Review #669: DJ Poloar Bear & King Rice Present "Da King Is Back (Leak)"

Reviewed on 10.15.2010 (Review #669)




Keepin’ it goin’, anotha review fa my boy King Rice! Couldn’t resist but ta hit him up afta tha last review I did! I was ‘posed to wait ‘til this one was finished, but King Rice my boy, so you KNOW I had ta get at him!! Here goes my review for DJ Poloar Bear & King Rice Present “Da King Is Back (Leak)”. I should’ve known about dis 1st ‘cause I would’ve reviewed it, but it’s aight. This like tha “bloopers” a.k.a. “songs-that-didn’t-make-tha-real-CD” section. Start Time: 1:47 PM | End Time: 2:51 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. “Street Dayz”
Looks like “Last Dayz” wit tha “dayz” in tha title, lol. You KNOW it’s all gravy ta hear extra music from you!! >>> LOL, what a HOT beat start! I like how you handle tha intro and you’re doin’ a NICE job here on tha 1st verse!! You got a hell of a “life” when it comes ta havin’ buku thangz happen ta you, ya dig? Interestin’ shit goin’ on here in tha 2nd verse; street shit to tha fullest!! Your voice sounds funny on dis verse; almost sounds like tha words aren’t comin’ out all tha way, lol. Forgot to mention dat tha hook iz tight; good shit all tha way ‘round!! LOL, you KNOW you gotta continue wit tha 3rd verse here!! My Rating: 4.5


02. “Let’s Ride” Feat. Fedarro
Heard dis earlier… Hearin’ tha singin’ in tha beginning… Not really big about this singin’ but it’s a pretty catchy hook. Let’s hear how good you are on tha 1st verse… “Chasin’ a girl”-type song rather than “ridin’”-type lyrics? Oh, tha word “let’s” separates that… You “went to jail;” really? What happened? Pretty good job on tha 1st verse here… Tha 2nd verse sounds like a mix of Plies and Soulja Slim wit how it sounds. Not sayin’ that it’s real and fake, but that tha voice sounds like them combined. Kinda long wit tha bridge when I look at tha remainin’ length of 50 seconds; thought there was gonna be a 3rd verse… Startin’ ta like dat “you lookin’ like a diva” part in tha hook! My Current Rating: 3.6


03. “Criminal Mind” Feat. Young Tah
No features listed on tha DatPiff tracklisting? Anyway, my TOP-RATED song iz on here!! Interestin’ sample on tha hook; this iz becomin’ a real hot beat overall!! I like your lil’ pieces on tha hook; tight shit!! Let’s hear what you got… Fuckin’ LUVIN’ tha rappin’ wit tha beat!! You sound like a fuckin’ legend; keep doin’ ya thang!!! Gutta-ass, gangsta-ass verse from you right there!! Let’s see what tha tight Tah has ta offer… Yup, mo hot-ass shit!! “Blowin’ on purp;” dumb shit!! My Current Rating: 4.8


04. “Stack Chips”
How good’ll this sound? >>> Interestin’-soundin’ beat. Ooh, tha hook’s REAL NICE!! Who are tha features?!? Thumbs up here!! Even soundin’ pretty gutta as fuck on tha 1st verse here!! Tha 2nd verse’s gutta as hell too!! “Almost had a grave in ’99?” Scary shit! My Rating: 4.7


05. “Somethin’ New” Feat. G-Lynn
>>> About 5.5 minutes long? I like tha beat sound here; nice and long too! A cool-singin’ hook here; likin’ it! Interestin’ shit you spittin’ fa tha ladies here in tha 1st verse! I really am enjoyin’ this beat so you know tha interest stays alive! LOL, must be G-Lynn on tha 2nd verse; startin’ off pretty good. LOL, she even said, “huh bruh,” towards tha end of her verse; nice job right there! LOL, now tha both of y’all holdin’ it down on tha 3rd verse, two bars at a time! This was from “2009,” huh (‘cause you said, “2009 Bonnie & Clyde”)? My Rating: 4.3


06. “Been Ballin’”
>>> Sounds cool wit tha organ and sample in tha hook! Soundin’ pretty nice here; “now, it’s 2007;” iz this song this old? You were born 1974 (since you said tha “Age 17” thing was “back in ‘91”)? Maybe I was right about tha “Age 35” thing on tha last review, LMAO? That was a random guess too!! Nice job on tha 1st verse, doin’ ya thang (as always)!! Tha 2nd verse sounds real, real tight wit tha consistency!! You REALLY holdin’ tha 2nd verse down wit all your heart and soul!! Tha 3rd verse also iz real rapid wit all tha shit goin’ on!! My Rating: 4.5


07. “Baby Eyez Like Mine”
Iz this dedicated to your daughter? >>> Sounds like a gross, jacked beat. Not too gross; this like ‘07ish too…? Sounds good when your rappin’ iz combined! Nice job on tha 1st verse and tha hook’s good; I luv tha rapidness in tha rappin’! Nice job wit tha 2nd verse too; sounded like there were SO many words in it, lol!! My Rating: 4.1


08. “D-Boy Magic”
How good’ll this be? >>> LOL, sounds familiar wit tha Joc sample. “Sold so much dope;” what’s dat like? How you get people to catch onto it? I luv all this drug shit and tha gangsta shit goin’ on here; you have a SHITLOAD amount of drug shit here!! It goes to show you how much you be grindin’ out in tha streetz!! Nice job wit tha rest of dis shit too! My Rating: 4.2


½time: Sounds real nice so far; you REALLY keepin’ it goin’ here!! Keep up tha GR8 work; sounds like a LOT of GR8 songs that were extras inserted into my hands!! NICE 4.3 average CD rating so far!


09. “Play Yo Role”
>>> Weird mix of like 70’s music and an odd beat. But, you sound REAL NICE wit how you comin’ through on tha track!! Tha 2nd verse iz soundin’ pretty good but if I’m 1:50 in and I have to wait anotha 2:48 ‘til this ends, that’s not good. This could’ve been like under three minutes. Tha beat shit iz really repetitive; why it gotta last almost five minutes? I like tha “magic stick/rabbit tricks” shit; nice right there! Damn, this just keeps goin’ on and on and on and on… My Rating: 2.7


10. “Money” Feat. Fedarro, Budda & Lil’ One
LOL. Sounds like it gon be good for tha start. I know tha verses’ll be tight!! Budda’s on tha 1st verse, soundin’ pretty good here. Iz this Lil’ One The Champ or tha old rapper Lil’ One on tha 2nd verse? Not bad on tha verse… Damn, you’re on tha 3rd verse? What a BLESSIN’ here wit tha fast rappin’!!! Keep it goin’!!! My Current Rating: 4.3


11. “Mind On My Money” Feat. Young Tah
Anotha “money” song, lol? >>> This one sounds like “Dead Wrong” sounds in tha beginning, lol. This has a catchy hook too. Nice job wit tha 1st verse here; all about bein’ focused!! Whoeva dat Money Boy dude was on tha 2nd verse (I don’t think it’s tha same person as tha King Fancy Ent. dude) did a good job on tha 2nd verse. I won’t source him ‘til I know his correct name. Ooh, now, I know that Young Tah’s on tha 3rd verse, doin’ his thang to tha fullest!! GR8 ta have him on tha song again!! What’s wit all tha silence at tha end? My Rating: 4.2


12. “Dat Day”
>>> “August 2, 9:30” you wrote this song? LOL, had ta quote it. Anyway, beat iz too weird so I don’t think this’ll be that great… I do like that you’re rappin’ fast but there’s nothin’ special about this fa me. LOL, a sad anthem? I don’t know what else ta say… LOL, did you say, “kiwi”? ROFL @ whateva’s goin’ on here; there’s so much, lol! “Now, it’s goin’ on tha 11th;” you’ve been writin’ this song fa nine dayz? My Rating: 3.3


13. “Last Dayz”
Wit a “z”, lol! Kojack doin’ his thang on tha beat… Cool Southern-styled beat for a start. Interestin’ lyrics; I’ll give you a plus here for tha content on this nice beat! Nice job wit tha rest of tha shit goin’ on here; a FULL song from you!!! NICE video too! ROFL @ that E-40 sample and his “Bible” shit all ova this song! I think it’s sad when someone has to “kill someone to fit in.” I’ve ALWAYS avoided tha “fit in”-type shit and look where I am now! My Current Rating: 3.9


14. “If I Die”
Tupac on tha sample here. Okay, I’m likin’ tha beat in tha 1st verse; nice piano. You sound pretty good wit tha consistent rhymes! Tha 2nd verse sounds like you’re tryin’ ta escape all tha bullshit. That’s a mission. I hope my mission completes when I get ta do shit in person wit people. I don’t know when dat day’s gonna come… What’s up wit tha really long ending? Cool beat, but you’ve had like three-verse songs throughout this whole CD… My Current Rating: 3.8


15. “Letter 2 My Daughters”
Oh, so you have multiple kids? Now, I know tha range of how old you are so it’s not like you’re 20 or whateva. >>> Good thing this iz kinda short; too many long songs so it had to be switched up. Tha New York sound in tha beat here. It’s an odd mix from a Louisiana sound but it’s cool when you rap. “Missin’” them? Where are you? You “died already?” When? Lots of “daddy” shit here, lol. Definitely a lil’ catchy! My Rating: 3.4


16. “Try Street Related”
Whoeva does gon get fucked up!! Fa real!!! >>> Anotha gross-soundin’ beat? Why these funny intros on tha beats? At least your rappin’s on point here! Oh, there had ta be singin’ in tha hook, lol? I like all your fast-ass shit in tha hook comin’ outta nowhere, lol! I like tha featured dude on tha 2nd verse; sounds like he’s serious! Tha 3rd verse iz pretty good too… My Rating: 3.8


Overall: I don’t know which CD I liked betta. Both CDs did nearly tha same thang: Somewhat fluctuatin’ 2nd ½, GR8 1st ½… Multiple tight songs, some dry songs. I dunno… This CD has one less song, lol.
