Review #898: A.R. "Tree-House (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 3.25.2011 (Review #898)




Keepin’ thangz movin’, my 9th review for today iz Problem Child Entertainment’s A.R., my boy, wit “Tree-House (The Mixtape)”! Start Time: 5:10 PM | End Time: 5:36 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. “Wake Up”
Let’s see what dis iz about. >>> Feelin’ tha creepin’-up start. Nice shit you got goin’ on here! LOL, iz tha beat eva gonna kick-in? I guess it won’t, but thumbs up fa all this consistent rappin’ that’s tight! LOL, afta almost two minutes, didn’t realize there was gonna be a hook, which iz catchy, too! My Rating: 4.1


02. “Carpe Diem”
What’s dis? >>> Even though tha beat didn’t catch my attention, at first, I think it sounds good wit you rappin’ on it. Good job wit tha consistent rappin’, here! Ooh, tha beat sounds pretty nice once there’s some sorta scene goin’ on; interestin’ shit! My Rating: 3.9


03. “Live Large”
LOL, this again! My Current Rating: 4.1


04. “Dum, Dum, Dum”
LOL, let’s see what dis gon be! >>> I’m feelin’ dis; good style fa tha hook and song, itself. Sounds like you handlin’ tha 1st verse in a great way! LOL @ your endin’ to tha 1st verse wit “I been smokin’, I been drinkin’;” dumb shit fa you, lol! LOL, tha 2nd verse explains dat you got shit on lock fa all tha hoes, lol! My Rating: 4.2


05. “My City” Feat. Kevin Gates & Wissel
ROFL @ Wissel spelled “Wizze;” on tha DatPiff tracklisting! Anyway, definitely some hot shit from last year/late ’09! My Current Rating: 4.5


06. “Live Fast, Die Young”
>>> Why DJ Khaled in tha beginning? Not too crazy about dis beat but you got shit on lock wit tha shit you spittin’, here! My Rating: 3.6


07. “Beamer, Benz Or Bently”
LOL… >>> Sounds like you got shit on lock wit dis beat; thumbs up. Nothin’ but consistent rhymes comin’ from you, to tha fullest! My Rating: 3.8


08. “Swagga Dumb”
>>> Not my kinda title but once again, you got tha rhymes on lock! Damn, “Pretty Girl Rock” flow on tha hook? Kinda spoiled what I was thinkin’ fa tha beat but again, not my kinda title. My Rating: 3.2


09. “George Jetson”
LOL @ this title. >>> ROFL @ tha beat!! It’s tha beat sound from my college news segment that I used tha 1st semester I was on TV! Damn, no wonder why I changed it; wanted ta fully produce it! I really like it/it was my favorite part of my segment’s beat. But, as far as this song, it’s pretty interestin’, “Tree-House” style, lol! My Rating: 4.0


½time: A 3.9-rated CD, currently; pretty good fa you…


10. “Beamin’”
>>> Not this beat fa tha 1,000,000th time! However, nice start to tha 1st verse wit tha entrance to tha “tree-house”; kick-ass rhymes, overall!! My Rating: 4.1


11. “Fire Flies”
LOL, it’s really a compound word. >>> Damn, it iz “Fireflies” beat? ROFL… You’re makin’ me like dis shit wit tha consistent rhymes, lol! Too bad you used tha original hook; have ta deduct a lil’ fa dat! My Rating: 3.5


12. “Miss Me” Feat. Brimmer
Wonder who Brimmer iz…? >>> Not my kinda beat dat I would like too much. This iz less-consistent than tha previous jointz, but you still hold it down, especially wit tha “swishas” part. SMH @ tha hook; did I have ta hear Drake? Where’s dat Brimmer person? My Rating: 2.9


13. “Call Me, Text Me”
Not tha same song as Ray Vicks? >>> It’s not, but tha beat’s betta; decent hook, too. Tha rhymes are decent; surprisingly, I like Ray Vicks’s version betta, overall. My Rating: 3.6


14. “Fall For You”
>>> Oh no, not anotha Pop song. This iz a lil’ too quiet and ain’t goin’ down like tha 1st song on here. Rhymes are a lil’ consistent but nothin’ ta say… Damn, tha last minute was tha original version? Why’d I have ta hear dat? My Rating: 2.1


15. “Goin’ Live”
>>> This sounds a lil’ Poppy on tha beat, too. Even though I have barely any interest, this iz a lil’ betta… My Rating: 3.0


16. Church (Interlude)
LOL, 16 jointz in, an interlude appears! >>> This tha “end”? There’s three more jointz…; why are you so low on tha volume? I co-sign what you’re sayin’, here, though. My Rating: N/A


17. “Church”
>>> For a song wit 5:11 on tha length, I dunno if I’d want it ta sound like dis…; hook’s a lil’ soft fa me. Pretty-good wit how you come through wit it, here. But, this ain’t really for me, overall. My Rating: 3.1


18. “From My City To Yo City”
I like dis title; lemme hear what you got, here. >>> Okay, this iz a lil’ betta; I’m feelin’ tha vibe, here. In tha hook, it sounds like familiar mixin’ sounds? Anyway, nice hook, and it sounds like you got some decent shit goin’ on… LOL @ tha “Justin Timberlake” shit; nice job tha way you combine some of these rhymes. Damn, this iz long! My Rating: 3.8


19. “Billionaire” Feat. Quikkdraw
SMH, you can’t spell tha title? >>> Oh no, more Pop shit. Too bad it took almost a minu—rofl, Quikkdraw on tha feature!! SMH @ not listin’ him, either! Definitely entertainin’, but too bad I gotta deduct for all this Bruno Mars shit. Good job wit you holdin’ down tha 2nd verse, too! SMH, you said a name dat I used ta talk to that mysteriously didn’t thank me and disappeared from keepin’ in touch wit me. Overall, interestin’! Ooh, Quikkdraw added some tight-ass shit durin’ tha end of this, acapella style!! My Rating: 3.4


Overall: Not bad, overall. Not as good as tha 1st “Out The Gate” but you had some good jointz on here.
