Review #1,953: Foxx "Shakeback 2"

Reviewed on 1.01.2021 (Review #1,953)
 
 
Happy 2K21, my peeps!! Glad we done made it to anotha year, ya heard me?! And, what a way ta kick it off: Shout out ta tha legendary Foxx fa gettin’ a hold of me & sendin’ me his latest release, Shakeback 2, courtesy of Milliyone Musik! I actually am currently tryna upload tha mixtape ta DatPiff, via Foxx. However, DatPiff keeps givin’ me an error message, smh; their server’s fucked up… Regardless, I’ll get it up there, eventually. Fa now, lemme review dis bitch…! Start Time: 6:21 PM | End Time: 7:07 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. “The Grinch”
Tha After-Christmas party, here…! >>> Definitely feelin’ tha “Christmas” vibe in tha beat, here; definitely good thinkin’, holiday style…! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds pretty nice wit how you’re “The Grinch;” go get dem “presents!” Sounds like a dope lil’ 1st verse comin’ from you, here; consistent, cool-rhymin’ rhymes at all tymez! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & yeah, you all about bein’ a dog luva; good shit… Good shit wit how you continuously spittin’, spittin’, spittin’, in a true Foxx fashion…! I like how tha 2nd verse ended wit how you firin’ dat “torpedo,” via tha rhymez…! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
02. “Go”
Producer: AJ On Da Track
>>> S/O ta you hookin’ up wit AJ On Da Track fa production, here; definitely what’s up! I first heard him on June 22, 2017, just four dayz b4 your 33rd b-day! Now, I’m only five months away from my 33rd! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds good wit how we’re on constant “on” (“Go”) mode! Good shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse you got goin’ on, here & you keepin’ tha consistency goin’! That’s how I luv it, ya heard me? Also, I can’t wait till we link & do big shit, in tha future! Glad you continuously grind! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s dope wit how you keepin’ it goin’! Yeah, “I’m an ‘80s baby!” I be pushin’ dat “#80sBabiesInOur30s” shit, ya heard me? Dumb shit!! Also, glad you be shmokin’ all dat good! Glad I got my medical card & get whateva I want, wheneva, ya feel me? Might have ta get you up here, where I’m at, one day (that’s if you come up by me, within a year. I’m tryna get out dis bitch & move to da south)! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
03. “Dumb”
! >>> Ooh, luvin’ tha energy on tha beat, here! Definitely dope wit how you have an excellent ear fa tha beats! Sounds like a ‘90s Louisiana sample or somethin’ in tha beat, here? Definitely catchy…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it cool; definitely feelin’ what you got goin’ on, here! Reminds me of a “Wipe Me Down”-type shit wit tha “I be doin’ my lil’ shit” shit that repeats! Gotta luv it; fuckin’ luv your energy…!! Keep on shmokin’!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty dope; can’t be denied or stopped, here…!! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
04. “No Money”
>>> A slow start wit tha beat, here; likin’ how you “woke up from a long night,” as you keepin’ tha late-night grind goin’…! Hearin’ tha hook & it str8; nothin’ bad or hype about it, as it just sounds a lil’ cool wit how you sound… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & I’m diggin’ your flow, this tyme; sounds like you’re a new version of tha dressed-up playaz, lol. Even wit tha hook havin’ a lil’ bit of a mainstream swag ta it, I fucks wit it; go, Foxx! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds good; can’t complain wit what you bring to tha table, ya feel me? My Rating: 3.8
 
 
05. “No Drawls” feat. Webbie
Producer: J Buc
! ! … ! >>> Glad you holla’d at Buc fa tha production, too! Definitely nice, here, wit tha semi-plain beat start (it’s dope, tho). Webbie on tha 1st verse & he sound good, in a true Baton Rouge fashion, here… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s defintiely catchy, wit this drawless shit; glad Webbie got tha humor in his delivery, here…! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse & you skippin’ through tha “undawear” on tha approach, here; good shit. As always, I’m feelin’ how you come through wit tha flow, no matta which approach you take! Lol, that “undawear” tryna find you but it ain’t gon catch ya…! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
06. “Apologize”
>>> Couldn’t ID tha producer on this one, based off they tag. However, this on a slow tip; not too sure how much I gon feel dis… I’ve been “Apologize”-free fa eight years, now; glad I discared tha sorrow! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it ain’t bad; glad you not abusin’ tha auto-shitty-tune…! A delay in your delivery at :41, based off of waitin’ fa dat… “sound?” Did it startle you? Hearin’ tha hook & it ain’t really on my level; not wack but not somethin’ I’m into wit tha apologizin’… Even down to my charge: It’s a lil’ bit of a rough road but my motive & reasoning behind gettin’ my share has no apologizes comin’ from me, ya feel me? With that bein’ said, hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it aight, tho y’all dudes seem ta get twisted up in all tha baby-mama drama. Lucky fa myself, I hopped ova that chapter & ain’t had ta deal wit none of that shit…! My Rating: 3.1
 
 
½time: You have a 4.2 for tha average rating, currently; off to a nice start…! I’m feelin’ that you continuously have tha passion fa this rap shit, no matter which era you/we’re in…! Glad you holla at some dope producers fa your tracks & I’m glad you know where tha quality at, most of tha tyme! Let’s keep it goin’ but 1st, I gon throw back 30 mg of edibles, due to I gotta type up my 21st annual year-end countdown, later tonight: My Top 596 Songs of 2020, which you’re a part of (“Kick-Door Music”)! Can’t wait! *Throws edibles back at 6:42 PM…* *Returns three minutes later…* Aight, even tho my high gon kick in about an hour or so from now, I gon just finish this review wit confidence…!
 
 
07. “Fiya Eps”
>>> Likin’ tha lil’ “Chickenhead” sample (“alright, alright, alright…”) from 20 years ago in tha beginning, here… Hearin’ tha plain beat start wit you on tha 1st verse, here & it sounds nice; your rhymes are so consistent! Like, you rhymin’, like, twice per line! Definitely nice, tho no jiggaz fa you, here, via tha no “ecstacy?” Jiggaless Foxx, lol… Oh wait, now this one bitch had you “on dem pillz;” Jiggaful Foxx, lol. As far as them “stealin’ $100.00 from” ya, that shit sucks. I helped this one bitch out six years ago, as I bought her a used car fa $500.00 & she paid me back, like, only $200.00. Then, I gave her an edible & when we was gon meet or somethin’, she claimed she “ran ova a dog,” smh; wtf @ carelessness! Lol @ “Ecstacy,” as far as an actual bitch’s name; good shit! Definitely feelin’ how you just decided ta freestyle ‘bout deez bitches! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
08. “Slowly” feat. Dej Rosegold
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ slower hook & beat, here; dope organ in tha beat…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & this shit sounds nice, wit what you bringin’ to tha table! “I’m fulla dat drank […] tabs […] gas, too;” you know! Gotta luv ya, Figgy-Foxx! Sounds nice wit how you describin’ this bitch; at least this one ain’t makin’ ya waste money, like tha previous track! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from you & it sound like anotha day in tha bitch-life of Foxx (by “bitch-life,” I don’t mean that you’re a “bitch,” lol! It’s about them bitches, ya feel me?); not bad wit this shit… Hearin’ tha hook fa tha 3rd tyme & it does sound like you’re on drank or somethin’, wit how you deliver it; glad shit can get you in tha right zone! Hearin’ this Rosegold chick on tha 3rd verse & I’m diggin’ that she spittin’ that ratchet, southern-type shit, here. I usually be knockin’ tha female rappers, these dayz, but this one got potential fa success… My Rating: 4.0
 
 
09. “Letter 269” feat. Lady Kym
Producer: AJ On Da Track
>>> Nice that you got anotha AJ beat, here…! Literally, I seen tha title & I was like, “you wrote a 269th letter ta who? Tha rap game, since you have so many tracks?” Then, afta hearin’ tha hook, it’s fa gay-ass “6ix9nine!” Ugh, I hate his ass! Not really anticipated ta hear you givin’ some of your energy ta him but I’m glad you exposin’ your hate fa him…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good wit how you writin’ this “letter” ta him but don’t write 268 mo, lol!! Yeah, don’t trust those peeps that luv “shmoke” but “luv 6ix9ine!” Keepin’ tha 2nd verse goin’ & it’s nice; glad you keep reppin’ fa “BR,” tho. See, at least wit my white-ass, at least I’m always welcome in BR; 6ix9ine, on tha otha hand, he’ll get tha glock on him! Real talk! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit tha 3rd verse & it sounds nice wit how you keepin’ it movin’; nice job… Glad AJ keepin’ tha on-n-poppin’ production goin’ fa you, at all tymes! He sometymes gets frustrated wit how he don’t get that much luv but I’m tellin’ ya, just like how I don’t get much luv, he gon win in tha end! Baleedat! Also, I ain’t realize Lady Kym was in tha background of tha hook; definitely nice how you both vocalize tha hook! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
10. “Jigga City Dumb”
Producer: AJ On Da Track
That’s right, via that 2…2…5! >>> Yeah! AJ did this one, too, as well as it havin’ that 225-type title, too! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope, as well as what you & AJ got goin’ on, here…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice; definitely feelin’ what you got, here; keep it up! “Dumb,” “dumb,” dizzumb!! Hearin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha 2nd verse & it’s pretty nice; definitely keepin’ tha consistency comin’! Luv how tha pattern sounds like a bunch of kickin’ in tha beat, tha last four barz of tha verse! Definitely nice! Also, S/O to “Mickens” on tha street, too! Seemed like this one flew on by, so fast…! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
11. “Come Around”
>>> A slower beat but it’s cool, here; couldn’t ID tha producer, tho… Hearin’ tha hook & it dope fa tha streetz, here… Hope you always “Come Around,” Foxx; you know what it iz! Also, anotha beat wit anotha hot organ! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & you got tha str8 rhymes comin’ through, here; gotta dig ‘em… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I’m glad you don’t stereotypically move fa “pussy,” as tha “paypa” must make you “move!” Also, glad you feel like you in “Jamaica,” based off tha good loud! Shout out ta you keepin’ tha rhymes goin’; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
12. “Ain’t No Hoe”
>>> Definitely luvin’ this true BR sound, in tha beat!! Definitely dope, includin’ how you comin’ through wit tha anti-hoe’d up hook! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it goes hard!! Luvin’ your flow but tha beat sounds really make you go off!! I gotta hook you up wit my boy outta Lafayette, Mikki Gunz; you may know him but he got da heat, as well…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s dope as fuck, as well; definitely nice! Luv how you ended it, as well: “Ding, ding, ding,” as far as you imitatin’ tha “boxing ring!” Even tha beat ending, too; gotta luv it…!! My Rating: 4.7
 
 
13. “Smokin’ Loud”
Producer: La’Keith
A track from tha previous Shake Back, released back in 2K13… Here’s how my review went, back then:
 
This sounds real similar to Baton Rouge’s Ronny My’s “What A Bum (Free Kevin Gates)”, from [2009]. They got tha same “Waterman”-like sample, which I dig… Let’s see if this iz better… I like how tha hook sounds; glad you inta “smokin’” & you feelin’ tha vibe, right now! I think I might’ve liked that Ronny My song betta, since I was inta undaground Gates, at tha time, lol. But, it sounds good on tha 1st verse; you got tha “loud” on lock! Tha 2nd verse sounds great, too; nice vibe! Lol @ “you be smokin’ shh!” Good job wit tha 3rd verse, too, as you’re catchin’ them in lies! As much as I said I liked tha Ronny My song betta, I believe tha rating’s tha same for me, right now… My Current Rating: 4.4
 
 
Overall: Definitely thought this bitch was dumb; glad you always bring tha heat! Always love ya, since I first heard ya on Music Choice Rap, back on March 14, 2007! Keep tha consistency goin’ & I hope I can get this on my DatPiff soon…! I even tried submittin’ somethin’ ta LiveMixtapes, as well as Spinrilla; I gon keep tryin’ fa you, bruh…!
