Review #697: Dumaine "I'm Who They Waitin' On"

Reviewed on 12.18.2010 (Review #697)

Time fa an ’08 review. I thought this was new but it’s from ’08. It’s even on Amazon and CDBaby so that’s a plus! Here’s my review for Dumaine “I’m Who They Waitin’ On”! Start Time: 8:09 PM | End Time: 9:31 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. “Intro”

Time ta start dis anticipatin’ CD off!! I bet dis gon be some GR8 music for my radio show!! >>> Why does it sound so quiet in tha beginning? Anyway, by ear, it sounds pretty hot! Sounds like you have a Foxx flow or somethin’; definitely some hot shit here, especially tha production!! My Rating: 4.4

02. “Acting Bad” Feat. Foxx

LOL, here’s Foxx on tha feature; how ironic! Let’s see what we got… >>> Beat’s good and tha intro sounds like what anyone could make. Definitely mo good shit here; dis gon be REAL consistent to tha fullest!! Tha 1^st verse iz pretty tight; DEFINITE 225 style 24/7!!! Nice job wit tha collaboration and tha consistency here!! My Rating: 4.5

03. “Heard About Me” Feat. Bezze B

Wonder who dis Bezze B dude iz; definitely feelin’ anticipated!! >>> Shit yea, MO HOT SHIT!!! Tha beat’s real Southern and tha atmosphere iz somethin’ you can REALLY embrace here!! :tu Good shit wit tha tight hook and tha 1^st verse iz dat shit I can feel to tha max! Damn, this ended pretty quick… Good job on tha collaboration, though! My Rating: 4.4

04. “So Bad” Feat. Adlib

>>> What’s this shit? Doesn’t even sound right…; track #04? Maybe toward tha end of tha CD but we were just gettin’ pumped up! No feedback needed. I will say dat it’s betta than ½ tha garbage I listed to earlier today! My Rating: 1.4

05. “I Need It Bad”

Another “bad” title? >>> At least this has more of a style to it and not tryin’ to sound like everyone else! Lemme take dat back about tha “soundin’ like everyone else;” tha lyrics kinda sound like everyone else here. But, tha beat sounds like dat hot BR-type shit. Kinda scary wit havin’ a baby mama and not carin’ how you feel durin’ tha night… Good shit here. My Rating: 4.2

06. “Parking Lot” Feat. Dino Danja & Yung Sicka

What’s wit tha weird spellin’ of Dino Danja spelled “Deno Danger”? That’s, like, how I would spell names when I was in middle school, lol. Anyway, let’s see how good dis’ll be… >>> Yea, feelin’ dis! Nice, long intro of tha hook and tha tight beat! Keepin’ it gangsta wit tha content and how all y’all comin’ through on tha track; dumb shit! Oh, Yung Sicka iz on tha 3^rd verse; smh @ tha name confusion once again (listed as “Sika”)! Sounds even betta; a tri-combo to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.6

07. “Keep It Hood” Feat. Savage Sosa, Young Gage & B.T.

“Savage Sosa” as a whole name? Should I not fall for it? I think dis gon be REAL NICE, especially hearin’ everyone on dis!! >>> Sounds pretty nice in tha beginning! Good hook once again!! Tha beat’s DEFINITELY nice; gotta LUV, LUV, LUV tha 225!!! I guess I did fall fa tha Savage dude ‘cause it does not sound like Savage (Supa Sav)! Soundin’ pretty nice—like a Young Bleed on dis shit! Damn, what a REAL TIGHT verse from (I believe) Young Gage!!! That was, just, CONSISTENT!!! Ooh, even more from (I believe) B.T., doin’ tha damn thang on tha final verse!!! What a GREAT last minute to a HOT song!!! My Rating: 4.6

08. “Trust ‘Em” Feat. Ill Will

Who iz dis featured artist? Are they from Louisiana? >>> Good, Southern start. It sounds like y’all doin’ a nice job on dis shit; y’all have tha consistency on lock! Tha hook’s pretty nice, too. It’s all about real shit in a Southern autobiography! What a GR8 featured artist once again!! Tha 2^nd verse just doin’ it BIG!!! My Rating: 4.5

09. “Plan B”
Let’s hear it, solo style! >>> This sounds pretty good; interestin’ concept on a tight beat once again! You did ya thang, consistently, here. My Rating: 4.2

10. “Wreck Something”

Let’s keep it goin’! >>> Sounds like dis finna be an anthe—lol @ your start about dem “pussy-asses”! Everyone has a song dedicated ta people dat dislike them? Tha hook’s definitely offical; you doin’ ya thang here! Tha 1^st verse has a REAL GR8 attitude in it; DEFINITE plus!! You REALLY held dis shit down to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.4

½time: With only one song that didn’t even belong on here, you REALLY doin’ tha damn thang here!! So far, you’re sittin’ at a 4.1 for tha CD rating! Keep these HOT jointz comin’!! It’s always buku luv from me, ya dig?!?

11. “No Sunshine”

I think this iz not goin’ to be for me… >>> Ugh, slow start? Not tha kinda shit I wanna hear… This iz at least betta than dat #4. Even though this sounds too soft, I kinda like tha hook; you held tha hook down pretty good. Tha good thing about a song like dis iz I’m not sittin’ here, rottin’ fa 5+ minutes; it’s only 2:59! You should’ve had, like, a gangsta, crunk beat instead! Tha content iz true, though. My Rating: 3.2

12. “‘Bout That” Feat. Kevin Gates & Savage

Looks like we finna have a comeback! 4:45 on tha length? Shit yea!! Let’s see how hot dis shit iz… wit tha actual Savage, too, lol! >>> Sounds REAL HOT wit tha production; reminds me of some of tha older ‘00’s!! You’re doin’ ya thang here; DEFINITE plus!! All about keepin’ dat hot, street shit delivered in a REAL GR8-SOUNDIN’ way!!! Time fa some Gates… He doin’ a nice job on tha 2^nd verse wit all tha consistent shit goin’ on. Definitely some nice content, a GR8 flow, and a GR8 track overall!! Tha hook’s cool, too; gangsta shit! Let’s hear what Sav has ta offer!! Consistent rhymin’ once again; shit yea!! LOL @ tha “hickup” shit; dumb shit, Sav!! My Rating: 4.8

13. “Wildout”

Looks like a good title. You gon hold anotha 4+ minute song by yourself? Let’s find out! >>> Nice production, GR8 hook!! Good, consistent, Southern rhymes and content all throughout dis shit! I’m definitely feelin’ tha “smokin’ on dat green” and “swangin’ lane ta lane on dem 24’s, mane” shit in tha hook; DEFINITELY tight!! ROFL, really cold, cut-off ending? My Rating: 4.4

14. “I’m On Now”

Anotha song of just yours wit a longer length, lol. Let’s see dis one… >>> Sounds good once again! Good job on makin’ anotha anthem! Sounds like Savage wit how you rappin’ dis shit; gotta luv it!! You and your consistency; gotta luv it!! Glad you support everyone featured on dis CD; dat’s some REAL-ASS SHIT!!!!! My Rating: 4.3

15. “Scarred Up” Feat. Lap & B.T.

Looks like it gon be real good!! Who “scarred” iz tha scene gon look? >>> Sounds real gutta and gangsta wit tha beat!! These tha kinda tracks I fall in luv for, easily!! Interestin’ hook; more on a “retarded” tip accordin’ to what’s said in tha hook. You really holdin’ it down here; nothin’ but dat hot shit!! Here’s anotha 225 representa (Lap?), doin’ tha damn thang on tha 2^nd verse!! It’s all about showin’ dat gutta side!! Tha 3^rd verse iz here and there’s DEFINITELY a NICE attitude applied to tha verse; gotta luv it!!! What a REAL GR8 ending to tha verse, too!!! My Rating: 4.7

16. “Get Loose”

A short song wit just you on it; let’s see… >>> Interestin’, cool beat wit a good flow from you on dis shit. Nice job holdin’ it down on a club vibe here! My Rating: 4.1

17. “Cause I’m Gangsta”

Let’s hear it! >>> Interestin’ start to tha beat; it gets me hyped up. Good job wit tha 1^st verse and your history wit “Rap-A-Lot” and everything else goin’ on in your “gangsta” life, ya dig? Catchy hook; you know what it iz! You’re SO consistent wit what you do!! You should feel REAL PROUD of yourself!! My Rating: 4.3

18. “Lay Yo Head”

What’s this? >>> Kinda slow on tha start; hope it ain’t too bad fa me… What tha? Not even an original beat? Sounds aight based off your perspective. But, I don’t have close-to-enough interest as tha other songs on here! My Rating: 3.4

19. “Mo Money”

What we got here? >>> Dat Savage/Beat Flippa kinda production dat I luv ta hear!! Good, consistent shit once again! Tha hook iz on a motivational tip; I respect how you comin’ through wit it! Very consistent; who would dislike somethin’ like dis? My Rating: 4.3

20. “On Lock” Feat. Tasha

What will this collab sound like? >>> Tha beat’s nice and Southern and it’s a tight anthem for tha ones in jail! Free Yung Yola, D.$.G., K.O., Uncle T, Crowley Redd & Ratchet D!! Hope everyone gets outta jail soon!! Tha gurl sounds pretty good vocalizing on tha hook. I like your start to tha 2^nd verse wit tha “fulla dat shit” line. We need ta do some bidness together, my boy! Wait a second… you added me on Facebook August 11? SHIT-FUCKIN’-YEAH!!! :tu Glad you discovered me, ya heard me? Good job wit these motivational, consistent, continuous lyrics!! My Rating: 4.2

21. “Hatin’ So Bad” Feat. T-Dogg

Oh, T-Dogg on tha feature? Then forget about what I said about “addin’ me;” he added me instead (Tony T-Dogg Dumaine). I think; lol, I’m confused. Tha beat’s pretty nice here and tha hook sounds pretty tight wit tha singin’! Thumbs up to “[saggin’ tha] ‘Bauds;” you know what it iz! You keepin’ yourself steady wit what you do; tha haters have NOTHIN’ on you, ya dig? Nice job wit dis collaboration and stickin’ to your guns!! My Rating: 4.2

Overall: Tha power of ’08 music!! You DEFINITELY brought some HOT music to tha table!! I’m REAL GLAD you’re very motivated wit what you do!! VERY, VERY HOT production and GR8 people you know to feature on your CD!! Keep up tha REAL GR8 work!!!
