Review #1,939: Max Minelli "Cold Day In Hell"

Reviewed on 6.29.2020 (Review #1,939)

As I’m almost an hour away from my full-time job, lemme get this last review in, right quick: Max Minelli Cold Day In Hell, courtesy of Crushed Entertainment! Sadly, Max retired from tha rap business at age 40 (now, 41) but bein’ 32, I don’t see a retirement happenin’, anytime soon (fa me)! Max said he was bored, durin’ these quarantined times & just wanted ta drop a lil’ sumthin’, sumthin’; that’s what’s up! Let’s see how dis shit goes…! Start Time: 7:26 PM | End Time: 7:58 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!

02. “Amongst The Wolves”
Producer: Jondo

>>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ beat start, here; hope tha excitement continues…! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds great; neva-agin’ Max style, here! Tha hook sounds cool; I digz it. Almost was thrown off by you attemptin’ ta use auto-tune but it sounds nice wit how you harmonize it/have this title ta back you up…! Continuin’ on, hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & yeah, I know what it be like, now, wit tha “fake” shit (“you my brotha,” as you say); definitely nice…! “You see disappointment on my face;” yeah, Max! Say it! Likin’ how tha beat goes, “Yeah, hoe…,” toward tha end; good sample… My Rating: 4.2

Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good; luv how you so hypnotized inta knowin’ what it iz ta make quality music fa tha streetz! Good shit! As this shit continues, you really sound lost in this shit (in a good way); what a hypnotizin’ hook! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & you got this shit continuin’ ta be on lock; good shit, Max!

Tha hook sounds good, too, as you bring tha coldest “day,” when it comes ta “Hell,” ya heard me?

>>> Excellent transition wit tha beat (from tha previous track)? Awesome! Luv how it blended & how you comin’ through on this harmonized hook…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I’m glad it shows that you enjoyin’ this shit; definitely what’s up! Tha hook sounds good fa tha streetz, too; definitely “orchestrated” in a beautiful way, ya heard me? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & you take a risk wit tha voice effect shit. However, I don’t hear any signs of shit bein’ wack & abused; you even switch back to tha organic voice, too! Keep it goin’, M-to-tha-A-to-tha-X! My Rating: 4.2

½time: Props fa keepin’ tha quality comin’, Max! Hope you don’t stay retired, permanently! Fuck a 6ix9ine snitch fa makin’ you not fit into tha rap world, today!

06. “Better Bring A Gun”
Producer: B-Bangerz

>>> A decent start, here; not too sure how much I’ll feel this slower shit… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it aight; I don’t have hate for it… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds cool; likin’ how this title yells “pre” to shit (“pre”-production, “pre”pare, you know)… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & yeah, I feel dis, especially tha “ankle bracelet” part; dat was me, smh! Hatin’-asses did dat ta me, when I deserved ta win! I hope ta win, one day but fa now, just preparin’ fa tha big future, ya heard me? Keep tha rhymes goin’…! Tha rest of this shit sounds nice, too; sounds betta than average, overall… My Rating: 3.9

>>> Sounds like a good lil’ track fa tha streetz, here; nice job, X…! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds good wit how you bring dat real-life shit to tha streetz, as always! Been a long time comin’, ya heard me? Gotta keep grindin’! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & this sounds good; feelin’ tha “free C-Murder” shit at all times! He’ll be back, one day; always have tha faith! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & your flow definitely catchy wit how you spit dis shit; definitely nice! Hope you always “keep it” goin’! Hook da truth—tha title tha truth, ya heard me? My Rating: 4.2

Producer: Jondo

>>> Sounds like a good beat & hook, here; feelin’ what you got goin’ on durin’ tha 1^st verse, ya heard me? You know how ta contribute tha catchy shit fa tha streetz! No boring vibes, here! Hearin’ tha YellaJazz chick on tha 2^nd verse & she cool; I’m feelin’ her gangsta style, here. I’m sick of tha females takin’ ova tha rap game, these dayz, but this chick gets it in… Also, likin’ tha “bow” shit in tha beat outro, toward tha end; good goin’! My Rating: 4.2

>>> Anotha tight beat fa tha streetz, here, as well as tha catchy titles & hooks! Great job, Max! You know you own thangz!

Looks like I like all these tracks tha same; that’s just how I categorize your music, I guess? My Max collection? My Rating: 4.2

10. “Dead Homiez”
Producer: Happy Perez

>>> Beat sounds pretty impressive, wit tha sample (sounds like cryin’ or moanin’? I think it sounds like a tight contribution!)…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good wit what you got goin’ on, here… Gangsta shit don’t die at age 41; you know how ta bring tha heat! Hearin’ tha hook & you got this shit on lock; likin’ how this sounds & what you believe in…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & you keepin’ this shit goin’; props to tha Pain! I like how you rhyme “Minnesota” wit “my shoulder;” keep dat “shoulder” up! I luv that “can’t bury your memory” line & how you said it; pure ‘90s!! Also, it sounds like you’re in tha middle of tha woods? Definitely interestin’; I’m feelin’ what you & P got, fa tha 2020’s! See, if you “retired” now (again), in 2020 & didn’t release anythang else till you turn 60, in 2039, you will still have tha consistency of releasin’ somethin’ in every decade, ya heard me? You got dis! Nice lil’ ending, too, with showin’ your respects to tha blacks that got killed, shamelessly; good shit! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: So glad you decided to make some music, again! Great job wit this interestin’ street content, Max! You deserve ta keep havin’ success & I’m glad I spent my money on this shit, just ta support you! Keep ya head up fa these streetz; they needz you!!
