Review #753: DJ 5150 & Magnolia Boyz "The Power And The Money"

Reviewed on 12.24.2010 (Review #753)


Tha 6th review I have for today iz DJ 5150 & Magnolia Boyz “The Power And The Money, N.O. style! Start Time: 6:30 PM | End Time: 7:42 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
>>> Sounds good for an intro; quite anticipatin’! My Rating: N/A


02. “Power & Money” Feat. Lil’ Wayne & Magnolia Chop
>>> I’m likin’ tha crazy intro and Magnolia Chop doin’ his thang on tha hook! Tha 1st verse has a good feel to it; good shit goin’ on here! “1-800-MAGNOLIA;” you know what it iz, lol! Not bad on Lil’ Wayne’s contribution on dis song, too. He needs to go back to his Louisiana roots, though! We’re talkin’ “Get Something” and before! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Money & The Power” Feat. Birdman
LOL, tha title looks flipped from tha last one, lol… >>> Birdman doin’ a not-so-bad job here on tha 1st verse. His shit sounds betta than Lil’ Wayne’s, surprisingly. I like how he keeps it street in tha rhymes and not on a Pop level. Tha hook’s pretty nice, too; good shit! Tha 2nd veres sounds pretty nice; almost sounds like West Coast shit, in a good way. My Rating: 4.3


04. “Fuck You” Feat. B.G. & Magnolia Chop
Since Magnolia Chop’s on tha feature, I’ll include him on tha feature to #2; didn’t realize he wasn’t a part of tha Magnolia Boyz. >>> Sounds like a good intro wit a hot beat! What a to-tha-point hook, lol! It sounds like I heard it before but I gon picture dat I ain’t heard it before. This iz some tight street shit here! Nothin’ but consistency in tha rhymes and tha good content! Tha streets must REALLY luv dis shit! Here’s B.G. on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit his 504-type shit; good, consistent shit once again! Tha 3rd verse iz pretty nice here wit tha gutta shit goin’ on; no Magnolia Chop, yet? LOL, Magnolia Chop’s randomly on tha 4th verse, soundin’ kinda weird wit tha voice this time, unfortunately. My Rating: 4.4


05. “Play With My Paper” Feat. Wacko & Magnolia Chop
Dis should be pretty ti-ight!! >>> Nice hook; now, Magnolia Chop sounds real tight wit his voice here! DEFINITELY good content; 100% PURE street shit!!! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good; definitely tight shit goin’ on here! I like tha random “bruh” part in tha verse, too; good shit. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin’ pretty nice from both dudes, doin’ tha damn thang! My Rating: 4.5


06. “Throw Money”
Funny how every title has ta actually do wit tha title; interestin’… >>> At least y’all ain’t fake rappers talkin’ ‘bout “money, money, money, money, money” this, ya dig? Tha hook ain’t too bad and tha beat goes pretty good wit dis. Tha 1st verse has some good street shit at its finest; thumbs up… Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, either… Tha 3rd verse sounds like it goes good on tha beat… Nice acapella at tha end. My Rating: 4.1


07. “Job Done”
>>> Good “huh bruh” shit in tha beginning; let’s get it. Sounds like tha kinda shit I’d hear from Calliope Var; good shit for tha hook. Tha 1st verse iz keepin’ thangz consistent like tha last song… Tha 2nd verse’s pretty nice, too. “Nothin’ but dat street shit.” My Rating: 4.2


08. “Raised With Killers” Feat. B.G.
Gutta shit! >>> This iz some tight shit! Dat hook’s definitely gutta to tha bone!! Tha 1st verse’s soundin’ pretty nice wit B.G. doin’ tha damn thang! Tha 2nd verse iz keepin’ dis shit hot; all about tha childhood! Definitely a tight song, overall! Tha 3rd verse even has some pretty-tight shit goin’ on, too! My Rating: 4.4


09. “Hard Times”
>>> Tha beat sounds pretty cool here… Tha hook iz definitely on a street level, also! Definitely good-ass shit again! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, too; good shit y’all got! Not bad on tha 2nd verse, too; feelin’ tha rhymes throughout tha content. My Rating: 4.2


10. “Respect Game”
>>> Feelin’ tha true 504 style here! Good shit in tha 1st verse and tha hook’s definitely some good shit… Tha 2nd verse’s comin’ through wit a good attitude ta deliver dis shit; official right chea! Tha lil’ intermission before tha 3rd verse iz some serious shit, slit-throat style, lol! Tha 3rd verse also keepin’ it G to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3


11. “Real Round Here” Feat. B.G. & Magnolia Chop
Yay, anotha collab! >>> Good phone call in tha beginning; you know what it iz. Magnolia Chop doin’ a good job on tha hook wit B.G.; definitely true shit! Nice 1st verse goin’ on here wit B.G.; talk about consistent shit fa tha streetz!! Good shit goin’ on here in tha 2nd verse. LOL @ tha “you wiggin’ off dem pillz” outta nowhere; good shit and great content! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Pretty consistent CD, ya dig? So far, y’all at 4.3 for tha CD rating!


12. “Same Ol’ Shit” Feat. Wacko & Magnolia Chop
Heard dis last year on Jimmy The DJ’s “Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 3: Point Of No Return”; glad he brought it first. I really liked it at first but it remains decent/pretty good. My Current Rating: 4.5


13. “Blow Something” Feat. Curren$y
Ooh, looks good… >>> Soulful beat confused me at first but this iz DEFINITELY a jam thanx ta Curren$y helpin’ out!! Good shit on tha hook and tha 1st verse from him iz on ‘n’ poppin’, consistently!!! I felt like tha buzz died off in tha 2nd verse. Even though this iz featuring Curren$y, it should’ve been Curren$y featurin’ y’all, lol. My Rating: 4.5


14. “Blinded” Feat. Magnolia Chop
Keepin’ dis shit up, lol. >>> Now this iz in a bad direction. Curren$y saved tha last joint but there’s not much catchiness in tha beat and hook here for me. Tha verses are aight/nothin’ special. My Rating: 2.8


15. “Shake It Up”
>>> Catchy although it sounds odd ta have a streak of street songs and then, turn to female songs. I like that there’s a small element of tha Bounce rhythm in tha beat. Tha lyrics are nothin’ special but it sounds like a good jam, overall. Tha hook sounds like this iz a club anthem or somethin’. My Rating: 3.7


16. “What It Do”
>>> Anotha female song it sounds like—well, more of everything mixed in one for tha hook. This izn’t too bad; let’s see how tha verses go… Not too bad. I guess #14 made my interest go down for some reason… Tha last verse iz catchy wit all tha “-zzard”, “-zzle”, “zzaint” shit added on tha end-lines! My Rating: 3.8


17. “Moving”
>>> Sounds kinda boring wit tha production; why are these songs now four minutes? Okay, tha content’s definitely nice, especially on tha 2nd verse wit tha drug-dealin’ shit!! I gon start feelin’ dis ‘cause of tha consistent content! It’s like, every line sounds like it’s satisfyin’! My Rating: 4.0


18. “Came Too Far”
An “O” missin’ in tha title, lol; gotta know how ta spell! >>> Again, a lil’ boring wit tha production and tha four-minute curse has got me. Good content but boring for a song, overall. My Rating: 3.4


19. “Fuck Da Game Up”
>>> Still not impressed as far as an overall song… Again, good content but tha beat iz weak once again. Damn, an R&B female on tha hook? What iz goin’ on here? My Rating: 2.6


20. “Sacrifice”
>>> Finally, shorter but not that impressive. I do like this female on tha hook ‘cause it has a good, catchy song. Even though tha beat’s, like, New Yorkish, it still sounds pretty good as a song. My Rating: 3.5


21. “Sun Do Shine” Feat. Birdman
>>> Finally, some catchy music! Afta how many songs? Birdman keepin’ things goin’ wit tha catchiness, whether it’s four minutes or not! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty nice wit tha content; good rhymes. Tha 3rd verse iz bringin’ dat West Coast style from one of tha earlier songs back; good shit. My Rating: 4.1


22. “Shine” Feat. Birdman
LOL, anotha “shine” title plus Birdman, lol? >>> Sounds hotter wit a Bounce beat! Good content here, doin’ tha damn thang! Tha beat’s pretty crazy at times; good shit! My Rating: 4.2


23. “R.I.P. Magnolia”
Kinda ironic for dis title ‘cause I’d like ta say, “R.I.P. Magnolia Shorty,” even though this was months before. It’s weird dat it works now; what does it have ta do wit, though? >>> I guess this goes out ta all tha ones dat got murdered. Even though a song I’d have low anticipation for, this iz pretty interestin’ and tha beat’s good. Good job wit what’s goin’ on as far as tha content and verses. My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Pretty good CD although most of dat 2nd ½ really got to me. I dunno why tha boredism came into play…
