Review #339: One-i "2 Weeks Notice"

Reviewed on 12.04.2009 (Review #339)




It’s ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog shakin’ back, ya dig. Got a lil’ dizzy and distracted (lol @ those D words, lol) before wit my uncle’s gurlfriend, as we were playin’ games online. Anyway, after a power nap, I’m back fa anotha review, ya heard me! Up next iz once again One-i, but by himself this time! Here goes my review fa One-i 2 Weeks Notice! Start Time: 9:17 PM | End Time: 10:28 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. “2 Weeks Notice Intro”
Looks like it ain’t just an intro but a song as well!! I KNOW you hold it down (just like you did wit Pigg on tha Anti-Social mixtape I previously reviewed), so you gon do tha damn thang once again as you have dropped BUKU SHIT throughout this year!!! >>> Again a DJ Scrap intro, lol. It sounds like it gon be a pretty good intro here wit tha cool beat, mixin’ and your gr8 rappin’. I like all tha raps you’re spittin’ on this intro here, filterin’ out tha dudes unda your status! LOL @ tha part wit tha “gurl wantin’ ta sit on your sausage!” Gr8 job wit this shit as you just spittin’ to tha fullest!! I like tha ending wit, “I be down in Hammond City where tha gangstaz roll!” My Rating: 4.2


02. “They Watching” Feat. Prince Blakk
You brought Mr. Blakk on tha track here… Let’s see how it rolls on this mixtape. >>> Good beat transition; almost couldn’t tell that it changed. You doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse here, continuin’ where you left off from tha intro! Blakk sounds good on this hook this time, so thumbs up to tha hook. It sux ta hear about your “100 pills” story in tha beginnin’ of tha 2nd verse; fuckin’ snitches. Pretty good 2nd verse overall too. My Rating: 4.1


03. “Tell The Truth”
Looks like an anti-fake tellin’ song; lookin’ forward! >>> Keepin’ these beats jumpin’ here wit a nice intro as well as you on tha 1st verse doin’ tha damn thang! Sounds like you’re spittin’ cool lyrics about yourself in tha 1st verse; good job. Tha hook iz more on you tellin’ tha truth than anybody bein’ fake. A lil’ on tha simple side but it goes ‘cause it’s you. LOL @ 1:44; it sounded like a Pacman dyin’ sound in tha beat; nice! Tha 2nd verse sounds betta here wit tha lyrics; keep this shit up! My Rating: 4.2


04. “Thinkin’ ‘Bout”
What could you be “thinkin’ ‘bout” on this joint? >>> Tha intro of tha beat sounded a lil’ different, but it’s rollin’ pretty average so far. You spittin’ tha real shit on this one so once again, you get a plus! Tha hook iz a lil’ different since it’s just talkin’…; okay song so far. Tha 2nd verse iz more about you and tha Rap game wit what’s goin’ on; pretty good verse once again. Kinda on tha short side, but it’s okay. My Rating: 3.6


05. “Living It Up”
Looks like you gon have a blast on this joint? Let’s see how excited you are, lol. >>> Much betta beat/soundin’ on this one for a start! Sounds like tha strength based off tha Anti-Social CD!! Great job on tha hook (motivational type) and you’re DEFINITELY ready fa tha 1st verse!! You did ya thang on tha 1st verse and I was right about you soundin’ like you havin’ fun on this track. Nice job wit tha “havin’ fun” hook and gr8 beat! Tha 2nd verse sounded like it went by quick but it was gr8. Ooh, a 2 Toxic production iz comin’ up next! My Rating: 4.3
EDIT: Didn’t notice tha producer credit (Sinema). Thumbs up ta Sinema producin’!!


06. “Want It With Me”
Yup, a 2 Toxic production here; lookin’ forward ta hearin’! >>> Tha hook start sounds betta than tha first few seconds that played at tha end of tha last song. Sounds like catchy lyrics (wit a near Eminem flow here) on tha 1st verse; keep it comin’, One-i! Tha 2nd verse has nothin’ but gr8 lyrics fa this Rap shit, so you know you doin’ ya thang on tha tracks! My Rating: 4.3


07. “Excuse Me” Feat. Pigg & Lil’ Witness
Ooh, ya included this HOT joint on here!! Tha intro sounds good wit Pigg on it. Sounds like this gon be “huge soundin’” like a boulder! Tha hook sounds gr8 wit you on it; sounds like mixin’ in tha hook almost? Either way, it’s DEFINITELY watz good wit tha beat! Nice 2nd verse wit all tha “hella” parts, combin’ wit a “helicopter!” Tha end to tha 2nd verse was RAW wit tha “hospital” part; you a beast, One-i!! Here’s Witness, witnessin’ a REAL TIGHT verse as he spits it on tha 3rd verse!! I like tha early mixin’ at 2:58; REAL GR8 verse right here!! ANOTHA REAL GR8 endin’ to tha verse wit tha whole “battle” thing!! Glad y’all got tha “ending verse” formula of makin’ it standout!! My Current Rating: 4.4


08. “Here Comes Trouble”
LOL @ tha “grouch” Grouch (just kiddin’) producin’ this song! I’m actually lookin’ forward ta hearin’ what he got on tha beat for you! >>> Good beat and gr8 hook start from you; thumbs up! Nice start to tha 1st verse wit tha “pound/bass” part! Nice job wit dat 1st verse and now, hearin’ tha hook for tha 2nd time and it sounds REAL good wit tha beat! Tha rhymes in tha 2nd verse was REAL GOOD this time!! Catchy song right here from dat boy One-i!! My Rating: 4.3


½time: Looks like anotha REAL GR8 start here!! This iz good, but tha ratings are not shiftin’ that much; most of them are next to each otha so tha tracks ride nearly equally. As much as it does, it makes tha average CD rating currently a 4.2, lol! Keep up tha gr8 work on this mixtape!!


09. “As I Am”
This iz tha missin’ track (DatPiff removed it for it havin’ a part from an original or somethin’). Lemme see what this really iz… *Checks* I don’t see anything up wit tha title, so lemme click tha info (in tha folder) on why it’s missin’… *Clicks* Oh, it’s over an Asher Roth beat. Well, DatPiff’ll only let me hear 30 seconds, so let’s see what goes down… >>> This iz a gr8 beat for you ta rap on and you sound gr8 on it! Oh, I see why DatPiff took it off: Towards tha end of tha 30 second sample (like tha last 10 seconds), it’s tha hook to tha Asher Roth song so DatPiff nailed it. Either way, good job on this shit. My Rating: 4.1


10. One-i Speaks
…And now an intermission, lol! Let’s see what you got ta say, my boy! >>> Glad you did this mixtape in “2 weeks;” no wonder its title, lol. My Rating: N/A


11. “I Get It”
Ooh, a Vybe production; this should be FIYA!!! >>> I have ta say, “WOW,” to tha beginning start of tha beat!! Great, long beat intro and tha hook iz here, soundin’ REAL GOOD fa you! DEFINITELY a gr8 anthem here!! Nice job deliverin’ tha 1st verse; nothin’ but dat good shit here, ya dig!! Tha 2nd verse iz also soundin’ gr8 on this shit as you just enjoyin’ tha track wit tha fire you’re spittin’!! Gotta luv Vybe wit tha productions!! I gotta look on my iPod ta see which songs I have dat Vybe produced so it will show up in my iPod’s info! My Rating: 4.5


12. “Game Face” Feat. Lil’ Witness
Shiftin’ ova to a Prince Blakk production here! Lil’ Witness iz on tha feature, so I most DEFINITELY have ta prepare myself wit anticipation here, ya dig!! >>> Sounds like a slower/gr8 beat intro here. Ooh, Witness starts tha song off on tha 1st verse!! Gotta luv his flow; it’s REAL gr8 wit its pace and err-thang!! Tha beat sounds REAL GOOD at :56 wit tha synth!! This iz DEFINITELY sum tight shit fa a slower pace!! This iz a MEGA collaboration wit how it sounds, ya feel me! REAL NICE hook too; DEFINITELY catchy!! Here you are on tha 2nd verse and although it ain’t up ta Witness’s level, you KNOW you gotta spit some of your shit here, ya dig! I like tha, “get folded like a bad hand,” line; good shit! My Rating: 4.6


13. “Heartless” Feat. Jayroc
Finally, a Jayroc feature, lol! I felt like it took a ton of songs ta happen, lol! It should be pretty good so let’s see how y’all do fa only 2:24 on tha length! >>> LOL, wit tha short-ass length, I figured it was tha Kanye West beat. Surprised DatPiff didn’t take this off ‘cause of tha sample here and there, lol. Pretty good rappin’, so I’ll give you tha props. ROFL!!! Tha WHOLE ENTIRE hook iz on here from Kanye West and DatPiff left it!! I rather them leave tha Asher Roth song on here instead; I find it funny! They just seem random; WTF? As far as Jayroc on tha 2nd verse, he’s soundin’ okay/good on his verse. Somewhat fits for this song itself, lol. Also, lol @ tha gr8 cut off before tha original’s bridge part! Tha beat intro to tha next song sounds tight, includin’ how it ended on this! My Rating: 3.8


14. “Grinder” Feat. Big Shane
Ooh, look at this collab!! I wonder how this came about? I know Big Shane wants ta collab wit err-body in Louisiana and I’m sure y’all were glad ta connect!! Let’s see how good it iz!! >>> Whateva this beat iz, it’s pretty good fa this (no producer listed so it could be jacked?). Big Shane sounds good in tha hook! Nice job wit dat and now, it’s you on tha 1st verse. You sound pretty good on this beat so I guess it was meant fa y’all. Glad you, “on yo block like Tetris;” that was a NICE ending line to tha 1st verse, ya dig!! Mr. Shane on tha 2nd verse and he on his grind! He ALWAYS on tha grind, ya dig! Gr8 flow from him, doin’ tha damn thang on this track! Tha next beat comin’ up definitely sounds like a jacked beat, but I think I heard tha very last few seconds’s “sound” before (maybe on tha last CD I reviewed?). Let’s see what it’ll be… My Rating: 4.3


15. “Center Of Attention” Feat. Sire & Prince Blakk
Neva mind, this iz 100% new fa me, includin’ tha 1st time I’m hearin’ Sire on a track!! I talked ta him a lot earlier in tha year on MySpace, but his cell phone neva worked or somethin’ so we currently haven’t talked by phone yet. He really gots luv fa you, ya dig! WHP did tha track, so this should be tha DEFINITE “center of attention,” fa real!! >>> Gr8 start and once tha singin’ came in, I knew it was Prince Blakk right away. Gotta like his “yeah, dawg” singin’ part 2x, lol (sounded gr8 fa singin’)! I’m assumin’ my boy Sire iz on tha 1st verse; sounds gr8 fa this shit! If only I can get sum of his shit that’s out (if any iz out ‘cause I don’t have anything)… REAL GR8 flow on this TIGHT beat, doin’ tha damn thang!! He DEFINITELY gangsta wit it on tha track so you KNOW I got luv fa him all day, ya dig!!! You’re on tha 2nd verse, One-i, and it’s DEFINITELY anotha TIGHT verse right here, ya dig!! Nothin’ but RAW shit bein’ spit here to tha fullest!! Looks like I gon enjoy tha hook ‘til tha very end since it repeated a 2nd time! Sounds like an interestin’ start wit tha rain in tha beginning of tha next song… Ooh, and it’s a Vybe production!! My Rating: 4.6


16. “Puzzle” Feat. Smoke
I wonder who this Smoke dude iz… I thought I saw his name somewhere, but I guess he’s a newbie. Wit a REAL GR8 title here, let’s see how we do wit a 3:00 song wit Vybe on tha track!! >>> Yup, ANOTHA gr8 song based off tha 1st few seconds!! Gotta hit dat boy Vybe up and tell him how GR8 I am!! Oh wow, look at tha HELLA FAST rappin’ from Smoke on tha 1st verse!! REAL GR8 rapid-fire rhymin’ here!!! Nearly sounds like Lil’ Witness at 1st; it’s TOO GR8!!! You’re on tha 2nd verse and you’re much slower on tha rappin’ here. Either way, you sound good fa what you’re doin’ wit this Rap shit so keep all these GR8 tracks comin’!! My Rating: 4.5


17. 2 Weeks Notice Outro
Not a song this time, lol. But, thanx to all those previous songs, tha average CD rating creeped up!! Find out how it did afta I hear this outro!! >>> You DEFINITELY “shakin’ thangz up this year,” ya dig!! My bad fa bein’ SO FAR behind from reviewin’ this! I KNOW I should’ve reviewed this earlier in tha year, but it’s a GR8 time now, ESPECIALLY since I got tha radio show goin’ down fa undaground Louisiana Rap music! Keep up these GR8 mixtapes!!! My Rating: N/A


Overall: Quite ironic… Last time, it was a collaboration mixtape between you and Pigg. Now, tha start and end times of this review were both tha birthdayz of my dad and his wife, lol!! You just CAN’T AVOID ANYTHING that has ta do wit a collaboration One-i, lol!! Keep up tha gr8 work, or should I say me, ‘cause I ‘bout ta review more shit of your’s!! Just like Deal Or No Deal’s on tha “Million Dollar Mission,” I feel like I’m on my “One-i Review Mission,” lol!!
