Review #656: Young Ready "High Profile"

Reviewed on 9.11.2010 (Review #656)


Here goes my next review: Young Ready “High Profile! Now wit B.O.W. Entertainment, how will it be like vs. tha former-sign wit Camp Life? Start Time: 1:25 PM | End Time: 2:38 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.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.wordofsouth.com/myblock


01. Freeway & Rick Ross Intro
WTF? Losing your Baton Rouge style? Why are these dudes here (one Pennsylvania and one Florida)? I guess this iz why you don’t answer me back—successfully—on Facebook? Do I even have ta hear this beginning? >>> Doesn’t even sound real or like Rick Ross? Why iz it just a phone call for tha intro? Betta ask my people about this! My Rating: N/A


02. “Survivor” Feat. C-Loc
Guess this was made before you got dropped from tha Camp? >>> WTF?!? Good beat start but why does Loc sound like this? Worst expected start for a typical-anticipated CD? :confused You sound good—still—on tha 1st verse. But, that hook’s just horrible!!! :td Guess this iz tha end of your “automatic 5-star rated CDs” afta nearly all yo CDs had nothin’ but 4.0 ratings (tha “Junkie Medicine (Cocaine Edition)” CD I feel iz 5-star rated automatically, regardless of my one non-4.0-rated song). Tha 2nd verse’s decent… Wit only 37 seconds left, you have a 3rd verse too? What’s up wit tha “loratab/xanabar” shit too? LOL, really? My Rating: 2.5


03. “Circles” Feat. Max Minelli
Hope this iz more normal! >>> Guss beat; sounds familiar on tha hook. This iz much betta and normal! “I see you callin’ my phone;” you told me you don’t have a “phone,” WTF? Why you gotta lie to me (accordin’ to a few people I talked to)? Still, it was a pretty good 1st verse and tha beat’s holdin’ it down here wit tha hook. “Fuck dat undaground, I finna go commercial on you…;” iz this CD really goin’ down tha tubs quick?!? Why this kinda sound? :confused Not tha best verse I heard from Max; didn’t even sound like him at first? You’re back on tha 3rd verse here, wit a cocky attitude… My Rating: 4.0


04. “I’m A Problem”
Looks like a Max title this time, lol. >>> Sounds hot on tha beat start; betta stay dat way! Okay, I’m feelin’ how tha beat’s soundin’ and it sounds like you comin’ through pretty nice. “Drop a mixtape every month;” prolly won’t happen but I know I’ll “drop one every 91, 92 dayz!!” Tha hook sounds pretty nice here; gotta like tha Baton Rouge style still… “And then, I got locked up;” no offense, but I kinda wish you were in jail again. That would prolly be tha only way you’d hit me back! Just like you did when you wrote me dat letter I received September 18, 2008 dat made me LUV BR!! Damn, why you gotta say, “your friend request been pending;” why you gotta act like you have online-shit in you? Weren’t you street in tha past? My Rating: 4.2


05. “Beep Beep” Feat. Lil’ Dundray
J Buc on tha beat… Good beat but why does it sound like Delwin The Krazyman a lil’? I think there’s too much hangin’ out or somethin’, which I don’t know how dat’s done… I was waitin’ ta hear this when it came ta review time and here we are…; not on tha female-R&B tip, luckily… Only a decent 1st verse fa me… Dundray’s on tha 2nd verse; not bad wit hearin’ him for tha 1st time… Didn’t think I’d hear tha word “YouTube” outta your mouth on a song… This iz missin’ a lil’ bit of some gangsta shit… I still think tha “beep beep” shit iz pretty catchy on tha hook. But, wit this timin’, I don’t think this’ll be successful fa me… My Current Rating: 4.2


06. “Hold That Noise”
>>> I’m REALLY likin’ this beat this time! Sounds like it’s Q-Red or someone special like dat? This iz more normal fa me! Likin’ tha consistent-soundin’ hook! Okay 1st verse here but dat production’s all consistent here! Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta but I’m kinda gettin’ sick of people braggin’ ‘bout “money” and shit when they got like nothin’ most of tha time! If there’s “money” involved, I would be makin’ lots of it from y’all when it comes ta promotion! Tha 3rd verse’s kinda short but it’s straight fa what it iz… My Rating: 4.4


07. “Real Talk” Feat. Crucial
Young Crucial dropped tha “Young” from his name? I know I’ll feel a lil’ anticipation wit Crucial on it! >>> Wodieson beat and it’s soundin’ hot once again! “My click house retarded;” dat’s Dat Boy A’s line! Tha 1st verse iz you? No, it’s Crucial? Doesn’t sound like him; what’s goin’ on here? This iz jammin’ though… You’re comin’ back on tha 1st verse outta nowhere; more “money” shit, smh… “500 for a purp zip;” how do people sell for dat much? Can’t even get people ta buy my commercials fa 10x less than dat/$75! Here’s tha 2nd verse from Crucial. I’m not too excited on hearin’ this; thought it was tha Young Crucial I knew. I dunno but it sounded betta towards tha end of tha verse. Tha 3rd verse actually sounds pretty good fa me… My Rating: 4.3


08. “Street Lights” Feat. Dat Boy A
>>> Oh no, a Mod beat for you and I’m not too crazy about this beginning. It’s soundin’ betta now so there might be a chance… Didn’t really like tha start of tha hook but it’s Dat Boy A. Not sourced on tha feature? You don’t have a problem wit him, do you? :confused Overall, it sounded like a pretty good hook! I think this iz less-undaground from you although tha content’s still strong on tha 1st verse. Startin’ off tha 2nd verse wit “weed sales;” good. But, then you’re talkin’ ‘bout “charges … don’t wanna get into details.” Well, how come you always announce shit on your Facebook? I like to just pretend dat’s not really you on your Facebook like people think I’m a fantasy! Huh? A 1:10 beat ending? Oh, it went back to tha 3rd verse here and it’s still good… My Rating: 4.1


09. “Stand Over You (Remix)” Feat. Vicious & Lil’ Phat
Not this song again; doesn’t fit wit tha Facebook Ready! Goes wit tha MySpace/just-got-outta-jail Ready! I’m assumin’ this iz a remix? >>> Yea, still tha same. Vicious hopped onto tha 1st verse and I would’ve expected someone else on this song, especially since it’s almost two years old now. It’s good fa what it iz, especially wit tha gangsta shit. But, there’s other closer rappers you know in BR! Still tha same verse from you here; I respected it more in Winter ‘08/’09… Same Phat verse too; did I mention, tha same GR8 beat too? My Rating: 4.7


½time: That first song knocked tha average CD rating down to a 4.1; still good though…


10. “Bungy Jump” Feat. Level
Hannibal tol’ me about this song and when he said, “Level/Young Ready,” I thought it was a Level song but it’s your song. Lemme give it a review! >>> This beat’s pretty nice; strong flava in it! I used it in my Shutdown Tuesdays (9.07.2010) commercial and it sounds GR8! Tha 1st verse from you’s pretty good; I always liked your X-rated sex songs! That hook’s HOT! Luv how it comes on when I go on my YouTube at my college’s computer! I like how you even sound on tha hook, Ready; nice mix wit Level! Level’s on tha 2nd verse, “jumpin’, jumpin’, jumpin’,” lol! He sounds like he jacked your flow, lol? LOL, mo Level on tha bridge; sounds nice wit tha mixin’ too! Oh no, you RUINED it on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse wit “she messaged me on Facebook;” WTF? Good thing Dat Boy A’s in tha streetz ‘cause he don’t rap about dat shit! Whether this iz a sex song or not: you rap about your Facebook but neva successfully hit me back? I don’t know why you don’t have interest in hittin’ me up/back when you were really enjoyin’ me two years ago! My Rating: 4.5


11. “Nobody” Feat. T-Dub & Crucial
Let’s see now dat there’s T-Dub—tha female—on this… >>> Still, good production and a catchy hook. Not bad on tha 1st verse here… T-Dub’s on tha 2nd verse and she’s gutta on tha mic! Crucial’s on tha 3rd verse here and I’m likin’ dat it’s about “sellin’” shit; I give it props… Thought I was gonna hear tha hook again but I heard a nice cold ending! My Rating: 4.3


12. “Off My Grind”
>>> Sounds pretty good here… “I charge a lil’ mo;” but, your status iz tha same as most rappers in Baton Rouge! You’re only at tha “I-put-a-CD-in-tha-stores” stage; it’s not like a tour, major label or anything. Tha 1st verse sounds straight. You talk about how people “greet wit fake handshakes” in tha beginning of tha 2nd verse. But, when me—tha real—comes at you, you ignore; why? If I had ta choose which one to like, real or fake, I’d pick real, easily!! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Oops”
I dunno about this kinda title… >>> LOL, much betta-soundin’ Mod beat this time. But, you’ll have ta make it stay dat way! Britney Spears-type hook? Low anticipation so I can’t say much about tha beat. Tha 1st verse sounds betta. “When I tried ta call her back;” but, you don’t have a phone!! Remember? Tha 2nd verse’s straight. Did you say, “my phone card;” I thought you don’t have a phone?!? It’s considered “lyrical confusion” ‘cause back on tha night of November 7, 2008, I called Savage’s phone and you answered; we were on tha phone once before, ya feel me? I’m MUCH MORE talented than two years ago and know like 300 mo people! Tha 3rd verse’s good; consistent shit here. I’m likin’ tha cold ending too. My Rating: 4.4


14. “Whenever You Call Me” Feat. Airee
It’s Dat Boy A’s chick on tha feature; I dunno… >>> This izn’t your style, WTF? I don’t need ta hear tha Pop rhymes! Can’t take this serious at all; where’s tha street shit? I liked tha Nelly Furtado sample song from ’06 MUCH betta than this! That at least caught my attention but this, sounds like you’re tryin’ to go Pop or somethin’… “Three-way calls to my dawgs for tha money orders;” lyrical confusion once again in two “ways” (wit tha “call” and “money” transportin’). Did I mention, tha title can’t be you ‘cause you don’t have a phone! Tha 3rd verse kinda flows wit tha rest of this song too. This iz like a disappointment from you. Good singin’ from Airee but I look at who’s song it iz! My Rating: 2.0


15. “Go Duffy (Remix)” Feat. Mouse & Juice
I think afta tha Facebook shit, this song was like only spins away from gettin’ a playlist award from me; oh, well. Maybe, you should answer tha next time! I guess this’ll be like tha otha remix… >>> Yup, same start here wit tha Q-Red beat. I’d still give this a good rating but this iz like completely dead fa me. LOL, Mouse on tha 2nd verse and he’s pretty entertainin’! But, tha original was fine tha way it was. However, I keep mixin’ my emotions as Mouse kinda goes wit tha title too! Still tha same Zion City Juice verse too… I like tha cold ending this time wit tha acapella of tha title part! My Rating: 4.6


16. “Burn You With This 40” Feat. Juice & Deedy
This iz more you! >>> Yup, tha beat’s pretty gangsta here and it gives me dat 2006 feel!! Tha 1st verse iz pretty nice; gangsta shit here! Hope err-thang iz true, ya feel me? Stay wit these kinda songs! Tha 2nd verse iz nice but where are tha features? Only one verse left! Too bad they gotta share tha same verse ‘cause they should’ve had separate verses! Let’s see who’s first… It’s Juice, soundin’ pretty gangsta here! This’ll be tha best new song from this CD I heard, it looks like… Deedy’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse and it sounds good too! Funny about tha “PS3 controller” line. My Rating: 4.7


17. “I Got My Money Right” Feat. Lil’ Phat
>>> Q-Red beat; so far, it’s okay. Catchy on tha hook and a lil’ slow wit tha soundin’ here. Tha 1st verse iz Phat; so far, good ta hear. You’re on tha 2nd verse and I dunno how you deal wit someone dyin’; haven’t had a serious death (in person) happen in almost six years now (rappers like Nu$$ie are pretty rough but iz not an “in-person” death for me). Not bad on tha 2nd verse and tha 3rd verse; sounds like you’re sorry or somethin’… LOL @ dat quick ending. My Rating: 4.1


18. “I’m Just Sayin’” Feat. Lil’ Dundray
Glad ta hear Dundray again. >>> Okay, this iz tha kinda production that grabs me by start! Ooh, tha flow on tha hook’s definitely official here! Reminds me of tha older times! Thumbs up ta Dundray holdin’ it down on tha hook! You’re on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty good here. I’m likin’ tha instant attitude goin’ on. Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good but damn, anotha dude died? WTF’s wit dat? Killing people iz so homosexual; I don’t know why people like to be gay?!? Tha 3rd verse keeps it goin’ although it would’ve been cool ta hear a Dundray verse too… My Rating: 4.4


19. “I Feel Like” Feat. Lil’ Dundray
Okay, endin’ it wit Dundray here; what will an ending song sound like on this CD? >>> Actually, sounds real hot for tha beat here! Reminds me of some older Baton Rouge-type shit! Oh, not that singin’ again on tha hook; go on a verse already, Dundray! I like tha “wit a buzz like a navy base” part in tha 1st verse, Ready. Okay, Dundray’s on tha 2nd verse here, not bad. Kinda sounds like “a beginna” to me. Was gonna say, wit only 34 seconds left, iz there gonna be a 3rd verse? Neva mind, it’s just thrown-in vocals from you, lol. Slowly lost interest in this song but it’s all good. My Rating: 3.9


Overall: Well, you were puttin’ out consistent 4.7-rated CDs at first. Now, this kinda took a toll. But, 15 of 18 songs were 4.0+ ratings so that’s pretty good. I still would like you to keep it real and answer me online when I try to holla at you!
