Review #601: Parktown Bone "Pineapple Sunkist (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 8.08.2010 (Review #601)




Afta reviewin’ my boy Parktown Bone’s previous CD, “Assault & Battery,” you KNOW I had ta jump onto tha next CD of his, Pineapple Sunkist (The Mixtape)!! DEFINITELY lookin’ forward ta seein’ how my boy gon continue from dat “Assault & Battery”!! Start Time: 10:31 PM | End Time: 11:39 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.

01. “Electric Avenue”
A short song so I assume it’s a freestyle? >>> You still have tha gr8, Lil’ Wayne-type voice and tha production (of whateva beat this iz) sounds good; hot shit! “Gas prices gettin’ low;” iz this like Late ’08 ‘cause that’s when tha “gas prices” were at a low for a while…? LOL @ tha actual “Electric Avenue” sample on tha end! My Rating: 4.0


02. “Steven Segal”
LOL, what kinda name iz dat? >>> Lil’ bit of “Set It Off” for tha beat here; DEFINITELY givin’ dat GR8 Louisiana sound here wit your gutta rhymes!! You held it down for tha 1st verse here; doin’ tha damn thang!! Oh, tha hook’s here now afta tha 1st verse and it’s catchy; this title’s pretty catchy ta hear… LOL, now tha end turned into LCD Soundsystem “North American Scum”, lol? Your endings are startin’ ta catch my attention!! My Rating: 4.2


03. “Step Brothaz”
Tha length iz 4:27 so iz this gonna be an original beat? >>> Sounds like a live beat of tha “Set It Off” beat, lol… Tha beat’s pretty catchy wit its instruments and tha hook sounds good! LOL, sometimes, you also sound like my boy Baby L’s outta Houma wit your voice too! Tha 1st verse’s just gutta to tha, you know, “BONE,” lol!! Really luvin’ how these titles sound; MEGA catchy here!! Tha 2nd verse’s you spittin’ all dat real shit dat you do day by day, ya dig! Tha 3rd verse’s also good ta hear; it goes ta show you dat you got a lot ta say! LOL, this song broke tha “no-song-at-tha-end” chain… My Rating: 4.3


04. “Dreamz”
I dunno what ta say… >>> I don’t anticipate when I hear an original hook (this time, it’s Curren$y)… Tha 1st verse sounds like it has a lot ta do wit your “cars,” lol… A 2nd verse fit here and it sounds betta wit tha “smokin’” start. Tha rest of tha verse iz kinda straight; sounded like a noticeable paste @ 2:02… My Rating: 3.6


05. “State Lines” Feat. Beast Boy
Now THIS iz more like it wit a Guss beat and a feature!! Let’s see how GR8 this iz, ESPECIALLY ta hear Beast Boy for tha 1st time!! >>> Thought tha vocals would scare me in tha beginning but it’s aight… Tha beat’s pretty good here fa y’all and tha hook sounds cool wit tha alternation… Tha 1st verse iz Beast Boy and he sounds consistent wit tha rappin’…; not much else ta say. You’re on tha 2nd verse and it’s just dat HOTNESS I’d expect wit tha rhymes!! Must be Beast Boy on tha 3rd verse too? This iz a betta verse than tha 1st verse wit tha street-type shit! Ooh, he’s holdin’ tha whole verse down too! I like tha “food colorin’” line, lol! Even a shout out ta “Brown Bag Entertainment” too! My Rating: 4.4


06. “Deep Cover”
Back to tha short songs so this must be a freestyle… >>> Yup, and it’s a 90’s beat… “Fake like gunplay;” good callout! Pretty consistent; I like tha “dro/pyro” shit towards tha end. My Rating: 3.9


07. “Wreck Call”
Anotha Guss beat here… For some reason, tha fade-out endin’ from tha last joint made me wanna have anticipation here!! >>> Beat start’s pretty good and tha hook’s TIGHT; I like tha “dawg” shit in tha hook! DEFINITELY paid off for my anticipation here since you’re tha shit to tha fullest!! Tha 1st verse sounds like tha rhymes are real to tha fullest!! Tha 2nd verse iz dat consistent shit I’d wanna hear when it comes ta just hearin’ rhymes all tha time! You’re just doin’ a nice job without stoppin’!! Even have a 3rd verse on here and it’s just your taste at all times! My Rating: 4.3


08. “Melon Farmers”
LOL @ this title; where’d it come from? >>> This iz an okay beat fa what it iz; sounds like you can rap on it good… Very consistent freestyle here, ya dig! LOL, tha song at tha end came back this time, lol! My Rating: 4.2


09. “Creep Silent” Feat. Coke Dogg
Locco did this beat so I’m expectin’ an original production here… >>> LOL, I thought Coke Dogg was Weed Dogg from Trakk Boii’s clique for a second but this iz a newbie wit a drug + Dogg name too, lol! Pretty good 1st verse but tha hook’s just REALLY GUTTA!!! REAL GLAD tha both of y’all are on tha hook too, just doin’ a REAL, REAL, REAL GR8 job!!! You’re on tha 2nd verse here, P, and I’m hearin’ all this street shit goin’ on! Coke’s on tha 3rd verse here and he’s keepin’ it as street as you, P!! Y’all must’ve grown up together ‘cause that’s what it sounds like! Prolly one of tha MOST gutta tracks here, ya dig!!! LOL, gutta-ass outro!! My Rating: 4.8


10. “Fedz Watchin’” Feat. Ray Vicks
LOL, Ray Vicks? Didn’t I hear this ‘cause it looks familiar? >>> Oh no, that gay-ass “Ricky Bobby” beat? Didn’t hear this collab before but tha beat really lowers my anticipation… Tha hook’s pretty good but I don’t wanna take this serious… Oh, Ray Vicks sounds like OJ… Good attitude though here and some good rhymes… You’re on tha 2nd verse here and accordin’ ta when you wrote on my status a year after Big “Markee” died, I can tell you gave him a shout out on here; good-ass shit! Pretty good verse from you here… My Rating: 3.8


11. “Like A Movie”
Not too big on this title; must be a jacked beat? >>> Oh, more of a “Got/Cot Damn” surprise, lol! I feel like most Late ‘02/all ’03 shit no one really remembers so it’s pretty good to have those “When MTV2 existed” dayz! Pretty good rappin’ here; not much fa me ta comment about… Near tha 1:29 mark, it sounds like some hot, consistent rappin’ iz comin’ from you! Nice job holdin’ this down and tha hook’s pretty cool… My Rating: 3.7


½time: You doin’ a NICE job here; pretty consistent once again!! I DEFINITELY look forward ta hearin’ tha rest!! Tha average CD rating’s at 4.1 right now; keep it goin’!


12. “Love Brand New” Feat. Ms. Peaches
>>> I knew my anticipation would be a lil’ low wit Ms. Peaches on this; tha beat start’s kinda dry… Iz this a jacked beat ‘cause it sounds sour…? Surprisingly, I like her “Trill Girl” hook betta; she had an addictive voice although it wasn’t for me, lol… Huh? She even has a verse? Should’ve just stuck wit tha hook… Okay, you’re on tha 2nd verse and it’s just okay; not that much for me though… My Rating: 2.7


13. “Tha Air”
I hope it’s not what I think it iz… >>> Okay, it’s not; sounds more like tha New York-type shit here wit tha kinda beat this iz… Okay rappin’ here; you have a good flow ova this beat. Tha hook’s cool; glad this ain’t depressin’… Tha 2nd verse sounds like it sounds good too but I don’t think this should’ve been ‘round tha 3:00 range in length… Bad enough, we could’ve cut it @ 2:08; a long beat outro? Oh, aight, good, you have an actual outro-take here… ROFL @ tha “high” shit towards tha end! My Rating: 3.6


14. “Dead Presidentz”
>>> Now THIS iz tha kinda beat I DON’T wanna hear! Okay/good rappin’ but I can’t tolerate this beat! My Rating: 2.8


15. “Heartless”
Oh no, don’t do this to me… >>> Why does it sound like a remix in tha beginning wit tha original vocals? I like how you sound like Jimi Jump on tha vocals here; anticipatin’… These rhymes are good ta hear—oh no, tha original hook! LOL @ you takin’ tha title SO serious in tha beginning of tha 2nd verse! My Rating: 3.1


16. “Blastin’ & Burstin’”
>>> WTF!! “Swag Surfin’” beat; you have me “beat” now wit these boring-ass, played out beats! WhyTF iz tha length 4:52? WAYYYYYYYY too long!!! At least you remade tha hook here ta make it catchy! A lotta catchy things you’re rhymin’ in tha 1st verse… Tha 2nd verse’s pretty good too; lol @ a fade-out wit 1:30 left! I guess it’s one of your outros… “Dopest dope;” good shit! LOL @ tha “smell it” shit! Even though this iz “dope,” this iz gettin’ me anticipated ta “smell” some kush, lol! My Rating: 3.7


17. “I’m Dope” Feat. Locco
Oh, good lead-in to this joint! Let’s see how good it iz wit (no less) Locco on tha beat! >>> Feelin’ this production a whole lot once again!! I guess you have a smart ear fa him ta make REALLY good beats vs. those watered-down Boosie beats! I’m feelin’ all tha street-ass lyrics here, ya dig! Tha hook sounds a lil’ corny wit Locco’s vocals but at tha same time, it’s gr8 lyrics and it’s pretty tight for tha streetz so I give it credit… I think tha “Christina Aguilera” shit’s kinda gettin’ played out for tha “dope;” it has been three years since dat “White Girl” song came out… Tha 3rd verse sounds like you’re really “lorataberiffic,” lol! Good shit once again… My Rating: 4.4


18. “Hustla” Feat. Marco & Doodie Da Juvie
Thought I heard Doodie once before; this iz lookin’ anticipatin’ but why no producer listed? >>> Must be a non-original beat? It sounds original but kinda gay for havin’ a Jay-Z sample as tha hook; rather’ve heard an original hook… Sounds like a Young Ready-type 1st verse here; feelin’ these rhymes! Tha 2nd verse’s on some real shit here for tha hood; feelin’ it… Here you are on tha 3rd verse and it sounds like tha best verse ‘cause you REALLY comin’ through for all tha hoods and streetz wit your REAL GR8 rhymes!! My Rating: 4.1


19. “Runnin’ & Duckin’” Feat. Doodie Da Juvie
Looks more like a title I’d luv! I hope I’m safe wit tha no-producer listed… >>> LOL, sounded like a cut-off beginning? Odd start ta open tha song up but tha hook’s pretty gutta! Hope that’s a REAL hook from y’all and not somethin’ else! LOL, must be tha Doodie dude on tha 1st verse ‘cause it has that Young Ready-type feel to it again; they must be family… Yea, this iz a lil’ mixed fa me although mostly positive…; I think tha hook was originally there. You’re on tha 2nd verse here and you doin’ a good job too; nice collab, though. My Rating: 4.3


20. “Retarded”
This iz back; good job! X-Fyle on tha track! Tha beat might get me in dat “Do Yo Thang” mode here so let’s see how good/catchy it’ll be… Real catchy beginning, lol! Tha hook sounds tight as hell ‘cause it’s just you comin’ through wit your voice and style!! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty gutta here! LOL, iz this tha real hook ‘round 1:13? Sounds like a remade hook of Kelis & Too Short “Bossy”, lol? How unexpected, yet, you doin’ ya thang wit it!! Tha 2nd verse’s explainin’ tha true “soulja” you are wit tha “soulja blood” you have inside you! Tha 3rd verse’s also real catchy; “I didn’t give a flicky fuck!” LOL @ “flicky fuck!” My Current Rating: 4.4


21. “Hang Wit Starz”
>>> Thought it was wack “Pop Champagne” beat but damn, it’s this “Addiction” beat again? Had ENOUGH of err-body gettin’ on this beat fa some reason… Good story here from you for tha streetz although it’s soundin’ odd wit tha beat changin’… My Rating: 2.9


22. “Listen”
Last song and it’s an original produced by Locco… >>> Hope this continues to stay like his other beats on here! Yes, ANOTHA hot production from Locco wit those dark key sounds!! Usually, this would prolly be depressin’ if anotha rapper got on tha mic but you sound real catchy, deliverin’ this HOT shit on tha mic! Tha 1st verse sounded pretty short; good job though wit it… Good “hedgehog like Sonic” line in tha 2nd verse; lots of catchy shit in this verse too! Tha 3rd verse’s kinda short too but it’s good that you have a 3rd verse… My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Not as good as I thought it would be and not as good as tha last CD but you still came through pretty good! A numba of bangaz on here so that’s a definite plus!! I would just lay off tha cheesy, mainstream beats and stick to tha ones I really liked…
