Review #812: EQ "Middle Finggaz Up Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 1.20.2011 (Review #812)


Next up, my review for EQ “Middle Finggaz Up Vol. 1”! I also think this shit’s from ’09? Not too sure… Start Time: 6:17 PM | End Time: 7:03 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
>>> Glad you talkin’ in this beginning, ya dig? You got shit on lock! Had ta nominate you on my 3rd annual Louisiana Awards! My Rating: N/A


02. “Ballin’”
>>> SMH, I thought this was fulla original production? I guess I’m feelin’ how you comin’ through wit tha rappin’. My Rating: 3.7


03. “Middle Fingers Up”
>>> Sounds betta, regardless of what this actually iz. My Rating: 3.8


04. “Pop, Lock & Drop It (Freestyle)”
>>> SMH @ tha beat tag on this. Nothin’ much ta say ‘bout dis… My Rating: 2.6


05. “In Da Club” Feat. Indough & Mr. Redeyez
Good thing there’s actual features! >>> This ain’t too bad; decent… Let’s hear how tha features sound… A lil’ more catchier wit tha punchlines… I’m likin’ how tha 3rd verse sounds. My Rating: 3.9


06. “Everytime They C Me”
>>> “Middle Finger Records”? Thanx for tha info! For this song, it’s decent/above average. Sounds like you have a good perspective when it comes ta tha “purple weed.” My Rating: 3.8


07. “You Know I’m Fly”
>>> Tha beat’s cool (if it’s original) and tha shit you spittin’ on this; dumb shit! All about feelin’ good wit dem good-ass drugs, lol! My Rating: 4.3


08. “Rock Yo Hips” Feat. Rodi, Mr. Redeyez & Ms. V
Maybe this mixtape’s from ’07 ‘cause there’s so many ‘06/’07 beats? >>> Because tha beat chosen lacks interest fa me, I dunno how much I’ll say ‘bout dis. You comin’ through in a cool way, though, Q. Two females and Mr. Redeyez teamin’ up on dis; feelin’ how Redeyez & V comin’ through on this. My Rating: 3.5


09. “Skit #2” Feat. Yella Boi
>>> Sounds like someone from Philly or somethin’; what’s this? Almost sounds like reversed talkin’, too, lol. Sounds random but I like all tha “bruh” parts; good, whoeva dis iz. Tha rappin’ was pretty good fa what it was—will judge it good. BTW, who dis on tha skit wit you? My Rating: 4.4


10. “Bitch In Tha Back” Feat. Yella Boi
>>> Finally, somethin’ real interestin’ (plus, tha skit from before)!! Tha beat’s fire and even though tha hook iz cliché, it sounds real hot wit dis beat!!! Iz Yella Boi tha dude from tha skit? Feel confident about it ta where I gon put him on tha feature of tha skit!! Good job wit tha verses, too; great collab!! My Rating: 4.7


11. “That’s Him”
>>> This ain’t too bad… Some of tha shit you got goin’ on here iz catchy. Tha hook’s pretty catchy, too. My Rating: 3.8


12. “You Got Me” Feat. Nya
>>> Doesn’t sound like anything fa me. “Swag like Madonna;” I’ll give dat line a plus. For a song like dis, tha hook ain’t too bad; even sounds like somethin’ from tha past, too. My Rating: 3.1


½time: A 3.8-rated CD, so far; keep it goin’!


13. “Can’t Tell Me” w/Indough
>>> I’m likin’ how dis sounds; anotha hot beat, whateva it iz! Tha hook’s catchy; feelin’ how you bringin’ shit to tha table here! Good job bringin’ Indough on tha track, too; he doin’ tha damn thang once again! Dumb shit, right here, to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.5


14. “Freak Hoe” Feat. EST
Who’s EST? That’s my time zone, lol! >>> Ooh, “Middle Finger Productions”; glad you showin’ off your production skillz here, ya dig? Consistent, Southern shit right here, regardless of what’s goin’ on! My Rating: 4.2


15. “Yes” Feat. Indough
”Yes” at Indough bein’ on tha feature once again! >>> Sounds consistent/aight… Tha hook’s somewhat catchy. I like how it’s on a smokin’ tip, at least. My Rating: 4.0


16. “I’m Gon Make It” Feat. Taliaferro, Ebony & Hobo
>>> Sounds like a beat durin’ tha bad times, whateva it was. Bad anticipation and tha rappin’ ain’t bad. Tha rhymes sound a lil’ betta toward tha near-end of tha song. My Rating: 2.7


17. Skit #3
Uh oh!! >>> Too bad it’s, like, 5x shorter. Interestin’ “in-tha-rain” shit, lol. My Rating: N/A


18. “Jungle”
An official song from you, since it says, “EQ – Jungle”, on tha info? >>> Not really interested in tha plain beat and tha rappin’ ain’t dat bad. Some of tha rappin’s gettin’ consistent toward tha end. My Rating: 3.4


19. “I’m Coo” Feat. Flamboyant
>>> Tha beat’s a lil’ catchier than tha last song. I’m feelin’ tha 1st verse as well as tha hook; “coo” shit, lol. Tha 2nd verse has some catchy shit; lol at it, sometimes! My Rating: 4.3


20. “Take You Home”
>>> SMH @ tha 5:36 length; just makes me wanna lose interest and skip! Nothin’ really interestin’ here… Not really into tha somewhat-fake hook, too. My Rating: 2.3


21. “It’s Me”
>>> Thought this was a betta, more original beat but because there’s not much in tha beginning sound, I didn’t realize what it was at first, lol. Good rhymes this time… My Rating: 3.6


22. “Get Money” Feat. Mr. Redeyez
I dunno why I got anticipation fa dis; let’s see… >>> Tha hook’s somewhat catchy and tha beat helps this track out. I’m likin’ how you collaborated wit Redeyez once again! Tha rest flows good, too. My Rating: 4.1


23. “Dig A Hole”
SMH… >>> When you rap on this, it doesn’t sound like a typical ‘smh’ attitude. My Rating: 3.5


24. Outro
>>> Ooh, sounds like a good outro wit tha near-soundin’ smokin’ sounds! I guess this iz “Middle Fingers Up Vol. 1” instead of “Middle Fingers Up!!! (Tha Mixtape)”. ‘Preciate you doin’ ya thang, my boy! Keep ‘em comin’!! My Rating: N/A


25. “They Hatin’ On Me” (Indough Feat. Flamboyant & Young Blood)
I think I got tha ID correct; let’s hear it! >>> Tha beat’s pretty catchy. I dunno why but when tha hook comes on, it sounds familiar…; it’s pretty tight, regardless! Feelin’ tha catchiness… Thumbs up ta tha tri, or should I say, quad-combo! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: I was feelin’ this… ‘Preciate you addin’ me on Facebook!
