Review #710: Silkk The Shocker "All I Do Is Win Mixtape Vol. 1 (Hosted by DJ Ryan Live)"

Reviewed on 12.20.2010 (Review #710)


Tha next review I got on deck iz Silkk The Shocker “All I Do Is Win Mixtape Vol. 1 (Hosted by DJ Ryan Live); how will it go? Start Time: 10:17 AM | End Time: 11:22 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.

01. Intro
Time ta start anotha review, lol! >>> Good collage of Silkk hits. My Rating: N/A


02. “Shock The World”
Let’s hear dis… >>> I like dis beat and I like tha “cars” part about “insurin’ ‘em.” Tha “bein’ in front of dat cam like it was Dipset” part was nice; good combo of Cam’ron and tha camera, lol! LOL @ tha “I know it’s a lot of ball references”; you got a lot ta offer! It all good, ya dig? This prolly could’ve been around a minute shorter but at least you holdin’ it down. Oh, neva mind, at least there’s an acapella at tha end dat sounds REAL nice!! Gotta boost tha rating, now! My Rating: 4.3


03. “All I Do Is Win”
>>> SMH @ tha original hook. That’s why I was afraid ta see what dis mixtape would offer ‘cause of tha title. But, after tha 1st song bein’ nice, there could be a chance. It sounds like you doin’ a good job wit tha consistent rhymes again. You have really consistent rhymes ta offer and I’m feelin’ ‘em! My Rating: 3.9


04. “Women Lie, Men Lie”
LOL!! >>> Here’s an original hook I don’t mind ‘cause it makes me lol. Rhymes are good here… I like how tha length’s only a lil’ over two minutes; let’s keep tha freestyles like dat. My Rating: 4.1


05. “Beamer, Benz, Bently”
Some of these are yawns for me (tha beats), especially if I hear ‘em on so many mixtapes… >>> Good thing it’s short again. Good job wit tha GR8 rhymes! My Rating: 3.8


06. “Slow Down”
>>> Not this again; what was this, like, three times I heard dis beat in two dayz? SMH. Good rhymes, though. SMH @ tha Jeezy ending… My Rating: 3.7


07. “Willy Wonka”
>>> Not this one, too… At least there’s a shitload of consistent, tight rhymes goin’ on here!! My Rating: 4.4


08. “She Said”
>>> VERY GAY!!! I skipped tha 1st minute and just hopped to your part. Where’s tha New Orleans sound I knew you for? :confused Good that they can “make [someone] moan” but not wit gay vocals!! My Rating: 1.2


09. “On My Way”
>>> Good thing this iz short, too. Tha beat sounds good for rappin’ on. Not bad wit how you came through on dis one. My Rating: 3.6


10. “Roger That”
Oh no… 4:12 on tha length, too. >>> Good rhymes once again. However, I can’t stand tha Wayne/Drake-rhyme flow… Why does every rapper, especially tha ones in Louisiana dat I’m tryin’ ta listen to, have ta have dat flow?!? My Rating: 3.8


11. “The Best”
>>> What’s goin’ on here wit tha rewindin’? :confused Even though tha gay, typical flow I commented on earlier, I like tha “lotto; quick pick” part. :tu My Rating: 3.7


½time: Even though a jacked-beat kinda mixtape, it’s a 3.7-rated CD so far.


12. “Whatever”
A new Silkk song on an original beat? >>> Not tha kinda shit I’d expect ta hear. At least tha R&B vocals on tha hook’s like 90’s/Early 2000’s although I’m not that crazy about dis. Once tha title part came, it sounded a lil’ catchier. Tha 1st verse from you was pretty good… My Rating: 3.9


13. “Turn Things Around”
>>> SMH, “Rude Boy”? What’s wit tha gay-soundin’ hook? If it would’ve had Auto-Tune, I would’ve skipped it ASAP! Nice “[wakin’] up” rhymes in tha beginning but what kinda interest would I have in this? Seriously…? My Rating: 1.8


14. “This Is What We Do”
>>> 5:15 on tha length? I gotta go take a shit so I’ll be listenin’ via tha bathroom! Okay, from what I heard: tha pre-made hook (that’s what it sounds like) sounds pretty good fa dis. All tha verses are good; sounds like a good song for you dat you can even attach to anotha mixtape of yours. My Rating: 3.8


15. “Holla At Cha Boy”
>>> Kinda plain; don’t really have anything ta say… My Rating: 2.5


16. “Move Out The Way”
>>> Damn, even longer: 6:56? Hope it ain’t boring like tha last song! Has to be all tha way entertainin’!! Well, tha hook ain’t bad but to last anotha 6.5 minutes, I dunno… Tha “Kenan … Kel flow” was REAL NICE!!! Tha 2nd verse iz keepin’ it goin’, too, just like tha 1st verse… You’re keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd verse, too; glad you mentionin’ buku peoples’ names and buku things, too. Glad you didn’t bore me wit dis one, regardless of tha length of tha song! Tha 4th verse sounds good. Right afta, it sounds a lil’ like Jim Jones? Tha rappers keep switchin’, lol? There’s no source of who’s who, unfortunately. LOL @ just randomly, “[steppin’] inta shit.” :rofl My Rating: 4.0


17. “Turnt Up”
ROFL… >>> Kinda, like, what anyone could come up wit as far as tha flow. Tha lyrics are just aight… My Rating: 2.7


18. “Stunt Hard”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! >>> Bleh… Okay rappin’ but nothin’ to get me all pumped up. I thought Young Chris was on tha 2nd verse fa a second, lol. I dunno why I keep thinkin’ tha East Coast wit these verses at times, lol. Pretty good job on dat verse, though. Tha 3rd verse has consistent thangz ta rap about; good shit here! Well, tha content’s gettin’ a lil’ typical… My Rating: 3.2


19. “Soldier Ragg”
LOL, it’s about time there’s a title dat has ta do wit New Orleans! >>> Now dis sounds like an anthem; good shit! An official 504 joint; not dat bullshit, mainstream shit! Tha 1st verse’s definitely nice and at 1:18, it sounds REAL NICE wit tha fast rappin’!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like it doesn’t have anything different to offer. It does get a lil’ betta before tha verse ends, though. Tha 3rd verse sounds cool; thumbs up ta whoeva’s wit you on dis shit. My Rating: 4.3


20. “They Ain’t Gonna Like That”
Anotha album cut? >>> I “like” dis; catchy hook right chea. Tha beat’s a lil’ plain but sounds good for a mainstream artist like you. Good rhymes for tha 1st verse, doin’ you. My Rating: 4.1


21. “Angels”
This again? Heard this beat yesterday, too, lol… >>> This iz decent; nothin’ special, nothin’ bad. My Rating: 3.5


22. “Maybach Music”
Bleh… What an ending for 5:56, too. :td >>> Why tha same beats on different peoples’ mixtapes? There are other beats out there and online! Rhymes are good/decent. I wonder who tha others are, still? My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Decent… Your album songs were pretty nice. I wonder how dat’ll be?
