Review #1,020: Benjamin Racks "Benjamin Racks vs. Beast Boy Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 7.04.2011 (Review #1,020)




My next review iz for Aviator Committee Entertainment’s Benjamin Racks—believe he was known as Beast Boy, here? This iz my review for “Benjamin Racks vs. Beast Boy Vol. 1”! Start Time: 11:49 AM | End Time: 12:30 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. “ABC (R.I.P. Micheal Jackson)”
LOL @ tha incorrect spelling of “Michael”. But, I don’t think I gon look forward to this. Tha track #’s I’m goin’ by iz what’s on tha mp3 info (e.g., 1 of 15) instead of tha filename. >>> Yaboibeezy doin’ tha beat, here. Well, it ain’t as gay as I thought for tha sample, since there’s an original beat behind it… LOL @ all these gurls you know; I can just imagine this perspective, which’ll prolly neva be me… My Rating: 3.0


02. “State Lines” Feat. PT Bone
Parktown Bone on tha feature? LOL @ J. Guss for tha producer… >>> Just “Guss”, here, on tha beat, lol! Ooh, likin’ tha vibe, here; sounds pretty street wit Parktown Bone on tha hook! I’m likin’ what you bringin’ on tha 1st verse; didn’t realize how affiliated you were wit a bunch of things in tha streetz, artists, and more, especially since I only knew you off of dat “Nasty” song/you discoverin’ me. But yea, glad you got these connections! Time fa some hot shit wit Parktown Bone on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit dat tight shit!! Such a street-ass dude!! He doesn’t look how he sounds, which keeps tha mysterious new songs/features interestin’! Tha 3rd verse iz soundin’ good, too; lol @ you and tha “chain fell in food colorin’” shit! My Current Rating: 4.4
EDIT: Didn’t realize I reviewed this, previously, on Parktown Bone’s CD from last year, as well as tha same rating and tha same comment about tha “food colorin’” line, lol!


03. “What It Look Like”
A production from Mouse? Will I know this? >>> Beat sounds very familiar… *Checks iTunes…* I know I heard this from somewhere! Anyway, know it or not, it’s definitely a catchy-ass hook, beat, and this crazy street shit you spittin’! “Drugs” everywhere, lol? LOL, I didn’t realize how much you were affiliated wit err-thang; definitely crazy!! My Rating: 4.6


04. “Des Hoes”
LOL @ tha way this title looks… Young Huss; who’s that producer? EDIT: It’s really Young Hustla… >>> Ooh, more hot shit, here! Likin’ tha way tha newer-soundin’ producer sounds and rofl @ this hook! Glad you take this rhymin’ to tha next level wit tha rhymes!! LOL @ tha “pissin’” shit; you’re really on anotha level! Really likin’ tha 1st verse wit all this “fuck”-type rhymes, lol! Didn’t realize how much sex you had, lol! I guess that’s what happens when I neva hear an artist or only hear one song… ROFL, continuin’ on tha 2nd verse, too! ROFL, even betta and more descriptive on tha 3rd verse!!! You prolly have a kid, I assume? My Rating: 4.5


05. “Working My Fangas”
Trunk Musik (M.M.E.) doin’ some production, here; thought tha title said, “fangz,” lol! >>> Sounds like a good-soundin’ be—oh, M.M.E. = Money Makers Entertainment; I see! Maybe that’s where I heard tha one song from? Then again, it wasn’t in my iTunes, which it should’ve been? Think I might’ve heard your “Beast Boy” name come up in a Money Makers conversation from a year or two ago… Nice job wit tha hook, here; “fangas” goin’ crazy, lol! Tha 1st verse iz pretty nice; this iz turnin’ out ta be a pretty hot CD!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; lol, just luvin’ this unexpected, street-type shit!! LOL, you definitely entertainin’ wit dis shit!! Long beat outro? Thought I was gonna hear a 3rd verse from tha oh-so-hungry Benjamin “Beast Boy” Racks, lol! My Rating: 4.4


06. “Freestyle (What Happened To Dat Boy)”
LOL, this must be some really old, Beast Boy-type shit! >>> I feel like this gon be pretty nice, based off tha oldness… Yea, this iz nice; thumbs up fa all this gun-type shit, lol (rhymes style, not in-person style)! LOL, you know dat if it’s a freestyle—3.5 minutes long—it definitely gon be crazy!!! LOL, you don’t stop; I can’t even picture what you look like when you’re rappin’ dis!! LOL, some “fuck” shit in this, too? Luvin’ tha sex, huh, lol? Crazy! ROFL… Nothin’ but craziness ‘til tha end!! My Rating: 4.7


07. “Freestyle (R.I.P. Eazy-E)”
It’s actually “Eazy-E”, not “Easy E”; I’ll fix it this time since it’s not a stupid artist like Michael… >>> Short song wit an original production from dat Yaboibeezy dude… Sounds like tha original song of Eazy’s plus tha BR feel… LOL, you crazy wit dis shit, too! Likin’ tha “9th inning” shit; lol, I don’t eva see you takin’ a break!!! My Rating: 4.6


½time: For a semi-shitty start, I thought this was gonna be semi-wack/aight… However, you definitely comin’ through wit some heat, especially wit tha original songs!! A 4.3-rated CD, currently; pretty tight!!!


08. “Stunt All Night” (Hood Boyz)
A group wit you, here, wit a Young Huss beat; lookin’ forward! >>> Oh, Young Huss iz Young Hustla? Lemme fix what I said, originally, wit him… Anyway, pretty tight shit, here, from this energetic-soundin’ group!! Tha beat’s an A+-soundin’ sound from Hustla, this time!! Sounds like you on tha 2nd verse? LOL, these crazy-ass rhymes wit tha “rat” and “booby trap” shit!! This shit also reminds me of tha great ’08 dayz, when I first started gettin’ adjusted ta tha BR shit! LOL, a “Lewis” dude just randomly jumped onto tha 3rd verse!! LOL, didn’t realize how long this song was; pretty tight fa a 5 ¾-minute song! Lots of shit goin’ on, here; so continuous and consistent dat err-body keepin’ shit poppin’!! My Rating: 4.6


09. “Pimp 101” (Hood Boyz)
Anotha song from tha group? Let’s see dis, here, produced by Yaboibeezy! >>> Sounds like a good, late ‘90s-soundin’, undaground, Louisiana Rap song! I wonder how old this iz? Good, smooth-ridin’ hook, here, as well as tha consistent-ass 1st verse goin’ on!! LOL, lots of “hoe” shit goin’ on, here, continuin’ on tha 2nd verse; good blendin’ in—quality style—for tha group members! Tha 3rd verse iz good, too; “potato chips,” lol! My Rating: 4.3


10. “Re-Up Money”
Guss doin’ tha beat, here; looks like an aight title but I know I gon like it, prolly… >>> Good sound for tha start; beginning beat in tha 2nd ½ of tha intro sounds like tha “I Luv It” song from Troy Da Triggaman & Max Minelli! LOL @ tha hook; almost sounded familiar, at first, but that title sounds tight, here! Definitely feelin’ tha street-type shit you spittin’, here! “’09, I’m still in it;” props on tha year. Tha 3rd verse sounds a lil’ like a Kevin Gates relative; no wonder why you cool wit Guss! LOL, ended it wit a cocky-soundin’ “nigga” (tha word); thumbs up fa keepin’ your attitude and perspective out there! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Like Me”
Yaboibeezy, here, on tha beat… >>> Sounds like an interestin’ beginning wit whateva voice/word/sound iz sampled and repeated! Tha hook sounds good but you know dat tha verses gon go off!! Such a crazy-ass Beast Boy!! I definitely need ta interview you fa my radio show next semester! I hope you can freestyle for me, too; you’ll prolly be tha best! LOL, got tha “bitch” shit goin’ on in tha 2nd verse, too; you’re all about gettin’ your name out there, lol! Nice job wit tha outro, too… My Rating: 4.3


12. “Just Want The Paper”
When I first saw this title and tha Michael Jackson one, I was afraid this was gonna be Bruno Mars’s song/freestyle. But, afta you surpassed my expectations, I know this shit gon be nice, especially wit tha Beezy dude doin’ tha beat, again! >>> Beat sounds consistent; good rhymes, here… Really likin’ tha street/drug-type shit on tha hook; good shit! Oh, a lil’ jackin’ wit tha title part, Biggie style… It don’t matter, though, ‘cause you tight as fuck, especially wit this street/drug shit, once again!! ROFL @ tha cockiness on tha 3rd verse; you remember date and time you did all these drug-related things? Example: Date/time of selling? Date/time of smokin’? Date/time of poppin’? Date/time of 1st payment? Hope you have some creativeness in rememberin’! LOL @ tha cocky ending, too; such a Benjamin Racks-ass sound!!! My Rating: 4.4


13. “Dummer”
DJ Montae doin’ a beat, here; iz “dummer” even a word? >>> ROFL, nothin’ but mo crazy-ass shit from you!!! Such an energetic hook; you definitely crazy!! LOL, Techno samples, here (“yeah!!”), from Lil’ Jon (yes, he ain’t Southern Rap anymore; he Dance/Electronica); just crazy-ass shit!! “Got horses on my boxers;” lol, you had ta include tha underwear on here, too? Didn’t realize how much you were focused wit “Polo,” too! I guess this iz 2010 and newer if you be rockin’ shit like dat!? Tha crazy shit’s continuin’ on tha 2nd verse wit this crazy beat; you have soooooooooo much shit ta offer, lol!! Tha 3rd verse iz pretty nice/”dummer,” too, lol! How you mix “hoes on my dick” and “touchin’ on my 40,” together? I guess dat’s tha Beast “Benjamin Racks” Boy way, lol? My Rating: 4.7


14. “That All (Freestyle)”
No producer… >>> Oh, must be an ’07 song from you, here? You still sound crazy and fulla energy, here; lol @ a 4 ¾-minute, non-original beat wit you, here! Strictly nothin’ on tha hook, lol? So Racksjaminboyish, lol!! Damn, major fuck up wit just tha beat bein’ left; why didn’t you cut it? Gotta deduct. Originally, I was gonna rate this a 4.3 but now… My Rating: 3.8


15. “Gettin’ Money” Feat. RnB (M.M.E.) & Teeth
I think I remember RnB from Beat Flippa’s “Street Certified”; no producer, again? >>> LOL @ tha RnB intro, especially when he said, “Teeth,” lol! Tha vibe sounds like an Outkast-soundin’ song, almost, ‘90s style… I’m definitely feelin’ tha hook: it’s smooth and that RnB dude’s doin’ a nice job! Didn’t realize he was a part of Money Makers, too; good shit… Tha 1st verse sounds good, “on tha block like Tetris,” lol! Tha 2nd verse sounds like Lil’ Phat; Teeth on that verse? Sounds good wit tha rhymes; I’m likin’ tha street vibe and pretty much anything you have ta offer, Rackstasticbenjamindude, lol! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Wow, definitely some fiya-ass shit you brought to tha table, here!! You know I’m lookin’ forward to tha new shit (in tha “Nasty” category) for tha future, too!! BTW, if tha order of tha tracks are wrong, let me know. Also, if tha main artist was Beast Boy and not Benjamin Racks, let me know, too; I went by tha cover for tha name… I learned so much about you and your street/hoe obsessions, too; very interest—benjaminrackstin’!
