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.

“Goon Intro”
Let’s
hear it! For 3:12, it has ta be a
song! >>> DJ M6 startin’ off wit an intro; feelin’ tha good attitude.
Shit yea, “get some of dat kush and roll up!” :tu For some reason, I guess dat
mood I had durin’ tha Crescent City Radio dayz, Da Goonz put me in a good mood,
’08 style! Glad ta hear some ’10 shit from y’all; sounds pretty good on this
decent beat. It’s all about some good N.O. music, here; nice, consistent
rhymes, in a way. Tha 2nd Goon dat raps sounds good, too, wit tha
N.O. feel. My Rating: 4.0
02.
“Barry White”
Let’s
see dis… >>> Feelin’ tha beat start, as it emerged ta tha rappin’. Oh,
I hear some “Barry White” sample in tha beat sounds; interestin’, this time.
Good rappin’, consistently, throughout this beat; y’all keep shit poppin’ and
interestin’. Tha hook sounds good fa a mysterious voice, too. My Rating: 4.1
03.
“Come N Get It” Feat. K. Gates
K.
Gates just followed me on Twitter;
that was a surprise! Also, I got a shirt from my boy Jimmy The DJ dat says,
“’80s Babies,” and his name’s on it. I’m lookin’ forward ta dis; let’s see what
y’all got!! >>> Feelin’ tha start, here; Playaz Circle perspective, a lil’? Good
job wit tha catchy hook, street style! Good job wit tha 1st verse;
“hustle” quality at its finest! More of y’all on tha 2nd verse? I
guess K. Gates was only on tha hook? I wonder how he found out about me? Anyway,
mo good shit from y’all, once again. My
Rating: 4.4

Goon Radio 1
Looks
like a skit… >>> Shit yea, let’s hear what y’all got goin’ on…! Sounds
good fa some promotion, via tha “radio”, lol. Keep tha grind goin’!! My Rating: N/A
05.
“Think It’s A Game” Feat. Franchise Teif
Looks
like anotha tight collaboration! >>> Kinda scared from tha beginning…
Ooh, it picked up a whole lot once tha hook came in; feelin’ tha singin’ and
content ova dis Vybe beat. Tha 1st verse sounds good; feelin’ these
rhymes wit tha “front door” and how y’all keep it gangsta! Can just imagine one
day, Alexia interviewin’ y’all fa her “Ya
Herd?!”; dat would be interestin’!! Then, y’all would get hit wit her, “aww
man, they are so good!” :) Good job
wit tha 2nd verse; tight, catchy rhymes, here! My Rating: 4.3
06.
“Gettin’ It In” Feat. YF Banga
Anotha collab! >>> Tight beat intro; slowly gainin’ anticipation through each track! Tha hook’s cool; y’all keepin’ shit on ‘n’ poppin’, ya dig? Lookin’ forward ta finally get y’all on tha radio! Nice job wit tha 1st verse; keepin’ shit consistent, lol, I always say tha same shit ‘cause consistency iz consistency, lol! Sounds like a newbie on tha 2nd verse? Must be YF—he almost sounds like Konfo, in a way; thumbs up… Nice job wit his street shit, here! My Rating: 4.4

“Blow This Money” Feat. Keith Jacobs
Think
I heard Keith Jacobs before; let’s see how tha collaboration turns out!
>>> Oh, he’s a singer… For some reason, I’m not too distracted wit tha
singers on this review; I usually dislike them on other people’s CDs, easily.
Tha rhymes are decent fa me, here; a lil’ on tha mainstream side… My Rating: 3.7
08.
Piff, Dick & Rosé
>>>
ROFL, this iz so short and lol @ tha short title ta basically say it all! My Rating: N/A
09.
“No Swagg”
Ooh,
lol, speakin’ of Alexia, goin’ way
back ta October 2008 when I found this song on Boxden. I almost forgot about
this song fa a second, lol. LOL, I had some mainstream sources back then;
completely different, evolved world I live in, now, lol. One of tha 1st
places I went wit Alexia was this hotel to get some Practicum hours for college.
They were shooting a scene to a movie (don’t think it came out, yet?) up here
in tha city of Northeast PA and I helped hand them stuff, here and there. As
for tha song, originally known as just “Swag”, I think this iz a better title
and it’s an okay, original-soundin’ song. When I played it on my iPod wit
Alexia, I remember sayin’, “even though I’m, like, tha only one that has this
song, I know it’ll go down as a memory,” and yes, it did! Who would’ve thought
almost three years later, I’d review it and it would appear on a 2010 CD of
yours? Regular rhymes on tha 1st verse but tha hook’s pretty catchy;
a good “swag” song before I started ta hate
tha term. Tha 2nd verse ain’t bad but tha 3rd verse’s a
lil’ betta, “Goon” style, lol! My
Current Rating: 4.2
10.
“Switch My Hustle”
I
like dis title; let’s keep it goin’! >>> Feelin’ this smooth vibe; I
like tha slower-delivered rhymes from y’all, too. LOL, everything “Goon” goin’ on, here, lol. Tha hook sounds cool; really
likin’ tha computer-styled voice! Definitely
feelin’ these interestin’ rhymes, to tha fullest! Tha rest of dis shit iz good,
too; y’all always got my interest,
here!! My Rating: 4.2
11.
Goon Radio 2
LOL,
anotha one? Let’s see… >>> “Money investment” style, lol. I’m likin’
how y’all ‘started’. What about Vol. 1? Would like ta hear dat… Thumbs up ta
bein’ “gumbo” and “everything,” ya dig? My
Rating: N/A
½time: Fa only eight songs, I’m
definitely feelin’ what y’all got, here! A 4.2-rated CD, currently; keep shit up!! Y’all got my attention!!
12.
“Goon In, Goon Out”
Interestin’
title, here! >>> Kinda wasn’t sure of tha beginning wit tha beat but
when I hear y’all rappin’, it’s real
consistent, at a nice pace! Ooh, tha
hook’s real catchy wit dis catchy-ass
title!! Thumbs up fa these good songs, only clockin’ at two minutes long! My Rating: 4.5
13.
“Hold Up, Hold Up”
>>>
Damn, anotha really short song, lol. Tha beat’s nice and Southern and y’all almost sound like Pimp C wit tha voice,
here, lol. I’m likin’ tha “smokin’” shit; good job, here… Fa only, like, one
verse, good job! My Rating: 4.1
14.
“Destiny”
Let’s
hear dis. >>> ROFL, what’s up wit dis intro? Likin’ dat loud voice,
lol! I think dat sounds like Tupac? This ain’t dat bad of a song; I like dis
but not as much as a lot of tha other songs on here. Wait a second, tha rhymes
are startin’ ta become consistent; good shit! Wow, I guess waitin’ helps? LOL,
good shit! “Ya herds me;” Alexia!!! LOL! Again, y’all caught my attention! My
Rating: 4.1
15.
“All About It” Feat. LG & Franchise Teif
Let’s
hear dis, too, lol. >>> Ooh, nice beat intro! Lookin’ forward ta
hearin’ dis!! Tha rhymes are good, a lil’ mainstream wit how they sound… I like
how tha hook sounds wit this singin’; I think this iz 3-for-3 wit tha sung
hooks! Nice job; good collaboration! Tha 2nd verse has a good sense
of combinin’ people’s names through rhymes; feelin’ it! My Rating: 4.2
16.
“Back Of The Lexus”
LOL,
tha title has “Lexus” in it, a somewhat-affiliated name of Alexia, lol; how
much more Alexia’d will this review become? :tu >>> A lil’ smoother
wit tha beat, here; kinda soundin’ like some East Coast-type shit. Tha hook
sounds good; I like tha lyrics, between tha “smokin’” and tha vision of bein’
in a car. Tha 1st verse sounds like tha flow iz hella catchy! Good
job wit all these combinations, makin’ tha beat become listenable fa me! Tha
rest of dis ain’t too bad, but I’m still likin’ tha picture I have in my head
of listenin’ ta dis joint! My Rating: 4.2
17.
Goon Radio 3
LOL,
anotha one! >>> Yea, I agree wit y’all bein’ “hot” (tight) wit dis
shit! LOL @ tha J-Kwon “Hood Hop” beat in tha background; good choice! Damn,
dis went by quick. My Rating: N/A
18.
“Where They Do That” Feat. Dee-Low
If
there was an “At” in tha title, I would’ve been like, “lol, anotha ‘Where They
Do That At’ title,” lol? Lookin’ forward to tha collaboration! >>>
This ain’t too bad; I can trust it. Kinda losin’ interest wit some of tha
lyrics, as they’re kinda typical. This could’ve been a lil’ betta but it’s
still tolerable… My Rating: 3.6
19.
“Da Hood”
Looks
like a good title; it even has your “Da” in tha title, lol. Let’s see what
y’all gon bring here! >>> Sounds like some Big Boot Radio music dat
sounds old; likin’ dis catchiness in tha hook! I’m likin’ tha better content in tha 1st
verse wit tha somewhat-catchy flow, too; good job, bruhs (lol). Damn, dat hook (lol)’s pretty addictive!!! Good
job wit dis shit, ya heard me? My
Rating: 4.3
20.
“Niggas & Bitches Know”
Let’s
see what we all “know”, lol. >>> Sounds like a regular, decent song. A
lil’ catchy wit tha hook; thumbs up wit how y’all comin’ through wit dis. Tha 2nd
verse almost sounded like Curren$y, at first, lol; you know what it iz! My Rating: 3.9
21.
Goon Outro
LOL,
not long enough fa a song? Lemme see… >>> Sounds interestin’ fa an
outro, here. Good disclaimer, in a way. Good “roll dis kush,” once again, too! My Rating: N/A
22.
“Fuck Boy”
A
bonus song? Let’s see… >>> Almost sound like The Alchemist on tha beat
tag in tha beginning? I think dat was him; lol, how many years later? Like, six years since I heard dat tag, lol!
Even though he from New York,
it sounds interestin’ wit y’all on this beat; you know I liked Alchemist as a
producer since I first heard him. Good job wit how y’all comin’ through wit dis
street shit! My Rating: 4.0
Overall: Real glad y’all put a CD out, whether this iz tha 1st or
2nd time! I definitely
deserved ta have dis (well, only an mp3, currently); good job and keep up tha great work!!
