Gonna
get a review or two over with, now that I have a moment. Tonight, it’s AWEtheNIQ (pronounced “authentic”) with
Crawfish
Boil. With S.O.A.R. (School
of Artists Records),
let’s see what’s up. Also, I assume every song on here iz 2011 and older ‘cause
each rip date iz April, 2011? Start
Time: 9:07 PM | End Time: 9:31 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!

01.
“Sicily
Boats”
Interesting
title. >>> Good intro, real oldies style. Switched up to an East Coast
vibe…; good rhymes. Really not into samples on tha hooks, but this’ll slide, just
a little… My Rating: 3.4
02.
“Anna’s Babies”
Interesting
that you use letters to determine tha track numbers; that’s a first. I remember
this song; good appearance, 2010 style! My
Current Rating: 4.4
03.
“Ah Dea”
Interesting
spelling of tha words in this title. >>> Not really into sampled
music, too much (sounds like “All My Life” (K-Ci & JoJo). For some reason,
I’m startin’ to like this a lil’ more, once tha beat starts kickin’ in… Lyrics
are kinda good, wit tha flow, but I can’t tolerate tha “stacks on deck.” Then
again, at least you’re not a “money virgin” with me, so you can talk about money. Either way, I
still think it’s a played-out topic… My
Rating: 3.8
04.
“Diamonds & Rubies” Feat. The School
Of Artists: Azo The Wiz
& Sun7ife
>>>
Nothing standing out in tha beat or rhymes, here, for a song. Tha only thing
that’s catchin’ my attention iz tha hook, with literally, tha “diamonds &
rubies.” My Rating: 3.3
05.
“Drinks On Me” Feat. Chris Jones & The School Of Artists:
Azo The Wiz & Sun7life
Not
my kinda title… >>> Nothing special for me, but not terrible. My Rating: 2.9
06.
“Zydeco”
A
lil’ above decent on a 2nd listen, months and months later. I still
was like a faggot tha 1st time I heard this song, only months away
from growin’ up! My Current Rating: 3.7
07.
“Country Music”
?
>>> Didn’t really understand tha first 16 seconds… Ehh, with tha title
comin’ into play, this ain’t really up to par with me. Music sounds a lil’
better than some of tha jointz on here, though. My Rating: 3.2
08.
“Theme Song” Feat. Azo The Wiz & Venisha Butler
I
appreciate you doin’ business wit me wit this song, but this iz far from
anything for me. When can we say, “R.I.P. Auto-Tune”? Thank God I gon have my own Top 2,000 Songs of 2000s decade-end
countdown, soon, before Hip-Hop got ruined! My Current Rating: 1.4
½time: A lil’ below average, but
not too much; 3.3
for tha CD rating, currently.
09.
“Acquired Taste” Feat. Sun7ife, JG & Chris Jones
Can’t
read tha 2nd artist on tha feature (had to look online)…
>>> Not exciting music, but I like that title and how tha title iz
applied to tha hook. Thumbs up for tha features, at least. My Rating: 3.6
10.
“Check”
>>>
Why does this sound like jacked-beat music? Almost wanna skip this; anyone can
make this shit. Tha hook sounds a lil’ (very lil’) catchy wit that “check”list.
My Rating: 2.5
11.
“Blk Ivry” Feat. Sun7ife
Another
hard-to-read title… >>> More below-average music for me… Tha hook
sounds really good wit tha title repeating, but tha sample just ruined it for
me! My Rating: 3.4
12.
“ManMade” Feat. Sun7ife
>>>
Another good intro fulla old music… This music’s slightly better than tha other
shit on here, and tha rhymes are pretty good, too. Tha hook also sounds good;
it’s like how I like tha previous one, only without a gay sample in tha
background. My Rating: 3.8
13.
“Flashout”
A
really slow vybe, here, but it’s
pretty tight wit your flow and rhymes. My
Current Rating: 4.3
14.
“Mic Myers”
>>>
Really good beat start (best one?), so far, despite a name as tha title… Nice
job wit tha consistent rhymes; hook iz nice, too! My Rating: 4.0
15.
“Fork” Feat. Azo The Wiz
Nice
and concrete for tha title. >>> I don’t hear anything that stands out,
so far… All that “pussy” and “hoes” shit in tha 1st verse sounds
like tha typical rap that I hear from every rapper, so it’s nothing to comment
on; not horrible, but nothing special, either. My Rating: 3.0
16.
“Problems Pt. 2” Feat. The School
Of Artists: Azo The Wiz
& Sun7ife
Why
was this left off tha back cover? >>> Beat’s okay, but qualifies for
some good hip-hop… Tha rhymes and tha hook’s pretty catchy; good job, overall. My Rating: 3.9
Overall: Just about decent; I’ll
give it that. I had no intentions of reviewin’ this for a while, but I needed
new music and a possible interview for this week’s radio show (already in two
dayz, smh—never get a break). So, I’ll be sure to be hittin’ u up tomorrow
(Friday, tha 13th). You’ve been a two-hit wonder on tha phone wit
me, so if you don’t answer, I just move on to someone else ‘cause I can’t
afford to cancel another show (had a no-show last Saturday; pretty
disappointing, and just makes me wanna quit my show ASAP—doin’ that August 17,
2012).
