Review #341: One-i "Barry Bonds: Flow On Steroids"

Reviewed on 12.05.2009 (Night of 12.04.2009) (Review #341)




LOL!! Shit yea!! Ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog STILL up ‘cause it’s a NON-STOP grind!! This only my 4th review today and it gon be my final for tha day. Lettin’ it be STSful (lol), here goes my review fa One-i Barry Bonds: Flow On Steroids! Start Time: 1:33 AM | End Time: 3:00 AM


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. Field Of Dreams
Looks like a song title but it’s only 31 seconds long… I’m guessin’ it’s a GR8 intro mixed by DJ Scrap, lol? >>> It sounds like a Baseball speech… Catchy speech right there and good quote! My Rating: N/A


02. “Barry Bonds”
This iz how you feel and within 70 seconds, let’s see how you do! >>> You doin’ ya thang on this beat, keepin’ tha theme of Baseball in play! This sounds like an intro track so that’s watz good! You doin’ ya thang on this; run through tha bases, my boy, lol!! My Rating: 4.3


03. One-i Speaks
LOL, they spelled your name “Oni-i” on tha back cover, smh? Let’s hear what you got ta say… >>> Yea!! You got dat “I’m Sick Wit It” joint comin’ up next!! That’s DEFINITELY watz good!! My Rating: N/A


04. “I’m Sick Wit It” Feat. Savage & Lil’ Cali
SMH @ anotha error on tha back cover: “I’m Sick Wit If”? Anyway, you KNOW this iz tha shit right here!!! You startin’ off RIGHT AWAY on this pretty good Savage beat! Glad your “pants hangin’ low” ‘cause saggin’ iz somethin’ that WON’T stop, lol! Nothin’ botherin’ you, so you just deliver tha rhymes without tha haterz!! GREAT job right there and Savage doin’ a REAL NICE job on tha hook!! Tha title part sounds REAL nice!! Cali here on tha 2nd verse, always doin’ a good job on these str8 up hood bangaz!! Catchy shit from him, although tha verse sounded short. I still REALLY felt it, so you KNOW these boyz doin’ tha damn thang!! Shit, there’s a whole minute left; will Savage be on tha 3rd verse? Nope, you took tha verse, One-i, but I’m glad three verses fit on this right here!! LOL @ your “I’m down bad, that means I’m ‘so whopped’” part; nice reference! Soundin’ betta on this verse than your 1st verse; great shit here!! My Current Rating: 4.6


05. “Pistol Play” (Bae Bae Feat. One-i)
This should be a REAL HOT collaboration, no less it bein’ a newbie’s song!! >>> Oh, neva mind, I see tha short length of 1:26, so this must just be your verse… Either way, it sounds like dat gr8 Louisiana shit here! Tha flow sounds gr8 on here and it’s definitely cool fa this shit, ya dig! Looks like Bae Bae iz anotha rapper ta look out for, ya dig! Oh no, I hear a “Big Things Poppin’” beat comin’ up; how will you handle it? My Rating: 4.2


06. “Everybody Floppin’”
46 seconds!! >>> Sounds good. You DEFINITELY got tha right shit fa tha hood here, ya dig! Keep doin’ tha damn thang! My Rating: 4.1


07. “Move Around (DJ Scrap Remix)” Feat. Bun B
Thought this was familiar… Jacked beat song? I don’t know what ta expect but let’s see… >>> Oh, it’s just a Bun B sample. Yea, tha beat iz familiar here… You doin’ ya thang on tha verse here, deliverin’ str8 street shit wit dat GR8 flow!! Gotta luv tha :30 - :40 part wit tha “thuggin’” shit, acapella style!! Glad you “got” err-thang! My Rating: 4.2


08. “Nawmeen”
I’m assumin’ I know what beat this iz since it’s only 53 seconds long… >>> Nope, not tha Baby Boy Da Prince one; sounds different. It sounds like you’ll be easily able ta do tha damn thang on this, ya dig! Yea, “give you a hot beat and you’ll show you what ta do wit it;” tight line! REAL NICE job wit this one! My Rating: 4.3


09. “Daddy Got To Eat” Feat. Lil’ Witness
I knew this was an original when I saw tha length of 2:48! Produced by Krypta, let’s see what goes down… >>> Startin’ off wit Witness, comin’ through REALLY on tha hood tip here wit his incredible flow!! Tha beat sounds cool, although I know it gon continue ta sound this good and get BETTA by tha time elapses!! He did a REAL GR8 job on his verse and tha hook iz catchy wit tha somewhat singin’; REAL good shit here!! Let’s see how you do, One-i, on tha 2nd verse… LOL, all these reviewz I’m doin’ fa you feels like it’s your birthday or somethin’, lol. I’m likin’ your verse, although it doesn’t touch how Witness came through on tha track, lol! My Rating: 4.3


10. “Talk Slick” (J Cry Feat. One-i)
Anotha collab… Let’s see this one! >>> Tha J dude sounds cool on tha track; good shit so far! He did tha damn thang on tha hook and now, it’s you on tha verse. I rememba this beat, but can’t quite picture tha original in my head fa some reason, lol. Either way, you doin’ a nice job on it! I hear a 2 Toxic production comin’ up next? HOPE SO!! My Rating: 4.2
EDIT: I looked on DatPiff and it says J Cry; why does it say J C…y on tha back cover?


11. “Want It With Me”
I KNEW I was gonna know it ‘cause of tha producer hint wit tha previous song (2 Toxic). Tha hook start sounds good. 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 Current Rating: 4.3


12. One-i Speaks 2
Tha 2nd speakin’ skit… >>> Who DOESN’T know YOU?!? My Rating: N/A


13. “Heard ‘Bout Us (DJ Scrap Remix)”
Let’s see how this remix gon go… >>> A lil’ bit of Boosie in tha beginning… You sound good on this beat. I don’t know what ta say… I guess this iz my 100somethingth positive comment for you: Nice job wit tha rappin’, lol! My Rating: 4.0


14. “Epic Shit”
Krypta on tha beat again!! I like tha title, but it would be even BETTA “epic shit” if it was longer than 62 seconds!! >>> No matter tha length, you TEAR up tha track easily!! Gotta luv how you come through on tha tracks at times; you sound gr8 on this beat! Good job and lol @ tha Weezy, “fresher than a ma’fucka,” sample comin’ up next! My Rating: 4.3


15. “Fresh”
Here we go! >>> Startin’ RIGHT off wit tha Weezy sample mentioned in tha last song! It flowed gr8 and now, your verse gon flow wit it! You did ya thang on tha verse wit tha strong rhymes you spit. Err-thang you spit sounds gr8 on every track, ya dig! My Rating: 4.3


16. “Jealousy”
A Real Juicy beat this time; how “juicy” will it be fa Louisiana, lol? >>> Sounds pretty good fa a start; can’t complain on tha original production! When it’s an original production, you sound tougher on tha mic, ya dig! My Rating: 4.1


17. “Out The Frame”
A longer song; I’m assumin’ I gon enjoy this one also!! >>> LOL @ tha New Zealand Savage “Swing” beat; you actually sound good on it! Catchy hook on this shit; you get a thumbs up fa this! I heard you spit “lava” on tha 1st verse. That’s watz good ‘cause it’s DEFINITELY a hot verse and HOT rhymes fa this beat!! A 2nd verse here and you’re still deliverin’ tha catchy rhymes; too bad tha verse was short. Let’s see if there’ll be a 3rd verse here… Yup, you threw a 3rd verse on this bitch! Very short verse but you did tha damn thang on tha whole song! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Made it to tha ½ mark in only 36 minutes! Keep up tha gr8 work ‘cause this whole mixtape iz on dat 5 star status so far!! Tha average CD rating iz currently a NICE 4.3, which I believe iz tha mean, median and mode of all tha ratings, lol!!


18. “Wheels Fall Off”
Why iz this one missin’ off tha back cover? SMH @ that error! >>> Tha beat sounds cool and tha hook iz DEFINITELY watz up! Tha 1st verse sounds good; gotta luv how you come through on each track!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good too fa tha hood; nothin’ but str8 hood shit here!! You held tha WHOLE verse down, my boy!! My Rating: 4.3


19. “Shake Back” (Zippa Feat. One-i)
YES!! A Vybe production!!! >>> This shit sounds gr8 and Zippa sounds REAL GOOD on this shit!! DEFINITELY a catchy joint right here and fits GR8 fa this mixtape!! Zippa’s even on tha 1st verse; props fa givin’ dat boy shine on this mixtape! He doin’ tha damn thang and I’m glad he got his “pants saggin’” ‘cause he doin’ tha damn thang! Here you finally come on tha 2nd verse… Still comin’ through fa tha hood! My Rating: 4.4


20. “All Day” (Rico Feat. One-i)
Ooh, anotha collab song! And we got Trackburna on this track so you KNOW I gon have a GR8 feelin’ about this!! >>> Tha beginning sounds good fa a start, nearly remindin’ me of tha last song (I guess ‘cause they blended in at first). Tha 1st verse was cool but tha hook sounds betta! Props fa collaboratin’ wit anotha future rapper, One-i!! Here you come on tha 2nd verse, spittin’ a gr8 flow once again! Good job wit this catchy song. My Rating: 4.3


21. “What To Do”
You tell me wit these 93 seconds! >>> LOL @ tha P$C “Set It Off” random beat! Didn’t expect dat one; I know you’ll do tha damn thang on it! Catchy verse and you make tha hook sound catchy from tha original too. My Rating: 4.0


22. “Chevy Riding Tall”
A year later from tha “Set It Off” beat and you got… >>> Neva mind, I thought it was tha “Chevy Ridin’ High” beat; not sure what this iz. Tha hook sounds catchy, includin’ tha intro that was played before it. You sound good on this shit; thumbs up ta you deliverin’ banga afta banga afta banga afta banga!! You got a flow that’ll last a long time! No wonder why you got SOOOOOOOO many mixtapes out!! My Rating: 4.1


23. “If You A Beast” (Koach Soldier Feat. One-i)
This one of your artists? Let’s see what’s up… >>> It DEFINITELY sounds GR8 for a start!! Gotta LUV when artists like this one come through on tha track like “a beast,” ya dig!! REAL TIGHT hook wit a REAL GR8 beat!! Oh, here you come on tha verse; I thought it was gonna be Koach for a second. Glad you did ya thang on tha verse, my boy! LOL @ tha fade-out… My Rating: 4.4


24. “Who’s Bad”
Who iz? That’s tha question! >>> I was like, what happened to tha first eight seconds? Tha beat sounds kinda quiet here… Okay, it finally started and you doin’ a nice job deliverin’ this shit here! I like tha shit you be spittin’ here, describin’ ya ownself; thumbs up ta you once again! My Rating: 4.0


25. One-i Speaks 3
Do it up! >>> LOL @ you and your “muthafucka” part! My Rating: N/A


26. “One-i Taking Over”
Hope you do it big on this one too!! >>> Hope this izn’t tha crash of tha mixtape ‘cause it’s that gay-ass “We Takin’ Over” beat… I won’t criticize ‘cause you do a nice job on this beat; your flow makes it stand out BIG time! My Rating: 4.1


27. “Like Some Music”
I do; gimme more! >>> A weird intro wit tha weird female sample… Not that special so far… Good job rappin’ tha 1st verse although it’s weird wit this weird beat… Even a 2nd verse and you’re doin’ a good job. I think we set a record that it took 27 songs fa tha ratings ta go under 4.0; that’s DEFINITELY watz good fa settin’ a record!! My Rating: 3.8


28. “It’s Over” Feat. Prince Blakk
A WHP production wit Blakk on tha feature! Let’s see how it goes down! >>> Sounds like a NICE beat intro; gotta like how it changes up! It sounds even BETTA at :18, lol! Sounds like this iz an interestin’ song, so mad props already! Tha 1st verse iz here and you deliverin’ top notch shit here, ya dig! Great rhymin’ towards tha end of tha 1st verse wit tha “swine flu” and “you know how One-i do” parts! Tha 2nd verse sounded gr8; gotta luv when you rap on tha synths of tha beat!! Even a lil’ bridge before tha song ends, lol! Glad you contributin’ as much as you can fa these tracks!! This song may be “over,” but tha One-i reviewz ain’t, lol!! My Rating: 4.5


29. “Oprah Money” Feat. Kooley
Ooh, I know who Kooley (New Orleans representative) iz (747 stand up)! Shout out ta Duce, his patna! Let’s see how y’all got this “Oprah money”… >>> LOL @ tha Swizz Beatz song “That Oprah” from last year’s beat. Yea, that’s Kooley on tha 1st verse; he sounds GR8 on this shit! Tha hook iz tha same, only him vocalizin’ it. Nice contribution from him and now, let’s see what you do… LOL, you sound cool on this joint right here. Nice job wit this shit; I’m feelin’ it. My Rating: 4.1


30. “Over The Top”
YES!! A Vybe production AGAIN!!! REALLY lookin’ forward ta this one!!! >>> Gotta luv how he comes through on tha beats!! These beats don’t stop and I’m sure you’re gonna come through HARD on this one!! I hear a kick-in at :20 and it sounds good as well as tha effects seconds later! Tha hook sounds good on this shit; glad you made ANOTHA catchy song, ya dig!! Tha 1st verse sounds good, still spittin’ your own shit that sounds gr8 on every fuckin’ track!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good too as you just keep goin’! My Rating: 4.2


31. “Turn The Lights On” (Jayroc Feat. One-i)
Ooh, a Jayroc production as well as a feature!! Let’s see how good this one iz… >>> Ooh, sounds like a raw intro! Tha beat iz creepin’ up; this HAS ta be good!!! He sounds good on tha 1st verse and tha shit he spittin’ on this GR8 beat iz mad catchy fa err-body!! Even tha hook iz REAL GOOD!! This iz DEFINITELY sum good shit here!!! You’re on tha 2nd verse and you’re just ALWAYS protected at times wit your “pitbulls” wit you, ya dig! Nice job deliverin’ your verse as you just did ya thang wit it… LIKE ALWAYS!! My Rating: 4.5


32. “You Ain’t Saying Nothing (DJ Scrap Remix)” Feat. Lil’ Boosie
What could this be…? >>> Oh, it’s tha Fat Joe/Plies/Dre beat from last year… I’m surprised DatPiff didn’t remove it from tha folder (knowin’ them) ‘cause tha hook iz still tha same. Here comes Boosie on tha 1st verse, doin’ a pretty good job wit what he usually spits when he comes on a track. You on tha 2nd verse and it sounds good, ya dig! There’s NEVA anything wrong wit tha shit you spit; it ALWAYS sounds good on ANY track, mainly any beat!! My Rating: 4.1


33. “Pop Me A Pill” (The Cartel Feat. One-i)
Ooh, what a GR8 title ta nearly end tha mixtape off!! AJC on this beat, huh? I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ it!!! >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ intro… Then, it sounds like a teaser wit tha short hook wit tha “pop me a pill” part! Now, I hear tha hook and it’s DEFINITELY on tha tight tip!! Again wit tha Limp Bizkit sample of “Rollin’” (that Down Bad did)? LOL, more randomness!! Tha beat iz good although it could’ve been more energetic? Nice job on tha 1st verse from The Cartel; he did his thang on this shit. Let’s see tha 2nd verse… It’s him again and he’s DEFINITELY doin’ a nice job on this shit!! I have a feelin’ this’ll tie tha “I’m Sick Wit It” joint’s rating, but I like dat song betta. Tha jiggalatin’ lyrics are SO GR8 in tha 2nd verse; SUCH THA STYLE I LUV!!! Here you come through on tha 3rd verse! LOL, lemme hear your jiggalatin’ lyrics, One-i, lol… Not sure how much of jiggalatin’ it was but it was a cool verse. My Rating: 4.6


34. Outro
Here we go… And what we gon end it off wit? >>> Glad you providin’ dat info fa err-body, ya dig! Lookin’ forward ta reviewin’ MORE of your shit!!! My Rating: N/A


Overall: It’s 3:00 AM on tha dot and I just finished a REALLY GR8 mixtape review fa my boy One-i!! You kept me awake wit ALL THESE BANGAZ, ya dig!! Only I would take tha time out from 1:33 – 3:00 AM and review all these jointz like it was PM instead of AM, ya heard me!! Who KNOWS what CD I’ll review when I wake up, lol!!
