Review #1,215: Jason Lyric "Fit For A King (Hosted by DJ A Bay Bay & DJ 5150)"

Reviewed on 10.30.2012 (Review #1,215)



Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’, wit an anti-Sandy perspective, I have my boy, Jason Lyric up next! Props fa followin’ me on Twitter outta nowhere, too; that’s some real shit! This CD’s called Fit For A King (Hosted by DJ A Bay Bay & DJ 5150), and let’s see how it does wit me on this review! Start Time: 12:32 PM | End Time: 1:06 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. “King”
Y.E. Beatz on tha production, here; let’s see how this shit goes… >>> Wasn’t too sure about tha intro, here, but tha 1st verse ain’t too bad, so far…—wait, lemme make dat one verse, and it sounds like it’s gettin’ betta wit tha consistency; not too bad… Tha end iz startin’ ta sound like Meek a lil’, which I would’ve rather’ve heard that four years ago, not now! My Rating: 3.9


02. “Gotta Get It”
Jordan David doin’ a beat for you, here. >>> Not too bad for tha rappin’, so far. Once again, just one verse it sounds like, and it’s good. Oh wait, I hear a hook and it sounds catchy; keep grindin’! My Rating: 4.0


03. “Might Not Make It”
What’s up wit this title? Phunk Dawg on tha beat… >>> Sounds good, but I think you made an error? You say, “Might not make it,” but tha title’s “Make Not Make It”? I’m gonna fix it ‘cause I said so, lol! Beat doesn’t sound like it would be Phunk; it sounds too much like typical, trap rap of today, which iz kinda boring. But, for tha song itself, it ain’t that blah-blah-y… Tha rest sounds okay; nothin’ standin’ out fa me, but whateva. My Rating: 3.7


04. “Talk 2 You”
Beat by DJ Mathematics; hope it’s good! >>> Ehh, I dunno about a sample (Keyshia Cole); I don’t like (and don’t get) when people put random samples in songs… As far as your rappin’, there’s not much to say; I think 3:50’s a lil’ too long for a song like this. My Rating: 3.1


05. “Play With Me” Feat. Magnolia Chop
Y.E. Beatz, here. >>> Didn’t know what ta expect at first, but good hook from Magnolia! Still, tha same-soundin’ beats of tha typical music of today? Yawn… But, tha rhymes on tha verses sound good, here. If this iz a mixtape, then why are most of these songs really long? Sick of tha Rick Ross-type shit/quotes on tha 3rd verse; what’s with everyone dickridin’ him? He’s fake; no need to dickride tha fake! My Rating: 3.7


06. “For The People”
Yung Mil beat; not anticipatin’ this length! >>> I’m likin’ tha beat a whole lot; tha hook ain’t too bad on this track… So far, this iz off to an okay start; lemme hear tha verses… Good “internet / Jeezy” part wit tha rhymes; I liked hearin’ dat! You sound a lil’ like The Show on this joint wit tha voice; that’s a plus, Louisiana style! Good outro from a different show (lol) at tha end, too! My Rating: 4.1


07. “She Got Everything”
Y.E. Beatz on this one, again. >>> Ooh, real nice beat start; sounds like it could be played somewhere! I almost thought I was expectin’ EDM music wit tha HQ beginning, but this HQ feel’s got me in tha mood! Strange vocals on tha hook, but this iz nice and catchy, flamin’ hot!! Too bad tha length’s 4:33, smfh! How ‘bout 3:00? Why not 3:01? Great job wit your verses; learn to shrink tha lengths of your mixtape songs!! My Rating: 4.2


08. “Crazy Stupid” Feat. Josh Gates
Lookin’ forward ta this collaboration, wit Y.E. Beatz on tha beat! Hope tha length’s short… *Checks length* Okay, 3:13, that’s reasonable! >>> Good job wit tha hook, here; I’m likin’ this beat a lot, too! Good shit on tha 1st verse, includin’ “smearin’ bitches’ lipstick;” damn! Max Minelli start? I dunno about your verse; hate hearin’ tha word “swag!” What happened to tha word “style,” and straight words? This whole rap world sounds like males kissing each other, these dayz, smh! Lyrics sound a lil’ betta as tha verse continues, but I wasn’t all tha way impressed! My Rating: 3.8


½time: I’m at tha ½ point, and we’re at a 3.8 for tha average CD rating, currently; decent.


09. “Woman” Feat. Jahbo
Ben Rosen on tha beat. >>> Ehh, not feelin’ tha start wit tha singer; tha length’s also gonna get me bored fast… Even though this sounds boring wit tha beat and nothin’ really catchin’ on, it ain’t tha worst… My Rating: 3.1


10. “iPhone”
A Yung Shun beat; let’s hear… >>> Not really into tha topic, that much, but it’s a catchy hook and beat, combined. Tha flow ain’t really for me, but this ain’t too bad, either… Some of it’s good, though, wit tha “got whateva you want, holla at cha boy” shit… My Rating: 3.6


11. “She Don’t Understand”
Y.E. Beatz, here. >>> Random intro? Ugh, tha long length again! This iz so not for me, especially since a Louisiana rapper borrowed $555 from me and didn’t pay me back a penny, yet, and it’s almost a year to tha day! Flow’s nice and slow wit tha beat, but I think what would make me like this (kinda) iz for us to do business; money’s tha only answer for me now, especially since I did 238472903842340238940820423948320423904239049023904239402390423890942384902349023 different things fa Louisiana by now! My Rating: 3.4


12. “Worth Fighting For”
Beat Gaterz beat. >>> Anotha one not for me, even though it’s a lil’ catchy; here we go again wit tha males kissing each other-soundin’ hook! I sound betta sayin’ that I’m pickin’ my nose through this, right now… Oh yea, tha length’s a big turn off fa this random song! My Rating: 3.7 (!!!)


13. “Smash Out”
Y.E. Beatz, here. >>> Length’s finally normal, even though tha beat could be a lil’ betta. I think you need some original production ta back you up… Tha hook sounds catchy, in a somewhat-good mainstream perspective… Tha verses sound good wit this beat, too. My Rating: 3.7


14. “I Get Money” Feat. Mr. Marcelo, Jerkaman & Mr. Real Estate
Y.E. Beatz; even though a nice-lookin’ collaboration, I’m not lookin’ forward to a title like this! >>> Bad intro, but an okay hook. Yucky lyrics on tha 1st verse; “money” iz now a reason why I hate certain mainstream rap shit today! Oh, and false-underground shit, too! Even though this iz super-long, at least there’s features on this! Tha 2nd verse ain’t too bad, except tha extended lyrics about “money.” Tha 3rd dude I can say tha same about… Tha 4th verse has a better voice, and tha lyrics are a lil’ betta… My Rating: 3.9


15. “Make You Love Me”
Legit beat. >>> Ehh, not into a sample again! Doesn’t sound bad wit your rappin’ on this beat, though, but tha sample ain’t too much for me… A lil’ long; this prolly could’ve been a minute shorter. My Rating: 3.0


16. “I’m Gone” Feat. M11
Y.E. Beatz; not feelin’ this length! >>> Ehh, this iz okay… I’m likin’ how you’re comin’ through on tha 1st verse on this beat; sounds like you can hold err-body down… Tha 2nd verse sounds like you’re too obsessed wit “swag” and that males-kissing-each-other word!! Tha 3rd verse ain’t too bad, either, but this could be a lil’ boring wit tha same kinda content… My Rating: 3.3


17. “No Worries (Remix)”
It’s tha last joint on this CD, and it’s removed from tha DatPiff folder. Gonna get a 30-second sample; maybe tha false features (Lil’ Wayne & Detail) are why it’s removed? >>> Too Meek for me, and tha others ruin it! Takin’ them outta tha feature! My Rating: 1.3


Overall: Could’ve been better. If making mixtapes, try shortening tha songs—that’s anotha thing: I dunno why artists only make what they call, “mixtapes,” these dayz. It’s like, what happened to albums? I remember hearin’ on this CD somethin’ like, “Rest in peace Lil’ Phat.” Well, last year, Lil’ Phat put out Never Use A Pen Again; if you guys love him so much, why not make an album like him? I know I’m goin’ on about this, but I wanna go back to tha dayz where there were no mixtapes!! I’ll cry like a fuckin’ baby!! But yea, keep rappin’ and stay connected wit me!
