Reviewed on 6.05.2011 (Review #965)




Tha night iz almost over and I have four reviewz ta do; hope I get ‘em done before 12! First up, 3 Fah 10 “7-Day Hustle (Hosted by DJ Jumbo)”; shout out ta O-Dog fa mailin’ me a hard copy as well as Hawk, tha birthday boy, doin’ tha covers! Happy birthday, big dawg Hawk!! Hope he did it B.I.G., ya feel me?! Anyway, I finna get into tha review! Fact: 3 Fah 10 iz Dub Sacc & O-Dog. Start Time: 10:03 PM | End Time: 10:33 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”
Looks like it gon be a song… >>> Y’all list on y’all MySpace as “Three For Ten Entertainment;” iz dat correct iz it spelled “3 Fah 10,” like y’all name? Anyway, good intro from DJ Jumbo, here; afta a minute, tha rappin’ iz here and I’m feelin’ how y’all comin’ through on this catchy beat. My Rating: 3.8


02. “Hi Haters”
>>> Even though this was an ’08-type title/saying, I think this iz a lil’ catchy for ’11; good female hook… Tha beat ain’t dat bad and tha rhymes are aight, too… Tha 2nd verse sounds catchy on how they’re deliverin’ shit on this beat, at least… My Rating: 3.7


03. “Youth So Cold” Feat. Wingfella Hawk
Looks interestin’… >>> Sounds like a sample but I’m likin’ this Jamaican resurrection style. “Shout out ta …, Louisiana;” I believe y’all rep Vacherie? Anyway, not sure what I can make outta dis; thought I’d hear Jamaican-vocal flows than somewhat-boring flows. Tha “Obama” shit kinda sounds outdated; he should just stay in tha ‘08/’09 dayz. Anyway, let’s see what I can make outta dis 2nd verse… This iz betta wit tha flow; at least there’s some interest in it, although tha 1st verse did have some good lyrics… Didn’t expect there to be a 3rd verse but here it iz, and it fits right in tha middle—quality wise—between tha 1st and 2nd verse. My Rating: 3.4


04. “Show ‘Em Ur Grown”
>>> Beat could go either way fa me; cool underground or a bad way to get on tha East Coast’s dick. Tha 1st verse sounds somewhat-interestin’ and tha beat iz gettin’ betta…; I’ll consider this a plus. Tha 2nd verse sounds good wit tha lyrics; how will tha 3rd verse—if there iz one—goes? Sounds like an outro, lol? Actually, it sounds good; feelin’ tha Louisiana dialect. My Rating: 3.8


05. “Dealing Wit A Mack” Feat. Jao
>>> Scary vocal start? Must be “Jao” since Jumbo shouted “Jao” out? Sounded like it, at first, wit tha 1st ¼ of it. What happened at :44 - :45? Sounds like how my computer used ta fuck up on iTunes durin’ 2009 – 2010 (double-checked to make sure it was tha song). Anyway, tha 1st verse sounds a lil’ betta; this ain’t too bad, overall. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin’ aight; rhymes are a lil’ catchy… My Rating: 3.6


06. “Get U Sum”
>>> Oh, “Vacherie” (pronounced “Vach-er-ie”); thought it was pronounced “Vack-er-ie,” off first thoughts, lol. Anyway, tha hook sounds good; thumbs up fa Jumbo on tha intro… Tha rhymes on tha 1st verse are catchy; thumbs up fa tha catchiness… Damn, this song’s about five minutes long; must be a lil’ more serious? I’m likin’ dis 2nd verse; a betta-soundin’ voice ta hold verses down! Tha 3rd verse sounds just as good! Wodieson seems ta have tha crown for Vacherie, in my opinion, since I first heard tha town name from him. But, y’all seem ta take tha word ta another level, since y’all ‘discovered’ me. Slowly thinkin’ tha lyrics in tha 3rd verse ain’t really fa me so I feel dat tha 2nd verse gets tha crown fa dis song. My Rating: 3.7


½time: Sounds like an average CD dat’s stayin’ on a steady level; 3.7 for tha CD rating, currently.


07. “Dat There”
>>> Sounds like a good, online beat; catchy hook and tha verses are somewhat-catchy, which makes me think this has mainstream potential… My Rating: 3.8


08. “Fresh”
>>> Glad this iz “2011” and dat y’all didn’t wait ta get in touch wit me/give it ta me! Tha beat iz aight, here; tha 1st verse iz okay—nothin’ mindblowin’. Tha hook sounds like it could be catchy; I dunno, but somethin’ tells me dat this could be some memorable music… I think ‘cause I’m gettin’ some “Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1” vibes, here, wit tha unknown/new sound dat’s only average! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ a lil’ betta… My Rating: 3.6


09. “Bumpers & Grills”
>>> Unless dat’s a catchy beat sound chopped up, I might like it ‘cause tha sounds, ‘emself, might’ve turned out a lil’ gay if it was a full-soundin’ sound fa tha beat… Anyway, rhymes are only decent; slowly startin’ ta lose interest in dis, especially since dis iz pretty long… I do think tha hook’s somewhat-cool wit tha “chop” style. My Rating: 3.5


10. “Ur Toothless”
LOL? >>> Sounds like a cliché start wit tha “you don’t really want war wit a soldja”? Female on tha 2nd ½ of tha hook? Iz dat Wingfella Hawk (not sure if dat was a gurl)? A lil’ confused, lol… Anyway, rhymes are soundin’ a lil’ betta, here; I’m likin’ what I’m hearin’ on tha 2nd verse between tha voice and tha catchy rhymes… A 3rd verse slipped in, here, and it’s on some catchy shit, once again! LOL, this iz my favorite song, currently? My Rating: 3.9


11. “Hater R You”
>>> This iz a complete downhill wit how tha beat sounds fa me; even some gay vocals on tha hook/sample? Rhymes are only okay for me…; okay, tha 2nd verse iz a lil’ betta wit some punchlines… ROFL, no 3rd verse; ironic! My Rating: 2.6


12. “Outro”
What’s #13, then? >>> Okay outro from Jumbo… Tha song’s start iz aight wit tha hook; why tha volume change, immediately? Beat’s nothin’ special fa me; a lil’ on tha Chicago tip (Slum Village/Kanye West-soundin’ shit)… Tha 1st verse sounds pretty nice wit tha rhymes but nothin’ ta get me fully interested fa a song… I like tha crowd outta nowhere, lol… Tha 2nd verse has some good rhymes, too; I think I’ll give this a lil’ bit of props… My Rating: 3.6


13. “Bumpers & Grills (Chopped & Screwed Version)”
Okay, let’s see what we got… >>> Thought it would be a radio edit but it’s a chopped-and-screwed version of “Bumpers & Grills”; nice!! My Rating: 3.8


Overall: Only one wack song fa me; all of tha others were on a decent/above average level. I didn’t love any of tha songs but y’all maintained a quality-soundin’ mixtape, at least. I wonder what dis promo disc has in store fa me next…? Oh yea, forgot ta mention dat Da Cru was featured in here, somewhere…
