Review #929: Survival Corporation "Taliban Gunsmoke"

Reviewed on 4.03.2011 (Review #929)




This next review iz from 2009; Survival Corporation “Taliban Gunsmoke”; sounds a lil’ anticipatin’ fa an N.O. album… Start Time: 3:16 PM | End Time: 3:52 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. Intro
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’! >>> Classic “waaaaah” beginning and “wazzam” shit; already feelin’ anticipated wit tha dialect!! Glad this iz a long intro; y’all can talk as long as y’all wa—damn, singin’ came outta nowhere? Would’ve rather heard all talkin’ but I guess it fits fa tha street content. LOL @ how it said, “because,” at around 1:47; sounded hella fast, lol. My Rating: N/A


02. “Taliban Anthem”
>>> Definitely a nice beat start and tha vibe iz strong, too!! Good shit on this hook; definitely gutta to tha bone! Good job wit this street shit, ya heard me? All tha verses go hard and by havin’ an “anthem,” it definitely says somethin’, ya dig? My Rating: 4.3


03. “Blowin’ Stacks At The Mall” Feat. Wacko
I believe this was tha single? Let’s see dis “blowin’ stacks”-type of joint… >>> This sounds good fa me; I like dis fa an okay-soundin’ song. Tha 1st verse sounds consistent wit tha rappin’; nothin’ wrong, here. Tha 2nd verse sounds a lil’ betta wit tha anti-“police”-type of vibe, here. Tha 3rd verse ain’t too bad; oh, it’s Wacko on tha feature; thought it was someone else ‘cause y’all spelled his name wit an “H”, smh. My Rating: 4.1


04. “Gun Under My Arm”
This should be good, based off tha content! >>> Sounds nice, undaground style! Tha rhymes, of course, sound good fa tha content! Tha 2nd verse iz nice; gotta feel how y’all represent fa tha 504! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Rock To This”
>>> Tha beginning sounds like it could sound like some older Louisiana music… This sounds like it could be a decent song, overall; I like tha random Bounce sample rhythms durin’ tha verses… Tha verses are aight; overall, it sounds good fa a song… My Rating: 3.8


06. “Take No Shit”
That’s tha attitude I wanna hear! >>> Definitely nice production, here; gotta feel tha old-soundin’ Southern style! Nice job wit this attitude, all tha way through! Tha hook has dat attitude dat I feel; nothin’ but nice shit! For a longer song, I don’t mind; tha attitude iz here, so all tha rhymes and verses are consistent. My Rating: 4.4


07. “Corporation Company”
Gotta luv these “C” words, lol! >>> Tha production sounds a lil’ mainstream, Jeezy style, but tha content sounds like it’s on lock. LOL, tha 1st verse sounds like Bro-Bro from Baton Rouge/Jazzy Fam Records, a lil’, lol! Definitely entertainin’, here, fa tha streetz! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice, too; keep this hot, street shit up! My Rating: 4.3


08. Skit
Shit yea, a skit? >>> Yea! Glad this iz at least a minute long! Almost sounds like rhymes, a lil’; not bad… My Rating: N/A


½time: Feelin’ tha street shit y’all got goin’ on, here; you know what it iz! A 4.2-rated CD, currently; keep this shit up!!


09. “President Black”
ROFL, goes wit tha skit and lol, don’t think this iz that special anymore (tha topic). >>> A lil’ smoother wit tha beat but sounds faster; lol, weird combo. I’m likin’ tha vibe comin’ from tha fastness and how tha “hook” iz based off Murphy Lee’s “What Da Hook Gon Be?”, a lil’. Tha rhymes are interestin’, a lil’; some parts of this song’s nice and some sounds cheesy fa me. My Rating: 3.9


10. “Choppas On Deck” Feat. Wacko
Yay, anotha collab wit Wacko, street style! >>> Nice intro from him; this iz gonna be tight! Nice shit goin’ on, here, “taliban” style, lol! Wacko sounds hella tight wit this gutta shit he spittin’ fa tha gangstas; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Uptown/Downtown Shit”
I like this title; 504 representin’!! >>> Decent/good start; nothin’ bad, here… Kinda long, overall; prolly could’ve been around tha 3:00 – 3:30 mark. My Rating: 3.8


12. “’Bout That”
>>> This sounds a lil’ betta and tha length iz what I wanted to expect. Nice job wit keepin’ tha street shit alive and tha beat sounds good, too. Damn, feature on tha 2nd verse? Sounds like a crazy dude!! Almost sounds like T-Bo, a lil’ bit, but they’re doin’ tha damn thang! My Rating: 4.0


13. “Quick Like Mike”
Interestin’ “quick” assumption, here; what will this sound like? >>> I like tha somewhat-soundin’ Baton Rouge beat start; lookin’ forward ta hearin’… Tha 1st verse sounds good; once again, feelin’ tha street shit! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; y’all got shit on lock wit this consistent, N.O. music! My Rating: 4.1


14. “Get Out The Way”
>>> “Survival Corporation [Entertainment] iz tha muthafuckin’ label,” fuckin’ rite! Sounds like a tight anthem fa tha label, here; good job wit tha content, as always!! Nice job wit tha verses but there’s nothin’ like dat hook! “We gon always keep it street;” no other “way” ta do it in tha N.O.! I think someone else iz featured on this joint, too? Who are these mysterious features? Somethin’ on D O B E R W O R L D’s blog says, “features Lil’ Osama, Big Atta & more.” My Rating: 4.3


15. Outro
A 5:01 outro? What do we got, here? >>> Sounds like some Country, ‘40s chantin’ or somethin’, lol? Wayyyyyyyyyy too long; did this even belong here? Should’ve been about four minutes shorter but it was good, at times… My Rating: N/A


16. “Blowin’ Stacks At The Mall (Remix)” Feat. Wacko
No title, lol? Could wonder what dis iz… >>> Sounds like “Blowin’ Stacks At The Mall”? Guess it’s a remix since it’s longer; not sure what else ta say, lol? My Rating: 4.1


Overall: This was a good CD; nice job, guys, and keep up tha good work!
