Review #694: Young James "Radio Musik"

Reviewed on 12.18.2010 (Review #694)




Next review iz Young James “Radio Musik”. I see you have a back cover this time; maybe you improved? Start Time: 3:06 PM | End Time: 3:44 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. 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. “That Way”
>>> An aight intro but once again, too typical; can hear this from anyone else. My Rating: 2.6


02. “Set It Off”
>>> Better than tha intro track but only by a lil’ bit. You still have some of tha wackness in your rhymes wit tha typical shit. What’s up wit you tryin’ ta sound like everyone else? It’s SO gay!! Why all tha “like…” shit? My Rating: 2.7


03. “Rap Dinner”
>>> Here we go again. Tha beats aren’t bad at all; it’s just filled wit bullshit that’s ruinin’ tha mainstream. What’s up wit tha 4:00 length? You gotta keep it equal on a mixtape! I thought I heard how much you were “on [yo] shit” in tha last song, smh? My Rating: 3.3


04. “Champion”
>>> Again wit tha length that doesn’t fit for right now, smh. What’s up wit tha really long beat intro? Are you afraid to say somethin’ or somethin’? After 1:01, here you come. Betta than tha typical shit I’ve heard from you but I’m not likin’ all these instrumental parts. My Rating: 3.2


05. “They Talk’n” Feat. Cranky
>>> Basically, this iz internet music that’ll neva get anywhere. Not hatin’ or anything; just speakin’ tha truth. Cranky a gurl, lol? My Rating: 2.5


06. “Be Iight”
You have “light” on tha back cover? >>> Gayness (‘cause of tha beat chosen). My Rating: 1.2


07. “The Convo”
>>> C’mon wit this samplin’ shit; where’s tha originality? Okay, it took you 49.99% of tha song to rap, smh? Not too bad but there’s more of tha beat than you so that’s a minus. My Rating: 2.4


08. “Hater”
>>> You had better talk breaks on tha last CD; this iz just plain. Tha rappin’s okay but where’s tha proof ta show dat it’s real? My Rating: 2.0


09. “Let’s Talk”
>>> Kinda good but I’m not into tha repetitive hook here. An okay verse, too. My Rating: 3.4


10. “Word Play”
>>> I dunno about it bein’ about GR8 “word play” but it’s just decent for what it iz. My Rating: 2.8


½time: I dunno what ta say… 2.6-rated CD, at tha moment.


11. “Miss Me (Freestyle)” Feat. Young Minny
>>> Beat’s somewhat gay/not even a Louisiana sound. These rhymes are gettin’ really boring; there’s nothin’ special about ‘em for me. Tha featured artist’s a lil’ betta but where’s tha proof of all dis gun shit/content? My Rating: 2.1


12. “Body Bang’n” Feat. Mz. Peaches
>>> Sounds like tha best song on here but some of tha wack lyrics minus tha chances of dat. WTH happened @ 1:18? Sounded like somethin’ blended in outta nowhere. Good collaboration; dat mixin’ ‘round 1:59 was uncalled for. My Rating: 3.1


13. “Impress”
>>> Damn, a four-minute song… Cheesy; not even gonna leave feedback. What new and exciting feature iz this song tryin’ ta offer? What? My Rating: 1.3


14. “Ride With Me”
>>> WTF? A song 4.75 minutes long? What are you tryna prove? Skipped it ASAP!! My Rating: 1.0


15. “Radio Musik”
>>> Almost thought I was gonna skip it when I heard tha hook. A lil’ more energy applied ta dis shit; let’s see how dis song scores. I don’t get why you want 4+ minute songs when you should just stick to anything under 120 seconds! Overall, this was a lil’ boring but nothin’ too terrible. My Rating: 2.7


16. “I Got It” Feat. Young C
>>> Here we go wit tha lengths… Just nothin’ but okayness here. My Rating: 3.0


17. “Look Of It (Freestyle)”
>>> How come this ain’t tha ’05/’06 version? It’s always this random, ‘09/’10 version, smh. Anyway, this was betta than I expected; decent. My Rating: 3.3


18. I’m Out Til Next Tyme
>>> Now, your “ya digs” sound like a jacked Weezy. WTF @ tha gunshots? Didn’t even match tha volume of your voice/tha beat? SMH… My Rating: N/A


19. “It Been A Pleasure (Freestyle)”
>>> Sounds like a decent beat ta rap on. Tha rappin’ sounds pretty annoyin’ wit tha “like…” shit once again. My Rating: 2.6


20. “Big Brother (Remix)” with Franko
>>> Oh, this song again… Sounds tha same… I’ll just rate it a lil’ higher since I’m hearin’ it again. My Rating: 3.1


Overall: Looks like this CD turned out betta but there was not much an improvement.
