Review #1,240: CarterBoy Selfmade "Labelmegreat (The Mixtape)"

Reviewed on 12.30.2012 (Review #1,240)


My next review iz an artist by tha name of CarterBoy Selfmade Labelmegreat (The Mixtape). Start Time: 5:43 PM | End Time: 5:52 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. “Can’t Hold It Down”
I wonder how you met DJ B-Real? Seems like he’s on a bunch of tha beats here, includin’ this one… >>> Sounds like a jam. Surprisingly, this beats some of tha shit I previously reviewed, includin’ C-Loc’s new mixtape I just reviewed (smh @ ‘mixtape’). You kinda sound like Boosie, here; what’s up wit tha bloody topics? Kinda unexpected, but I’ll go wit givin’ this a plus… My Rating: 4.2


02. “Don’t Keep It Real”
B-Real again. >>> Not bad, but I don’t like tha Ross flow; why him? If you’re “only 19,” this content sounds a lil’ too much for you? Like, have you fucked anyone yet? Sounds like a good song, overall, once again. My Rating: 4.0


03. “I’m Focused” Feat. Tim Thugga
Iz Tim your only feature? How do people even successfully get features, anyway? B-Real beat. >>> Good hook and you got your focus on lock… Good collaboration, too; seems like you guys can hold notes down good. My Rating: 4.2


04. “Ride Real Slow” Feat. Tim Thugga
B-Real beat. >>> Almost tha same vibe still goin’… My Rating: 4.1


05. “Be Here For You”
Track Slim beat; who’s that? >>> Why’d I hear a “swag” thing in tha beginning, no homo? Your sing-rap thing goin’ on here ain’t too bad, I ain’t gon front… My Rating: 3.9


½time: A 4.1-rated CD, currently; pretty-good…!


06. “Boss” Feat. Tim Thugga
Da French Connect beat; neva heard of him… >>> Still got a good vibe, here, but stop rappin’ like Ross!! My Rating: 4.0


07. “Nobody”
The Union beat; neva heard of them… >>> Not for me; spendin’ less than 20 seconds on this!! My Rating: 1.7


08. “Fly Away”
Looks unanticipatin’, but BJ’s on tha beat; how you have a connect wit him? I thought you were unknown…? >>> Not too bad, overall; it’s a decent song about tha struggle. My Rating: 3.5


09. “Lookin’ Stupid”
B-Real beat. >>> Good production; random hook. I still don’t like that you got tha same flow goin’ on, as well as these cocky lyrics; yuck! My Rating: 3.3


10. “What You Mad For” Feat. Tim Thugga
No listed producer ta end it off… >>> Why a beat tag that was at least a sentence in tha beginning? Fuck, when will these fuckin’ beat tags end so we can get back ta focusin’ on songs?!? Good collaboration; good way of expressin’ and tauntin’ tha other human beings… My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Ehh, okay; you’re built around some original production, at least. There’s more to check out, so I’ll get to it when I can.
