Review #882: Jimi Burke "Top 5: Dead Or Alive Vol. 5"

Reviewed on 3.23.2011 (Review #882)


My next review for today iz from 2009; Jimi Burke “Top 5: Dead Or Alive Vol. 5; how will it go? For some reason, I guess ‘cause there’s 26 songs on here and I only know him off of one, I don’t think I’ll be anticipated fa dis. Start Time: 11:59 AM | End Time: 12:27 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. “Top 5: Dead Or Alive”
>>> Actually, tha beat you chose to rap on, here, sounds nice wit tha Jadakiss sample. Tha rhymes are good, here; thumbs up ta you doin’ a nice job on a track like dis. My Rating: 4.1


02. “Murderer”
>>> A lil’ thumbs down fa Rihanna bein’ on this and tha sample. Tha rappin’ ain’t too bad… Deduction for Rihanna’s chorus bein’ in this. My Rating: 2.5


03. “Birds Flyin’ High” Feat. Spi
>>> Horrible intro wit tha gay sample/beat. I don’t have much ta say about dis… My Rating: 2.3


04. “Our Love Song” Feat. K-Wish
>>> I prolly won’t last more than 30 seconds wit dis; pathetic start. You sound a lil’ betta on dis but tha song, overall, ain’t betta than tha previous two, smh. My Rating: 2.0


05. “She Fine”
>>> Gucci Mane gets me a lil’ scared ta hear dis… Dis iz betta than tha last three songs, although some of tha shit spit, here, sounds gay. My Rating: 2.6


06. “My Type” Feat. Keyz
>>> Beat sounds betta… or does it? Neva mind, forget I said dat ‘cause tha beginning’s hella gay. You’re decent wit what you’re comin’ wit… My Rating: 1.4


07. “Drop Dat (Whoop Da Dee Dupe)”
>>> This iz more normal, finally. Some of tha lyrics are gay fa me, here, but overall, a lil’ betta… My Rating: 3.0


08. “I See U Hatin’” Feat. Shawt
>>> Thought I’d be pretty unanticipated for tha beginning but this iz betta; thumbs up fa Shawt helpin’ you out, especially on this pretty-good hook. Tha 2nd verse has gay lyrics, so dat’s a deduction, smh; you can’t get a lead? My Rating: 3.2


09. “Do My Lil’ Dance” Feat. Wodie
>>> Wodie beat; familiar hook? Thought I just heard dis? Yea, only wit different featured artists. Even though this sounds a lil’ betta, I didn’t rate it too high ‘cause I’m not big about tha “dancin’” songs… My Rating: 2.8


10. “I Do This” Feat. Lil’ Lou
A longer length? >>> Ugh, a Rock beat? Really not likin’ tha beat sound; what are we in 2007? It’s not “Party Like A Rockstar” dayz, smh. Not bad wit tha rappin’… My Rating: 2.6


11. “Yes We Can”
>>> SMDH @ tha Obama beginning!!! Aren’t you ROFL by now wit him? I guess by last year, he sounds a lil’ outdated. Either way, I think it’s cheesy ‘cause this iz so stereotypical to what people like. My Rating: 2.7


12. “Be True”
>>> LOL @ tha really short songs, all of a sudden. Tha beat’s betta, here, and you have betta rhymes, too. My Rating: 3.3


13. “Let’s Talk About It”
>>> Not really likin’ tha intro but I do like tha beat start, a lil’. Tha hook ain’t too bad…; sounds like you have some listenable rhymes, here. My Rating: 3.1


½time: I was right: only a 2.7-rated CD, currently.


14. “Body Bag”
>>> I knew this sounded like a jacked beat; a lil’ too familiar for me ta take serious. At least this content’s a lil’ betta… My Rating: 2.8


15. “16 Zones”
Anotha snippet afta tha “Yes We Can”. >>> Betta rappin’ wit tha rapid rhymes; good job. My Rating: 3.5


16. “Yeah”
Anotha snippet, lol? >>> I guess tha snippets are good ‘cause this iz pretty good, too. My Rating: 3.4


17. “I Be Hustlin’”
>>> LOL @ this song and this topic; I like how you handle tha hook. LOL @ tha cliché lines in tha beginning of tha 1st verse; anymore cliché shit you got, lol? Good rhymes, acceptable song. My Rating: 3.1


18. “Urban Decay”
Snippet. >>> What’s wit tha fade-in intro? Guess it was ‘cause it’s a ‘snippet’? Just like tha otha snippets, this iz good wit tha content and rhymes. My Rating: 3.3


19. “Ain’t Nobody”
Anotha snippet, lol? >>> ROFL @ tha Lil’ Wayne “I’m Me” sample; I can only rofl… You said you “got Lil’ One Da Ryder” on dis? I guess maybe in tha full version but good connection. As far as tha song, sounds good wit your anger/attitude. My Rating: 3.7


20. “Underrated” Feat. Na’Tee
Good collaboration and not a snippet, lol. >>> Tha hook’s nice, as well as this beat; finally, a hot song from you. You doin’ a nice job wit these rhymes, keepin’ it consistent! Na’Tee sounds good although she’s betta, now, lol. My Rating: 3.9


21. “Outta This World” Feat. T-Doe
>>> Time ta go backwards, smh. This ain’t as bad as some of tha shit on here. Also, your rhymes are pretty good, too. Wit tha T-Doe dude, sounds like he fits wit you as far as a connection; not bad… My Rating: 2.8


22. “It’s On U” Feat. Na’Tee
Anotha collab wit Na’Tee! >>> Ooh, I’m likin’ tha fast, Hurricane Chris-type vibe, here! Definitely a plus from Na’Tee on tha hook, as well as you joinin’, too! She sounds good on tha 1st verse; kickin’ ass to tha fullest, lol! LOL, gotta luv how she said, “shiiid.” :tu You sound good wit your club-related rhymes, here; thumbs up. My Rating: 4.2


23. “Can’t Get U Out My Mind” Feat. Keyz
>>> Wodie doin’ tha beat. Tha hook ain’t for me wit how it sounds; you’re aight wit what you got goin’ on, here. My Rating: 2.7


24. “Rewind My Heart”
>>> Yucky sample goin’ on here…; nothin’ interestin’ fa me. My Rating: 1.8


25. “Find A Way Out” Feat. Phil & Wodie
“Away” iz two words, smh. >>> Wodie beat; likin’ tha singin’ goin’ on in tha hook although not tha gay voice sample outta nowhere. This ain’t too bad for a song, overall; Wodie collaboratin’ on tha rappin’s a good idea, too. My Rating: 3.6


26. “By Ur Side” Feat. Roc Hard
>>> Endin’ it wit an original production from Wodie; let’s see what y’all got here… Tha hook’s good, for tha homies. Tha rhymes are decent fa me… LOL @ all this ‘luv’ fa tha homies; I’m slowly experiencin’ this, but I still think it’s odd ta hear all dis ‘luv’. Good collaboration wit Roc Hard, too; there’s a lot of y’all out there in tha Rap world, which iz somewhat-good. My Rating: 3.3


Overall: Shitty beginning but started ta get good/decent durin’ tha 2nd ½…
