Review #1,045: Hood "Money, Murda & Musik"

Reviewed on 8.07.2011 (Review #1,045)

Next review iz Hood “Money, Murda & Musik”! Start Time: 2:48 PM | End Time: 3:21 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. “Favorite Show”

>>> Sounds like a smooth kinda song for tha start… Oh, your voice iz a lil’ more darker than tha smooth beginning, lol. Sounds like you’re better than Young James; consistent rappin’ and you got a good voice fa dis shit, here. I like tha shit you spittin’ about what’s goin’ on wit you and your hood… My Rating: 3.9

02. “Closer 2 My Dream”

>>> Not my kinda beat ta rap on but lol, talk about tha street shit you’re consistently rappin’ ‘bout in a fast way! Thumbs up fa all these rhymes, too! My Rating: 4.1

03. “Grind” Feat. Young James

>>> Sounds like a decent/good song fa tha streetz. I like tha collaboration and how tha hook sounds fa tha grindaz. My Rating: 3.7

04. “Rhythm Of My Life”

LOL @ tha 1^st “h” bein’ missin’ from tha title! >>> ROFL @ tha Corona “The Rhythm Of The Night” sample, randomly; catchy! I like how it repeats throughout tha song, here and there, especially playin’ on tha hook. LOL, who would’ve thought there’d be all this drug-type shit, mixed wit a Corona sample! Ooh, even quotin’ “Sinead O’Connor,” too; good job! My Rating: 4.3

05. “Million Bucks” Feat. Young James

Shitty title; let’s see how this goes… >>> A lil’ catchy but I should consider this too mainstream for me—oh, I hear all “swag” shit in tha 1^st verse; guess that says it all? Yea, too cocky; nothin’ I’d love… My Rating: 2.7

06. “Going In”
>>> At least this iz short; not bad wit your rhymes… My Rating: 3.6

07. “Real Talk”

>>> Rhymes are catchy, here; nice job, although a lil’ boring, at times, wit tha flow… My Rating: 3.4

08. “Hard Times” Feat. Young James & Animal

>>> Sounds like what a good, East Coast song would sound like… Rhymes are only okay for me, although they’re kinda catchy wit tha consistency… My Rating: 3.6

09. “Mind Of A Hustla”

>>> Lots of rhymes that sound good and consistent; no hook? I don’t really mind tha long length of 3 ¾ minutes since you got tha rhymes on lock. My Rating: 3.8

10. “I’mma Gunna”

>>> Sounds like random rappin’… Tha hook and title’s a lil’ catchy; at least this ain’t wack. My Rating: 3.5

½time: Currently, a 3.7 for tha CD rating; keep it up.

11. “What You Know About It” Feat. Young James

Damn, you don’t “know” how to spell “know” (spelling it as “no” in this title iz a “no-no”)?! >>> Interestin’ rhymes about you ova this Vybe beat… Kinda random wit tha flow, once again, which loses my interest… Damn, over five minutes on tha length, too? Not too bad on tha feature; I think Young James iz soundin’ betta on this track ‘cause of his better flow/voice, here? That’s different… My Rating: 3.4

12. “Got To Get It”

>>> Don’t like whateva’s on tha hook… This sounds like random rappin’, too; nothin’ really for me, here… My Rating: 2.5

13. “Get Yo Hustle On” Feat. Animal

>>> LOL, catchy hook wit this title! Tha length’s a lil’ long of 4:40, but lol, “everyday iz tha same shit, just a different toilet;” what a line! Kinda braggin’ wit what you’re spittin’ about but I like this… LOL, someone honked tha horn @ 1:46; what tha…? Animal ain’t too bad wit his part, too… My Rating: 4.1

14. “I’m Me”

>>> Glad you’re you; catchy-soundin’ hook, here. Flow’s a lil’ ehh, but at least you’re rappin’ about you, here. My Rating: 3.7

15. “It Been A Mystery”

Damn, anotha weird-spelled title? “Mystery,” not “mistery”…! >>> Scary ta hear a Journey sample pitched up, but tha beat you’re rappin’ on sounds pretty good wit tha scary sounds… Tha rhymes are pretty interestin’, here, though; sounds like you’re keepin’ shit up, like you’re on a mission. My Rating: 3.8

16. “Go Wrong” Feat. Animal

>>> Five-minute song? Doesn’t sound like my kinda song; a lil’ too slow, almost like nothin’s really goin’ on wit tha beat… Content ain’t really for me; I rather hear somethin’ exciting if a girl’s “everything” to you. My Rating: 2.1

17. “That Feeling”

You mean “feeling”? Not again… >>> Damn, I was right! How could you not know how ta spell “feeling” (as “filling”)? I thought I was filling somethin’ out… or, this was somethin’ about jello filling up? Hook’s catchy; lol @ tha repetitiveness! :rofl Tha content you have, not in a negative way, sounds betta than tha previous song, at least. My Rating: 3.7

18. “All Of Y’all”

>>> Seems like you’re everything fa these gurls, lol. You sound entertainin’ wit your voice, here, although a lil’ cocky fa these ladies? How you really get “all of [‘em]”? My Rating: 3.5

19. “Set It Off”

>>> A lil’ catchier, here; sounds like you’re holdin’ it down fa tha streetz, here. Kinda long (4:08) for a song like this, but not bad, overall. My Rating: 3.6

20. “What It Do”

A “Blackout” song for tha bonus/ending song? >>> This sounds catchy; reppin’ tha Blackhoodie Musik shit, here… Glad we’re back to tha energy you’re bringin’ on tha tracks; that’s what a bunch of tha previous songs were missin’… I think this sounds catchy for a single; lol @ tha long ending outta nowhere… My Rating: 4.0

Overall: Not bad, overall; this was anotha decent CD dat was a lil’ better than Young James’s CD I just reviewed.
