Keepin’
tha Monsta Ink reviewz comin’, this next one’s fa Monsta, himself; ‘preciate tha add on Facebook a month or two ago!
:tu Here’s my review for his “40 Days & Fourty Knights” CD! Start Time: 12:16 PM | End Time: 12:52 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.
“Alone”
>>>
Phone call leadin’ into a somewhat-cool beat start. I dunno about dis start;
sounds a lil’ like Lauryn Hill, at first? Tha rhymes are a lil’ interestin’… My Rating: 3.6
02.
Day 1
>>>
It’s “4-09-2010”? Good intro… LOL, I thought this was gonna be a song; feelin’
tha lil’ skit you got, here. You sound a lil’ high or somethin’, which I’ll
give a props to. My Rating: N/A
03.
“Last Supper”
“Super”?
>>> You prolly mean “Supper”,
lol? Somewhat-smooth, here; feelin’ this, a lil’ bit. Basically, a
straight-through set of rhymes, which iz not bad. My Rating: 3.5
04.
“Cocaine Musik”
>>>
LOL @ tha loud start! :rofl I like tha “dis dat shit” part in tha beginning; reminds me of somethin’ kush iz
around! You have some interestin’ rhymes, here; likin’ tha “you sellin’ weed by
tha…” part, includin’ tha Monsta-character voice. Thumbs up fa keepin’ shit
interestin’ wit dis “cocaine musik”! Damn, lots of rhymes you got, here! My Rating: 3.9
05.
“BMF (Remix)” Feat. Needy Nee & Breadrick
Interestin’
collaboration; let’s see tha comeback for Needy and what this otha dude’s
about! >>> For a jacked beat, this iz tha best-soundin’ shit on here,
currently!! Definitely luv how you
come through on tha hook; gotta luv it!!! Thumbs up fa tha good shit fa tha
hood on tha 1st verse, doin’ ya thang fa G-Lane! Ooh, Needy’s got
some trap-type shit, here, on tha 2nd verse; definitely good fa dis
track! Breadrick’s on tha 3rd verse and he sounds like a regular
rapper wit a regular voice. However, I’m likin’ dat he blends in wit tha
content, here, wit tha trap shit! My
Rating: 4.4
06.
“Mention My Name” Feat. Stacy Malibu & Live Boy Scooter
Good
title and collaboration, it gon look like! >>> LOL @ tha Jeezy and tha
hook sounds good… Stacy’s on tha 1st verse, soundin’ a lil’ smooth
fa a track like dis. Ooh, she’s addin’ an attitude; I guess she was meant fa
dis track, lol! Here’s tha 2nd verse… You’re comin’ through wit some
catchy shit, ya dig? LOL @ tha “Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus” part. What does
dis Scooter dude have ta offer? Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ him, G-Lane style…
Shit yea, definitely likin’ what he
bringin’, especially how he comes through on tha track! Definitely tha best one on this song; thumbs up, bruh! My Rating: 4.1
07.
“Scoring” Feat. Lt. 00, F.E.D. & Needy Nee
Let’s
keep tha collaborations comin’!! >>> Likin’ tha beat you picked, here;
thumbs up on dis shit! I like tha theme of “scoring,” too; dumb shit! Good job
wit tha 1st verse, too; you know
it’s all about maintainin’! Tha hook’s cool; y’all know how ta make some
good-ass hooks, at times! Here’s tha Lt., lol, on tha 2nd verse,
comin’ through wit good rhymes and a good voice! Feelin’ tha attitude and what
he bringin’ to tha table! Tha 3rd verse starts wit F.E.D.? Needy
must be on tha 2nd ½ of it…; likin’ tha shit he bringin’ to tha
table, too! LOL, gotta save Needy fa tha end; good mix, too! My Rating: 4.3
08.
Kan’t Xplain It
LOL
@ this spellin’! >>> LOL, it’s a skit, bitchy-perspective style, lol. My Rating: N/A
09.
“She Don’t Like Me” Feat. Boywonda
Iz
dat a real feature? >>> Looks like tha producer from “A Milli”? Catchy
hook, here, when it comes ta bitchy side of tha females. Not too inta tha
“Facebook” start ta tha 1st verse; you’ll prolly regret it a ½
decade from now. Kinda dry on tha 1st verse wit tha flow, so I dunno
how interested I’m inta dis… Tha 2nd verse must be tha Boywonda
dude, soundin’ a lil’ young? Not bad… My
Rating: 3.4
10.
“LaLaLa” Feat. Grits Gutta
>>>
LOL @ tha ATC intro; too bad tha beat wasn’t tha actual beat but then again,
I’m likin’ this Hip-Hop twist in tha beat, Southern vs. Techno style! Tha 1st
verse sounds good wit tha beat; nice mix! Tha 2nd verse sounds good,
too; nice job collaboratin’! Ooh, tha attitude’s growin’ in tha voice; dumb
shit, especially tha progressin’ rhymes!!! My
Rating: 4.1
11.
“Crushed My Heart”
>>>
LOL, a skit in tha beginning, here. Oh no, a wack beat start… Damn, long-ass
intro? Oh, this beat; not too wack
but then again, it’s not anything I’d go crazy about… Your rappin’ on dis
beat’s pretty good, in a way; kinda interested and not, at tha same time, lol. My Rating: 3.1
12.
“Mary Jane” Feat. Live Boy Scooter & Grits Gutta
>>>
Ooh, you gettin’ me in tha mood wit tha smokin’ beginning! Ooh, soundin’-like-you’re-high vocals!!
Thumbs up ta tha hook; definitely a
plus!! Thumbs up fa this bein’ long, too, even though it could be a lil’
boring, too… Tha 2nd verse sounds betta, especially startin’ off wit
“my eyez bloody red!” :tu Damn, definitely
enjoyin’ all these weed-related rhymes! Tha 3rd verse iz a lil’ on
tha high-type wit tha way tha vocals are delivered; good job, here! My Rating: 4.4
13.
Friday, May 7
LOL…
>>> Ooh, a number given out, right there! Don’t know tha dude on tha
voicemail but thumbs up fa havin’ him check-in. My Rating: N/A
½time: 3.9-rated CD, currently;
pretty-good shit, Monsta.
14.
“Who Am I”
>>>
LOL @ tha start bein’ tha “and he got killed” from tha end of tha voicemail,
which was also at tha end of tha skit! I’m not too much inta this beat and this
style ain’t really fa me…; your rhymes are aight. My Rating: 2.7
15.
“Neva Happened” Feat. Déjà Vu
>>>
Anotha sour-soundin’ beat fa me… Not really inta dis one, either; I guess this
feature iz different from Daja Vu
(sp?), who iz a rapper from Baton
Rouge. Tha singin’ on tha hook ain’t anything special
fa me, either… My Rating: 2.5
16.
The Black Knight Speaks
>>>
Nice attitude in tha voice, lol; anti-“hated!” My Rating: N/A
17.
“Typical Wednesday”
>>>
Damn, tha beats are goin’ downhill… Rhymes are a lil’ boring; can’t say much
about this… My Rating: 2.4
18.
First Saved Message
>>>
Interestin’, but sounds like trouble… My
Rating: N/A
19.
“Window Seat”
>>>
Of course, a good original song. But, how will it sound wit rappin’ on it?
Decent, but not that special fa me. I even like how you sing a lil’ on tha
hook, too, lol. Overall, I dunno… My
Rating: 2.9
20.
“Think Of Me” Feat. Déjà Vu & Stacy Malibu
>>>
Not likin’ dis sound—well, tha beat ain’t too bad… Your rappin’ iz not bad,
here. LOL @ Stacy wit tha phone call-type of rappin’; that’s interestin’, and
she sounds good, too! My Rating: 3.2
21.
“Close But No Cigar”
LOL
@ a cliché sayin’ for a title; that’s a lil’ different. >>> LOL @ tha
voicemail, once again, for tha intro. For some reason, wit you rappin’ on dis,
it gives me a Curren$y feel. Gettin’ in tha mood wit “(pullin’ your) pants
down,” here, lol? At least tha rhymes are descriptive ‘cause when tha songs are
about tha girls, they gotta be
descriptive and, sometimes, X-rated fa me ta like more. My Rating: 3.2
22.
SMH; LMFAO
LOL
@ this title! >>> Oh no, a skit/phone call, lol! WTH?!? LOL!
Mysterious girl voices! :rofl My Rating:
N/A
23.
“Camera Phones” Feat. Nonsense
I
dunno about what dis gon turn out ta be… >>> Not too interested in tha
beat start; tha hook now sounds like
50 Cent, lol. Monsta, you sound like a bunch of different rappers/people at
different times, lol. Tha rappin’ sounds a lil’ East Coastish, here; you gon
“make (someone’s) main chick turn dyke”? ROFL, what’s up wit dat? Tha 2nd
verse ain’t too bad… My Rating: 2.8
24.
“Lie To Me” Feat. Bookie Blak
LOL,
this featured dude rhymes wit Mookie Blakk; how’d dat come about, lol?
>>> Still keepin’ tha East Coast-soundin’ jointz goin’… Tha rhymes are
a lil’ catchy in tha 1st verse, here… Tha 2nd verse ain’t
too bad; damn, this iz too East Coast
wit dis beat… My Rating: 2.9
25.
Real Talk
>>>
Oh no, anotha skit, lol! It sounds like Beezy Bird wit how they said, “dawg,”
lol. Gotta feel this instant talkin’; how does it come about? LOL, how do
things become important? My Rating: N/A
26.
“Soldiers For Hire” Feat. Shenny & Pain
Not
really interested in what dis looks like so I dunno what ta expect.
>>> Tha beat sounds interestin’…; tha 1st verse iz a lil’
on tha decent side wit tha slow flow. When you say, “hire,” it almost sounds
like, “higher,” but I think you got this right since you have a better
understanding of what this title means. Tha 2nd verse must be dat
dude dat was previously on tha phone? Sounds a lil’ like a Beezy Bird-type
flow; good shit… Tha 3rd verse ain’t bad, either… My Rating: 3.6
27.
“40 Days & Fourty Knights (Freestyle)”
Ending
it wit tha title track, freestyle style, lol! >>> Intro sounds like
some slow, Sade-type remix. Tha rappin’ sounds like a typical Wayne/Drake flow?
Why does dat have ta be tha kinda shit when people think of freestyles?
:confused You should have more energy in dis, especially since it’s a ‘freestyle’.
Also, why iz this so long? My Rating: 2.4
Overall: Damn, I thought this was
gonna maintain ta be betta… I guess it was tha East Coast-soundin’ shit dat
disappointed me, a lil’. Also, I dunno if you were high or aggravated, but you
needed a lil’ more energy, at times, too. Surprised Slaughterman’s 10-song CD
was statistically betta than this when I like you betta.
