Reviewed on 6.10.2009 (Review #236)

It's Frankie here... Back wit tha next review on my marathon: K.E. Of Tha Darkside "The Light And Darkside Of K.E."! Start Time: 2:25 PM | End Time: 2:59 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!

01. "Get Your Mind Right"
How can we start this off? I prefer hearin' a "darkside" of a rapper than a "lightside". >>> Tha beat intro sounds familiar... Oh wait, here comes some mixin' in tha beats, lol. Sounds like tha beat iz definitely up my alley, and tha verse was pretty good; nice job deliverin' it. Tha hook iz catchy and tha beat changes a lil', so thumbs up! Sounds like tha 2nd verse iz a crazy "sex" verse; thumbs up! Ooh, great start wit tha voice in tha 3rd verse! Great job, and great ending wit tha "riggity--bang--bang" or w/e it was. My Rating: 4.2


02. Tha Interview
Ooh, a lil' interview in tha middle of this CD; lookin' forward! >>> I like how you said, "wuzzup;" so Louisiana style right there! I don't know about tha interview, although it was interesting. I luv tha gangsta shit and all that, but lemme hear more of tha CD to see what's gonna happen... My Rating: N/A


03. "Something For The Ladies"
Hope it's REAL GOOD and REAL SEXUAL!! >>> Not a good start fa me... I guess this iz a "lightside" of you... That hook (on tha R&B tip) ain't really that much interesting fa me. Okay 1st verse, but I'm not really into this song. Tha rest of tha song has good lyrics "for tha ladies," but just decent fa me. I won't give it too bad of a rating as it's not that bad... My Rating: 3.0


04. "When Will It Ever Stop"
I don't really like this title, but wit 5:36 on tha length, I want to be entertained, so entertain me! >>> Anotha slow start, soundin' like tha otha song (only wit female vocals on tha hook). Yea, tha lyrics aren't for me (wit all tha people "gettin' killed" and all tha shit goin' on in tha hood of yours). Interesting lyrics in tha 2nd verse wit tha children and tha cops, although this kinda boring fa me... Good lyrics again on tha 3rd verse wit tha "dignity" part. Not really fa me, but I'll give it a lyrical rating too to show appreciation. Lyrical Rating: 4.7 | My Rating: 2.7


½time: I can't really say that I like this CD yet, so I'm just gonna have to wait 'til tha last 4 songs are done...


05. "Don't Step To Tha Darkside"
Hopefully this'll get betta; iz this tha "darkside" of tha CD? >>> Cool beat start here. Wow, this iz much betta wit tha vocals and lyrics!! Great job wit tha 1st verse, expressin' tha "darkside"'s effects! Oh wait, maybe that's you on tha 2nd verse? I wish thingz were sourced on here... Tha 2nd verse was handled good, so thumbs up! I feel like I kinda got lost in tha 3rd verse; sounds kinda long/non-stop? It sounded like it got betta towards tha end, so I'll give it props. I like how tha ending sounded. My Rating: 3.9


06. "Gangster Bounce"
I hope this iz like a "bounce" song... >>> No, it's more towards a slow, gangsta style. LOL @ tha "do that gangster bounce" part in tha hook... I like tha style in tha 1st verse wit that voice again! Good job on tha 2nd verse too; LOL @ tha "jump around" part. A better song wit more catchiness, so props. My Rating: 4.0


07. "Second Chance"
What will this one be like? >>> I guess it's revertin' back to tha "lightside;" didn't really like tha sample start, but it made sense at least. Okay, tha actual beat to this song sounds betta. Well, tha 1st verse sounded okay; nice rhymes I guess. Tha hook (wit tha R&B voices) sound okay. Not really that much of interest, although it's betta than tha one otha song I talked about that had an R&B sound in it. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin' a lil' betta. Not bad of a song. My Rating: 3.6


08. Outro
To end it... >>> You sound nice and high on this outro. Yea, "light a big fat one up!" Holy shit, I fuckin' LUVED your snifflin'/coughin'; GREAT SHIT!!! Now, if you would've sounded like this on some of your songs, I would've DEFINITELY luved 'em right away!! This ACTUALLY was my favorite on tha CD, so thumbs up, lol! My Rating: N/A


Overall: Not really up my alley, so I can't really say I enjoyed this one that much. But, due to that outro, I wanna hear more of what you got 'cause I KNOW you LUVED that kush just now! Keep bein' you (if you still around)!
