Review #1,835: BlaXuede "Dey Don't Kno"

Reviewed on 10.18.2019 (Review #1,835)

BlaXuede Dey Don’t Kno iz my next review, released in 1999 on Avatar Music…! Start Time: 3:21 PM | End Time: 4:31 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Intro
>>> Pronounced “Black-Swade,” here; nice beat & intro! My Rating: N/A

02. “Battle BlaXuede” feat. Mr. 504

>>> Anticipatin’ beat intro, here; lookin’ forward ta hearin’…! Hearin’ tha hook and tha beat’s off tha hook, fa this anthemic/street vibe! Feelin’ tha aggression/hyped-up voice, on tha hook! You got this shit on lock!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ your energy…! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice; great job, once again! Lots ta unload, here!

Tha 3^rd verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, as well; luv your aggression! Nice outro, too, wit all tha 504 representations! “Sam on tha track,” right b4 tha track ended; wonder who dat iz…? My Rating: 4.4

05. “Da Sheetz”
>>> Goin’ to a real slow vibe, here, wit a Biggie-sampled beat… Hearin’ tha female on tha hook and she sounds good fa this vibe… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and just like one of tha reviewz I just reviewed, this has an “ooh, child” reference; interestin’… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, here; a lil’ too slow fa my interest, tho… Tha 3^rd verse’s soundin’ okay, as well; not terrible but a lil’ too slow vs. tha other songs on here… My Rating: 3.5

06. “About Da Paper”
>>> Sounds nice wit this southern beat, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ nice ta hear… Tha hook sounds pretty smooth, as far as bein’ on a mission fa “da paper,” here… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ cool, fa these throwback times… Tha rest of this not too bad; cool lil’ joint ta lay back to… My Rating: 4.2

08. “Where My Niggaz At” feat. Mr. 504

Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, here; keep reppin’ fa tha hood…! Tha 3^rd verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, as well; good shit… My Rating: 4.3

½time: A 4.3-rated CD, here; definitely nice! Feelin’ tha beats a lot, as well as tha aggression! Don’t think tha Biggie remake fit this CD’s vibe, as it’s been hype, for tha most part… Let’s keep it goin’, tho…!

09. “Don’t Fuck With Us” feat. B.G.

My Rating: 4.4

13. “I Thought I Told Ya”
>>> Dope street beat, here, as well as what you’re consistently bringin’ to tha table, durin’ tha 1^st verse! Tha hook sounds cool, here; simple lil’ title part wit tha hyped-up beat…! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it sounds nice… “Fuck Pizza Hut, I deliver;” you got tha delivery on lock! My Rating: 4.3

14. “What Ya Gonna Do”

I’m glad I neva had to go through all that nonsense that err-body be goin’ through, wit relationships! A long beat outro, here…; not bad, overall… My Rating: 3.7

16. “Death To The Fakers”
>>> Sounds like a typical-soundin’ sample that I can’t think of what it iz, in tha bassline… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ nice wit your hyped-up flow…! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty dope; I agree! “Death To The Fakers” iz right!! How can a faker live on this Earth? Gotta keep tha real energy comin’!! With that bein’ said, hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and tha energy continues! “Just a nerd in tha 3^rd grade;” tha struggle, even tho I started masturbatin’ “in tha 3^rd grade!” In February of 1997 (also known as tha 1^st thing I remember in life); I was only an eight-year-old youngin! Facts! “Bulls-eye, nigga, I caught ya;” lol… Likin’ tha lil’ beat outro, here; definitely nice…! My Rating: 4.2

17. Outro

>>> Beat sounds nice, here… Great job wit tha shout outs, as they blend in nicely wit tha beat…! My Rating: N/A

Overall: I thought you had a hyped-up, consistent, aggressive-soundin’ effort, here; definitely nice! Keep up tha great work, whereva you are; you’re definitely worth it!
