Reviewed on 4.03.2011 (Review #927)




This next review iz a 2011 one: Fiend a.k.a. International Jones “The Sweetest Hangover”. Start Time: 1:36 PM | End Time: 1:50 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. Greetings From Scotland
LOL? >>> El-oh-el, lol! My Rating: N/A


02. “The Sweetest Hangover” Feat. Ms. Kendra Williams
>>> Not really my style but I’m likin’ dat it sounds like dinner music, lol. Good vibe, here, Fiend, and Ms. Kendra sounds good backin’ you up. My Rating: 3.7


03. “Jus Wanna Float” Feat. Al Beauti
>>> Damn, I have Trip-Hop music on in tha background and I thought this song sounded like dat, wit a G-Funk feelin’ in tha background. But, this iz only decent fa a smooth-soundin’ song; I think you sound betta wit tha rappin’, though. Tha hook sounds interestin’ although it sounds like a lil’ kid backin’ up tha vocals, this time. My Rating: 3.4


04. “Baby”
>>> LOL, how random of a Rodnae beat. Either way, not my style although thinkin’ dat it’s a “baby” in tha background can be interestin’; nice “weed” part in tha beginning, too. My Rating: 3.5


05. “Cairo 2 New Orleans”
>>> I like tha Southern version of a calm Wu-Tang, here, lol. Rhymes are good and tha song iz aight. My Rating: 3.8


06. “Ms. Ethiopia”
Where you get these titles from, lol? >>> Only okay wit no feedback… My Rating: 3.1


½time: A 3.5-rated CD; thought it would be betta…


07. “Fiend4DaMoney (Interlude)”
An interlude? Looks long… >>> Jacked beat? More of a song, instead? Not bad… My Rating: 3.2


08. “Make Summer Come Mixed Late”
LOL, what kinda title’s this? >>> Sounds like a Barry White beat wit tha instruments… Only decent fa me but tha mysterious female on tha hook sounds nice. My Rating: 2.8


09. “Gracias”
LOL. >>> Boring… My Rating: 2.6


10. “Cigar Lit”
A betta title; hope it sounds betta. >>> Too soft fa me; betta content, though. These jointz can be betta; this wack production needs ta go!! My Rating: 3.3


11. “Type Of High” Feat. Boogie Long
>>> I like tha character in your voice, here, although tha production’s too soft… Damn, thought tha feature was a female; was expectin’ a hot voice… My Rating: 3.2


12. “American Rapper”
>>> Sounds like you got a smooth voice, at times, here; not bad although for a freestyle-soundin’ song, I’d definitely expect more. My Rating: 3.4


13. “Lovin’ On You”
Produced by Raphael RJ2. >>> Scary hook…, beat’s soft, and this iz only decent, once again. My Rating: 3.0


Overall: Damn! Based off tha comments on DatPiff, I thought this was gonna be a gangsta, betta-soundin’ Fiend. But, it’s a repeat of tha previous CD dat was too soft fa me!
