Got anotha BoRob Entertainment review comin’ at cha right now!!! Here goes my review for iKane “American Eagle”!! Start Time: 5:02 PM | End Time: 5:55 PM
Quick Note: 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) 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.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=150615427746
01. “Intro”
How will you start thangz off? >>> This iz coKane (from tha “Gucci By Gucci” mixtape). I guess you go by “iKane” for non-controversial reasons. Tha beat here sounds like a jacked beat but who knows. Yea, here you come on here wit a NICE flow!! Got 14 BANGAZ here; ‘preciate it!! My Rating: 4.1
02. “Made 2 Fly”
Of course, you’re an “american eagle” like tha CD title!! >>> R. Kelly sounds fucked up on this sample; too much in tha voice. Tha song itself iz just a lil’ below average for me but your rappin’ in your verse was above average. My Rating: 3.2
03. “Hood Anthem” Feat. Hollywood & A.u.
Shit yea, we got tha “Hood Anthem” on here again!! >>> Oh wait, I thought I knew this song… It’s different and tha hook iz okay; not really inta tha voice. Tha beat pretty good and tha 1st verse soundin’ pretty good. Hollywood ALWAYS comes through wit hot shit; glad he’s on tha 2nd verse!! Hope he comes out wit a mixtape soon; y’all REALLY on tha grind wit all these CDs!!! Let’s see what A.u. gon deliver fa tha last verse… He doin’ good wit how he comes through wit tha tracks! My Rating: 4.2
04. “Got Money”
There’s no title listed; let’s see what I can call it… >>> Tha beginning ain’t that interestin’ fa me but it sounds like it turns inta a mainstream-type of song. I’ll just call it “Got Money.” You’re doin’ a good job on tha 1st verse; nothin’ really ta say but thumbs up. Tha 2nd verse iz a lil’ betta here; keep tha rappin’ up. My Rating: 3.6
05. “Tougher Than” Feat. A.u. & Tezzy Maine
SMH @ tha wrong “then/than.” It’s “than,” not “then.” Now then, lemme check it out. >>> A.u.? Tezzy Maine? Not only tha “then/than” error but no source on tha features on tha info? SMH too… LMAO @ tha Weezy sample wit his “Nigerian hair” in tha hook! I guess A.u.’s first, doin’ tha damn thang here! He “huggin’ this game so tight like a bear!” DEFINITELY a good 1st verse from him, ya dig! I guess we got tha Tezzy dude up next! Good start ta his verse! Speakin’ of tha “bear” line, Tezzy’s “rare like an African bear,” lol!! You’re left, so let’s see what you got… A RAW start to tha 3rd verse! You REALLY doin’ a nice job here on this track, ya dig! Gotta luv tha “dawg” parts. My Rating: 4.5
06. “Go Flow” Feat. Gutta Squad
Don’t know what I’ll hear… >>> I heard “Gutta Squad;” are they on this? Again, you forgot tha source! Tha 1st verse good; nothin’ much but a flow here. I feel like nothin’s changin’ up here… There was even an outro on this, lol. My Rating: 3.4
07. “Cloud Dr.”
LOL @ this title; good shit! Hope tha song iz tha same as what I think! >>> Came through outta nowhere wit an okay beat start. Had a “Dr.” Mario invision for a second ‘cause of tha “Dr.” in tha title. Tha hook sounds good; I like tha screwed hook again. Not bad on tha 1st verse here… Towards tha 1:34 mark (wit tha “spit more coke” part), it sounds betta. Nothin’ really much ta say about tha 2nd verse though. My Rating: 3.5
½time: Not bad of a CD so far. It’s like back and forth between a real hot joint and an okay joint. Only 3.8 iz tha average CD rating so far; hope it goes up!
08. “Moved On”
Next joint… >>> Anotha start that’s a lil’ weird for me. Not really into this song; tha hook R&Bish. You’re doin’ a pretty good job on tha verses but this izn’t my kinda song. What a long last minute… My Rating: 2.3
09. “Spit Water”
Looks like a good title or a Weezy-type title. I’ll expect good for somethin’ only 107 seconds long. >>> This beat iz only decent for me but it’s above average; don’t like tha beat tag throughout it. You did ya thang wit tha rappin’; not bad. My Rating: 3.5
10. “Take You 2 Da Moon”
Now, it looks like a Kid Cudi title, lol. I hope this iz better… >>> Anotha weird intro wit tha beat… LOL, you said tha last title (“Spit Water”) immediately in this song, lol (when I didn’t even hear it in tha last song). Tha 1st verse was just okay and tha hook a lil’ betta; nothin’ spectacular though. Tha 2nd verse was like tha same to me. My Rating: 2.8
11. “Ya Gotta Feel Me” Feat. A.u. & Gutta Boy Gucci
I’m tryin’ to… Bear wit me. >>> LOL, Gutta Boy Gucci & A.u. on it. I rememba tha intro but iz this a title change? This was “I’m Ready” from tha “Gucci By Gucci” mixtape… That title looked embarassing so I gon change it when I can. Tha start in tha beat sounds a lil’ odd… Sounds like a jacked beat… Tha hook was good here. It sounds like A.u. iz on tha 1st verse? Good shit here. I think Gutta’s on tha 2nd verse here, spittin’ some life-type shit here for tha hood. You’re on tha 3rd verse here, spittin’ some consistent shit! My Current Rating: 4.1
12. “Dying To Meet You”
>>> I don’t like tha soft start. Tha hook too much not my style; sounds boring. No comment on tha 1st verse. I thought you had “coKane”-type rhymes? Can’t comment on tha 2nd verse; let’s just say it’s equal to tha 1st verse. My Rating: 1.3
13. “Tru Spitta”
I lost all my anticipation fa this mixtape now. >>> Oh God @ tha intro sample. Tha 1st verse iz a lil’ betta… Sounds like an I Wayne hook; this must be a jacked beat? A lil’ betta also in tha 2nd verse (from different songs on here, not tha 1st verse). My Rating: 2.4
14. “Thoughts”
Let’s end it. >>> Oh no, anotha Obama sample song? I heard one not too long ago on a review and it just made me lol. So, tha whole beginning iz a speech ova an okay beat? Tha hook finally came about 1:30 in and was only decent. I don’t know what ta say about tha 1st verse; what does it have ta do wit tha title? Okay, I heard tha hook again and at least it’s good ta “write.” My Rating: 2.7
Overall: Too bad this CD disappointed me in wayz. Only a few songs were hot.
