Review #1,341: Lee Banks "All Eyez On Lee"

Reviewed on 12.04.2013 (Review #1,341)


Time ta get back into these reviewz… I have time, but I’m four dayz behind, now… Here’s my review for Lee Banks All Eyez On Lee. A former Short Bus Boy, now with Bad Azz Entertainment, it looks like? Interesting; wonder how that came about? Iz it ‘cause you were born tha same exact week as Big Wayne? I don’t get tha 161,647 mixtape views, though; that’s way too high? Start Time: 10:41 AM | End Time: 11:11 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! 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. “Love Don’t Live Here”
Not really feelin’ tha Madonna title, despite that bein’ my all-time favorite artist. >>> Weird how I was right about Madonna, and it’s a fucked-up version of her on tha sample/hook… Kinda icky for a Heisman sample, but tha beat’s pretty nice… Rhymes are good; you always have that voice fa tha streetz! Now that I’m hearin’ tha hook for tha 2nd time, it sounds catchy fa this. I have ta admit, nice blend between everything! My Rating: 4.4


02. “Get U A Body”
I don’t remember if I remember tha original version; it prolly sounds tha same as tha remix, I assume? >>> Oh yea, B-Real on tha beat… Yea, thumbs up fa this jam! My Current Rating: 4.5


03. “Been Gettin’ Paper”
Q-Red beat. Of course, you already know I’m not permitted to comment on tha production, so let’s see how you do! BTW, why ain’t B-Real or Heisman on tha filenames as producers? C’mon; gotta show luv ta err-body, not someone who’s self-absorbed, gets offended by numbers, deletes comments and can’t handle followin’ someone! >>> Now, tha sample iz Young Jeezy. Though I’m not into money songs at all, I have to admit, wit a throwback Young Jeezy sample, it sounds good when you’re on it… LOL @ tha “crusty; disgusting” shit on tha 1st verse; nice… I’m feelin’ your attitude! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Lost Souls” Feat. Banga
>>> I’m feelin’ tha cold, dark vibe wit tha production; nice how you comin’ through wit this… Tha feature’s good, too; finally, a rapper that doesn’t rap about stupid-ass money! My Rating: 4.3


05. “Blood Thicker”
Lil’ Ken on tha beat… >>> Nice! Almost sounds like Juvenile or DJ B-Real sampled on tha hook; definitely feelin’ it! Consistent rhymes! My Rating: 4.5


06. “Ride Wit Me” Feat. Donkey
Some Bad Azzness… >>> Sounds serious fa you ta rap on…; once again, you holdin’ it down fa tha streetz! Catchy Jamaican-soundin’ hook from Donkey! I think that’s him… This might be him on tha 3rd verse… Either way, feelin’ tha aggression! Consistency at its finest!! My Rating: 4.6


07. “War” Feat. Zoe & Ree-Up
Nice collab, it looks like! >>> Anotha Jamaican-soundin’ hook… This sounds good, too, but tha otha hook was better… You sound good wit your verse, stayin’ focused and at a regular pace… Nice ta have Zoe Realla on tha 2nd verse! Comin’ through wit some nice, undaground, 225-soundin’ shit! Tha 3rd verse iz Ree-Up (y’all forgot tha dash in his name), comin’ through wit regular rhymes; it fits here, but you & Zoe were better… My Rating: 4.4


08. “Mirror”
>>> Sounds like a catchy, real-soundin’ song. I like tha hook and how you come through wit this beat behind you… I can feel it, includin’ my uncertain future! My Rating: 4.5


09. “Church”
>>> Not diggin’ this speech (Tupac?) in tha beginning… I’d prefer you just do you; you don’t need any samples or anything ‘cause you’re too good ta be defended… Tha hook’s a lil’ boring for tha content, for me. This ain’t that bad for me, overall… My Rating: 3.7


½time: Very consistent, so far; no bullshit! A 4.4-rated CD, currently!


10. “Tonight”
>>> I like how tha length’s only 2:38; why can’t every song be that length? Don’t need a ton of jointz or a length through tha roof! Anyway, this a nice, Bun B-like jam, as far as tha production goes! It sounds like you workin’ that wood grain wheel nicely, mixed wit your real-life rhymes! BTW, today, six years: R.I.P. Pimp C! First eva tribute video I made (got it featured on my YouTube’s trailer, today)! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Let Me Know” Feat. April Showers
Bringin’ some snow showers (hopefully soon), where I’m at! It might be almost 60 tomorrow, based off of rain! Random for December! >>> A Wodieson production (why not listed?). Not really into tha start at all, especially that whiny-crying… Not too bad, overall, but this kinda content ain’t really for me, as far as high ratings. I just heard Angel Haze on MCU, and hearin’ this April Showers girl on tha 3rd verse kinda gives me a reminder of her, a lil’. Not too bad; it ain’t bad… My Rating: 3.5


12. “Boaw” Feat. Cupid
Not anticipatin’ this feature, despite tha title… >>> Wow, very laidback, here; thought this would be a club banga… Not bad, but too R&B for me/a ‘mixtape’. When y’all gon think of an album? This would belong there! My Rating: 2.7


13. “Listen”
>>> Catchy beat, here. Feelin’ your rhymes about real life, once again. My Rating: 4.2


14. “Tear Da Floor Up”
Club banga? >>> Yea, this iz more like it, unlike tha Cupid feature! Sounds nice; nothin’ really ta say about this, as tha club vibe says it all! My Rating: 4.3


15. “Bluffin’” Feat. Young Shine
>>> Good street shit, here; I like tha Racked-Up Ready vibe. As long as you don’t sound like a sellout, or wannabe-sellout, then things’ll be good. Always stay in ya lane! And, as far as Shine, it sounds good, Bus Boy Entertainment style, wit gangsta shit, this time! My Rating: 4.0


16. “Crucifixion”
>>> Sounds nice. Tha hook sounds like some classic-soundin’ BR shit wit tha title at tha end of tha hook! Consistency, here! My Rating: 4.2


17. “Mouth Off (G-Mix)” Feat. Mista Cain & Lil’ Ernest
Looks outdated for a mix, in my opinion? Then again, I can see why ‘cause it’s a bonus… >>> Lil’ Ken, of course, on tha track. Yea, last year’s sadly in tha past for me. I tried to carry its torches, but when doors close, there’s no way to be happy about it, anymore. I’m ready fa tha future! But, as far as you & Ernest, it sounds nice! I still don’t get tha whole killing obsession/carry-a-gun-at-all-times obsession. It’s like, why do all y’all have ta have interactions wit people? I don’t interact wit no one; gotta live my life! My Rating: 4.3


18. “Get U A Body (G-Mix)” Feat. Shell (Young Thugga), Mista Cain, Smitti, Young Shine & Racked-Up Ready
I remember…; Mobb Ties! Anotha bonus… My Current Rating: 4.6


Overall: Nice job; I can’t complain, here. Keep stayin’ consistent. When you gon get a commercial from me or somethin’? You gotta be sick of all these so-called BR people not gettin’ commercials or anything from me, right? Like, don’t you wanna outshine ‘em all?
