Review #323: Lil' Wubb "I Got Da Mic In A Chokehold Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 10.16.2009 (Review #323)


It’s FrankieThaLuckyDog again… Back wit anotha review, ya dig! Tha last one I did was for my boy Jay Regal, signed wit Raw Ha Records. Now, it’s Lil’ Wubb, also signed wit Raw Ha Records! Here’s my review for Lil’ Wubb I Got Da Mic In A Chokehold Vol. 1, his new mixtape! Start Time: 10:50 PM | End Time: 12:20 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 or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!
 
 
© 2009 CD Review (Review #323) reviewed on 10.16.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. “Watch Me Get ‘Em” Feat. Outlaw Slim
Glad you’re bringin’ new people fa me ta hear; lookin’ forward to tha start of this CD!! >>> So, you’re actually producin’ this song? Sounds like it a good start, and tha intro was pretty anticipatin’! Tha 1st verse on this soundin’ catchy too; really likin’ tha flow/style! Nice job on tha 1st verse, and tha hook iz cool, fa real. Tha 2nd verse iz here, and it’s DEFINITELY a REAL catchy voice & flow!! REAL NICE, and you’re on tha 2nd 1/3 of this 2nd verse, soundin’ good wit tha “purple blunts, back ta back” shit! Good job, as it was a verse broken down inta 3 different parts! Dat Outlaw Slim dude on tha 3rd verse, soundin’ REAL GOOD still!! It’s SO catchy, and you’re on tha 2nd 1/3 of tha 3rd verse!! Good job, but your boy REALLY tore it up on tha 3rd 1/3 wit tha “weed, pills” part!! Nice endin’ ta this too. My Rating: 4.3


02. “Where U From”
Looks like an anthem; let’s see how you get down on it! >>> Nearly sounds like a song I used in a commercial or somethin’ for a start. Tha 1st verse iz on its street shit, and it’s soundin’ pretty good. Decent wit tha flow, although I’m startin’ ta catch onto it more wit tha faster rhymes. Looks like your rhymes are better than your flow. Now, tha hook iz DEFINITELY tha shit!! “Where u from??? Louisiana, my nigga! And yo city??? BRC, I live in!!” REAL NICE job on that hook!!! Not much ta say about tha 2nd verse; decent rappin’. Mainly, it’s all about dat hook, as it’s TIGHT! Just like tha Jay Regal CD, this CD has silence at tha end of each song; this iz like 15 seconds of silence. My Rating: 4.1


03. “Non Sense”
They spelled “non” wrong on tha ID; it’s not “none.” Anyway, this title I rememba usin’ in tha pre-commercial I made for you, so lemme hear tha whole song now! >>> You & Really Boy doin’ tha damn thang on tha beats! It’s 3/3 on tha beats here, as this one I believe iz soundin’ tha best so far! Yup, here’s tha hook, soundin’ good! Anti-hater anthem right here, soundin’ good once again! Glad you gave Jay Regal a shout out at about :55 in; he a dawg wit it! I like tha “before I smoke him like a blunt of dro” part too; sounds like rappin’ wit a good attitude right here. Tha 2nd verse iz aight; you should’ve had a featured person on it. Glad you’ll “have a blunt ready” fa ya boy Slim when he gets outta jail. Tha 3rd verse has aight rappin’ also. People would hate on tha verse by tha way it sounds, but I’m not a hater. Rappin’ iz rappin’; AS LONG AS IT AIN’T ON AUTO-TUNE OR ABOUT DANCIN’!! My Rating: 4.2


04. “Bounce Sprang!!!!”
I neva put tha exclamation points in tha title, but I’ll put ‘em in this ID. This song played 2x already on my radio shift, so you KNOW I’m showin’ it luv! Tha beat iz REAL catchy here, ESPECIALLY since it’s based off of a bunny hoppin’, lol! Tha hook iz catchy fa me, ESPECIALLY tha bunny hoppin’ sound effect. I like your “steppin’ in my sewage water” part in tha 1st verse. Tha otha ½ of tha 1st verse was good/aight. Here I am listenin’ to tha 2nd verse, and I like tha “I sneeze on these tracks, and I bless ‘em wit my lyrics” (referrin’ ta “ah-choo”); that was good. Tha 3rd verse iz pretty good; you “quench tha gurl’s thirst like gatorade,” lol. I like your “without memories” part at tha end of tha verse too. My Current Rating: 4.3


05. “Super Freak”
Might’ve sampled this song in my commercial; not sure if it was for me though. Lemme re-hear it and see how it sounds… >>> Sounds slow for a start, and like Cobra Starship & Leighton, “good girls they go bad,” lol. Okay, tha hook iz a lil’ on tha decent side for me; nothin’ really bad so far. Supportin’ tha ladies here on tha 1st verse; decent for me. I seem more interested in tha 2nd verse. You’re tryna get dat gurl’s “feet to tha ceilin’;” thumbs up. Not bad for a song here. My Rating: 3.4


06. “4 Tha Money” Feat. Jordy
Yes, anotha newbie! What could I hear wit this song? >>> Okay, on tha jacked beat side wit a classic Jay-Z beat here… Hope DatPiff doesn’t remove it ‘cause of tha same sample in tha hook! Soundin’ okay on tha 1st verse, really tryna make it! Iz that Jordy on tha 2nd verse? He doesn’t sound like he can stand-out; he nearly sounds like you on tha voice. Okay song once again. My Rating: 3.6


07. “Down 2 Ride”
Might be a female song, but let’s see… >>> A lil’ different from my guess, as it’s anotha jacked beat song (on J.R. Writer “Grill ‘Em” beat). A lil’ odd on tha start to tha 1st verse, as tha part of tha beat iz really tha hook’s part. This one ain’t that loud, but I can still hear it. Catchy lyrics here, although they’re kinda regular. Glad you believe you “rip a track like sharp teeth!” I guess this iz just a freestyle since there’s just non-stop rappin’? And you’re strapped as you “got so many guns.” Okay, I think I hear a hook at tha 2:00 mark; tha rappin’ iz a lil’ too fast for this song. Tha rest iz just okay, but I think tha flow iz a lil’ off by bein’ too fast for this song. My Rating: 3.0


08. “Translucent” Feat. L.B.
Who’s tha L.B. dude? Not tha Word Of South dude I’m guessin’… Not sure about tha title, so let’s see tha song… >>> Sounds like a baby iz born type of music in tha beginning… I don’t know if I’ll be able ta handle it… Okay, tha 1st verse iz here, and it’s not that bad; I believe I can handle this one. Lyrics could be a lil’ betta, so I’ll just say they’re still decent. Tha hook sounds great, I guess for tha beat in tha back of you; nice job. Dat mysterious L.B. dude iz on tha 2nd verse, and it’s not tha WOS dude. Nice fast start to tha verse, and let’s see what else he has ta offer… A lil’ on tha decent level, but I’ll give it credit. You’re back on tha 3rd verse, and let’s see what we got… Tha lyrics are betta on this verse, so I’ll give it a plus, in your case. Catchy end to tha 3rd verse wit tha “love” about tha “ass & titties.” I like tha last hook also, as tha beat’s a lil’ on tha quieter side. Although it’s a different song fa me, I think my rating for this iz pretty good! My Rating: 4.2


09. “Lie 2 Ya”
I rememba this bein’ a real weird song fa me when hearin’ music for tha pre-commercial. Lemme review it so y’all know what’s in this song! >>> Tha beginning beat ain’t even Hip-Hop; it’s like an Acoustic guitar. Tha hook’s a lil’ ehh for me. Afta :55, tha beat added some Hip-Hop to it. Howeva, lyrics are to tha topic, on a decent level. Either way, this iz too weird for me. Tha 2nd verse sounds betta; “your flow iz sicka than…” somethin’ wit liver. That part was pretty good, on a different level. My Rating: 2.4


½time: Tha beginning was pretty good, although tha 2nd ½ iz a lil’ on tha shaky side for me. I’m glad we cool wit each otha, so you KNOW I gon support ya wit this Rap shit, ya dig! Tha average CD rating currently stands at 3.7.


10. “Gansta Chick”
Back to a longer length here of a lil’ ova 4:30, so let’s see what you got for tha chicks this time! >>> A different beat tag intro you used in tha beginning; tha beat this time iz aight. Still comin’ through a lil’ decent on tha 1st verse; I like dat “hit dat end button” part. Okay job on this; not much ta say. Whoa! Who’s dat on tha 2nd verse? It ain’t ID’d, but I swear, I know who dat iz!! I can’t rememba though at tha moment… Somebody needs ta tell me! Now, he has a REAL good voice as well as a catchy-ass flow; nice surprise!! Anotha different dude on tha 3rd verse, no less iz “a jiggalator,” so that’s DEFINITELY a plus!! I like tha “gangsta-ass ‘bauds” part; good shit right here. DEFINITELY picked up a lil’ wit tha unknown features! My Rating: 3.5


11. “I Grew Up”
I won’t say anything yet… It has 5:01 on tha length, so… what will it be? >>> Tha very beginning sounded like it wasn’t for me at all, but tha beat sounds like it gon be cool or somethin’ wit tha mixin’ in tha beginning. Am I hearin’ gunshots in it too? Okay, I hear tha beat more at :30, and it’s soundin’ pretty good. Tha lyrics are a lil’ betta on here too. Okay job done on tha 1st verse; tha hook iz on tha truth tip and sounds pretty good fa this. Glad you “survived tha storm.” Tha 2nd verse sounds betta than tha 1st verse. Sounds like you were gettin’ somethin’ through on tha 3rd verse. I don’t have much ta say about it, but I’m glad you deliverin’ somethin’. My Rating: 3.7


12. “Rep Yo Project”
I HOPE we can turn these decent ratings into MUCH BETTA ratings!! >>> Sounds like a good start wit tha hook, although tha beat a lil’ decent for a start. It sounds like it’s kickin’ in at :18, so I’ll accept it as gettin’ betta! Spittin’ some hood shit in tha 1st verse, givin’ you a plus. Glad you be in tha hood and shit like that so you got your street credibility on lock! Nice job on dat 1st verse; let’s see what we got on tha 2nd verse… Nice shout outs ta all tha projects! I’m guessin’ there’s random silence at tha end, since there’s a lil’ ova 1:30 left in tha song and I hear you talkin’? Good talkin’, but I was wrong ‘cause you’re spittin’ a 3rd verse here. Good job, and now, wit 41 seconds left, here’s tha outro. My Rating: 3.9


13. “Something Special”
What can we fit fa only 2:11? >>> Just a decent beat fa me, and tha rappin’ iz on tha quieter side. Not really for me, especially on tha interest level. I had no feedback for this; rhymes were okay. My Rating: 1.9


14. “Why Not Fuck A Real Nigga”
A much harder title here, so tha song BETTA sound good! >>> Huh? When can tha production step up? This iz a tough title; why a calm beat like this? Hook iz just aight. Why iz there singin’ added to tha hook too? Please don’t make me low rate this one. Tha 1st verse was okay for what it was, but could’ve been better! Wit tha title, I expect some sexual content! At least tha 2nd verse has some drug shit in it wit tha “sellin’ white;” where’s a WHOLE song about that?? Not much interest in tha rest of tha 2nd verse; sorry. I didn’t like how this song disappointed me, so… I have ta do it; check tha rating. My Rating: 2.1


15. “Think Ya Ready”
For 4:42 on tha length, I hope I’m prepared! >>> LOL @ that laugh in tha beginning; “a Johnnie Domino laugh,” lol? I guess, cool. Anotha start that’s not much tight, but more on tha catchy side; I like that hook! What’s wit tha mysterious people again? Tell me who they are! Unknown, GR8 rapper on tha 1st verse!! I think they were on this CD earlier! NICE job here, and tha 2nd verse iz REAL GR8!! That attitude iz TOOOO GOOD!!! Iz that really you, Wubb? If so, that REALLY makes a song have interest; an attitude!! Here’s tha 3rd verse, from I don’t know who, but they’re DEFINITELY catchy wit their “garbage bag” part, lol! Much betta comeback to tha mixtape, and it’s more on tha catchy side than tight side! Nice “take everything by storm like Katrina did!” Oh, that’s you on tha 3rd verse? Glad your voice sounded like that; you REALLY showed me you got an attitude! My Rating: 4.3


16. “To Da Beat” Feat. Yung Gutta
No preview. >>> A lil’ upbeat here, so this could be good. You got a Yung Gutta dude or whoeva he iz on tha feature? He must be good! Pretty good hook, and you’re soundin’ pretty good on tha 1st verse here. Nice, although tha hook actually’s a lil’ odd for me wit everything goin’ on. Now, we got tha Yung Gutta dude on tha 2nd verse; he sounds good on this. He did a betta job on his verse than yours. Sounds like simple rappin’ though on tha 3rd verse. He only had a ½ of tha verse, as you’re on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse. I’m glad you have catchiness in your verse. My Rating: 3.5


17. “In My Zone (Freestyle)”
I wonder what beat you’re freestylin’ off of… >>> I don’t think I know tha beat, unless it’s pretty old. Sounds like you’re freestylin’ at an okay style, but tha words at least are betta than most of your songs on here. I didn’t expect there ta be a hook, and it sounds good. Tha 2nd verse iz pretty good; I like tha “peakin’ out ya window” part, lol. Ooh, a gunshot moment wit 25 seconds left! Glad you brought tha beat back and talked a lil’ on it. My Rating: 3.7


18. “Who Am I”
How will you do for tha last song on tha mixtape? >>> I thought I heard this beat from somewhere also; not sure though. It sounds good, although what’s wit that mixin’ at about :34? I thought somethin’ was wrong wit tha mp3… You have a catchy voice on this one. Pretty good job on tha 1st verse, and once again, you’re more catchy than tight on tha hook. Sounds more like an opening song than an ending song, lol. Sounds like you’re talkin’ to yourself or somethin’ in tha 2nd verse, no offense. It’s a pretty catchy attitude though. My Rating: 3.6


Overall: A lil’ odd mixtape for me. Tha ratings were pretty mixed, and there wasn’t that many songs that went hard. A bunch were catchy, a bunch were weird, some weren’t for me, and some had nothin’ to ‘em. I still supportin’ you though, you know dat! As long as you got luv fa me, I got luv fa you, ya dig!
