Review #1,888: Mr. Serv-On "Da Next Level"

Reviewed on 12.21.2019 (Review #1,888)

Lemme keep these reviewz goin’: Mr. Serv-On Da Next Level’s my next review, released in 1999 on No Limit Records & Priority Records! Start Time: 9:42 AM | End Time: 10:56 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 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. Forever My Life: The Beginning

Producer: Craig B & O’Dell

>>> Nice wishes to those that are “forever [your] life;” good intro… My Rating: N/A

02. “Tank Nigga” feat. C-Murder, Fiend, Kane, Abel, Lil’ Soldiers & Mia X

Producer: KLC
>>> Definitely luvin’ tha gutta-ass hook! Aggression at its finest!! Luvin’ this 1^st verse, too, as it’s quick, consistent, gutta-ass rhymin’!! Nice job, especially wit this No Limit-type beat! Got C on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his dope shit; definitely nice! Tha guttaness continues wit tha gritty-ass 2^nd part of tha 2^nd verse; gotta luv it! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 3^rd verse, soundin’ nice & No Limitty; good shit! Why tha Lil’ Soldiers feature on tha 2^nd part of tha 3^rd verse? Doesn’t even fit… Other Lil’ Soldier on tha 3^rd part of tha verse; ick… Shout out ta Master P fa executive-producin’ this CD; it’s official! Mia X on tha 4^th verse, here, comin’ through wit a nice, gutta vibe; you know what it iz! Also, tha 2^nd part of tha 4^th verse’s pretty dope, too; all focused, here! Oh wait, with only 32 seconds left, Kane & Abel goin’ off on tha 5^th verse, here!! Every1 went off, here! Prevented it to be higher than a 4.5, tho, due to tha Lil’ Soldiers feature… My Rating: 4.5

03. “Boot ‘Em Up” feat. Fiend & Mystikal

Producer: KLC
>>> Definitely hype & focused, here; gotta feel it! Hook off tha chain; let’s do dis!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s pretty hype; aggression at its finest!! Likin’ tha random chick that was countin’ ta “6,” before tha 2^nd verse started; nice addition…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s soundin’ pretty nice, here; keep bein’ focused…! Dope-ass Mystikal on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit his 100%-hyped-up-ass, here; gotta luv it! My Rating: 4.6

04. “From N.Y. To N.O.” feat. Big Punisher

Producer: KLC
Big Pun! But also, that title’s me, all tha way! >>> Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse ova this nicely-produced beat from KL & it’s soundin’ good. Sometimes, your delivery sounds more like a spoken-word style than rappin’, I must say… “New Orleans; shit iz doper than morphine;” nice, Pun! Hearin’ Pun on tha 2^nd verse & I’m luvin’ his consistency; definitely a plus, to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3

05. “F.U. Serv”

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Sounds like an anthemic beat, as well as tha “back up off me” hook & title part; good shit! Hearin’ what you got on tha 1^st verse, here & you goin’ off; nice job! Tha 2^nd verse sounds dope, as well, even tho this spoken-word flow kinda throws me off… My Rating: 4.2

06. “Murder” feat. Magic

Producer: Ke’noe

>>> Beat sounds nice; sounds like it gon be a hyped-up collab…? Beat’s slower than tha faster hype but this shit’s definitely nice fa tha streetz, here…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope; good shit… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it’s str8, except for some of tha spoken-word flowin’… Tha hyped-up Magic on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his tightness; luv his aggression at all times!! Got you on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through wit tha yada-yada-yada-yada…; it iz what it iz, I guess? My Rating: 4.2

07. “I Hate The Way I Live”

Producer: Craig B

>>> Sounds like a depressin’-type song? An okay hook; I prolly won’t feel it as much, especially wit tha expected spoken-word flow… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & yeah, it’s blah, blah, blah; next…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & yeah, this one’s just as storytellin’ as tha 1^st verse; not much interest in me… Damn, an outro about 100 seconds long? Oh wait, this ain’t an outro; it’s tha 3^rd verse! Duh, Frankie!! My Rating: 2.7

08. “Best Friend II” feat. C-Murder & Dorian

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Sounds good wit C on tha hook about this “lady” he calls his “best friend;” good shit! Here comes tha 1^st verse from you & it’s a lil’ betta. I still think you should work on that flow, tho! Like, you don’t harmonize off tha beat at any times!! Got C rappin’ on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit dat good shit, even fa tha females, here; nice! Here you are on tha 3^rd verse, as well, comin’ through wit some decent shit; not bad… My Rating: 4.1

09. “1, 2, 3”

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Tha hook sounds a lil’ catchy, as well as C-Los’ beat; good shit…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it cool, even fa your typical flow, here… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & it sounds good fa what it iz… I think your beats make you sound hotter than your raps, at this point? My Rating: 4.0

10. “Straight Outta N.O.” feat. C-Murder & Magic

Producer: Craig B
>>> Sounds good wit C on tha 1^st verse, here, as well as tha hyped-up beat! Tha hook’s pretty hype; what an anthem! Just like “Straight Outta Compton,” here you are on tha 2^nd verse, “Straight outta uptown!” Feelin’ your flow this time, even tho it still sounds like fast talkin’… Ooh, Magic want a “blunt” & he want it “rolled;” nice! He “straight outta downtown,” here; nice, as well! He doin’ his thang on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit dat hype! Gotta feel it!! Luvin’ tha “uptown/downtown” shit toward tha final minute; gotta luv it! Keep makin’ dat bread…, together! My Rating: 4.6

11. “Snatch Them Hoez Up” feat. Mia X

Producer: Mo B. Dick

>>> Sounds pretty nice, here; feelin’ tha hype! Beat’s on point, as well as tha hyped-up hook! Gotta be in fa tha crowd, as well as in tha crowd! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds nice, here; likin’ this flow betta, as you have more than just talkin’, here… Mia on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some nice shit; glad y’all all anthemic, here! My Rating: 4.3

½time: Despite most of your flows of bein’ a spoken-word sound, I’m feelin’ tha consistent set of anthems, here! It’s all about tha hype, tha aggression, tha No Limit power! A 4.2-rated CD, so far; keep it up!

12. “My Homies” feat. Sons Of Funk

Producer: Rico

>>> A slow, sad-soundin’ track; I’ono, here, includin’ tha singin’ hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s ehh; can’t tolerate tha speakin’… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it aight…; I feel tha whole anti-“free” thing about bein’ tha “bird.” It’s like, with what I’m goin’ through right nah, I don’t feel “free” till I have 100% of my freedom back! Now, we got a 1:11-long outro; it’s an okay wish… My Rating: 2.5

13. “This Is For My Niggaz” feat. Ghetto Commission

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Sounds a lil’ more upbeat than tha last song… Feelin’ what C-Los providin’ wit this laidback beat, as it sounds like you can shmoke a good one ta this slow vibe…! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it’s aight; not too crazy ‘bout tha flow… Likin’ how tha hook dedicated ta tha “dawgs” & shit; good shit! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from tha GC click & it sounds nice; feelin’ their flow/aggression more than yours, here…! Got tha 3^rd verse goin’ on, here & it str8; not too bad of a track, overall… My Rating: 3.3

14. “Freaky Dreams” feat. O’Dell

Producer: O’Dell

>>> Anotha slow jam but for tha ladies, this time… Hearin’ tha hook and it ehh; not really inta dis… Even down to tha 1^st verse, here; sounds like it’s draggin’… O’Dell, that was long of a hook/verse/hook; over two minutes! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from you, Serv-On & it ehh…; this flow lacks, once again…! My Rating: 1.8

15. “Make ‘Em Bleed”

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> A short one, here…; nice beat & okay hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good wit your more-aggressive flow, I must say… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s soundin’ nice; all you needed was a lil’ aggression, at times…! Nice shout out ta “DMX,” as well, about “Hell” bein’ “hot!” My Rating: 4.1

16. “Hit The Block”

Producer: O’Dell

>>> Okay beat, here; I’ono about this flow on tha 1^st verse, tho… Hearin’ tha hook and it str8 wit tha whole hittin’ “tha block;” not bad… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse & it’s ehh…; just can’t tolerate tha flow…! My Rating: 3.5

17. “Strap Up” feat. Fiend

Producer: Carlos Stephens

>>> Sounds a lil’ betta than tha previous track…; hook & 1^st verse ain’t too bad, here, ova this southern beat… Got Fiend on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his aggressive flow/verse; definitely feelin’ it! Great lil’ contribution & lol, “Bitch, I’m from Baton Rouge;” really? “Bitch, I’m from Louisville…;” “bitch, I’m from Birmingham…;” “bitch, I’m from Mississippi;” I figured! It’s just N.O., basically; just shout outs… “Bitch, I’m from Shreveport;” how about Hawaii, lol? My Rating: 3.8

18. “I’ll Be There” feat. Ms. Peaches

Producer: O’Dell

>>> Sounds like a sad track; not sure what tha rating gon be… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s ehh; too sad wit Peaches singin’ & you appearin’… Hearin’ you speakin’ on tha 1^st verse & it’s rough ta hear; hate hearin’, especially wit my situation goin’ on…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & I don’t have a comment on it… My Rating: 2.1

19. “My Story” feat. KLC

Producer: KLC
>>> Sounds like it okay wit this decent/good-soundin’ rap beat & KL on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & it’s soundin’ okay wit your usual flow… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it ain’t bad, here; just yada-yada-yada, basically… God, a 3^rd verse? Just draggin’, at this point… My Rating: 2.4

20. “I Luv It”

Producer: Mo B. Dick

>>> Sounds like an okay intro & verse… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s str8; this relaxin’ & quick, luckily… Oh wait, a 2^nd verse ta end it off, quickly; not bad… My Rating: 3.6

21. “The Last Song” feat. O’Dell

Producer: Mark In The Dark, Craig B & KLC

>>> An okay beat & hook, here; more on tha sad side…? Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it’s ehh… Tha 2^nd verse sounds like more talkin’; barely payin’ attention ta what’s goin’ on… A 3^rd verse, here…; this track ain’t fa me at all… Tha final hook sounds like it’s startin’ ta be all off-beat & shit… My Rating: 1.5

22. Forever My Life: The End

Producer: Craig B & O’Dell

>>> No comment on tha outro, here; just keep thinkin’ positive! My Rating: N/A

Overall: Not feelin’ your flow throughout this whole CD; gonna have ta work on it! Your features & producers mainly helped you out, here…; that’s all I have ta say.
