Review #1,340: Goon (HB Clique) "Hanover City Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 12.02.2013 (Review #1,340)


Got ya boy FrankieThaLuckyDog here, finna review my boy, outta Hanover, Maryland, Goon (HB Clique) Hanover City Vol. 1! I’m not sure how good this gon be, but I’m doin’ a live review of it ‘cause this Goon was a former classmate of mine! We went to tha Lack together, where he was known as Primetime Sykes. So, without further or do, let’s get inta this! Hanover, stand up!! Start Time: 1:34 PM | End Time: 3:07 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!!

© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,340) reviewed on 12.02.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Amigo”
What will we start this thang off wit? >>> Don’t tell me there’s auto-tune in tha beginning? No………………………………………………………………………………………… Tha beat coulda qualified for somethin’ good, but I don’t think I’m gonna buy this… Technically, I would skip this, but since this iz tha first song, I’ll let tha whole thang play. Your vocals SUCKSUCK!!! I can’t even pay attention to tha lyrics right now ‘cause you’re brainwashed by auto-tune!!! A “Demi Lovato” reference? I dunno; nah… This would’ve been almost decent without tha auto-tune! What made you wanna use an effect that sounds like a dude masturbatin’ in anotha dude’s ear?!? Okay, that voice at 2:55 has ta go!!! My Rating: 1.0


02. “California Dope” Feat. Cali Green
You randomly Facebook’d me this video, and I checked it out. I did leave good feedback, but once again, tha auto-tune got in tha way! Lemme give it a review-review, right now: >>> This ain’t that bad wit tha auto-tune’d hook; it’s not wack like tha first song… Yea, this Cali Green dude on tha 1st verse ain’t spittin’ nothin’ special, here; I’d rather hear it be 100% about “California dope” than other shit err-body be on… Here you are on tha 2nd verse wit a normal voice, at least!! Of course, I luv your rhymes about hatin’ “bein’ sober,” but not really too much about tha “money” shit… Either way, you know I’d luv ta roll one up wit you one day, ya feel me? My Current Rating: 2.7


03. “Better Tell Somebody”
>>> Tha beginning sounds exactly like a combination of songs 1 & 2! Iz this really you? Like, c’mon, wit tha gay-soundin’ voice, here! Why can’t you have tha voice like you had on “California Dope”?! Yada…--yada…--yada…; your rhymes are puttin’ me to sleep… You recycled your “California Dope” hook toward tha end of tha 1st verse wit tha “smokin’ dope from California;” I don’t fuck wit recycled rhymes!! I can’t wait ‘til you see this! You gon think I’m a hater!!! Yea, couldn’t’ve said it betta: “I don’t give a fuck and a shit!!” What’s wit all tha life-of-tha-party-type supastar rhymes on tha 2nd verse? Like, does it 100% of tha time have ta be about havin’ “bitches on [your] dick?” Or, whateva you’re sayin’, here…? My Rating: 1.0


04. “Dopeman”
Okay, so it looks like you wanna be based off of one song? Just a “California Dope” Sykes? What about a Hanover Sykes? >>> *Webbie’s “What I Do” comes on Music Choice: Rap* Go join each other wit this auto-tune shit!! I assume this iz a feature on tha 1st verse? Can’t really feel these rhymes, here, from this feature. It sounds like they rap about what everyone else raps about, and I can’t picture any of it… Why all tha “money” shit? Like, if you have a lot of it, you should get some videos, beats, etc. from me!! Okay, drug-type shit on tha 2nd verse; I’m feelin’ it a lil’ better… Tha dude on tha 3rd verse sounds good; I like how he sells “weed;” a lil’ betta, but internet-type rap at its finest, here. What I mean by that iz tha internet beat vs. rhymes from tha unknown. My Rating: 2.2


05. “Rick Rude”
Tha title looks a lil’ creative, based off a name? Then again, how will it sound? >>> Okay, now when there’s no auto-tune, tha quality’s a lil’ shitty, here, on tha audio… It sounds way too loud… But, it’s makin’ me jigg a lil’, lol… Sounds like a feature on tha 1st verse… Not really feelin’ their rhymes; again, it’s on a typical basis of what everyone else sounds like… I like tha beginning of tha 2nd verse wit tha “I’m high as fuck,” but then, tha “bitches” come outta nowhere. Sounds too much like everyone else when you’re combining tha same shit! It even sounds like Future on tha flow, a lil’; ugh! Tha 3rd hook sounds a lil’ off-beat; not a good look! Off-beat!!! My Rating: 2.5


06. “Spazz Out”
This could be a good joint if you handle it right!! >>> No……… @ tha intro!! *Skips* My Rating: 1.0


07. “Calculator”
Again, this could be a good joint if you handle it correctly!!! >>> I think that’s you in tha beginning. Okay, finally, somethin’ normal, here… It sounds like a catchy hook wit how you’re “faded” and shit. Sounds like you luv “gettin’ money.” Well, I got robbed a few years ago, and I’m allergic ta hearin’ obsessions wit “money!” “I get paid, like, everyday;” sounds like a regular job. Sounds so simple, here… I mean, you can’t really complain; it’s just okay with very limited lyrics… To Mr. Goon: Don’t feel peer-pressured!! It almost sounded like somebody sneezed before tha 2nd verse, or was that me playin’ Parasite Eve? I dunno… Vocals got a lil’ gayer on tha 2nd verse, here; just let go of tha auto-tune!! I swear, it sounds like somebody sneezed before tha hook ended; how different, but for a “calculator”? My Rating: 2.8


08. “Lebron”
>>> Sounds like too loud quality again, based off tha beginning… Unfortunately, I’m skippin’ ‘cause tha quality sucks and there’s auto-tune again!!! Too much!!! My Rating: 1.0


½time: Unfortunately, this ain’t off to a great start… Tha main cause iz tha auto-tune! Why can’t you just sound like those freestyles you posted on your Facebook, back in 2007? Those got buku spins on my iPod and even made my 2008 year-end countdown!! You did ya thang; there was no auto-tune on ‘em!! I showed you luv… So, chuck tha auto-tune, fix your quality on tha jointz, and things’ll be aight/better! For now, it’s a pathetic 1.8 for tha CD rating!


09. “Kiss My Ass”
I bet this iz how we both feel… You prolly hate my ratings right now, and you know that I hate tha auto-tune!! Regardless, I hope this turns out good… >>> Tha beginning sounds anticipatin’… Okay, this sounds great; it sounds like you, and I’m definitely feelin’ tha “smell like shit” part! You really got it goin’ on, here!! Yes, no auto-tune!! Actually, yes, smh! “Kiss my ass” iz what I’m sayin’!! Really feelin’ tha hook, but this 1st verse sounds bad with tha auto-tune… It could’ve been a lil’ better if it wasn’t for tha auto-tune… I always luv your “weed” references! Also, how you hold tha note on “ass” durin’ tha hook; gotta luv it!! Unfortunately, I’m not too thrilled wit tha 2nd verse… I can’t take tha auto-tune!!! It’s not tha worst; I’m prolly gonna rate this tha highest, it looks like? My Rating: 3.0


10. “Loud Pack”
I know your birthday iz next week, so happy ‘early’ birthday from ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog! As far as this “loud pack,” again, it could go great! Just don’t fuck it up wit auto-tune!! >>> Wow, a different effect on tha vocals; I like how it sounds like a rocket’s goin’ off! I’ll give ya props fa dat! Nice hook; I like how it sounds, once again! Kinda like Juicy J where “all [you] smoke iz loud,” he’s like, “All I blow iz loud!” Tha dude on tha 1st verse sounds good; I like tha slower flow, as well as all this great “sticky;” *slurps* Even some “pillz poppin’;” that’s what’s “poppin’!” This dude claims that “all [his] bitches look like Angelina… Jolie;” fa real? Seems like an auto-positive attitude, which iz what err-body be on, these dayz… Always smokin’ tha “California”? Like, iz that where you get your weed from? ‘Cause Cali iz on tha opposite side of us, ya feel me? That’s a great connect, if so… Got a Miley-like “twerking” “girl on [their] iPhone” on tha 2nd verse, here… Kinda sounds auto-positive, but I’m glad that they’re in a fucked-up state of mind from dat good! It even sounds like they’re high rappin’, right now; that’s what’s up! Gotta luv when you’re high! My Rating: 2.9


11. “Rocky”
>>> Sounds like more auto-tune garbage… Sounds way too simple; didn’t you take notes from my debut single, “Who I Am”? I know this ain’t you on tha 1st verse or hook, but your peeps should take notes! Not feelin’ tha rhymes at all; there’s nothin’ that stands out! At least identify yourself! Like, who could this be? What are you about?? This song sounds like it could be a mainstream song goin’ wrong… Like, it reminds me of a mix between an auto-tuned fuck-up vs. a snap song! “Miley Cyrus” and “mollywhopping.” Hmm…, that twerkaholic always seems ta get in tha mix, right? Right? Really descriptive between tha “pussy” and tha “cock,” like a cobra or somethin’, on this 2nd verse. Sykes, sounds like you got a great life goin’ on, I assume? My Rating: 1.6


12. “Jesse James, James Jones”
What to expect wit these names? Gee, that rhymes wit tha title… >>> More shitty auto-tune, here… Sounds like a familiar song from not too long ago wit tha “‘bout a move” shit… Not really into tha “gun” shit—oh God, “gun” and auto-tune neva go together!!! Nowhere near gangsta!!! As much as you say tha title on tha hook, it just sounds like you’re sayin’ words for tha hell of it—words, not raps!! Wow, a “big-ass SK” on tha 2nd verse? Can I see a pic? Either way, nothin’ special at all… Can that hook turn into somethin’ funny, based off tha “Jesse James, James Jones! Jesse James, James Jones?” My Rating: 1.2


13. “Dunk On Your Bitch”
Once again, could be an entertainin’ joint if you don’t fuck it up!! >>> Sounds like tha coolest beat start outta tha 13 jointz I’ve heard, so far… I really hope you don’t use no auto-tune, please?! Goon, set it off!! Yes, no auto-tune!! Rhymes sound good, here. You and your “weed,” mixed wit them bitches! I hear your lips before tha 2nd verse; sounds like you’re either fuckin’, or puttin’ your lips on a great dutch? Wow, “nutted twice,” and then, you “quit”? One-hitta-quitta, or should I say, two-hitta-quitta!! I like how there’s no hook; finally, some sense in your brain to create somethin’ betta!! Ooh, to your “condo at 3:00 in tha mornin’;” glad you be up in tha AM hours! You must be a fun dude ta hang out with. I know we didn’t hang out much, but now that I have wheels and shit, you neva know! There should be a reunion or somethin’, ya dig?! FYI: I’m not “dissin’;” I’m just keepin’ it real! Rememba dat! My Rating: 3.2


14. “Rider”
Prolly won’t be near as good as Chief Keef & Wiz Khalifa’s “Rider” (nice and autistic like me), but we’ll see how you ride on this joint! >>> Anotha cool beat you chose; just don’t fuck it up! Long intro with talkin’ has me curious… Well, looks like you’re suckin’ dick on this one wit that shitty-ass auto-tune!! C’mon: You can’t combine whips and drugs wit auto-tune!!! Tha rest of tha verse ain’t too bad; I love how you’re threatenin’ people if they fuck wit you tha wrong way… This dude on tha 2nd verse sounds normal wit his voice, at least! Not at all into tha “money” shit. Also, why iz it that tha dudes always hate? Can’t err-body show luv? Like, “bitches on my dick,” and then, “dudes hatin’ on me;” I hate when people be on that same shit ‘cause it’s boring!! People can’t be self-absorbed; ya gotta go out tha box and show luv ta others! That’s what I did at tha Lack, and even though I failed with gettin’ friends, I know that my reputation iz there—well, mainly in Louisiana. I show luv ta many, and 100s know about me!! Maybe, even 1000s!! My Rating: 1.8


15. “Notice HB Clique” Feat. YC Money Hungry
So, I guess y’all all reppin’ on this joint? FYI: It doesn’t show tha features on each track, but Slim, Carress, Cali Green & YC Money Hungry are who’s all on this CD—mixtape, right? I know y’all luv usin’ tha term “mixtape!” Anyway, let’s hear what tha whole HB Clique has ta say! >>> I guess we’re hearin’ “YC Money Hungry” for tha first time? I can’t really comment on that name; why “money?!” Sounds like it was recorded in a basement or somethin’? Really deep down in tha ground… At least it’s not a gay voice! Sounds like they’re “‘bout dat action,” here. A lil’ off-beat, at times, but it’s not terrible. As much as this was on an aight path, it fucks up wit this dude on tha 2nd verse, usin’ some gay-ass auto-tune!! Also, tha fast rappin’ doesn’t really fit… Most of tha times these dayz, tha fast rappin’ has been wack. People just spit off tha top so fast like it’s a talent. You’re not Twista!! My Rating: 2.1


16. “Takeover (Know Us)”
Only 2:10? Fa a song that looks like it gon be tha whole clique, I dunno about this short length… We’ll have ta see what happens, here… >>> Anotha nice beat you chose, but hearin’ these vocals on tha 1st verse, it sounds so quiet… Can’t ya tune tha volume up, like those blasted jointz from before? Kinda like random rappin’, here… Tha flow iz startin’ ta sound like Chief Keef, now, on tha hook… Wow, that was very short. You really didn’t need ta have a long song, as well as havin’ so many jointz on this CD… My Rating: 2.4


17. “Shooting Movies”
With 5:48 on tha length, it looks like y’all all are on here? Also, I like this title ‘cause my major at my 2nd college was in Production—video production! Let’s see how we gon end this mixed-up CD? >>> Okay, it sounds like a fatter dude on tha 1st verse, here; I’m likin’ how they came through on tha hook, I mean! Y’all and tha chicks; seems like y’all have ta have ‘em referenced in every joint on here? Tha rhymes ain’t really for me/that good, here, and I don’t like tha auto-tuned background vocals!! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, again, but not tha background vocals!! If it’s “Ashton,” then, that’s you, Goon! Just get rid of tha auto-tune!!! Why I ain’t got your latest “cell-phone” numba? I asked you for it… We talked in 2008, but why I ain’t got it now? You know you want me ta produce fa you, right?! $100 a beat I charge! Tha 3rd verse sounds like a mess, between tha rhymes and tha vocals—mainly, tha background ones. Sounds like a brainwashed dude on tha 4th verse… This auto-tune ain’t fa me at all!!! FUCK AUTO-TUNE!!! Sounds like someone fucked up Baton Rouge’s Beezy Bird, based off of how this dude sounds; not for me at all! Sounds like y’all good at makin’ sex tapes? Based off this title, that’s what these “movies” must be ‘bout? No “five-star”ness here, unfortunately! Yes, “bullshit,” when you have fuckin’ auto-tune on your fuckin’ vocal cords!!! Props to that “Lumberjack Mane;” at least his voice iz normal, and sounds like a cool dude! My Rating: 1.1


Overall: Unfortunately, this CD was garbage ta me. See, if you didn’t have tha fucked-up auto-tune on you and your clique’s vocals, then, this prolly would’ve been a lil’ better… Well, maybe a whole point-of-an-average-CD-rating better! I do wish you luck in becomin’ better, or just goin’ back to your freestylin’ dayz of ’07! Those were great times! Don’t claim that I’m hatin’ on you; I fucks wit you. I wanna keep hearin’ what you got goin’ on. Just get better wit tha music, open your mind a lil’ more, and don’t limit what you wanna spit! With that bein’ said, fuck wit me!
