Review #1,369: DJ Fletch & Gunplay "Inglorious Bastard: The Prelude To Valkyrie"

Reviewed on 1.23.2014 (Review #1,369)


My bad for delayin’ this for hours… My uncle came over to visit, and I’m freaking out about tha place I interned at ignoring me and not hiring me, 18 months later! It’s almost like Gunplay leavin’ Maybach Music Group and then, 18 months later, labels not answering/Gunplay never bein’ signed; it’s a terrible, losing-star-power feeling I’m goin’ through. :( But, lemme try and get my focus off that… Next up, a review for a mixtape released back on January 1, 2011: DJ Fletch & Gunplay Inglorious Bastard: The Prelude To Valkyrie; let’s see what we got, here…!! Start Time: 8:49 PM | End Time: 9:50 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. Intro
Let’s hear it!! >>> You and tha triple-letter rhymes; gotta luv it!! Great intro wit that beat!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Rollin’” Feat. Waka Flocka
Ooh… >>> I’m diggin’ how you comin’ through on tha hook! “We gon be rich one day! Lay it down… Gunplay!!” Whoo!! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, and it sounds like you’re copying Jim Jones’ “ballin’” adlib, a lil’; it’s at least catchy, in a way… Got Mr. Waka Flocka Flame on tha 1st verse, or wait, here you are, lol; y’all comin’ through nicely! You really have a lotta energy in your system, Gunplay; dumb shit!! Okay, now, Waka Flocka on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit okay-to-listen-to rhymes; I just like how he sounds, though he neva caught on like crazy, fa me. I kinda liked him that first year he was hot (2010), but he’s neva had crazy success wit me… Yea!! Here you are on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit coolness; feelin’ tha energy in tha delivery!! “It takes two ta rob base;” nice!! My Rating: 4.5


03. Cake, Cars, Castles
I like this title!! >>> Oh, just a lil’ interlude; sounds good, though, wit what you sayin’! “Gunplay in this bi’!” My Rating: N/A


04. “Walking On Water” Feat. Rick Ross & Triple C’s
Lemme see, here… >>> Ooh @ tha beat! Even got Ross on tha intro… Ross startin’ it off wit tha 1st verse, and though I’m not really inta him, this sounds good ta listen to. Ross ain’t stoppin’, here; luckily, it ain’t annoyin’ me, though it kinda long when there’s 2:15 left, and I still have ta hear from you & Triple C’s… Okay, finally, seconds later, Torch’s here, on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit; gotta be on dat mission! Ooh, Young Breed on tha 3rd verse, analyzin’ that “they changin’ channels;” feelin’ this shit! Finally, here you are on tha 4th verse, comin’ through wit dat energy, again, Gunplay!! “Feed tha apes (feed tha apes), feed tha apes!!!” My Rating: 4.3


05. “Bust Your Heart” Feat. Rick Ross & Triple C’s
Let’s see how this one sounds… >>> Again, anotha nice intro wit Ross and tha beat. Okay, let’s see how this fuckaholic Ross does on tha 1st verse… Some drug shit, but then again, can I believe it? Here you are on tha 2nd verse, wit tha “arm & hammer in my Hannah Montana” shit; nice! I know somethin’s similar’s in “Bible On The Dash”! Got Young Breed on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through like a “Lil’ Denzel;” gotta luv this dude!! Glad he so focused, here!! “A deck of spades;” nice! Got tha 4th verse from Torch, here, comin’ through wit a nice, motivational vibe ta be on a mission fa cake! My Rating: 4.2


06. “On My Lap”
Gotta hear this one!! >>> Sounds great wit tha beat start, so far!! Kinda reminds me of a “Bible On The Dash” vibe/anticipation wit this “on” shit! Hearin’ tha hook, and it’s all about tha “cash;” very catchy hook fa tha streetz!! Gotta have it “on [ya] lap!” Good shit on tha 1st verse; your character comin’ out, and I’m glad you a crazy dude!! Definitely feelin’ your crazy vibe/character on tha 2nd verse; you really lettin’ a lotta shit out!! Also, nice wit tha “empty loaded bananas” delivery!! Tha 3rd verse’s nice, too; you really comin’ through wit dat entertainin’ consistency!! My Rating: 4.7


07. Color Cut Clarity Coming Soon
That’s a nice title!! >>> Lookin’ forward ta it, though, where iz it? My Rating: N/A


08. “Miss Me”
>>> Sounds like an anthem, here, though why would you be “gone;” neva!!!!! Lots of rewindin’, here; “they call [you] Gunplay,” lol! Good shit goin’ on wit this verse; keep tha consistency comin’!! Yucky Drake shit toward tha end; forgot that he had somethin’ ta do wit this… My Rating: 4.0


½time: So far, so good, it sounds like; definitely diggin’ tha quality, here! A 4.3 for tha CD rating, currently; keep it goin’!!


09. “Another One” Feat. Diddy & Rick Ross
I always laugh at Diddy randomly appearin’ on jointz, these dayz. >>> Nice intro from him, here… Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit dem “splinters in [your] toes;” ouch! Good shit you got goin’ on wit this verse! LOL @ tha hook wit Ross & Diddy; diggin’ it! It’s that typical, supastar status-soundin’ content, lol! LOL, Diddy deliverin’ a verse on tha 2nd verse, here… Of course, he doesn’t stop generatin’ money; feelin’ his perseverance, lol! Of course, Ross on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit his automatic-soundin’ access ta do anything… My Rating: 4.1


10. “Money In My Pocket”
Oh, I recognize this… My Current Rating: 4.1


11. “Sell Out Of Everything” Feat. Triple C’s
Anotha collab, of course!! >>> Sounds like Young Buck in tha beginning, as well as tha hook, lol? Great energy; iz it Torch? Can’t 100% tell, but they doin’ tha damn thang! Yea, even “buckin’ in this bitch” and “get buck”? That’s totally Buck; nice intimidation? Here’s a “boot up like computers” dude on tha 2nd verse; Murphy Lee? Wow, I’m really confused, lol… ROFL, oh, it’s you on tha 3rd verse; almost thought it was Diddy, lol! Consistent rhymes!! “Burnin’ up like hot chili!” Nice beat from “The Runners,” as DJ Fletch confirmed! My Rating: 4.0


12. “4 Loko”
Nice title… >>> Some “Hard In The Paint”ness, here, wit tha beat… Diggin’ tha Color Cut Clarity shit, once again! Ooh, diggin’ how you started tha verse off wit dat acapella shit! Good shit; keep them jointz comin’! Ooh, a hook; “I go ham in tha muthafuckin’ trap house!” My Rating: 4.2


13. “Pump That Fee Up”
Nice title; of course, tha fees are risin’! >>> Catchy hook; of course, you clockin’ in on tha hook! Tha 1st verse sounds good wit all these “100” things! Tha 2nd verse sounds nice, too; keep dat energy and perseverance goin’!! My Rating: 4.4


14. “How You Do That”
>>> Ooh, takin’ it back to tha late ‘90s wit tha Young Bleed (not Breed, lol) track! Sounds pretty good wit you on it, here… My Rating: 3.9


15. Gunplaydonlogan
! >>> Nice lil’ interlude, though it Ross; thought it would be you… Oh wait, it iz you; almost got confused, based off tha phone-soundin’ interlude. Now, I think it was a nice interlude. My Rating: N/A


16. “All On You”
>>> Nice vibe; feelin’ tha hook a lot! This beat and you comin’ through on tha 1st verse’s really soundin’ nice! Keep tha paranoid rhymes comin’; I’m paranoid, as we speak! Continuously droppin’ rhymes, here; nice!! My Rating: 4.4


17. Outro
>>> Good shit! My Rating: N/A


Overall: I have ta say, this was a nice mixtape, as well! You had some better jointz on here than on tha previous CDs; keep up tha great work!!
