Review #1,226: ZaBaX "Zero One Zero"

Reviewed on 11.04.2012 (Review #1,226)



This next review iz ZaBaX Zero One ZeroStart Time: 10:38 PM | End Time: 10:52 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. “Intro”
>>> Sounds interestin’; lots of consistent rhymes for a white boy! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Hip Hop ‘94”
Iz this when you were born? I think so ‘cause you said, “18,” on tha previous song… >>> You almost sound like Eminem, in a way? Yea, I heard you say you were born in “1994;” very interestin’ rhymes, and now, I know about “Kurt Cobain.” Glad I studied my musical history since, almost, just two years ago! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Ignorance Is Bliss”
>>> “Anger management classes;” you’re a fighter? Feelin’ tha realistic rhymes, here; nice dark theme! My Rating: 4.3


04. “Still Alive” Feat. Droll
>>> This ain’t too bad for a start; nice singin’ on tha hook! Sounds like you can fit in an alternative format on college stations… Okay, tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ betta than tha 1st verse; nice and consistent! My Rating: 4.1


05. “Theme Song”
>>> Not really into tha beat you chose; sounds like typical music you can hear anywhere… Ehh, even some of tha rhymes sound like today’s rap… Good for your consistency and shit, but almost four minutes of this? Naw…; your “ridin’ around like I’m famous” part sounds like a song that was out… My Rating: 3.6


06. “Invincible (Interlude)”
>>> I didn’t expect rappin’, but good job wit your rhymes ova this beat. My Rating: 4.0


07. “Castle Walls”
>>> Catchy hook; hope it ain’t inserted from somewhere else… You got some catchy rhymes goin’ on, here; seems like a struggle in a way. Then again, you’re only 18… My Rating: 4.2


½time: You’re doin’ a nice job wit this CD, here; glad you have effort, enough to get a 4.2 for tha CD rating, currently!!


08. “A Lot On My Mind”
>>> Now, I think it sounds like an inserted hook; not really into that, and how long it iz ‘til tha 1st verse starts… Good rhymes, at times… My Rating: 3.7


09. “He Chose You”
>>> Lots of non-stop rappin’; I like this lil’ vibe you got goin’ on, here… My Rating: 4.2


10. “Bonkers” Feat. Chad Beezy
>>> Nice “jungle” shit you rappin’ about, “eatin’ beetles” and err-thang! Hook’s a lil’ cheesy wit tha repeatin’ shit, but I do like tha monkeys and shit in tha background, lol. As far as Chad on tha feature, ehh, not into these lyrics at all…; very typical, like there’s neva a problem; *yawn*… My Rating: 3.7


11. “Who I Want To Be” Feat. Jordan Favorite
>>> Good singin’ on tha hook; hope me sayin’ dat iz for it bein’ an actual hook, not an inserted one… Once again, soundin’ a lil’ Eminemish wit tha vocals, and you got a good delivery goin’ on, here… Heard tha “N”-word on tha 2nd verse, so tha Jordan person must be on tha feature, as a dude? Either way, not too bad… My Rating: 3.6


12. “64 Bars”
>>> Sounds like a Nas vibe… I like dat “Louisiana voodoo” part; not too bad, overall… Some of this also sounds like Bubba Sparxxx wit tha flow… My Rating: 3.8


13. “You (Interlude)”
>>> Anotha one I didn’t expect to have rappin’, since it’s an interlude…; ehh, this was okay. My Rating: 3.7


14. “Write Your Name”
>>> Inserted hook? I dunno about that… As for your rappin’, it sounds decent; sounds Eminemish toward tha last verse… Hook’s soundin’ nice and spooky! Likin’ it, a lil’! My Rating: 3.9


Overall: Interestin’ CD; good job, and keep it up!
