Review #1,230: J Fletcha "ST2 (Shit Talking 2) (Hosted by DJ Deaf)"

Reviewed on 12.29.2012 (Review #1,230)

Next up, Bayou Boi Entertainment’s J Fletcha ST2 (Shit Talking 2) (Hosted by DJ Deaf). I’m wonderin’, why’s this CD 1:36:11 when only 80 minutes iz allowed on a CD? Guess it never sold any copies? Weird. Start Time: 12:27 PM | End Time: 1:17 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. “ST2 Intro”

>>> Sounds good; a good/somewhat-okay beat from Dot Com, here. Good rhymes, too, about your “shit talking.” My Rating: 3.9

02. “Word Play”

>>> Good rhymes and “word play;” this ain’t bad for a song, overall. My Rating: 3.7

03. “STFU (Shut The Fuck Up)”
>>> Sounds good wit tha title, but you prolly could add some screamin’ and more anger… My Rating: 3.8

04. “That Dirty” Feat. Grind & Goon
>>> This sounds good; likin’ tha collaboration and laidback beat! Tha hook sounds nice wit tha sample, too; everything’s workin’, here… Likin’ how Grind sounds on tha 2^nd verse; reminds me of tha excitement I had for Southern music when I was under 18! As far as your verse (3^rd), it sounds okay, but a lil’ fast for a laidback vibe? My Rating: 4.0

05. “Tired Of This Shit” Feat. Queen Hillary

>>> A lil’ too blah-blah-y for me… Ooh, Queen Hillary said my 2010 song title (“Sleepless Nights”)! Her verse iz a lil’ betta, but this ain’t all tha way up to par fa me… My Rating: 3.3

06. “Hallelujah”
>>> Catchy hook; a catchy song, overall, wit this title and beat! My Rating: 3.9

07. “Ray Wonder”
>>> Sounds a lil’ too 50 Cent-y…; not bad, overall… My Rating: 3.5

08. “Amazon” Feat. Lil’ Deezle

>>> Why are some of these songs long as fuck? This ain’t bad…; tha feature’s okay, too. My Rating: 3.4

09. “First Friday” Feat. Nadaboo

>>> Not likin’ tha jacked style on tha hook; you can be original, now! This aight, but nothin’ really stands out for me… My Rating: 2.8

10. “Antidote” Feat. Lucky Starr

>>> Still, nothin’ really poppin’ off fa me… This iz a lil’ catchy wit tha hook and title part… I’m not into tha feature, here; need somethin’ new and exciting, not tha same shit err-body on! My Rating: 3.6

11. “Airbourne”
>>> This aight; I like tha singin’—I hope it’s real and not jacked! My Rating: 3.5

12. “Ambitions Of A Rider Freestyle” Feat. Rock Dillion

Was ‘bout ta say, I’m completely turned off by this title ‘til I saw that it said, “Freestyle.” >>> See how tha rappin’ ain’t on a Rick Ross/Wayne/Drake flow, here? It’s a beat that makes you sound more normal than these bullshit rappers! Anyway, this iz slightly better than some of tha shit on here. Almost was likin’ tha feature, but their lyrics iz tha blah-blah-type shit from every typical rapper; ahh… Ain’t that disrespectful on a Pac beat? My Rating: 3.3

½time: A 3.6-rated CD, currently.

13. “Knowmsayin”
>>> Took a while for tha hook ta come on, but it sounds a lil’ catchy. Tha verses are ehh…, okay, ova this Dot Com beat. My Rating: 3.4

14. “Dapper” Feat. Ice Man

>>> Nice beat, here, wit tha baseball field-like theme… Lyrics are a lil’ typical, so they’re kinda boring ta me; sometimes, it’s aight… My Rating: 3.5

15. “Elevators” Feat. Ice Man & T-Tyrant

>>> Anotha jacked beat, based off tha title… Not only iz tha length too long, but I don’t think this iz a good way to remake this old OutKast song… Tha features don’t sound that bad; they’re a lil’ betta than you here, Fletch… My Rating: 3.1

16. “Ape Shit”
>>> Sounds good; nothin’ really ta knock, here, on this Big Josh beat. Oh wait, forgot about tha long-ass length, smh; why so long? Prolly could’ve had it 3:20 or somethin’… Well, it’s only 4:04 ‘cause tha rest iz silence; why keep tha silence? My Rating: 4.0

17. “Fly & Flawless” Feat. Dirty Harry & T-Tyrant

>>> Now, tha length’s a lil’ normal (2:55)… Sounds like a catchy song wit tha features; good job, Harry. A lil’ odd wit tha “too many bitches on my dick” part from T; not used ta hearin’ that talk sung… Not bad from you rappin’, too; not bad of a song, overall. My Rating: 3.9

18. “Dope”
>>> I’m not used ta you havin’ drug-related songs…; I think I oughta pass on this, especially since it’s a pointless 4:42 on tha length! My Rating: 2.7

19. “It’s Nothing” Feat. ChaYsuh
>>> A jacked, old Jeezy beat wit a feature? Kinda doesn’t make sense… Sounds really random wit what you’re rappin’, here… An okay feature from ChaY, even though these lyrics are really “nothing” for me. Still, I like how he mentioned “Lil’ Boxx” and his “Full Throttle.” My Rating: 2.6

20. “Onion Booty” Feat. Grind

>>> A Dot Com beat; will there some humor? Ehh, a lil’; this could sound funny if done tha right way, but I’ll just consider it regular…, yawn… I like Grind’s lil’ ad-libs thrown all ova tha place. My Rating: 4.1

21. “I’mma Do Moi” Feat. Nadaboo

>>> Nothing special. My Rating: 2.5

22. “Chitterlings”

>>> I like tha skit in tha beginning, randomly. This song has some good character in it; glad I’m finally hearin’ your character on here! My Rating: 3.9

23. “I’m A Giant” Feat. D.O.T.
>>> Sounds good; what else can I say? My Rating: 3.8

24. “Fell In Love”

>>> Dot Com beat; why do we need to keep hearin’ a beat tag on tha songs? What eva happened to tha dayz where tha artist said tha producer in tha intro (e.g., tha Big Josh production), or even betta: what happened to tracks bein’ a mystery? Like, can we be surprised? WTF, a 2^nd time? Fuck this gayness! A lil’ bit of a bounce vibe, although a lil’ boring for an ending song… My Rating: 3.6

Overall: This was only decent; I think you’re betta at makin’ albums…
