Review #1,320: Kareem "Everlasting"

Reviewed on 9.04.2013 (Review #1,320)


Got two reviewz that randomly came up, just now. This one, from Bumaye Music Group, iz Kareem Everlasting. I found this CD by goin’ through Percy Keith’s Instagram account: http://instagram.com/p/a_fPlVOGR8/#
So, we’ll see how this goes! Start Time: 11:25 AM | End Time: 12:06 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! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. “Merry Go Round”
Lil’ Austin, now known as AustinRashaad, doin’ tha beat. >>> Feelin’ tha beat. Though listed as “AustinRashaad,” he still uses tha same beat tag. You sound a lil’ like a newer version of Young Bleed while talkin’ on tha intro… Though this sounds good, I’m not at all into all these “money” references. Like, how many times you gon say tha word, “money”? Way too obsessed!! Wow, tha hook doesn’t say it 10,000x? Too bad tha rating gon suck ‘cause I do really like tha beat, but tha lyrics are so not for me at all! My Rating: 2.8


02. “Green Dreams”
Cam beat. >>> This sounds okay. Again, anotha good beat, on a different level. My Rating: 3.3


03. “Everlasting World” Feat. Theron
Klassic beat. >>> Long intro, here… Beat’s a lil’ boring for me. Tha rhymes ain’t bad, too; sounds one-dimensional, though. Like, why do dudes always have other dudes “hatin’” on each other? It’s like, how much music I gon hear about tha same shit? My Rating: 3.0


04. “JBC”
Ken On The Track (Lil’ Ken?) beat. >>> Nice beat, and catchy hook, here… Okay rhymes, once again. They could be better, though. Why iz everyone so focused about “headin’ to tha top”? My Rating: 3.1


05. “Threat”
Klassic beat. >>> I kinda like how this New York-soundin’ beat sounds… Rhymes sound good, too. Tha hook sounds pretty nice, here… My Rating: 3.6


06. “1Up” Feat. MME
Decky beat. Obviously, this person’s not Decky Boy, as tha error was listed on Percy Keith’s Compliments Of Luca Brasi CD. However, since I was randomly threatened by this “Decky” dude on Twitter, I cannot leave any feedback on any of tha production until a full apology, as well as a nice amount of money + doin’ services with me! >>> Feelin’ how you comin’ through on this one. Tha hook sounds catchy wit all that “up, up, and away we goin’” shit. This sounds like a good collaboration, too. My Rating: 3.9


07. “They Know”
Klassic beat. >>> A regular, okay song; catchy hook and beat, too. My Rating: 3.4


08. “Yako”
Decky beat. >>> Good randomness, here. Not feelin’ tha “everlasting money for life”-perspective hook. My Rating: 2.7


09. “UFO”
AJ Beats beat. >>> Nothing new; it’s a lil’ catchy wit tha flow on tha hook, minus tha “see me stackin’” shit. My Rating: 3.2


10. “Everyday Struggle”
Ken On The Track beat. >>> Not into tha sample in tha beginning… Why do people still do that in their beats? Good perspective from you, on this track; not bad… My Rating: 3.5


½time: A lil’ decent/below-average for me, so far. Nothing too bad, but nothing striking my mind, yet. A 3.3 for tha CD rating, currently.


11. “Manila Bay”
Chemist beat. >>> This beat sounds okay. Why you obsessed with this “everlasting money”? My Rating: 3.0


12. “Separation Anxiety”
“Seperation” iz spelled wrong; it’s “Separation”. Anyway, AJ Beats beat. >>> 4:39 on tha length? This intro sounds real calm for a long length to be successful with me… Once again, not bad with how you comin’ through with this. Sounds like “thankin’ ‘bout” people helps your “anxiety,” here? Also, a lil’ outro wit a different beat, here, on tha radio… My Rating: 2.6


13. “Lean On Me” Feat. Que
Ken On The Track beat. >>> This calm vibe sounds good. I like tha “sizzurp” shit and how you deliverin’ it, here. Tha 2nd verse has a different kinda flow from tha 1st verse. Sounds decent; can’t deny it… My Rating: 4.0


14. “Young Pilots”
Klassic beat. >>> Anotha calm vibe, and this sounds good, too. Once again, you have a Young Bleed-type of voice, which sounds a lil’ catchy, in your perspective. I like your “coast to coast” vibe on tha hook… My Rating: 3.7


15. “Electric Relaxation” Feat. Big B
AJ Beats beat. >>> Feelin’ tha beat, here. Definitely a nice “relaxation!” Tha hook sounds pretty nice, too! “Ride!” Ooh, this Fat Pat-soundin’ dude (Big B) on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a consistent delivery of lyrics, here! My Rating: 4.2


16. “Full Metal Jackets” / “Mista Cain Freestyle
Ty Jones beat. >>> This sounds pretty nice; a good vibe, once again, fa tha laidback ones. WTH? Why iz this Mista Cain dude at tha end, freestylin’? Random, but good. My Rating: 4.1


17. “The E$Y”
Decky beat. >>> A catchy hook; let’s see what we got fa tha 1st verse… Okay, already turned off wit tha “if money ain’t tha topic” starting line, smfh! Just decent lyrics, here… My Rating: 3.1


18. “Fam (ily)”
Decky beat. >>> Real long intro, here… A real slow vibe, here; a lil’ too slow for me… Boring for me, overall. My Rating: 2.5


19. “Remember Me”
Klassic beat. >>> A smooth vibe, here… It’s all about people remembering you on tha hook. I feel this, but am hoping I drop outta tha center of most of these peoples’ minds, real soon! No one takes me serious anymore, smh. My Rating: 3.3


20. “Sober Thoughts”
Ken On The Track beat. >>> This iz an okay vibe. A lil’ slow, and a lil’ on a “hate bein’ sober” level… Tha ending sounds a lil’ different, here; nice beat… My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Not really tha kinda CD for me, but it’s not terrible.
