Review #1,345: Lil' Rocket "The Launch Mixtape Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 12.06.2013 (Review #1,345)

Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’, here’s Slauter House Entertainment’s Lil’ Rocket The Launch Mixtape Vol. 1. Just wondering, why a ‘mixtape,’ all tha time? Start Time: 10:38 AM | End Time: 10:59 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. “Intro”

>>> SMH @ “Teach Me How To Dougie” beat? You know I gon skim through this, then! Random rhymes; not for me… My Rating: 1.3

02. “Gettin’ Money” Feat. Kendall

Horrible title!! >>> Fuck this a-tune shit!! It’s 2x worse when it’s a-tune and “money,” together!! My Rating: 1.0

03. “Don’t Give A Fuck” Feat. Slauter

>>> Good beat, good vibe. Feelin’ your rhymes on tha 1^st verse; you’re really inta tha vibe, here! I always think it’s so gay how people kill people “over lil’ thangz.” It’s like, why do err-body like fightin’? Tha Slauter feature sounds nice, too… My Rating: 4.2

04. “Play No Games” Feat. Q-Black, HoodBoyz & Ernest

From this song on, tha track #’s are different. Looks like it says there’s 15 songs, but I only got 14? Since I only have 14, I’ll consider this Track 4, not Track 5. >>> ROFL, didn’t even recognize this title, at first… Once again, Young Hustla track. My Current Rating: 4.7

05. “Hollywood” Feat. Gangsta

>>> Some production from Heisman, here. Likin’ tha beginning wit how you comin’ through, here, on tha hook! See, this iz more like it! I dunno what was goin’ through your mind wit tha first two jointz!! Nice job wit this shit, although a lil’ long? Good appearance from Gangsta, too! My Rating: 4.4

06. “Who Can I Run To”
>>> Gay start; I don’t fuck wit stupid pitched-up samples like this! Not really for me, overall, wit tha havin’-a-hard-time-in-a-relationship content. My Rating: 1.6

07. “Top Rope” Feat. Q-Black & Slauter

>>> Good start wit Deezy On Da Beat doin’ tha track, here. Nice hook! Feelin’ tha energy y’all bringin’ to tha table! I dunno why you keep throwin’ me off wit tha wack tracks on here! It’s like, you go from wack, all tha way ta somethin’ nice! Feelin’ that dude on tha 2^nd verse a lot, despite them soundin’ like Level’s disappeared-ass. Tha 3^rd verse iz nice, too; gotta luv tha 225 feel wit bein’ on all dem drugz! My Rating: 4.8

½time: Wow, half tha jointz suck bad on here, while tha other jointz go hard as fuck! Weird mix, leadin’ to only a 3.1 for tha CD rating, currently.

08. “Party Pack”
>>> Anotha crazy vibe, here! Could only imagine what a “40 pack of pillz” looks like! I wonder when I’ll eva see that? Luv how this iz so short; good thinkin’! My Rating: 4.4

09. “Reason” Feat. Bengie Bee & Q-Black
>>> Couldn’t catch tha tag in tha beginning, but this sounds good, so far… Tha hook sounds nice, and you comin’ through nicely on tha 1^st verse! Good shit on tha 2^nd verse, too, as y’all keepin’ it gangsta. This kinda long, compared to tha previous joint, but whateva… “Still a jiggalater”? Don’t give up, Bengie! I dunno how many more years it gon take fa me ta hit Baton Rouge up! Here’s that hyped-up Q-Black on tha 3^rd verse! He must be tha best on this CD! I’m always inta his energy!! My Rating: 4.5

10. “Stripper” Feat. TreeHead

Yuck @ tha feature… >>> *Skips* My Rating: 1.0

11. “Bolt Loose” Feat. B-Raw & Ville Boyz

Why tha B-Raw feature? I’m sick of doin’ these reviewz, and there’s at least one insecurity on each CD I review! >>> Got some Haney on tha beat! Hook caught me off-guard. Surprisingly, I’ll have ta admit that it’s not bad! Tha 1^st verse even caught me off-guard, too… All I have ta say iz that tha ID should be flipped, and Ville Boyz should be toward tha end. Tha 2^nd verse sounds good, until all tha “B-Raw” references come outta nowhere… It’s like, how obsessed can y’all be?! Scary…; I bet this obsession just slides like it’s nothin’, smh! I’m sure he’d get a boner knowin’ that I’m quittin’ tha music-promoting soon! Wishes do come true, it seems like? Just waitin’ for that door to open! Too many broke dudes who don’t acknowledge me! That’s what’s ‘cool’ in this business, sadly! My Rating: 3.5 (would’ve been as high as a 4.4, but that 2^nd verse really threw me off!)

12. “Flick” Feat. Q-Black

>>> Wow, this sounds like pure garbage, though tha beat ain’t bad! How iz this ‘mixtape’ music? Next! My Rating: 1.2

13. “Take A Leave”
>>> Gay!!! My Rating: 1.0

14. “S.H. Shout Out (R.I.P. Lil’ Phat)” Feat. Q-Black
Not really feelin’ tha second part of tha title; I just don’t anticipate celebrating deaths, anymore. I can see if it was a family member or somethin’… >>> A new tag fa Deezy On Da Beat… Wow, as much as I didn’t anticipate this, this, at least, iz hyped-up! I don’t really feel when today’s rappers are sampled on hooks. I can see where you’re comin’ from, since this iz a “Shout Out.” I guess I’ll let it slide… Tha 1^st verse sounds like you know what’s goin’ on. Almost a lil’ obsessed wit Phat, here, but of course, you’re ‘typical’ amongst peers, so everything slides with you… Commentin’ you wit his shout out: It’s not like I made a song wit Nu$$ie shoutin’ me out. Sounds like Q-Black on tha 2^nd verse; not listed? At least he comin’ through wit crazy shit! I thought this was a bangin’ joint; nice job! My Rating: 4.6

Overall: Very mixed… Either tha jointz were real, real good, or real, real horrible! It’s like, you wanted tha best of tha best and tha worst of tha worst, together! Weird mix…
