Review #940: M-11 "N.O. Exposed"

Reviewed on 5.22.2011 (Review #940)


My 3rd review for today iz TRU Records artist M-11 “N.O. Exposed. Start Time: 4:04 PM | End Time: 4:36 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.

© 2011 CD Review (Review #940) reviewed on 5.22.2011 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. InTRU w/DJ Age
An “InTRU” here, lol! >>> You sound like an internet rapper wit this quality, lol; I like tha dialogue, here. My Rating: N/A


02. “Hustle & Grind”
>>> Good rhymes over a tight-soundin’ beat; nice combo! Tha hook sounds good; it’s all about dat “hustle & grind!” My Rating: 4.2


03. “Break It Off”
>>> This sounds catchy wit tha hook and breakin’ shit “off.” Yea, why does everyone “wanna be a thug like Pac;” it iz “played out” and I’m glad I don’t follow typical people like Pac & Biggie, no offense! Nice job wit comin’ through fa tha real thugs in tha street and expressin’ to tha fakes why they need ta stop! My Rating: 4.0


04. “I’m On”
>>> Hook iz okay, although a lil’ gay wit tha vocals; I do like how dis beat sounds, though. Tha rhymes, here, are okay; a decent joint from you. My Rating: 3.2


05. Real Talk
>>> Nice skit. My Rating: N/A


06. “Choppas” Feat. C-Murder
Looks like it’ll be one of those A-graded collaborations! >>> Nice, faster-soundin’ beat, here! I like how C-Murder has a fast flow while still keepin’ it street to tha bone! Wit you on this joint wit C, it sounds pretty good. Tha rhymes are good but it don’t compare to C; at least y’all collaboratin’, though. My Rating: 4.1


07. “My City” Feat. C-Murder
Anotha collab? How will dis one go? >>> This beat sounds betta; this sounds more on a mainstream Rap level, kinda like an MTV Jams only/Rap City only-type song. C-Murder’s on tha 1st verse, again, and he sounds good wit these rhymes; gotta keep it A+ for tha streetz! You sound betta on tha 2nd verse, M-11; nice job wit tha street content but damn, you quoted “Tupac” when you said, “people act like him?” :confused Error…? “Eva since my father passed, I’ve been drivin’ reckless;” I know a death iz bad but to control your drivin’? My Rating: 4.2


08. “Armed Robbery”
>>> Good content, once again; I’m likin’ how you showin’ luv to tha Boot, here, wit tha content and peoples’s situations in jail. I like how you sound consistent wit tha flow and tha shit you rappin’ ‘bout; thumbs up! My Rating: 4.3


09. Craig B (Beats By The Pound) Shoutout
>>> Good shoutout, here. My Rating: N/A


10. “Yeeah, Heyy”
>>> Sounds like Jennifer Hudson sayin’ tha title in tha background; sounds pretty good fa a Rap song, though, for tha underground. Nice job wit holdin’ this joint down; good production and consistent rappin’ at its finest. My Rating: 4.0


11. “Freaks” Feat. Dougie Fresh
Looks like this iz a fake feature? Lemme see… >>> Sounds like it wit tha title repeatin’ as a sample, smh. Tha content iz a lil’ too typical for me (mainstream shit) so my interest izn’t too high, although some of tha shit, here, iz consistently delivered. Tha hook sounds good wit tha unlisted Jamaican artist; why she unlisted when there’s a fake feature listed? My Rating: 3.6


12. “Hood Rock”
>>> Beginning music sounds like Usher’s song before tha “My Boo” video a lil’ bit… Your flow sounds a lil’ catchy, here, wit how you holdin’ it down; not bad of a joint, here, for tha Rap heads. My Rating: 3.5


13. Fiend Shoutout
>>> :tu Love how he mentionin’ he “smokin’ somethin’ up in head;” you know what it iz! My Rating: N/A


14. “Put It On Ya” Feat. Mystikal
>>> Izn’t this “I’ont Like You”? Think it iz; must be another remix? For this CD bein’ aight, sounds like this iz a bonus, lol. Were you in tha background of this song? My Current Rating: 4.8


15. “Fuck ‘Em” Feat. C-Murder
Ooh, anotha collaboration! >>> Damn, tha interestin’ production from—soundin’ like KLC or Beats By The Pound—sounds tight, here, nearly like “Down For My Niggaz”; lol @ tha similar jointz outta nowhere. Anyway, nice collaboration; thumbs up fa tha both of y’all keepin’ shit on ‘n’ poppin’ to tha max!! My Rating: 4.6


½time: Tha previous two jointz really helped tha ratings go up, bringin’ tha average to a 4.0, currently; can you keep it up?


16. “Whip It Up”
>>> Sounds like Lil’ Wayne in tha beginning; luckily, it’s just a lil’ sample. As for tha rappin’ you got, here, it sounds pretty good…; nice job wit tha consistent mixtape song. My Rating: 4.2


17. “Beefin’” Feat. Joey Queans
>>> Sounds good for a new song; nice collaboration wit Queans! Tha hook’s nice and smooth for tha streetz, although I’m like, “fuckin’ ‘beefin’’,” ‘cause all it does iz cause deaths. You’re doin’ a nice job wit tha verses and Joey adds a lil’ bit of a plus to tha pot, here; nice shit he spittin’, within a consistent/tight mind! My Rating: 4.3


18. “Freedom Cry”
>>> Beat’s aight but tha sample’s a lil’ gay, especially since tha 1st 50% of tha song iz tha beginning/hook. As far as tha rappin’, it’s somewhat catchy but this izn’t tha best song fa me. My Rating: 3.3


19. M-11 Speaks
>>> Thumbs up fa a skit, bruh. My Rating: N/A


20. “R.I.P. Soulja Slim Tribute” Feat. Soulja Slim
>>> Almost sounds like “Beats How You Want ‘Em”’s tag in tha beginning; sounds like a nice compilation of Soulja Slim songs, here. Even though I feel like dis iz cheatin’ for this mixtape, since you’re not on it, I’ll rate it how I feel, still. My Rating: 4.3


21. “Uptown Anthem”
>>> Beginning sounds nice; sounds like you holdin’ shit down fa tha “uptown” and 504! Thumbs up fa dis content, too, especially near tha end! My Rating: 4.1


22. “Set It Off”
>>> Damn, anotha CD wit a Drake sample? :confused Tha one I heard previously sounded much betta/entertainin’; this one’s aight but nothin’ I wanna hear in a Louisiana CD. Tha rappin’, here, iz aight from you; still for tha streets, though, so that’s what’s up. I like how you shouted out “KLC” on this, too. My Rating: 3.7


23. “Bonified Hustler”
>>> LOL, people still samplin’ M.I.A.? Sounds cool; thumbs up fa tha sample wit tha tight beat, too! Tha rhymes sound catchy wit this flow; good job… My Rating: 4.2


24. “She Choosy”
>>> LOL, even more Yung Joc samples? Funny…; I think this sample’s pretty entertainin’, lol. Wit tha rhymes you got here, they’re aight; sounds like it could fit in tha mainstream more than wit my likin’… My Rating: 3.8


25. “Supra”
What? >>> Even though tha beat has a higher BPM, I’m not likin’ tha hook at all; way too mainstream for my likin’. My Rating: 2.6


26. “One False Move (Remix)” Feat. C-Murder & Akon
Damn, ’08 outta nowhere? This was a good song fa what it was; I still think this iz cheatin’… >>> Oh wait, you’re on this? Must be a remix…; good contribution from you, here. My Rating: 4.3


27. “Stay Strap”
You mean “Strapped”? >>> Nice intro in tha beginning; sounds like tight ‘90s music! I like how you’re comin’ through wit tha tight shit; good hook! I like how I’m learnin’ about you “at tha age of nine,” here; keep tha rhymes comin’! Too bad you had a bit of a struggle; I did… wit communication, and it was rough! This joint’s nice and consistent and doesn’t get too boring, mainly thanx to dat good beat! My Rating: 4.4


28. “Street Nigga” Feat. C-Murder
>>> Damn, still hearin’ this beat in ’11? :confused Good thing C-Murder’s on it; pretty nice shit from him! I like C’s “pop me a dolphin” shit goin’ on in tha 1st verse; glad he “rollin’, rollin’,” as I always got luv fa C! You’re doin’ a good job, too, wit what you’re contributin’ to tha track, boi. My Rating: 4.3


29. “Back 2 Tha ‘90s”
>>> Nice beat, here; good subject, too! Even though some of this vibe iz gettin’ repetitive, I like what you got, here, as far as tha rhymes, a lil’ bit… My Rating: 3.9


30. “Happy Feelings”
What will tha ending song sound like? >>> Damn, this sounds like ‘90s R&B than Rap for me wit tha hook… As far as what you got goin’ on wit tha rappin’, it’s aight; not too bad… Damn, anotha reference ta “Pac”? My Rating: 3.1


Overall: You did ya thang, here; good job…
