Review #1,142: Quikkdraw "Win, Lose Or Quikkdraw (Hosted by Big Jay)"

Reviewed on 3.30.2012 (Review #1,142)


Next up, Blood N Sweat Hustle Group (or Family) in tha buildin’, here: Quikkdraw Win, Lose Or Quikkdraw (Hosted by Big Jay); real glad there’s a new Quikkdraw release!! Outta all tha fags from tha ‘09/’10 dayz, Quikkdraw’s one of tha few to still be in my life! Start Time: 7:08 PM | End Time: 7:57 PM


Disclaimer: 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. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

© 2012 CD Review (Review #1,142) reviewed on 3.30.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “B.L.O.W. (Busy Livin’ Offa Wax)”
Looks like a catchy title, for an intro song! I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’, 2011/2012 style!! >>> Doesn’t sound like original production… Either way, I’m hearin’ you rap on tha 1st verse, and it sounds like you got your shit on lock, all day. This beat you chose’s gettin’ boring, but at least your rhymes are keepin’ me awake, a lil’… My Rating: 3.5


02. “Swagga So Sikk”
Uh, these faggot dayz!! :( Not too yucky, at least, for a 2012 re-entry… My Current Rating: 4.4


03. “Good Evenin’”
>>> Oh, you doin’ tha jacked beat thang, huh? Luckily, I know early, so I’ll try and pay attention to your rhymes… Hmm, I guess tha high BPMs make you rap better? Really feelin’ tha quickness!! Tha “good” thang iz this ain’t long as hell; I hate when people make jacked songs four, five minutes! Lol, lots of entertainin’ shit goin’ on, especially tha “jello—HELLO” part, lol!! My Rating: 4.3


04. “Dream Big” Feat. JustKourt
Wonder who this feature iz… >>> No comment on tha beat, but your consistent rhymes are great ta hear! Ehh, weird hook; almost sounds like a pre-made hook from a jacked song. :td Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; I can understand where tha hook’s comin’ from, now (as it sounds like a creative flow for “dreamin’”), but it still reminds me of a jacked hook. You got a lotta shit goin’ on wit tha 3rd verse, too; definitely sounds pretty nice! My Rating: 3.4


05. “H.U.S.T.L.A.”
I knew this looked a lil’ familiar… >>> Oh wait, new song? Yuck; not tha J Buc sound I thought I was hearin’… Either way, I guess I can kinda try and adjust ta this hook, since it sounds a lil’ catchy. Then again, izn’t this typical rap world about singin’ on hooks? I must’ve been before my time ‘cause in ’08, I wrote an unreleased rap about how tha same artists shouldn’t sing on their hooks! But, good job wit tha 1st verse, too; at least this iz a lil’ catchy, but nothin’ like tha Put A Beat On…’s “Hustla”, without tha periods! Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, here; you know how ta keep shit goin’… I also like how you’re really motivated durin’ tha 3rd verse, too… My Rating: 4.3


06. “All I See Is Dolla Sign$”
Catchy wit how tha title looks… >>> I like how you sound in tha beginning; Quikkdraw = “doe” at all times, lol!! Good shit in tha 1st verse, but why was there some random silence in tha middle of tha song? Not too bad, overall… My Rating: 3.7


½time: A 3.9-rated CD, currently; not too bad, but doesn’t compare to Put A Beat On… fa me. I guess ‘cause that CD was more of an album; this iz more of a mixtape?


07. “Who Gone Take The Charge” Feat. Terror a.k.a. Cheez
Let’s hear it! >>> Sounds like somethin’ good; real nice hook between tha both of y’all!! I wish it was on some original-soundin’ production, though; that would real tight!!! Good shit comin’ outta tha 1st verse, Quikk; really focused about this “charge”!! Nice and focused on tha 2nd verse, too; this shit sounds like an unstoppable meteor, lol!! Speakin’ of Terror, lol, it went from Amy Schumer to a pic of Terror punchin’ on my desktop background, randomly… And, Terror’s on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit, “baking soda” style! I heard how ta cook crack, recently, courtesy of one of my boyz, so I can see where Terror’s goin’ wit this, lol! My Rating: 4.5


08. “Rainy Dayze” Feat. JustKourt & Xen
I usually spell “days” like “dayz”, eva since Mary J. Blige & Ja Rule’s song from 2002; glad you’re on tha same script, sort of, lol. >>> Rhymes ain’t too bad, but it starts ta turn into a soft song wit tha female singin’ on tha hook; not really mixtape material? :confused At least there’s a feature on here (Xen); decent, overall, but not too special. My Rating: 2.8
EDIT: Why were these features left off tha back cover?


09. “Callin’ My Phone” Feat. Yahz
Let’s see how this joint gon sound wit this Yaz Child… >>> Oh no, not a gay-soundin’ online beat wit this “best kept secret” kid on here; younger than a teenager? :confused Okay wit tha rappin’ on tha 1st verse, but this completely goes down tha drain fa me wit this mainstream singin’; where’s tha drug-dealin’ material? I don’t get why a below-average-soundin’ song like this needs to be rewound, like it was tha hottest song on Hot 97 or somethin’? Damn, this iz so long, too… :td Why tha extra, emotional singin’ at tha end? So not mixtape material!! My Rating: 2.0


10. “Um So Hip-Hop” Feat. Lah
>>> Fuck, anotha “…best kept secret” tagged beat? Why iz tha length 4:22? A lotta rhymes, but it sounds like too much, at times; rather hear a song than a freestyle, but it’s still cool… My Rating: 3.6


11. “One Night” Feat. Savage
Hope this helps… >>> This iz much betta!!! Original vibes from Savage, here, wit a real-tight hook of him singin’!!! Should’ve had him sing those other songs, Quikk!! Lol @ tha shit you spittin’ in tha 1st verse; interestin’! “MySpace freak”? No wonder why you said you were “25” in tha previous joint; years ago, lol! Ehh, tha 2nd verse’s aight; a lil’ more mainstream than tha 1st, but I’ll try and handle it… Tha 3rd verse ain’t too bad, overall; seems like you know how ta set tha mood and room, lol. My Rating: 4.4


12. “Throw Me A Bone”
Catchy title. >>> Sounds like a catchy song; interestin’ semi-singin’ hook, Quikk. Tha 1st verse sounds good, here; really likin’ how you combine tha singin’ ova this beat, this time! Not bad wit how you handle tha 2nd verse, here, Quikk; glad you got shit on lock… Kinda gettin’ borin’ toward tha 3rd verse, especially since there’s a total of 4:57 on tha length… My Rating: 3.9


13. “Outro”
What do we have left? >>> Ooh, a freestyle? Sounds tight! For some reason, I thought “Hata Hurta” was gonna reappear on here? Lol @ when you said, “die,” at 0:21; tha mic was above maximum, it sounded like, lol! Good job wit rappin’ this up, wit an R, lol! I like how tha ending echoed wit “Draw…Draw…Draw…Draw…” My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Well, this wasn’t too bad, overall; there was a mix of decent, great, and some that weren’t really for me. But, you know I always follow what you be doin’, Quikk!!
