Review #739: Lee Banks "Sincerely Yours"

Reviewed on 12.22.2010 (Review #739)




Tha moment I’ve been waitin’ for… Record-setting: *****REVIEW #14***** for today: Lee Banks “Sincerely Yours”! That’s CRAZY!!! I reviewed 14 CDs in ONE day!!! Bus Boy Entertainment in tha buildin’!!! Whatever happens, happens! This’ll prolly hold tha record for tha longest time wit tha review count! Start Time: 11:18 PM | End Time: 11:44 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. “Sincerely Yours (Intro)”
>>> Dis gon be an R&B album? Sounds different but pretty good… My Rating: 3.5


02. “Check (Remix)” Feat. Bobby V
Mr. Valentino on tha feature? Iz this official? >>> Not bad wit Bobby V on tha hook; an okay song but nothin’ bad… Tha verses are aight…; nothin’ mindblowin’. My Rating: 3.4


03. “Lay It Down (Remix)”
I guess it’s not an official feature ‘cause this iz Lloyd’s song… >>> Not too bad on this but what’s wit tha actual hook and tha actual hook? SMH, a lil’ too much givin’ away for me to judge less of you, unfortunately. My Rating: 1.2


04. “Try It Out (Remix)” Feat. Big Bank Black & Kandi
>>> What’s wit dis gay-ass Auto-Tune shit? I know this as “What About U” from 2 Slugz & Derty Red; I don’t even wanna think there’s an original version ‘cause of me airin’ it on my radio show (I don’t air jacked-beat songs). Anyway, I have a loss of interest ‘cause this gay hook. Tha 1st verse ain’t really anything fa me; dislike this “swag” shit. Tha 2nd verse iz REALLY HORRIBLE: tha “swag” shit PLUS gay-ass Auto-Tune shit? Kandi’s randomly here? Haven’t heard her in over 10 years, lol. A good comeback as far as her content but her vocals are a lil’ fucked wit dat stupid-ass Auto-Tune! My Rating: 1.0


05. “Beat It Up (Remix)”
>>> Sorry but I can’t take these stupid original vocals on here; why? Doesn’t even sound like tha kinda shit you’d put out; barely any interest here. My Rating: 1.4


½time: Damn, 2.1 for tha CD rating? Looks like I made an unlucky choice ta have tha record. I’ll eventually, prolly do 15 one day, lol.


06. “Toot It & Boot It (Remix)” Feat. T Mck
Oh no, not dis GAY song!!! >>> Of course, sounds betta wit tha two of y’all on it although I don’t take any of this serious to tha heart. Glad there’s no original vocals, luckily! Bad “Facebook” line; leave tha social networkin’ outta dis! My Rating: 3.3


07. “Dueces (Freestyle)”
“Freestyle”; that’s all you needed ta put in tha other ones (and subtract tha original vocals) and you would’ve been fine. >>> Not bad… Shit, you put tha original hook AND verses, smh? My Rating: 1.3


08. “Be Without You”
>>> R.I.P. to Aaliyah but I don’t get how you get ta chance ta spit on somethin’ like dis? Nothin’ really ta say about tha rhymes… Sounds too soft from all tha “rollin’ on pillz” shit I was used to. Once you go hard, you gotta go harder. Soft iz a startin’ point, not an evolution point. Why are there so many verses on this song? I can picture Young Ready fallin’ inta this trap one day. My Rating: 1.8


09. “Can’t Be Friends (Remix)”
>>> Damn, why are tha lengths gettin’ longer? No interest. Damn… FUCK?!? You KEPT over three minutes of tha original version?!? My Rating: 1.1


10. “I’m Cheating” Feat. T Mck
Do I have ta hear dis? >>> A remake of “Epiphany”? SMH @ tha cockiness on tha hook. I really SMH @ shit like dis ‘cause I get ignored but shit like dis gets acknowledged? C’mon, T Mck, don’t mix Louisiana names and nouns with this non-Louisiana shit! My Rating: 2.7


Overall: Not for me at all. For one, I dunno why this approach came outta nowhere. Two, why were most of tha original version’s parts on tha songs? Three, I could see if you did a Wayne and startin’ freestylin’ on tha tracks, that would be betta.
