Review #1,269: Sam I Am "The Shake Back"

Reviewed on 2.04.2013 (Review #1,269)


Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’, here’s my next one! Bwoi, am I anticipated fa dis one: Sam I Am The Shake Back!! Money Makers Entertainment in tha buildin’!! What up, Big Scoob?? Start Time: 10:57 AM | End Time: 11:47 AM


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!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,269) reviewed on 2.04.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Intro”
Wasn’t this ‘pose to be first? Maybe it iz, but I’m reviewin’ it 2nd, since it’s tha 2nd song on tha DatPiff tracklisting. I’ll make it tha 1st song, then… Glad you “still” doin’ all this shit! Then again, it’s not like you’re old; you still young! Feelin’ tha 1st verse, here; you comin’ through wit your grimy voice! Ahh, don’t say, “mixtape!” “This” sounds like an album!! Albums are where it’s at!! That’s tha value to me, not no damn “mixtape” shit that everyone drops!! What’s up wit tha 15 seconds of silence at tha end? Glad I know how to take it out! My Rating: 4.5


02. “Bars Or Tabs”
Yummy, lol! >>> ROFL @ this!! Tha beat sounds like a Baton Rouge version of a mainstream-soundin’ beat! However, this iz a hilarious hook!! “Bars or tabs; bars or tabs…!!” ROFL @ your character on tha 1st verse; nothin’ but havin’ power wit dem “bars or tabs,” lol! I’ve neva “been on” any of ‘em, but I definitely “love this song!” LOL @ tha 2nd verse, too; a too-loaded Sam fulla dem “bars [and] tabs,” lol! LOL @ all this knowledge on pillz/“bars”/“tabs” at tha end! My Rating: 4.8


03. “Jaws Locked”
Heard this one before; I think it got a 4.9 for my rating! However, I like dat “Bars Or Tabs” song betta! BTW, what’s up wit tha shitty quality in this version? My Current Rating: 4.8


04. “Bouncing Round The Club”
!!! >>> Sounds like a familiar song, but it might’ve been ‘cause you may’ve said this title in anotha song… Either way, nice beat and you doin’ a good job wit your pill rappin’, lol! Tha 1st verse sounds nice; blends perfect wit tha hook… Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too, strictly wildlin’ out on tha haterz! Why’d it skip at 2:47 or somethin’? And, an almost-cut-off “drug” part; ahh, it’s skippin’!! Maybe, that’s why it left DatPiff when I re-checked tha link? Either way, I hope tha rest of tha songs have a few seconds in ‘em so I can review ‘em! Also, who still gets CDs scratched?? I haven’t had a scratched CD since 2003; get your mind right! My Rating: 4.4


05. “Sweatin’” Feat. D-So
Keepin’ this shit goin’… >>> Ooh, EQ doin’ a nice job on this beat! Crazy “popped a molly, I’m sweatin’” shit in tha hook; crazy shit! You got tha shit goin’ on nicely in tha 1st verse, comin’ through like a wild man!! Tha 2nd verse’s startin’ wit a Tupac-like flow, revising his shit. Usually, I’m not big about revising dead rappers, but you did it nicely wit tha pillz! Ooh, a feature from D-So on tha 3rd verse; good shit, includin’ bein’ anotha pill-poppin’ animal; gotta luv it!! If you don’t luv a pill-poppin’ dude, you fucked up!! I’m talkin’ ‘bout tha ones born before me!! Great shit; luv when you team up wit peeps, Sam! My Rating: 4.7


06. “Thugging & Druggin’” Feat. Parktown Bone
LOL @ tha “druggin’” and “thugging” bein’ different, like, one has a “G” and one has an apostrophe! But, I’m lookin’ forward to a title like this!! >>> Anthemic beat; luv tha repetitiveness in tha hook!! Sam, you a fool wit dat expression shit, where you just express tha shit outta tha titles/topics!! Lots of braggin’, in a good way, on tha 1st verse; keep it goin’, Sam!! You’re very entertainin’!! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good, too; what else can I say wit dis shit? Ooh, I hear a feature comin’ up fa tha 3rd verse; dyin’ ta know who it iz!! Lil’ Wayne? Sounds like him, but tha closest guess I would think of iz Parktown Bone; nice job collaboratin’! Great shit he spittin’; anotha great collaboration! My Rating: 4.6


07. “I Do It” Feat. Mookie Blakk & Benjamin Racks
Let’s see what dis about… >>> Sounds like a Young Hits-type beat start; wonder who’s on tha beat? Oh, didn’t expect it to start wit a feature; shout out ta Mookie Blakk! Interestin’ dat he came through wit a hook fa you, Sam! Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through good on this great beat! Hope you “do it” for me, too! Hearin’ anotha dude on tha 2nd verse; sounds like Dat Boy A? Ooh, “sippin’ on tha green like Luigi—Yoshi;” feelin’ that rhyme! Damn, I don’t know tha dude on tha 3rd verse, either, lol… I guess instead of just puttin’ tha feature as Mookie Blakk, I’ll put Money Makers Ent.; how does that sound? Oh wait, I just heard, “Didn’t you see Racks;” it’s Benjamin Racks on tha 3rd verse!!! Gotta luv it!!! Still, my bad for not knowin’ who tha dude on tha 2nd verse was; if anyone knows, hit me up! My Rating: 4.4


½time: Halfway through this tight-ass CD; keep up tha great, grimy, pill-poppin’ work, Sam, lol!! A 4.6 iz tha CD rating, currently!!!


08. “Get Money”
Not really into this title, but let’s see how you come through on a track like this… >>> Who’s “AD” (producer?)…? I like how tha beat sounds, and tha hook sounds hot! It almost sounds like “money” songs are straight, wit how you come through on it!! Definitely feelin’ it!! I think I feel tha “money” songs if it’s an artist from a while ago, comin’ wit it! Nice job wit tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit dat energy!! “It’s 2010;” okay, thanx for tha info. Nice job wit tha 2nd verse, comin’ from tha struggle to your undaground success! A 1:05 outro? Let’s hear you say what you got ta say, Sam! My Rating: 4.5


09. “That Level” Feat. Mookie Blakk
Finally, a listed ID, lol. However, I thought this was produced by X-Fyle, since it was on his Neighborhood Track Dealer Vol. 1 CD, as well as me havin’ it, previously? >>> Oh, sounds a lil’ different wit EQ; “Rocky Balboa”’s sequel? Funny ‘cause “Rocky Balboa” had an X-Fyle beat and then, a Shonta beat; this had X-Fyle and now, EQ, lol… I have ta say, it still sounds good; pretty much similar? My Rating: 4.3


10. “That’s How We Coming” Feat. Foxx
Keepin’ it goin’, once again! >>> Q-Red on tha beat, here, although I got tha luvly Yannah Valdevit in my mind! ;) Good job wit tha hook, here, Sam; sounds like Foxx in tha background of tha hook? We’ll have ta see as this joint progresses! You’re on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit that crazy-ass shit, once again! Yup, I was right about Foxx; he’s on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit his consistent ass! Nice job; glad you collaborated wit him!! Wasn’t sure if I was gonna hear Q-Red rap on tha 3rd verse, as I predicted, but it’s you! Why iz this shit cleaned up? Sounds gay; inconsistent… My Rating: 4.6


11. “Mojo”
Let’s hear it, fa only 1:49 on tha length! >>> Iz dat TruncMuzik on tha beat, since you said, “Say, Trunc,” in tha beginning? I would assume it iz… Tha beat sounds nice, here, and you comin’ through wit this joint pretty fast! You’re great at makin’ under-two-minute songs, Sam, and you’re still great, here!! Glad you makin’ a weed-type song; you strictly luv dat strong shit, lol! My Rating: 4.5


12. “Don’t Want Beef” Feat. Da Jiggalaters
That’s right! People need ta stop beefin’ and just accept a loss! >>> Nice beat start, includin’ what you got ta say in tha beginning, here… Sounds like a jam on tha hook; glad you turned this kinda title into a jam! Ooh, someone’s joinin’ you on tha beat; I gotta re-hear to hear who it iz… Anyway, you’re on tha 1st verse, comin’ through in an anti-beef perspective, since you “don’t want beef!” Tha voice sounds like one of tha Jiggalaters on tha hook… This 2nd verse sounds like Lil’ Mista Cain; it could be anybody, but that’s my closest guess… A lil’ cocky wit tha lyrics, but it’s aight on this kinda track, especially since you’re on it, Sam! LOL, Mookie Blakk snuck into tha 3rd verse; thumbs up fa him comin’ through wit his character! Good collaboration, once again, Sam! My Rating: 4.5


13. “Tear That Ass Up” Feat. Ronnie B
Ooh, a feature listed; let’s hear this one! >>> Ooh, sounds like a video game in tha beginning; I have a feelin’ tha hook gon be singin’… You’re on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some sexual shit, lol… I was right about tha singin’ on tha hook; sounds good wit tha lyrics, but it’s a lil’ gay, at tha same time. I’ll try ta get adjusted to it, but it’s mostly positive since you’re on it, Sam. Tha 2nd verse sounds like a lotta collidin’ wit your background echoes, lol! LOL @ tha clean ending… My Rating: 4.2


14. “Jaws Locked (Clean)”
LOL @ tha clean version; it’s been a long time since I reviewed a CD wit a clean version on it! See #3 fa tha review!


15. “That Level (Clean)” Feat. Mookie Blakk
That’s two “K”s, accordin’ ta Mookie, himself! Oh wait, this iz tha X-Fyle version; nice lil’ bonus! My Current Rating: 4.3


Overall: I have ta say, this was a real nice CD! I didn’t expect tha clean versions ta end it off, but you did tha damn thang on here!! Also, I like tha CD cover a lot; goes ta show you dat you always gon be on fire!!!
