Reviewed on 7.09.2009 (Review #267)


FrankieThaLuckyDog in tha buildin' again! 'Bout ta continue ta set tha record, as I go fa REVIEW #7 today!! This iz Silky Slim "I Sold My Soul To The Hood"! Start Time: 10:12 PM | End Time: 11:15 PM


Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0. Each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself with 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) so 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.


01. "On Fire (Gangsta XX Mix)"
Looks like it gon be "on fire"? Let's see... >>> It took about 14 seconds, but here we go! Looks like "a ma'fuckin' bomb 'bout ta be dropped!!" Tha beat here iz West Coastish... I can't say much about tha rappin'... No comment, but tha lyrics were betta. I like how tha hook iz about smokin'! No comment on tha 2nd verse too... What's up wit tha flow? It's boring me... Sexualness on tha 3rd verse wit "she swallowed tha cum!" Okay song, but not "on fire" fa me... My Rating: 3.5


02. "Another Massacre"
Raw title; will it have a betta flow? >>> Sounded like a skit in tha beginning, but it was what goes on in tha hood. I thought I heard 1/4 of tha "dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn" Bounce beat style randomly on here, lol? Tha flow iz better, as it's nice and slow fa tha lyrics ta flow nicely. Nice, creepy joint right here! Good job on tha 2nd verse here too. Ooh, grimy start to tha 3rd verse wit "trappin' niggaz in snake pits;" crazy! A 4th verse too on this shit! Gangsta lyrics wit tha "shells crack up!" My Rating: 4.3


03. "A Little Something For The Hoes"
Looks like it gon be either decent, or I don't know... >>> Sounds boring fa a start... Extremely slow beat, although some sexual lyrics iz a plus. When tha "niggaz asked you quick about tha dope," that part was different from tha title's topic, so I felt that part! Nothin' much ta say about tha 2nd verse, but tha 3rd verse got more in depth wit tha topic, so thumbs up! My Rating: 3.6


04. "Kill Or Be Killed"
Looks like a serious title... I expect you ta deliver that heat! >>> OMG, raw shit here wit "this nigga's dick. I cut that off, stuck it down his throat;" TOO raw!!! Nice hood lyrics here, as this shit iz real serious on yo end!! Tha hook was said nice and slowly (only said once); great shit!! Tha 2nd verse here, Dr. Dreish vocals, and it's soundin' like it keepin' it consistent wit tha "why don't you attack" part! Good job on that 2nd verse; lookin' forward to tha 3rd verse! Now, it's "you niggaz won't attack," so they're afraid of you! That's a plus, I guess, 'cause it shows your toughness! Good shit right there once again! My Rating: 4.4


05. "I Sold My Soul To The Hood"
I really like this as an album title. How will it turn into a title track? >>> Sounds like it goin' hard; I like tha beat! Great 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse iz keepin' it gangsta wit tha lyrics! Such an ol' skool vibe right here! LOL @ "your nuts gettin' bigger." Tha 3rd verse was good on this shit too! Interesting song, interesting lyrics! My Rating: 4.2


06. "Thank U G"
Givin' back? >>> Doesn't sound like it's for me. I'm not into Christian Rap... I do believe in God 24/7/365/fa'eva, but I don't think he should be brought into a whole entire song... My Rating: 2.7


½time: This looks like it's pretty good fa a CD. From tha boring flow start, it has gotten better since tha beginning. I wonder what's left?


07. "50's Cop"
LOL @ a "50's cop;" lookin' forward ta this one! >>> Sounds like a quiet start... There's like no interest in this. There's not much goin' on, and tha beat iz too smooth... I guess tha 3rd verse sounds betta, but this should've been fixed in tha volume... I wanna be fair, so I'll rehear a lil' bit of tha beginning... Okay, I guess a lil' betta. My Rating: 3.4


08. "Dumpin' On 'Em"
I like this title, and this might be exactly what you gon do right now! >>> Anotha real slow beat here... Tha "smokin' blunts" part was cool. I like tha "up out my snake pit" (again wit tha "snake pit"). Tha flow sux again as it's boring, so it's hard fa me ta really get into certain parts of tha song, especially since tha title 'pose ta be tight! My Rating: 3.7


09. "What It Is"
? on tha preview. >>> Not into tha flow, although tha lyrics I guess are tha same quality wit this song. I guess tha flow was a lil' bit catchy, but not much else ta say. I guess this could be made into a catchy song, although tha last song was better. My Rating: 3.6


10. "I Feel Like Killing A Nigga"
A longer song (5:14), and I don't approve of "nigger" bein' in tha title! I switched it to "nigga" until a confirm! >>> Yea, it says, "nigga;" why tha racism in tha mp3 file? See, I don't fall for that! Tha 1st verse here, wit a slow flow again. You sound betta here wit yo attitude, so that's a plus! Nice job on tha 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse iz soundin' gutta, so that's anotha plus! LMAO @ tha "my dick iz big, but my nuts ain't big enough." Tha 3rd verse here iz addin' a lil' bit of gangsta attributes to tha lyrics, so that's a plus. I think I heard you say tha group "39 Automatic" in tha verse? Yea, a 4th verse here, "fulla dat weed & liquor;" glad you a weed head! A betta song right here! It sounded like Bounce lyrics at tha end (while it was fadin' out), only a lot slower, lol. My Rating: 4.2


11. American Justice
Looks like a title I can't tell what gon come outta it... >>> Sounds like a speech in tha beginning... Real interesting here wit tha "16 year old knocks on tha wrong door, and gets gunned down; tha killa gets set free;" nice words in tha speech! I agree a lil' bit wit what you're sayin' wit "agreein' wit America." I also agree wit tha "drugs" part wit people gettin' locked up fa no reason. This iz a REAL NICE, long interlude!! You could've continued speakin' 'cause this 50 second beat outro iz kinda long. What's wit tha fade-out startin' at :37 left? Long silence of 20 seconds at tha end... My Rating: N/A


12. "1-8-7...R.I.P."
Anotha title I can't tell what's goin' on... >>> A song here wit an okay beat. I like tha darker vocals here on tha 1st verse; sounds tha same wit tha flow though. Tha hook iz tha truth, so thumbs up on those lyrics! Tha 2nd verse iz pretty much a set of "R.I.P." shout outs goin' on here. LOL @ "dat nigga Bunny Rabbit;" *FrankieThaLuckyDog imitatin' Hippity's voice* "Tha bunny rabbit, bunny rabbit, BUNNY RABBIT, bunny rabbit!!" Sounds like a long outro goin' on here... Mixed results wit this song... 16 seconds of silence wit a cold ending? My Rating: 3.3


13. Party...Shouts Out
More shout outs? LOL... >>> It's like a party, lol. And, there's shout outs, lol. That's why it's called "Party...Shouts Out", lol. I like how you gave a shout out ta "Baton Rouge." Wow, this iz long... 3:22 in, and there's still 2:32 left... Glad it's a mix of a "party" and "shout outs", lol. Nice right here, but extremely too long, lol! My Rating: N/A


Overall: I guess this was pretty good. A lil' work needs ta be worked on wit tha flow though. Ya need ta pace it up a lil' bit. Otha than that, good lyrics, pretty good topics, but a work on tha flow iz needed.
