Review #616: Killa C & Rock M.F. "The Facelift"

Reviewed on 8.19.2010 (Review #616)




My next review iz from 2008 and it’s Killa C & Rock M.F. “The Facelift”! Start Time: 6:19 PM | End Time: 7:22 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. Intro
Let’s see how we gon start thangz off… >>> LOL, sounds intense for a start in tha sounds!! DEFINITELY a CRAZY-ASS soundin’ intro!!! My Rating: N/A


02. “What You Been Told”
Let’s see… >>> Sounds like it gon be tight based off tha beginning!! Killa C soundin’ gr8 on tha 1st verse here; gr8 shit!! LOL, afta like eight bars, tha voice went up? LOL… Very catchy rhymes to tha fullest!! Tha hook sounds like a Lil’ Wayne-type hook wit how it sounds or somethin’? It’s catchy though… Rock M.F.’s on tha 2nd verse and this shit’s just catchy; really feelin’ it fa some reason… Tha bridge sounds like it’s combinin’ good for tha track; good shit… My Rating: 4.4


03. “Already It”
Interestin’ title; why tha “it,” lol? >>> Tha beat’s a lil’ dry and tha 1st verse’s pretty good from Rock M.F. on this shit… Killa C’s on tha 2nd verse and it sounds too much like some Lil’ Wayne shit, which loses my interest… My Rating: 3.8


04. “Only Life We Know”
>>> LOL, sounds like a tight sample, whateva it iz… Rock M.F. sounds pretty good on tha 1st verse and Killa C’s soundin’ pretty tight on tha hook; this iz pretty good… Tha 2nd verse iz Killa C and it’s some mo real shit goin’ on here… My Rating: 4.1


05. “Hello, Hello”
>>> Oh, tha anticipatin’ producers on tha beat that I still don’t know their name!! Tha hook sounds catchy wit this title! Killa C’s on tha 1st verse too and he sounds like he’s holdin’ this joint down; pretty good shit here, especially tha catchy hook that’s catchy… Rock M.F.’s on tha 2nd verse and it’s good too… My Rating: 4.0


06. “Never Be Me”
>>> Tha beat’s kinda calm here… Rock M.F.’s on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty good wit what he’s spittin’ for tha hood; catchy “zebra-head” line, lol! Killa C’s spittin’ real-ass catchy shit on tha 2nd verse; I like how each line ended wit, “boy,” ta add a catchy taste to tha verse! My Rating: 4.2


07. “The Monster”
Looks like a good title and it’s a Killa C solo… >>> Again, not sure about tha beat sound but it could be good… Interestin’ shit bein’ spit here like he always spits… My Rating: 4.1


08. “Rock”
Now, a Rock M.F. solo! >>> Started wit no intro needed and it’s soundin’ pretty good on this beat! This iz soundin’ tight; good shit here, Rock M.F.! Very consistent all tha way through! My Rating: 4.3


09. “I Want It All” Feat. Daywun
REAL GLAD Daywun’s on tha feature and it’s a Killa C solo song featurin’ Daywun! >>> Ooh, a lil’ intro here; this iz makin’ me real anticipated ta hear dis!! Tha sample on tha hook sounds tight as well as this beat! Killa C, you’re on tha 1st verse and tha rhymes are consistent; good shit ta listen to! Daywun sounds REAL anticipatin’ before tha 2nd verse; REALLY lookin’ forward ta hearin’ him!!! Shit, yea!!! “I smoke dat piff” and all dat good shit!! He’s comin’ through REAL GUTTA!! “You’ll think it’s Halloween when I pass tha candy out;” damn!! “Look both ways ‘fo you cross me;” REAL TIGHT!!! My Rating: 4.5


10. “Kill Them All”
A Killa C solo; let’s see how GR8 this iz wit tha gutta title!! >>> Sounds pretty tight but I think I heard tha “I’m sicker than your great, great, great, great, great, great grandma” line before so dat’s a minus… Tha hook makes me think this iz an obsessive Lil’ Wayne perspective or somethin’ but it’s kinda good… I believe tha 2nd verse has what I said about tha hook in it… My Rating: 3.6


½time: Sounds pretty tight, ya dig! Tha average CD rating’s at 4.1 right now so y’all doin’ a nice job!!


11. “Lil’ Ole Me” Feat. Ream, Daywun & Sleepy
Interestin’ collab here as this iz Rock M.F.’s solo song now!! >>> For nearly five minutes, this iz soundin’ anticipatin’ wit tha gutta feel to it! Tha hook came outta nowhere and sounds tight, ya dig! DEFINITELY an interestin’ story ‘bout “lil’ ole you,” ya dig! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ good… “Roll up like a blunt;” good verse, ya dig! Let’s see dis GUTTA-ASS Daywun on tha 3rd verse!!! Soundin’ pretty tight here, on some real shit! Tha 4th verse’s also keepin’ it G and family here wit tha good rhymes! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Knock Off Your Block”
Back to tha both of y’all on this shit… >>> Ooh, tha super producers are back on tha beat although it sounds like it steals elements from tha Freeway beat from ’03… Killa C’s soundin’ pretty tight on tha 1st verse here… Rock M.F.’s on tha 2nd verse and he’s keepin’ it pretty consistent here wit all tha tight rhymes ova this topic, ya dig! My Rating: 4.3


13. “Wolves On You” Feat. Fee
Fee’s on tha feature here wit tha both of y’all on tha track. However, “wolfs” iz not a word; it’s really “wolves,” ya dig. >>> Tha hook sounds tight for a Jay-Z sample, actually! Tha beat’s pretty tight too ta go wit dis shit!! Killa C’s on tha 2nd verse and it sounds like he has that Lil’ Wayne-cockiness in his rappin’ here. Kinda cheesy but he comes through wit some good shit… Ooh, a lil’ intermission in tha middle of tha song? Sounded pretty anticipatin’ fa what’s about ta come out here… Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ Fee! Sounds pretty good wit how he’s bringin’ it! My Rating: 4.2


14. “I Know”
A Killa C solo… >>> Bad to start wit a prayer. Tha beginning doesn’t sound like somethin’ for me but it sounds pretty strong here on tha content… My Rating: 4.0


15. “Facelift”
Title track so let’s see what’s good… >>> 2 Toxic on tha beat here? Cool… Tha beat’s aight but sounds good wit Killa C rappin’ on tha 1st verse… An okay song here; above average… Tha hook sounds pretty cool; not sure of much ta say about it… Tha 2nd verse iz Rock M.F. and he’s motivated here on tha verse! My Rating: 3.8


16. “Jump Stupid”
LOL, a Killa C solo… >>> Interestin’ title ta see you rappin’ on, C. Tha beat intro sounds pretty anticipatin’… Tha hook’s catchy… You’re also soundin’ catchy on tha 1st verse here, C… Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good too… My Rating: 3.9


17. “Bad Credit”
LOL @ this title; anotha Killa C solo… >>> Kinda good but also a lil’ cheesy at tha same time; not bad though… My Rating: 3.7


18. “Corner Muzic” Feat. Bred
Killa C’s solo again featurin’ Bred; let’s see what’s good wit dis one! >>> I like tha beat start; tha beat’s stayin’ consistent… Good job on tha hook here as you’re keepin’ a motivated sound… Nice job on tha 1st verse here, holdin’ it down… Bred’s on tha 2nd verse and he sounds pretty tight; almost sounds like Jae Millz on tha voice… My Rating: 4.1


19. “It’s All Good”
Back to tha both of y’all… >>> Okay, catchy hook here… Pretty good 1st verse from Killa C; let’s see what Rock M.F. has ta offer on tha 2nd verse… Not really feelin’ tha flow as it sounds like what other people could sound like in tha mainstream… Tha verse iz gettin’ kinda typical wit tha content too… My Rating: 3.6


20. “Log On” (Daywun)
DAMN!! A Daywun solo song for tha ending? Shit, yea!!! >>> Shit, yea, its length iz 4:07!! Tha hook sounds pretty good; I like how he sounds! He’s soundin’ betta on tha 1st verse here, doin’ his thang like always!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like he has a good hold on tha verse, just doin’ what he does best! I like dat “stop grabbin’ ya head” shit in tha hook! Tha 3rd verse’s pretty good too; good shit! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Definitely a hot lil’ tape right chea, ya dig!! All y’all dat contributed to this did tha damn thang!! Keep tha hot music comin’, y’all!!
