Took a lil’ break (due to tha humid/hot weather) but now, I’m tryna shake back
here… Too many CDs on my desktop so lemme just get to it. Here goes my review
for Ray Vicks “36 O’s Later”! Start Time: 4:44 PM | End
Time: 5:57 PM
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!

01. “36 O’s Later (Intro)”
Startin’ off wit tha title track. >>> “3rd mixtape?” Where are tha others? Good start; “2,008 grams?” Iz this from “2008?” Oh, I think you said, “1,008 grams;” my bad. Good hook for tha start; you must be REAL good!! Tha 1st verse sounds real good wit you representin’; good job wit this intro! LOL, “Q-Red” did tha beat here? I wouldn’t’ve guessed; why was he afraid to put tha beat tag, lol? My Rating: 4.5
02. “Gucci, Louis”
What could this be? >>> Oh, so “Louis” iz pronounced “Louie?” Interestin’… Sounds like it could be Q-Red again on tha beat; catchy hook! Tha 1st verse iz really typical; sounds like a mainstream song now… Tha 2nd verse iz a lil’ betta here… My Rating: 3.8
03. “Go Hard” Feat. Lil’ Boosie
>>> Sounds okay for a start but it’s definitely hot for a song/hook! “We got” HOT shit here on tha 1st verse from you; lots of shit! Tha 2nd verse from Boosie’s good; good job wit tha collab! He did tha damn thang on tha end of tha verse too! My Rating: 4.4
04. “Bands” Feat. Yungsta & Squirm G
Good, some newbies here! Hope everything turns out GR8! >>> Good beat again. I almost thought it turned into a baby-Pop-type beat but it’s pretty hot. Tha hook’s cool; anotha money-type song, lol. You’re spittin’ consistent rhymes on tha 1st verse here; good shit. Here comes tha 2nd verse… Sounds cool for a start wit how they sound! LOL, Yungsta couldn’t hold onto tha whole verse as Squirm G took tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse here. He sounds like Lil’ Phat a lil’ bit… A lil’ on tha cool side but I rather hear Yungsta. Tha 3rd verse has a played-out “turn my ___ on” part; “scale” or “swag,” still played out. A short verse from you here… My Rating: 4.1
05. “Downtown”
>>> Mainstream shit here; not too crazy about this wit tha R&B style on tha hook. Tha fake orgasm shit in tha hook ain’t workin’ fa me either. Not much ta say about tha 1st verse… It sounded like tha 2nd hook started too late, lol. No comment on tha 2nd verse here… My Rating: 2.4
06. “My Life Story”
>>> Oh no, BOO @ tha jacked beat! Very old Diplomats soundin’ here; I shouldn’t even comment… LOL @ tha baby whinin’ in it too; I rememba dat from ? amount of years ago, lol! Tha rappin’s much betta than tha last song… Tha 2nd verse sounds like this iz not for me; not my kinda song (blame this beat). My Rating: 2.1
07. “Everybody Watchin’”
>>> Tha beat sounds scary; might’ve heard it before… Tha hook sounds too typical/Soulja Boy Tell ‘Emish; I’m not buyin’ this! Tha 1st verse’s ehh…; not buyin’ this beat either! Leave this shit “in Georgia;” this AIN’T “BR” music to me! Iz there a feature on tha 2nd verse? Where tha hell’s tha source? It sounds betta now wit tha beat too… Anotha feature on tha 3rd verse? Are these tha same dudes from Song #4? My Rating: 2.7
08. “Do Ur Dance” Feat. BBGz
Uh, oh… >>> Huh? J Buc beat? It had to be original? I thought this was easily gonna be jacked… Boring hook for me. Gay, gay, gay lyrics in tha 1st verse… I don’t need ta hear anything afta “Pop, Lock & Drop It!” I’m not feelin’ this borin’ 2nd verse too from tha feature… Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse’s “dick, dick, dick,” everywhere… A lil’ obsessive… Damn, a 3rd verse too? Sounds betta on tha voice though… My Rating: 1.8
09. “On Me” Feat. Squirm G
Must be Lil’ Phatful, lol… >>> A lil’ betta wit tha creepin’ intro/hook. I’m not really feelin’ tha 1st verse; it’s borin’ me wit tha content I always hear. Oh, no, tha Lil’ Phat dude, lol… Sounds betta here than tha last time he was on here. I hear tha 3rd verse and I dunno what to say… My Rating: 3.4
½time: Kinda sour for a start here… I think some of tha beats were a no-no mixed wit some boring content. What happened to tha 1st few songs? That was tha start dat started it off! Now, currently, I’m at a 3.2 for tha average CD rating.
10. “My Body”
>>> Odd beat intro… Almost thought it was Grind on tha beat for a 1st listen but it’s really Q-Red, lol. Tha beat’s cool for a song like this but tha sample in tha hook scares me; I think I’m hearin’ a Pretty Ricky song or somethin’ and I almost thought it was remindin’ me of an ’07 song… Tha rhymes are a lil’ betta than those typical rhymes I’ve heard earlier… But, this izn’t anything special at all. My Rating: 3.1
11. “The Grind” Feat. Fee
Am I gonna need a “fee” to enjoy REALLY good music, smh/lol? >>> Tha beat’s good… Not bad 1st verse; it goes wit this song. Finally, a decent hook dat sounds good. Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta too… I thought tha featured artist would be a female but he’s on tha 3rd verse; okay… My Rating: 3.9
12. “Call Me, Text Me” Feat. Lil’ Phat & Tawain
Not lookin’ forward to this… >>> Sounds like “Downtown”. Tha gurl on tha feature may sound a lil’ on tha sexy side wit tha hook but I have to get used to it. Tha good thing iz it reminds me of some ’02 R&B-type shit. Tha 1st verse from you’s aight; I like all those kicks in tha beat! Phat’s on tha 2nd verse. It’s almost like I have to feel sorry or somethin’ for tha verse, lol… It was a catchy combo though for this song. My Rating: 3.7
13. “Dope Dick” Feat. Squirm G & Rambo
>>> Sounds like a J Buc beat before I can even see tha ID… It’s a Q-Red beat this time and sounds like it gon be an explicit song dat gon be good… Okay, this iz definitely catchy; what a crazy hook, lol! Tha 1st verse’s doin’ tha damn thang here; nice job on tha collaboration! It sounds like I hear tha “dunn-dunn-dunn-dunn” Bounce sample in this beat too! Tha 2nd verse from both tha features are gr8… Squirm G did a good job on tha 1st ½ but Rambo’s REALLY holdin’ down tha 2nd ½!! VERY GOOD 1st time hearin’ him!! My Rating: 4.6
14. “On The Moon” Feat. Squirm G
I think of this as cheesy but lemme hear it… >>> I thought it was gonna be some hot Technoish beat but it sounds pretty cheesy on tha beat. Tha hook sounds like it’s catchy though; Lil’ Issue wit tha holdin’ tha note. Tha 1st verse fits wit tha catchiness… Tha 2nd verse iz G and he aight wit what he spittin’…; gotta feel tha “presidential” shit. My Rating: 4.0
15. “Neva Let U Go”
>>> I thought I was gonna be disappointed at first… Speakin’ of Techno, it took a while to think of it but this sounds like Lasgo “Alone” on tha sample; gotta feel it! Although a lil’ cheesy, you KNOW if it’s a Techno sample, it’s a definite plus! Tha beat’s cool and tha 1st verse’s REAL GOOD wit tha drug-related shit!! Tha 2nd verse’s good; good shit on this joint. Tha talkin’ before tha 3rd verse sounds like some gutta shit ‘bout ta come out of tha 3rd verse! Here’s tha 3rd verse and yea, it iz pretty gutta! My Rating: 4.6
16. “Go Ham” Feat. BBGz
Maybe tha BBGz’ll be betta this time; let’s see this joint. >>> Ooh, pretty good on tha hook!! Tha beginning kinda sounded typical wit tha title but it’s DEFINITELY a tight song!! Tha beat’s real cool and tha 1st verse’s pretty good wit this collab!! Tha 2nd time I’m hearin’ tha hook now and it sounds REALLY on point!! Tha 2nd verse’s gutta as hell too!! Tha 3rd verse’s blazin’ up tha mic too; good shit once again!! Techno ending on tha last seven seconds; thumbs up!! My Rating: 4.7
17. “My Star” Feat. Fee
I dunno about this one; let’s see how it’ll be wit Fee (lol @ tha rhyme)… >>> Long intro but it sounds like it’s gettin’ anticipatin’ ‘round tha :33 mark. Tha 1st verse sounds good. A lil’ on tha Young Jeezy soundin’ here wit tha beat but it’s sounds good for Louisiana shit! Oh, so tha beginning was tha hook? Good shit… Tha 2nd verse’s DEFINITELY focused here!! VERY good shit from Fee!! Only “16 years old” when it comes to “handlin’ pies?” Rough shit for tha hood! This CD’s startin’ ta make a NICE comeback towards tha end! My Rating: 4.4
18. “Been Brand New”
Let’s keep it comin’! >>> Anotha Young Jeezyish soundin’ beat here; you’re holdin’ down tha hook… Lots of “brand new” shit in tha 1st verse, lol; interestin’… Tha 2nd verse’s good enough ta hold this joint down… There’s even a 3rd verse and it’s good too… Okay song that’s above average for me. My Rating: 3.7
19. “Angels” Feat. Rambo
Rambo on tha last joint… How will this sound? >>> I knew I wasn’t gonna really like tha beginning/beat/hook but since it sounds like Sarah McLachlan, I think I gon like it… Pretty dark here wit tha beat and tha 1st verse’s gutta; feelin’ these lyrics! Rambo sounds good on tha 2nd verse too; DEFINITELY a gutta track and endin’!! My Rating: 4.3
Overall: Turned out to be pretty good after all! What a GR8 set of songs towards tha end!! Keep grindin’ and thumbs up ta workin’ wit producers like Q-Red & J Buc! Thumbs up also to those REALLY GR8 collaborations!!!
