Not
really feelin’ dat good due to I was away for tha weekend and got allergies…
But, I hope to shakeback soon. I got a review comin’ up from my boy A.R., ya heard me? Once again, I’m
backtracking as I reviewed Pt. 2 last year ‘bout 13 months ago. Now, I’m
reviewin’ tha 1st one; here goes my review for A.R. “Out The Gate”! Start Time: 8:42 PM | End Time: 9:48 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.

Intro
I
believe this CD’s three years old now. I had tried rippin’ this CD from
problemchildent.com but after #7, tha player no longer worked. But, I’m glad I
got it from you so we ‘bout ta do it right now by me gettin’ ta hear it!
>>> Sounds cool for an intro; I like tha walking, lol! Sounds
anticipatin’ towards tha end; lol, sounds like an elephant and an airplane,
lol? My Rating: N/A
02.
“Out The Gate”
Title
track here; how will you do here? >>> Oh, an original production as D.
Jackson’s on tha track! Cool shit here wit tha hook; sounds nice wit tha beat!
You doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse; good shit from you here!
Consistent rhymes on this consistent beat! Tha 2nd verse’s cool; once
again, good shit! Outro’s pretty good too wit your talkin’. Interestin’ beat
ending; didn’t know when it was gonna end! My
Rating: 4.2
03.
“Live Large”
Good
title; let’s keep it goin’! >>> Anotha D. Jackson beat; this beat
might’ve got out there once before ‘cause I heard it on A-Mar & Dyl’s song
“Till Da Wheels Fall Off”. Since this iz ’07 and that was ’09, this iz 1st
so you’re prolly tha 1st one wit it. Cool lil’ 1st verse…
Tha hook’s cool although for some reason, tha 1st time I hear
someone on tha beat, I get adjusted to it, which makes “Till Da Wheels Fall
Off” betta fa me. Tha “my mama ain’t raise no hoe” shit even sounded like
somethin’ A-Mar would spit (I think he said it in their version; he might’ve
got that from you in this song?)… Tha 2nd verse’s good too; you got
tha “large” perspective here, lol! My
Rating: 4.1
04.
“Sit… Look”
Pretty
long song; let’s see what’s good… >>> Very anticipatin’ beat fa an ’07
one… Oh, anotha D. Jackson tag, lol. Tha beat’s cool and tha 1st
verse sounds like an interestin’ story ‘bout someone… Okay, I’m feelin’ tha
hook here; tha beat even changed a lil’ wit its sounds! Tha 2nd
verse sounds pretty good from you here too; nice job… Tha 3rd verse
has good shit in it too wit your gr8 rappin’ here. My Rating: 4.2
05.
“Never Been A Runner”
Good
title once again; you got these titles on lock! >>> This iz tha 1st
jacked beat so far (“Runaway Love”) so I can tell this iz from those dayz;
let’s see how dis goes… You sound good here on tha 1st verse. Tha
hook’s aight; nothin’ bad or anything as it’s pretty catchy… Okay, tha 2nd
verse iz good; likin’ what you got here… Sounds like a long outro goin’ on
here… My Rating: 3.8
06.
“Grew Up A Screw Up” Feat. Charlie Boy
LOL,
yea, I rememba rippin’ this and I was like, “Oh, looks like a mix between
jacked beats and original beats.” >>> Tight rappin’ in tha 1st
verse here from you. Tha 2nd verse iz this Charlie Boy dude and he’s
soundin’ good wit a collaboration wit you. You’re on tha 3rd verse
and it’s mo tight shit from you here; pretty gangsta too… Tha 2nd ½
of tha 3rd verse sounds like tha Charlie Boy dude again? Almost
sounds like my boy Quikkdraw and was good once again! My Rating: 4.0
07.
“Standing Ovation (Freestyle)”
LOL,
now, I see “freestyle” in tha ID;
what’ll be good wit dis? >>> Oh, a Jeezy beat… Sounds good so far… I
like how you mentioned dat “dey hollarin’ ‘bout tha click house;” interestin’
shit… Tha 2nd verse sounds tight wit your rhymes here; keep it
goin’! My Rating: 3.9
08.
“Fight Song (Woodlawn High Fightsong)”
Okay,
this 6:00 song…; what gon come outta dis? >>> Ooh, original production
from D. Jackson? Okay, I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ tha whole thang!! Tha
hook’s cool here; interestin’ anthem! Tha 1st verse sounds nice on a
song like dis; good job once again! Keepin’ it goin’ here on tha 2nd
verse; nice job! Damn, 3:11 went by already? This joint’s goin’ by pretty fast
for a 6:00 song! Damn, no 3rd verse, lol? Very long repeatin’ hook
here but it DEFINITELY holds tha track down! My Rating: 4.3
09.
“Ready For Whatever”
>>>
“Live In The Sky” beat… Not bad on tha hook here. Okay, I’m feelin’ tha start
to tha 1st verse; nice and lyrical! Not bad on tha 2nd
verse here; it picked up nicely towards tha end! My Rating: 3.7
10.
“Lean Like Me”
Looks
like a funny title here… >>> Oh, “Shoulder Lean” beat… Catchy hook
from you here… Soundin’ cool here on tha 1st verse; interestin’ shit
here as it sounds like you ‘bout ta have fun. Tha 2nd verse has
“excellent vocabulary;” you said it! I like tha “colder than December but I’m
similar to January” line! My Rating: 4.0
½time: So far, nice job; a 4.0 iz
tha average CD rating! Tha Pt. 2 mixtape wasn’t all that GR8 for me so this iz
gettin’ an advantage right now.
11.
“Lil’ Easy Debut (Freestyle)” Feat. Lil’ Easy
>>>
Oh, “Turn It Up” beat from already a ½ decade ago; wow, time flies! It was like
high school was tha otha day (which I no less saw one of my former helpers in
high school today in tha store)! Didn’t know who tha feature was ‘til I checked
tha tracklist just now; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ what dis dude’s got! Just
aight; good thing it’s kinda short… LOL, what made tha volume go up ‘round
1:06? My Rating: 3.5
12.
“Just To Get By”
>>>
LOL, this too; this beat was Year #1 in high school for me and was an anthem
for Talib! Oh, those ‘02/’03 dayz… Good rappin’ here, my boy… Oh, tha original
hook… LOL @ how you stopped it at when it would say, “stop smokin’;” funny
shit. My Rating: 3.9
13.
“Kick Rocks”
For
some reason, tha title makes me think we’re back to tha original tracks?
>>> Oh wow, I guessed right; anticipatin’ start again! Good,
interestin’ flow here on this beat. I like how this iz anotha song that sounds
like an anthem… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s goin’ hard! You’re keepin’ it
consistent here on tha 2nd verse too… My Rating: 4.1
14.
“Bird Roof”
LOL,
what you got goin’ on here? >>> Doesn’t sound like a jacked beat to
me. I like tha rhymes here, especially tha beat durin’ every 4th
bar! This was just a freestyle? Only sounds like one verse but tha hook’s cool…
Okay, we have a feature on tha 2nd verse; couldn’t catch tha name…
This iz an interestin’ voice fa your mixtape. Nice job collaboratin’, whoeva
dat was! My Rating: 4.1
15.
“Show Me What You Got”
Oh
no, I know what this gon entail… >>> Yup, Jay-Z beat; ugh… Sorry, not
my style. I don’t like dat it’s 3.5 minutes too… Your flow iz like a
Jay-Z-type, which I’m not too crazy about although it’s a lil’ good… My Rating: 3.3
16.
“Facts Of Life”
I
dunno what ta say; only 1:36 on tha length? >>> Tha beat sounds more
like a Jay-Z-type again but iz decent for a freestyle… I’m enjoyin’ how you
rappin’ here; NICE voice! Very nice job here for a freestyle! Tha rhymes were
DEFINITELY interestin’ too! My Rating: 4.2
17.
“He’s The Sickest”
Tight
title here so let’s see what you gon do this time! >>> LOL, speedin’
up to 130 BPM right now wit tha “Fergalicious” beat; who would’ve guessed?
Sounds good wit your flow this time. Tha 2nd verse iz cool too; keep
this shit up! I look forward ta hearin’ a 3rd verse! LOL, did I hear
“bruh” durin’ tha bridge/3rd verse? It’s “bruh” and “Fergalicious”
combined, lol; who would’ve thought?! I like tha rappin’ towards tha remainin’
of tha last verse here! My Rating: 4.3
18.
“What Would You Do”
What’ll
this sound like? >>> LOL, City High’s beat? Now, I’m (you weren’t at tha time) in middle school (7th
grade). Tha rappin’s cool; this iz straight fa what it iz… I like when tha beat
changes wit tha “D. Jackson” shit; nice job here! My Rating: 4.0
19.
Outro
This
gon be a song? >>> LOL, this iz a 1st where you hear tha
previous beat on tha “outro”. LOL, “Kevin Gates + Guss” shout outs in ’07 (he
was referred to “K Gates” too, lol). Oh, it all of a sudden turned into a song?
Well, more of an “outro” that sounds
like a 7-year old show? I dunno what ta say… My Rating: N/A
Overall: Sounded pretty good right
chea, my boy! Maybe Pt. 2 didn’t have tha best ear for beats but you sounded
pretty nice on this one. I like tha original production and I like how you
handled some of tha jacked beats here; keep it up!
