Review #715: Vamp "Hands On Vol. 2"

Reviewed on 12.20.2010 (Review #715)




Commercial-free, here goes my 7th review for today: Vamp “Hands On Vol. 2”! Start Time: 4:36 PM | End Time: 5:34 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. “Big Dog” Feat. Juvenile
Ooh, dis looks like it gon be some good shit ta start thangz off! >>> LOL, just started wit Juvie, doin’ tha damn thang on tha hook (sampled?)! Where’s “Vol. 1”? You sound good on tha verse, doin’ ya thang; I feel dat, bruh. My Rating: 4.3


02. “Keep It Real” Feat. Magnolia Chop
(As they say) “Gots to!” >>> Dat good, current, 504-type shit! Chop holdin’ down tha hook in a (imitates) “grea—grea—grea—grea—great way”, lol! You did a nice job wit tha 1st verse; just showin’ buku luv ta tha streetz! Tha 2nd verse also proves dat you keepin’ it goin’ here; that’s what’s up! My Rating: 4.2


03. “Ride Of Her Life” Feat. Blaq N Mild & Naja
Interestin’ collab here; what you got on dis one? >>> Pretty good wit tha BNM vibe on tha beat. Tha hook’s a lil’ strange but I’ll accept it on this beat. Not bad for tha rest of dis… My Rating: 3.1


04. “I’m Sick (Freestyle)” Feat. Lil’ Real One & Wild Bill
I like dat you always have features; that’s a bet! >>> Tha hook sounds good; you got dis shit on lock wit tha good beat behind you! Tha 1st verse sounds good wit dis “smokin’” shit as well as all tha “___ shit” parts; good “shit”, lol! Tha 2nd verse iz bringin’ dat good gangsta shit to tha table! My Rating: 4.3


05. “When Shit Get Real” Feat. Kayotic & Wild Bill
Keepin’ it movin’… >>> Heard dis Vybe beat before on various types; how will your version sound? Sounds pretty nice here; tha hook iz definitely on point! Tha 1st verse keepin’ it gangsta once again! Tha 2nd verse iz on dat tight, gangsta shit, too; really luvin’ how y’all comin’ through wit it!! Damn, iz each verse gettin’ betta and betta? Tha 3rd verse iz, just, REAL GOOD wit dis gangsta shit!! My Rating: 4.4


06. “That’s How I’m Rocking (Freestyle)” Feat. Lil’ E
>>> You got good ears for beats; good sound here! Consistent rappin’ here; good job! Tha hook’s pretty catchy; how will E do vs. you? Good rappin’ but sounds kinda typical wit tha “hoes” subject. Tha “eat your girl up like a piece of chicken” part was pretty tight, though; it’s all about gettin’ descriptive! My Rating: 4.1


07. “What It Do” Feat. Wild Bill
Keepin’ it goin’, feature style! >>> Good intro and tha song sounds pretty catchy… Really feelin’ tha content here ‘bout tha “police” and all dat. Gotta luv how you be bringin’ dis hot shit to tha table; keep it comin’!! Good shit from Bill, too; you DEFINITELY have tha clique on lock!! My Rating: 4.5


08. “Shit Be On My Mind”
LOL, no feature? Let’s see how you can handle yaself on ya own… >>> Prolly heard dis Vybe beat on someone’s CD once before. Even though pretty stale, it sounds pretty good when you’re rappin’ on it. Good job wit tha 1st verse; you got a lot “on [your] mind”! Tha 2nd verse sounded pretty good, too. Nice job wit handlin’ a beat dat wasn’t, really, that average for me. My Rating: 3.9


½time: A 4.1-rated CD so far; good shit! You a dawg wit dis shit; I fux wit chu!!


09. “Got This Feeling”
>>> This beat’s much worse than tha previous one; yuck! Tha only thang dat grabbed my attention was when you said, “smoke…,” in tha beginning. Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good; you’re makin’ me actually like dis shit! Tha 2nd verse also has some real shit ta offer; thumbs up… My Rating: 3.7


10. “Fitted To The Back” Feat. Big Ziggy
This looks like it gon be a cool joint or somethin’; lookin’ forward, especially wit tha feature! >>> Tha Vybe (lol) beat sounds cool and you definitely keepin’ dis shit on ‘n’ poppin’! Glad you know how ta make dem anthems!! Ooh, Big Ziggy comin’ through in a tight way for tha 2nd verse! He finna “lunch [their] ass,” lol! Real nice job from Ziggy as he came through pretty strong! LOL, tha 3rd verse definitely on ‘n’ poppin’, too; good shit to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.5


11. “Devil On My Back” Feat. Calliope Var
Ooh, anotha “back” song, lol. Let’s see what dis ‘bout… >>> Dis DEFINITELY a HUGE anthem!! “Tha devil on my back (my back). That’s why I smoke weed, nigga;” TIGHTNESS!!! Luckily, “tha devil” ain’t even close ta me!! I just keep comin’ through wit my greatness!! Tha 1st verse’s real good; all about dat tight, street shit!! Here comes Mr. Var on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit! Nothin’ wack ‘bout Calliope Var; he’s ALWAYS consistent!! Since day one!! Speakin’ of “devil on my back”, tha “devil” somehow came out tha 1st time Calliope Var called my phone. When he called, I turned tha fan off to hear him and tha fan fell from tha window onto my laptop; WTF? How fucked up!! I dunno why dat happened but Calliope a cool dude, though! My Rating: 4.6


12. “Make It Out This Ghetto” Feat. Snipe
Chopper City Boyz’s Snipe on tha feature; let’s see what’s up… >>> Kinda smooth wit tha beat but I think tha rhymes’ll help. Good rhymes in tha 1st verse although tha hook’s a lil’ ehh… Snipe on tha 2nd verse? Sounds like a focused T.I.; he doin’ a nice job… Tha 3rd verse sounds good; nice comment about “my president black; nothin’ change, yet.” My Rating: 3.6


13. “All In Mine” Feat. Yasmine
>>> Sounds like a different kinda song, on a club tip. Yasmine doin’ a nice job wit her parts as well as you alternatin’. Funny dat it’s so repetitive, lol. My Rating: 3.8


14. “I Like It”
>>> What’s wit tha gay background vocals? This iz just decent/below average for me. My Rating: 2.6


15. “Boss Bitch”
>>> This a lil’ betta; I like how tha title repeats. Wait… iz this even a song? Sounds more like a skit and talkin’… I don’t get dis; can’t rate this as a—oh, at 1:29, tha rappin’ finally came, LMAO? How quick… My Rating: 3.0


16. “They Hatin’” Feat. Lil’ E
>>> Sounds like a movie in tha beginning—almost. Tha beat’s cool; almost reminds me of somethin’ else from a few years ago. Tha hook’s good and it sounds like you’re focused fa tha 1st verse. Nice job on tha 1st verse; what does E have ta offer? Mo of dat good shit! My Rating: 4.2


17. “Smellin’ Myself” Feat. Japain & Tre-8
Ooh, Tre-8 on tha feature but this title? LOL, I think I really gon enjoy dis—I hope! >>> Okay, tha beat iz DEFINITELY official; could be tha best one on here?!? This DEFINITELY iz entertainin’ wit tha 1st verse; GR8 flow!! Even though some of tha lyrics are kinda gay fa me, this iz definitely a HUGE anthem!! LOL @ tha hook; really “smelly”, huh, lol? Tha 2nd verse came through pretty good for a debut; interestin’ shit goin’ on here! How will tha legendary Tre-8 contribute ta dis? If dis iz him on tha 3rd verse, it sounds kinda mainstream for him? “This a $100 blunt, bitch, can’t you smell?” Shit, I’d LUVVVVVVVV ta smell dat shit right now, ya dig?!?!? It almost sounds like Juvenile mumblin’ in tha background, lol. My Rating: 4.6


Overall: For a second, I thought tha Shell song was gonna be on here; I guess it wasn’t out at tha time (since this was uploaded February 2010)? Anyway, you did a NICE job wit dis CD!! You’re a REAL GOOD rapper and you just keepin’ thangz on ‘n’ poppin’ 24/7!! Keep rappin’ and keep droppin’ these HOT mixtapes!!!
