Review #935: Lil' Cali (Cali Pachino) "The World Is Mine"

Reviewed on 5.18.2011 (Review #935)

Review #2 for today, which I know will be better, iz Lil’ Cali (Cali Pachino) “The World Is Mine”! Start Time: 12:32 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. “Trap Or Die”

>>> Oh no, not more jacked-beat-type shit, especially really old beats… Very catchy rhymes you got here, though. My Rating: 3.6

02. “Power” Feat. Carter Boy

>>> Thought I would’ve heard dis before but I guess not. Anyway, stupid beat and once again, flow’s jacked from tha original. Wit Carter Boy on tha feature, he sounds better wit what he’s spittin’. My Rating: 3.1

03. “Get It Back” Feat. Kevin Gates

ROFL, what’s wit tha hella-old song? :confused >>> Sounds a lil’ different wit you on tha hook as an extra part. Although this nearly sounds tha same as tha 1^st version I heard, that version was a lil’ betta wit just Gates on tha hook. My Rating: 4.3

04. “Pissin’ On ‘Em” Feat. Carter Boy

Hope this doesn’t disappoint ‘cause I look forward to enjoyin’ dis… >>> Beat’s a lil’ dry but I guess it helps since you’re “pissin’ on ‘em,” lol. Nice job wit tha rhymes, although I like tha hook tha best, lol. Tha flow’s kinda on a Wayne/Drake tip, which I’m not really into… Damn, even Carter Boy has dis flow? :confused I like his X-rated shit, though. My Rating: 3.8

05. “Hustle Hard” Feat. Na’Tee

>>> Finally, somethin’ new and excitin’! Good “hustle” hook as well as holdin’ down tha 1^st verse! Ooh, Na’Tee’s on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse, or should I say 4^th ¼? Nice job from her; hope I hear more! Ooh, yes! She’s on tha 2^nd verse and she sounds much betta wit tha rapid rappin’! :tu Definitely A+ wit what she’s bringin’ to tha table!!! My Rating: 4.5

06. “Touchdown”

>>> I think this iz a lil’ catchy; I like tha simple hook, here. As far as tha rhymes, they’re aight; this for tha street dudes, here. My Rating: 4.0

07. “My Heater” Feat. Carter Boy

>>> Thought it was Webbie on tha start but you sound a lot like him on this, lol. Some of tha rhymes sound a lil’ familiar but I know I didn’t hear this beat and these rhymes together. Carter Boy sounds aight/below average for me; sounds like random rappin’… My Rating: 3.9

½time: Not what I expected, although this iz a 3.9-rated CD, currently. However, I don’t think it’ll be dat high by tha time I get to tha end…

08. “Make It Rain”

>>> B…L…E…H…!! :td Why’d it take 44 seconds for you to appear? :confused Stupid dumb-ass song! My Rating: 1.7

09. “Get Nasty” Feat. Chosen & Carter Boy

>>> What’s up wit this pathetic-soundin’ beat start? I thought this was a “mixtape”? Lyrics are good but would’ve been much betta if there was Mouse’s magical touch on tha beat! Damn, Carter Boy sounds pretty gay on tha hook! Chosen was okay/below average for me; nothin’ special at all fa this but your lyrics on tha 1^st verse, Cal. My Rating: 1.9

10. “Bend Over” Feat. Level

>>> Switched up to an original production (EQ)? How you do dat after those two previous, pathetic songs? Nice hook from Level; sounds like it’s recycled from a previous song of his? Cali & Level get it in wit tha collaborations! Thought Level would have a verse but you’re holdin’ down tha whole song’s verses. Some of tha shit you spittin’, here, sounds like your “In There” collaboration… My Rating: 4.4

11. “Money Right” Feat. Level & Tank Jones

Damn, this again? Cheating!! My Current Rating: 4.9

12. “Like Magic” Feat. Skip & Carter Boy

This too? Carter Boy not listed on tha feature? My Current Rating: 4.5

13. “Catchin’ Sales” Feat. Mouse On Tha Track

>>> LOL, this iz new fa me and tha hook’s pretty hot wit Mouse on it (prolly on tha beat, too)!! LOL, “cash me out;” luv it!! You have some catchy rhymes, here; thumbs up! Mouse’s on tha 2^nd verse and it’s tha shit I’d expect; nice job! My Rating: 4.6

14. “I Be Workin’” Feat. OJ Da Juiceman & DJ B-Real

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! :rofl My Current Rating: 4.5

15. “My Last”

>>> Sounds like a sappy way ta end this mixed mixtape… Too Poppy wit tha beat you chose… Not really for me, although it ain’t dat bad; I like tha “like-it’s-my-last” theme. My Rating: 3.4

Overall: Well, there were some cheating songs dat I heard that made tha CD rating stay up. But, I was right; it did go down. I think you did better wit jacked-beat songs in tha past, but keep grindin’, as always!
