Review #699: Snipe "Dealer"

Reviewed on 12.19.2010 (Review #699)


Time ta keep tha reviewz goin’ fa today! Startin’ it off iz Snipe “Dealer”! Chopper City Records in tha buildin’! Start Time: 8:12 AM | End Time: 9:15 AM


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.

Oh yea, I don’t have a tracklisting so this gon be a blind review. Let’s see how it gon start! >>> Ooh, it sounds like older music! How old iz this? I guess it’s recent due to its post on Word Of South. Nice vibe here and you doin’ a nice job here, Snipe. Nice hook wit tha lady on it… My Rating: 4.3


02.
#2… >>> What’s up wit tha fade-in intro? This sounds more like an actual current sound, which iz pretty good for tha streetz! My Rating: 4.1


03.
Keepin’ it goin’ here… >>> Not bad here; “reppin’ dat Nola” to tha fullest, I see. Tha acapella at tha end was cool. My Rating: 3.9


04.
What’ll this one sound like? >>> Sounds like a quiet start and almost sounds like #2? But, tha hook has more of “suspect” in tha hook more than “tell ‘em who I’m iz”. More of a non-“trust” issue when it comes to people; definitely a plus here. You know I moved on from trust issues as far as networkin’ goes! Now, I’m all about win/win situations! Ooh, I see Skip hopped onto tha 2nd verse, talkin’ ‘bout dat real shit! My Rating: 4.2


05.
>>> Nice beat start here; I think dis gon be pretty good. Sounds like a “protection” anthem here; thumbs up… I like tha rhymin’ wit “-ycle”; good job wit tha flow here! Good content, too. My Rating: 4.2


06.
What’ll be next? >>> Longer song this time and a more anticipated beat intro! Good shit here; consistent rhymes over a pretty tight beat! Even if it’s just one sound in tha verse, it’s hotness! Tha intro to my debut CD has only ONE sound effect tha whole way ‘through and it sounds REAL tight wit me rappin’ on it! Ooh, a fast rapper appeared on tha 2nd verse; will I be able ta ID tha fastness, lol? Sounds like anotha dude on tha 3rd verse, too. Slower flow but a better attitude when rappin’! Sounds like dis’s called “One Dance” based off of what you “need” in tha hook? My Rating: 4.5


07.
Pretty good streak here; let’s keep it up! >>> LOL, even longer here. Oh, Auto-Tune? Just goin’ to skip without hesitation! I get lucky wit tha A-Tune skips; they’re always, like, five minutes! It saves me time ‘cause I got HUNDREDS of current CDs to review before tha end of tha year! Don’t need to waste time on garbage!! My Rating: 1.0


08.
>>> Ooh, fast rappin’ goin’ on here!! Tha beat’s pretty nice wit a lil’ organ sound in tha background! Tha rappin’ iz so consistent here; good shit! Soundin’ like a Jay-Z sample here wit tha “fuckin’ boss” (or “dawg”), lol. Tha 2nd verse sounds like a fast T.I.; good shit! My Rating: 4.3


09.
Almost at tha ½ point; let’s make it good fa what happened wit #7! >>> Beat sounds kinda depressin’… Tha rappin’ iz DEFINITELY on point here, though! Doesn’t even matter what tha beat sounds like now!! Tha beat ending iz real nice! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Soundin’ pretty good; you got a consistent set of rhymes as well as some pretty good production, too! So far, you’re at a 3.9 for this CD; let’s keep it up and tha wackness down!


10.
Start of tha 2nd ½… >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ intro wit tha beat once again! Tha beginning of tha rappin’ (hook?) sounds like I bound ta hear a fast rapper (like my boy Lil’ Witness)! “Like an exclamation point”; this iz DEFINITELY nice!! “[Cold life]” here on tha content; you know what it iz! Tha last hook sounded a lil’ off-beat… My Rating: 4.2


11.
>>> Doesn’t sound like a good start; you shouldn’t use a sample to prove a point. Tha beat’s startin’ ta sound a lil’ underground so this iz a plus… Tha hook seems boring but tha rhymes are still good. Damn, this iz almost four minutes? Would’ve been better if it was a lil’ under three minutes. My Rating: 3.3


12.
>>> Sounds like a betta start. Tha hook sounds like a jam. Very consistent wit all tha rhymes goin’ on here!! A 50-second beat outro? My Rating: 4.3


13.
>>> Damn, this sounds like a depressin’ one. Was waitin’ for tha A-Tune to come out so I could skip it but there’s none. Kinda soft to hear this right now so I believe dat it doesn’t exactly fit. It’s a pretty good slow jam, regardless. I actually like tha long drum ending. My Rating: 3.5


14.
What’ll be next? >>> This sounds slow, too; what tha? Good attitude but tha previous song was better. My Rating: 3.4


15.
Next. >>> Damn, this iz anotha slow song; I kinda can’t take all these back to back… Are these just gettin’ more and more boring for me? Tha last verse wasn’t too bad… My Rating: 3.1


16.
C’mon now… >>> Was a lil’ bleh in tha beginning but sounds interestin’ that it’s about a “natural high”; good shit! Overall, this iz kinda boring for me; tha hook was mainly tha catch for me, unfortunately. LOL @ tha “fiendin’ fa my semen” part before tha verse ended! My Rating: 3.7


17.
>>> What a GAY hook!! Are we eva gonna recover from this mess? Not that bad on tha 1st verse but nothin’ special to make for a CD that was originally pretty tight! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty gay for dis, too… Good thing you at least took over on tha 2nd ½ of it… My Rating: 1.8


18.
Tha last song; will it piss me off, too? >>> Quiet sounding? It’s really low on tha volume but sounds better… Once tha hook came on, it doesn’t sound like somethin’ I’d have a lot of interest for. My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Started off pretty good but really had a bad 2nd ½…
