Review #1,944: A.u. & RareForm "Death 2 soundclick.com"

Reviewed on 7.30.2020 (Review #1,944)

As tha month’s near tha end, I’m gettin’ these reviewz outta tha way… Here comes A.u. & RareForm Death 2 soundclick.com, released in 2015 on Never Basic Association. Start Time: 2:32 PM | End Time: 3:35 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. “Damn!!!”

>>> Lol @ how A.u. kicks it off wit tha “lighter” & deeper voice. Lol, feelin’ tha flow on tha 1^st verse, here; sounds like A.u. got buku energy… Oh wait, that’s not A.u.; that’s RareForm. Lol, are tha two of y’all related? Almost sounded tha same, just a lil’ deeper on tha voice… A.u. comes in 2^nd & he sound cool wit what he spittin’. Fa this bein’ SoundClick-based, I think tha both of y’all do a great job, here, just off this 1^st track. Not even a hook & y’all got tha rhymes on lock, here; good shit! “Maple syrup kush, it taste like honey;” fuckin’ right! Can I shmoke some, when we link? My Rating: 4.2

02. “MJ”

>>> Almost thought it had ta do wit “Michael” Jackson, fa a second; glad it’s Jordan, tho, as we ballin’! Hook sound cool; I feel what y’all got, whether it a generic, online beat or not…! Hearin’ A.u. on tha 1^st verse & I’m feelin’ tha shit he bringin’ to da table; definitely nice! Got RareForm on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit, here. Though barely any interest in this generic beat, I give y’all props fa spittin’ some cool rhymes, in my opinion… I just don’t fuck wit tha “money long” shit, as you know that shit’s trouble, in real life… My Rating: 3.6

03. “Riding Around”

>>> Not anticipatin’ a female in tha beginning/on tha hook, tho I’m diggin’ her “boom-boom-boom” part, in tha hook… Likin’ tha 1^st verse; feelin’ this rap-sing vibe, as it shows a catchy side to what y’all got. Like tha part about tha good weed makin’ y’all “choke;” you know what it iz! Gotta luv A.u. on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit a lotta energy & luvin’ this rap shit! Definitely what’s up; wanna be in an A.u. life, fa a day! Too many features, tho? Just sounds like RareForm & A.u on tha verses & tha chick on tha hook, rather than all tha names on tha feature… My Rating: 4.3

04. “I Like It”

>>> Beat doesn’t really have much ta offer & tha 1^st verse from RareForm aight, here… Not really a hook, here; just braggin’ about how much RareForm “luv tha weed.” That’s a good brag but song-wise/hook-wise, not really worth anythang? Got A.u. on tha 2^nd verse, as he “feelin’ good, like ‘fasho’;” lol? I like dat… Tha rest of tha A.u. verse cool; not much ta really say ‘bout this, tho… My Rating: 3.5

05. “Act Uh Ass”

>>> Anotha generic beat; sounds like an okay hook, tho nothin’ special… Hearin’ RareForm on tha 1^st verse, from tha hook & it aight, basically… Got A.u. on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit great energy & good shit, here; definitely nice…! A 3^rd verse, here? RareForm comin’ through wit a calmer amount of energy than A.u. comin’ wit it…; decent/cool, as I like it betta than tha 1^st verse. My Rating: 3.4

06. “My Zone”

>>> Not feelin’ tha shitty female voice, on tha hook; don’t need tha effects in tha voice… Hearin’ A.u. on tha 1^st verse & it ehh/aight; not feelin’ tha voice effect ta be cool, toward tha end of tha verse… Whether y’all wanna be “in [y’all] zone, [y’all] zone, [y’all] zone…,” it can be done betta. I know A.u. knows what “betta” iz, in 2020, as his current shit on point/hot original productions from BR! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from RareForm & it aight; nothin’ ta brag about, tho… My Rating: 2.2

07. “Get Dis Money”

>>> Sounds awful on tha hook, wit tha generic beat & annoying voice effect. My laptop convertin’ a file & I can’t skim through, so I just gon have ta deal wit this… A.u. on tha 1^st verse; feelin’ tha energy, so I’ll give him props. RareForm on tha 2^nd verse & it ain’t bad wit what he comin’ through wit; it’s acceptable… My Rating: 1.2

08. “Hold Up” (A.u.)

>>> Kickin’ it off wit A.u. on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some fun rhymes; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; came outta nowhere, as it’s mainly just a “transition hook,” I should call it? Meaning, because this track’s called “Hold Up”, tha hook sounds like a short transition to tha next verse, without a hook, if you get my steez… Hearin’ more from A.u. on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit rhymes, rhymes, rhymes… Even more A.u. on tha 3^rd verse, here, comin’ through, just tellin’ it like it iz… Even mo A.u. on tha 4^th verse, here, keepin’ it goin’, goin’, goin’… Lol, a 5^th verse? Keep it goin’, I guess…? A 6^th verse from A.u., here; diggin’ tha “Polo…boxers” part, as those two words were in two separate lines. Smh @ how A.u. ended it with, “I’m done wit this bitch;” I felt like I was gonna hear a 29^th verse or somethin’, lol. My Rating: 4.3

09. “Never Land”
>>> A.u. on tha hook, soundin’ aight… Once tha beat got quiet & tha voice effect came in, I don’t even wanna think of feedback… Tha 1^st verse sounds gay wit tha voice effect; nothin’ ta comment, here… Damn, A.u., you ain’t gotta hit us wit tha gay auto-tune, too, on tha 2^nd verse; ouch…! My Rating: 1.0

½time: At times, this sounds okay for an album wit all online beats. However, it turns ta shit when tha auto-tune & generic vibes of tha mainstream strike… With that bein’ said, we’re only at a 3.1 for tha ½time rating, so far…

10. “Knob Broke”

>>> Sounds like a silly/cool title, which tha hook str8; tha beat ehh, tho… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from RareForm & it str8; nothin’ special, tho… A.u. on tha 2^nd verse, here, as I’m feelin’ tha energy. As far as tha lyrics, a lil’ random & who knows what brought him ta this scenery, lol… My Rating: 3.0

11. “Late Night”

>>> Annoying voice, on tha hook; almost wanna skip… Hearin’ A.u. on tha 1^st verse & it aight; I give him props fa his energy, at least… Fuck tha rest of this; not interested in tha annoying vibes… My Rating: 1.1

12. “Keep It 100it”

>>> Likin’ tha “Return Of The Mack” sample, slowed & distorted in tha background, on tha intro… Hearin’ A.u. on tha 1^st verse & it str8; keep it goin’… Got RareForm on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit okay rhymes; nothin’ much ta say… My Rating: 3.1

13. “Play Maker”

>>> Like how A.u. was feelin’ himself wit tha “blunt lit” catchphrase, five years ago; keep it “lit!” Hearin’ tha hook from A.u. & it cool; I give it props… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from RareForm & it str8; just rappin’, I guess? “HAF: High As Fuck;” nice! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from A.u. & it sounds nice; don’t thank pricing should be affect by your “kids growin’ up,” in my opinion. It all comes with buildin’ your empire/status…! My Rating: 3.2

14. “Amped, Geeked” (RareForm)

>>> Sounds like an energetic hook, tho tha beat & vibe of this track ain’t mean nothin’ ta me… Hearin’ RareForm on tha 1^st verse & it okay; nothin’ special… A RareForm solo, here, on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit ta feel fucked up on… Other than that, just generic shit, tho… My Rating: 2.4

15. “Quicker”

>>> Sounds like a randomly-inserted hook; wack… A.u. on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through, feelin’ tha energy from tha “*Sniff*,” lol. Lol, “Tell me how ta spell ‘sleep’;” I feel dat! Like, what iz “sleep?” Got RareForm on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit aight shit, here; just rappin’, ya know…? My Rating: 1.3

16. “Trill” (RareForm)

>>> Likin’ tha Bun B sample on tha hook, here; how will this generically-produced track turn out? Lol @ tha 1^st verse, RareForm: “And, tha streetz show me luv ‘cause I keep my dick in ‘em;” uncontrollable “luv,” basically, lol? Likin’ tha drug shit, toward tha 2^nd ½ of tha 1^st verse; gotta have dem “tabs” & “barz!” More from RareForm on tha 2^nd verse, here; not bad, as it’s just rhymes… My Rating: 2.5

17. “Watch Me Now” (A.u.)
>>> Likin’ tha energy, A.u., despite tha okay beat & hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from A & it cool wit his energy; likin’ tha “Johnnie Domino” shout-out… Tha rest of this ain’t bad; just not diggin’ tha generic sound… My Rating: 3.3

18. “I Swear”

>>> Skippin’ tha hook; sounds like garbage… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from A.u. & it cool, as always… Tha 2^nd verse from RareForm’s just ehh; this shit don’t need no feedback… My Rating: 1.7

Overall: First off, with tha way this shit’s labeled, it was all confusing with tha features & online-beat producers listed. After listenin’ ta this whole release, I realized it’s just A.u. & RareForm, all along… I thought I was gon be able ta appreciate A.u.’s presence but all tha continuous, generic beats from tha Internet were gettin’ boring fast. Also, using tha auto-tune wasn’t cool… I have anotha review fa A.u. comin’ up, afta I nap (yes, I don’t like “sleep” but use it ta transition my mood/tha day)…
