Reviewed on 8.24.2010 (Review #623)




Startin’ some reviewz this week and stayin’ on tha grind, ya dig! This 1st review for today iz for my boy Ron D Da Dominator, who added me on Facebook a month ago. Thumbs up for tha add and discoverin’ me ‘cause I then discovered this “Dominator Effect (The Mixtape)” mixtape, ya dig! So now, here goes my review for Ron D Da Dominator “Dominator Effect (The Mixtape)”!! Start Time: 12:22 PM | End Time: 1:04 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. “Hood Dummy”
Looks tight for a first title, ya dig! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! >>> LOL, I thought you “produced” these songs (based off tha description) but I guess it’s just a “produced” (came out) mixtape. Anyway, although it’s just “Dem Boyz” on tha beat, it sounds like you have a GR8 amount of potential based off how you rappin’ here!! Tha 1st verse had a bunch of gr8 shit in it and tha 2nd verse has REAL HOT rhymes here!!! LOL @ “God doesn’t like ugly people” or whateva dat was! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Block Survivor”
>>> I knew it was gonna be this beat; why iz all this ’05 shit? You sure this CD ain’t from ’05? Tha rhymes are still straight; they should be delivered catchier though like wit tha last song… I’m not a fan of this beat; ugh, where’d dat hook come from? Sounds a lil’ too funny for me; you didn’t have ta go dat far wit your vocals! LOL, different dude on tha 2nd verse? Sounds a lil’ mo gutta on tha verse… What happened on tha last four bars? Sounded like I could barely hear tha vocals… My Rating: 3.1


03. “’Bout Yo Money”
Hope this doesn’t scare me… >>> Familiar beat but not really Southern for me… LOL, anotha character-type hook? It sounds a lil’ weird wit tha singin’; sorry… I would still stick to havin’ a character in you though ‘cause at least you tryna be creative… Sorry, not really feelin’ tha lyrics here… My Rating: 2.8


04. “Domination” Feat. Lil’ Wayne
Gay feature so I’m NOT lookin’ forward!! >>> Why a four-minute length? Tha other lengths were fine enough… Pretty sad how I didn’t know who was on tha 1st verse at first due to tha similar-soundin’ voices… WTF @ “you niggaz mad ‘cause I got Weezy on tha mixtape;” no, you don’t! At :59, I hear a lil’ paste sound and quality difference; it’s called “I got (a jacked) Weezy on tha mixtape.” Anyway, at least you had some catchy rhymes that were really consistent although they jacked tha Weezy style (ugh @ typin’ that name). Gay-ass hook and tha 2nd verse’s just boring…; don’t need to hear him!! Damn, WHEN will this verse end?!? Wayne decreased tha rating a WHOLE lot!! Would’ve been like 4.1 if he wasn’t on it! My Rating: 2.0


05. “Ego (Freestyle)” Feat. Jae Millz & Beyonce
Sorry, but I think I’d rather skip! >>> Wow, bad hook; “like everyone else, lemme add my two cents?” Why not an online beat or somethin’? At least keep it undaground! Tha 1st verse I don’t really have a comment on; nothin’ for me to say… I’m gettin’ tired of tha jacked flow… Horrible paste @ 1:38!! Good thing there’s only less than 40 seconds left here… It’s like, you couldn’t jack Jae Millz from 2004? At least I REALLY liked his Rap shit back then!! My Rating: 1.2


06. “Break Up” Feat. JR Writer
Yawn… I thought this CD was gonna Louisiana-related? >>> Kinda gay start but a lil’ betta rhymes… Gay-ass paste @ 1:06! Why a New York rapper? What state are we in?!? My Rating: 2.2


07. “Thug Life, Wild Thangz (Wasted Remix)”
Almost didn’t know where this title was goin’ ‘til I saw tha “remix” title… >>> Quality sounds a lil’ non-serious on tha vocals… Betta content so at least this iz a lil’ betta for me… My Rating: 3.5


½time: Afta tha 1st song, I didn’t think it would take a huge fall… Tha average CD rating’s at 2.7; could do a lil’ betta… I would REALLY think about NOT addin’ tha featured rappers/jacked verses and maybe some online beats…


08. “Have A Gud Time”
>>> Anotha Gucci beat, lol? I like your “pill man” character here, lol… On tha hook, I hear your character. For some reason, you sound like this big black dude wit a very hairy beard when you sing tha hook, lol… Tha 2nd verse sounds like it would be good if there was a BR-soundin’ beat in tha background, at least. LOL @ a “Kevin Gates” quote appearin’ on a “Lemonade” beat, ROFL! My Rating: 3.7


09. “Hoes R Drove”
>>> WTH’s up wit tha quality here? It’s so fuckin’ loud now? Familiar beat from tha mainstream; not sure if it was good/bad but anyway, this iz okay but a lil’ too loud on tha quality… Usually, I’d dislike somethin’ like this but when you deliver tha hook, it sounds real catchy… My Rating: 3.6


10. “You’re A Jerk” Feat. Lil’ Chuckee
If it’s at least four minutes, I gon skip it. >>> Damn, 3:35; just as bad… I thought I was gettin’ you on tha radio? These songs are all jacked beats… Sorry, this iz really gay; didn’t need to even hear it! My Rating: 1.0


11. “Stunt Hard” Feat. Lil’ Flip
I’m not to be tired yet!! It’s 12:48!! >>> Damn, ova four minutes? Why? Okay rappin’ but why tha fake features?!? My Rating: 1.6


12. “Ice Cream Paint (Freestyle)”
LOL @ droppin’ tha “job” from tha title; do you not have one or somethin’? >>> How could you “go duffy” on a beat like this? LOL… I don’t see no blushin’… This was kinda quick… My Rating: 2.6


13. “Smoke Sumthin’”
>>> Thought this was a very old beat but it’s only four years old (“Bumpin’ My Music”)… You give me anticipation wit this “smokin’/munchines” shit. It would’ve been betta if it was an original beat but it at least it was a pretty good verse. Good hook; I actually like tha quality in tha mic this time… Tha 2nd verse ain’t that great for me… My Rating: 4.0


14. “Walk Up On Da Set”
>>> Gay sample here in tha hook… Tha 1st verse wasn’t that bad… Tha 2nd verse sounds like “Young Dro” (since you said his name)? A lil’ boring flow… My Rating: 2.7


15. “Smoke’n On Stanky”
I saw tha title at first and was anticipated. Then, I heard this whole mixtape was jacked beats so I didn’t care anymore… >>> Oh, just a “Shoulder Lean” beat; now, I hear a Young Dro obsession or somethin’… Tha hook sounded like Wayne so it’s gay on tha vocals… I don’t really have a comment on this flow and song, sorry… My Rating: 3.3


Overall: You a cool dude but this izn’t a cool mixtape at all; not even close for me. Keep goin’ at it though; you gon have potential eventually…
