealt" parts!! My Rating: 4.1


02. "That's Da Boy"
I thought it was gonna say "my boy," but now, I wanna hear about "da boy" then. >>> Tha beat continues to be hot like tha previous beat. I like hearin' tha "that's da boy there" part before tha 1st verse. Tha 1st verse sounds nice; nice flow. Yea, I'm feelin' tha hook, fa sho; luv tha title! I like tha 2nd verse too wit tha "drippin' sloppy...carbon copies" lines! Good shit here! My Rating: 4.3


03. "Win"
LOL @ just that word in tha title, yet I know you gon "win" this song wit a rating from me as well! >>> Sounds like an anticipating beat intro! I like tha screamin' before tha hook! Now, that hook iz NICE! Feelin' tha attitude in tha flow/rappin', and tha lyrics go nice wit it too; great combo! Ooh, you're only "20 years old?" That's how old I am 'til 21 more dayz! Great 1st verse and consistency on this shit. I like tha "this iz one DJ you DON'T wanna fuck wit!" tag! Tha 2nd verse worked good too, especially wit tha title; you "winnin'!" Nice ending too wit all those "we play to win, my nigga!" My Rating: 4.1


04. "Act Like Ya Know"
A shorter joint (2:35 on tha length), but looks like more of an attitude attributed track here as well! >>> Good hook on this too; same attitude, so that's watz good. Good 1st verse, continuin' your rappin' wishes. Good 2nd verse too. Not much to say 'cause you always holdin' it down on these tracks. My Rating: 4.0


05. "This And That"
Anotha short one (2:30 on tha length), and anotha good title! >>> Not a good intro this time. Tha hook sounds good, but that beat's R&Bish? It barely iz changin' up, so thumbs down. Was not really my style, but even worse: at 1:29 (only 1:01 left), it's skipping. Well, this iz sadly down tha tubes now. My Rating: 2.3


06. "Gettin' 2 Da Money"
Checked to see if this skipped too, but no, just tha 1st second. Looks like a good title again, so hopefully, tha beat iz on point this time. >>> That title reminds me of an OJ Da Juiceman type of title (I guess 'cause of his "I'm Gettin' Money"). Okay, this iz definitely better; good hook, good beat! I like your "bees gettin' to tha honey" part a lil' after tha 1:10 mark. Good 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse iz not bad fa a start. Sounds like it's still keepin' that good rappin' attitude. Nice ending (which was like tha intro). My Rating: 3.9


07. "Like Me"
I don't know what exactly to expect wit a typical title like that... >>> Ooh, anticipating beat intro again! Good job on tha 1st verse, and it sounds like T.I. on tha hook, which tha hook iz good too. I like tha part right at tha 2:00 mark wit tha "pockets anti-break." Ooh, 1st song wit a 3rd verse here! Tha "my job iz ta piss on niggaz" part went hard. Good job on tha 1st 3rd verse on this mixtape! My Rating: 4.0


½time: Although there was one song that was not for me, this mixtape iz goin' hard, and ain't stoppin'! Great job right here, D Cinn. Keep doin' yo thang, and I'm lookin' forward to hearin' tha rest! Tha average CD rating iz currently 3.8.


08. "Hatin' On Me"
Now why iz that? Why do people hate on every single person constantly? In my case, nobody hates on me; they REALLY underrate me and ignore me! I look at it that way in my cases. But, let's see your case. >>> Still keepin' those real nice beats goin'! I like tha "prepared to show up at your wake" part; preparation shit right here fa tha haterz! I don't know about tha singin' vocals during tha hook, but it does sound nice. I like hearin' tha same word twice (expressed differently), like tha "D Cinn ain't tha same nigga [dude]? Nigga [Dude], what chu mean?" Good shit again. My Rating: 3.8


09. "Doin' Somethin' To Me"
Anotha title about somethin' happenin' to you. I wanna see if it's equal to tha last song (based on how I feel). >>> Actually, on a different topic, based off tha gurl "doin' somethin' to you." Not bad on tha 1st verse; good lyrics to tha gurl. Tha rest was okay to me. Thanx fa havin' tha beat continue to be nice. My Rating: 3.6


10. "Givin' Up"
Wonder what I'mma hear in only 2:22, yet I KNOW you won't be "givin' up;" otherz will! >>> Oh no, it's about you? This ain't really fa me, and although I feel like "givin' up" when people take advantage of what I do, fa some reason, I continue; people anticipate me to continue. Good whole verse about you and what's been goin' on wit you, but it ain't much of my cup of tea. I'll still give you a lyrical rating fa your content on this one though. Lyrical Rating: 4.5 | My Rating: 2.8


11. "If Ya Real" Feat. Lil' Shawn
Ooh, a lot longer song this time (over double tha length of tha last song, lol). This one iz 4:52, and I'm not gonna say much except fa pressin' play... >>> Oh, I didn't realize I wrote nothin' yet... Sounds like anotha good song. I like tha hook, tha beat iz definitely on point, and tha 1st verse was pretty good. Got tha 1st featured person (on this CD) on tha 2nd version here: "Shizzle" (as he said, lol) a.k.a. Lil' Shawn. He doin' his thang; feelin' his verse right here; good voice too. Feelin' tha 3rd verse; tha ending of it was great too, D Cinn. My Rating: 4.1


12. "'Bout Da Bizness"
Lemme hear what ya got on this one. >>> LOL @ tha intro wit tha "1-800-FUCK-YOU" numba; I wonder what happened if someone called it, lol? Sounds like a catchy hook. Good soundin' on your rappin' on tha 1st verse; nice rhymes! Feelin' tha 2nd verse too; nice job on this shit. My Rating: 3.9


13. "Jealousy" Feat. D-Nyc & TLT
I thought it was gonna be like a minute longer than 3:59 ('cause of tha 2 featured people). But, lemme see what y'all got goin' on wit this one! >>> Can't judge tha intro yet... Not bad on tha 1st verse; can't really say much. Tha 2nd verse sounds nice. I like tha "sellin' weed" part (1st time I heard that on this mixtape)! Dude iz on point here. Hearin' tha 3rd verse right nah, and it's like a more Southern version of Lil' Flip here. Good job on tha 3rd verse there. This ain't that bad fa a song fa me. Good job fa havin' those featured rappers on here 'cause it helped fa me. My Rating: 3.7


14. "Veteran"
Same length as tha last song, lol. I wonder how good this one iz (yet, you're on your own wit this one)... >>> Not bad on tha beat here; reminds me of Figit's "Hustle" a lil' (from 2005). Not bad on tha 1st verse. Tha hook iz pretty nice too. Keepin' tha rappin' good on tha 2nd verse wit your attitude. Nice on tha 3rd verse too. Good job wit your motivation on this one right chea. My Rating: 3.8


15. "So Fly"
Tha last one; what to expect... >>> Good intro fa tha last song. Feelin' tha 1st verse on this. Tha hook iz pretty nice; not much to say, but I like this one right here. I like tha "it's like I'm highhh" part in tha hook. Great wit tha rest of tha song. I'm gonna rate it tha same as tha last song, although I like tha last song better. Nice fade-out to this song 'cause tha mixtape ended. My Rating: 3.8


Overall: This turned out ta be a nice mixtape; definitely feelin' tha beginning jointz. You held it down on this shit, and tha 3 featured artists on this shit were cool too. Nice job, and keep up tha great work!
