Review #1,985: Da Fada "Anybody Cou' Die"

Reviewed on 6.04.2021 (Review #1,985)

 

 

As I climb up tha review ladder, I’m on my 1,985^th review! This one iz for Houma’s Da Fada Anybody Cou’ Die, released in 2000 on Bottom Up Records! Start Tyme: 7:44 PM | End Tyme: 8:51 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

>>> An okay, quiet-soundin’ intro, here… My Rating: N/A

 

 

02. “Desperado” feat. Low-Down

Producer: Greg Dukes

Luv seein’ my big homie, Greg Dukes, on tha production!! >>> Hearin’ tha production & it sounds quiet but I luv hearin’ tha sounds ‘cause it sounds like that quiet, undaground shit. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you, Fada & it sounds cool fa a slow flow; also, nice hi-hat pattern, Dukes! Doesn’t sound like your typical, fast-soundin’ set of hi-hats… Good rhymes fa tha streetz but I feel like it’s such a long-ass verse! Like, with 4:59 on tha length, I have no idea when it’s gonna shift to Low-Down…! Like, I’ono, but I felt like this was just one big-ass verse; coulda been betta with a hook/transition, at least… Oh wait, at 3:29, finally, a hook! Well, was it? Just a quick title part & just jumped into an outro fulla whinin’ in tha background… My Rating: 3.1

 

 

03. “Anybody Cou’ Die” feat. B-Legit

Producer: StudioTone

>>> Feelin’ this eerie beat; definitely nice with how y’all comin’ through on tha hook. A random female chick singin’ a lil’ part? Interestin’ for such a short part… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & it sounds good with your rhymes; your flow ain’t bad but your rhymes are betta, basically… Keepin’ this movin’ with you on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit mo shit; kinda reminds me of some West Coast-type shit, with how you flow & collab’d with B-Legit… Hearin’ B on tha 3^rd verse & yeah, his West Coast flava adds a nice lil’ blend to your street content; nice job… My Rating: 3.7

 

 

04. “Forever Yours” feat. Low-Down
Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> A lil’ slow fa me to really appreciate, here… Hearin’ what you got goin’ on with tha 1^st verse & it’s nice with tha rhymes you bringin’… Also, speakin’ of Low-Down on tha feature, his Tales From Da South release was my actual 1,000^th review! Now, I’m only 15 away from 2,000, almost a decade later!! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s boring with how it sounds; sounds a lil’ cheesy & not really for me… Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2^nd verse & tha lyrics are good; I’m just not too crazy about this shit that sounds like an audio life story… Keepin’ this movin’ with Low-Down on tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ consistent with tha rhymes. However, that dude vocalizin’ in tha background’s makin’ this sound too depressin’ fa me, at tymes. My Rating: 2.8

 

 

05. “Revenge Or Death” feat. Low-Down

Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> Catchy lil’ beat from Happy P, here; let’s see how it turns out in a song… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & it sounds good with your consistent rhymes; glad this ain’t depressin’… Tha “more top-notch […] than Mexico got tacos” line was a dope lil’ part; interestin’ thinkin’ from tha south…! Damn, this iz soundin’ too long of a verse; why iz it over 2:00 in, right nah?! Finally, hearin’ tha hook as tha 3:00 mark’s about ta ‘proach & it’s a good lil’ hook; glad it finally came, tho! Low-Down comin’ through fa you & he does a nice job collaboratin’ with you. Sometymes, y’all two sound similar, so sometymes, I think that everythang seems too long. My Rating: 3.3

 

 

06. “Hoodlum” feat. Low-Down

Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> Sounds like a dope lil’ beat & how this beat continuously puts you in an undaground vibe, courtesy of that 985! Props fa what you’re wearin’, as well; gotta have tha right equips for tha streetz! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s soundin’ sappy with that singin’; just seems sad to be “caught up in tha hood…,” after hearin’ tha singin’. Anyway, keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through with mo shit fa tha streetz. Sometymes, your flow on this one gives me that West Coast feel, again; wanted ta point that out. Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3^rd verse & I feel bored; just seems like each joint’s too long. My Rating: 3.0

 

 

07. “Bitch Nigga” feat. Mr. Price

Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> Sounds like a good lil’ hook fa those that be tha opps; good lil’ hook & not bad for tha beat, here… Hearin’ what you got on tha 1^st verse & you keepin’ it movin’ fa tha streetz, here; props fa definin’ what a B.N. iz, continuously. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s you barely transitionin’ from tha hook to tha 2^nd verse; sounds like everythang goes too much together with each other… Now, I’m hearin’ tha actual hook? Was that only one long-ass verse, then? I’m confused… Comin’ up on (what I think iz) tha 3^rd verse, it’s Mr. Price, comin’ through with a slightly-more aggressive flow. Too bad their lyrics don’t match up to your street content but it’s still a decent/good addition, here. My Rating: 3.4

 

 

08. “Livin’ In Mechanicville”

Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

I’ono about sittin’ here fa 5:53; how big will one verse be? >>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat fa tha south, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & already, tha title came out; will it just be in tha beginning of tha 1^st verse? Let’s see how many barz iz in this 1^st verse… Hearin’ tha content you’re spittin’, here & it’s pretty rough in tha streetz of that 9-8-5… Okay, tha hook’s at 1:31; not bad! Sounds like a good hook with tha way of tha “Mechanicville,” here; good shit…! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & tha beat sounds like it’s gettin’ betta…! Well, it only lasted about four barz but you still holdin’ this shit down…; keep goin’…! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse, here & it ain’t too bad; too bad I’m slightly over halfway done with this track… Hearin’ tha rest of this & it’s so much of tha hook, mixed with an outro; a lil’ too long in all wayz… My Rating: 3.8

 

 

½tyme: Hate ta say that this release only iz slightly below average fa me, currently. There’s too many barz in verses, at tymes, as well as how long some of tha tracks are… I’m real glad I got ta hear Greg Dukes appear, as well as your street shit. It’s just, work on makin’ less of a filler, when it comes to tha tracks… Tha average rating iz only at a 3.3, currently; let’s see what’s next…

 

 

09. “Always Be A Ghetto”

Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> Sounds like it gon be a slow jam but it’s only 3:52, so luckily, it ain’t so long… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like a good lil’ track fa tha undaground streetz; I’ll give you some props. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it ain’t bad with what you spittin’, here; just a bunch of regularly-rapped shit about tha hood… Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2^nd verse, here, spittin’ good lyrics but a boring flow fa me… My Rating: 3.2

 

 

10. “Rules Are Meant To Be Followed” feat. C-Loc

Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> Nice intro from Loc, here…; beat’s also nice & quiet but still nice. Hearin’ what you got goin’ on fa tha 1^st verse & it’s cool; I’m diggin’ this flow & vibe, this tyme… Hearin’ tha hook & I ain’t even realize it was a hook; still, it sounded nice ta hear with this content about tha “rules.” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, now & it’s BiggDawg, comin’ through with good street knowledge; dope flow & helpin’ out Mr. Fada, Loc…! Was there a transition (e.g., hook) b4 you on tha 3^rd verse? See, this fucked-up transitionin’ iz really fuckin’ up this release fa me! My Rating: 3.9

 

 

11. “The Game Ain’t For Everybody”

Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> Beat sounds good fa tha south but mainly, fa you ta rap your good street content on… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse with what you’re bringin’ & it ain’t bad; I’m still not fuckin’ with tha regularly-delivered flow, tho. Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds good with how you lay it down about “tha game” and it not bein’ “for everybody”; not bad/good job… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & you comin’ through with that focused shit; I’ll give you some props… Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse with what you got, here & again, it’s startin’ ta sound kinda long. Rhymes are continuously dope but how many do you gotta have in just one song? That hurts tha track’s catchiness level… My Rating: 3.5

 

 

12. “Candy Man” feat. Toad & V2M

Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> Beat cool, here; tha hook sounds like somethin’ different, with this energy… Hearin’ how dude comin’ through fa you with a boosted amount of energy’s nice; we’ll see how much I can feel-feel it, in tha end… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds okay; gotta get used to feelin’-feelin’ this… Keepin’ this goin’ with tha energy on tha 2^nd verse & it’s soundin’ good; this joint may have tha most energy but it’s not tha catchiest for me. I know it sounds like I’m contradictin’ myself, at tymes, but that’s what’s happenin’ with me while I hear this… My Rating: 3.6

 

 

13. “Fuck The Fada”
Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> Okay, this energy’s much betta, so far! Only problem iz it’s 5:59! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds dope with how you’re more energized with a dark/intense-soundin’ beat, here…! Hearin’ tha hook & I always thought you was pronounced “fah-da” but it’s “fade-ah”; glad ta hear you say your stage name—½ of it…! Hearin’ what you got goin’ on with tha 2^nd verse & it sounds aggressive, once again; gotta keep goin’! Hearin’ more comin’ with tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ great & I’m still hangin’ in there…! Okay, we got a long outro on tha end, here; sounds good, no matter how long… My Rating: 3.8

 

 

14. “Thug Prayas”

Producer: Nathan “Happy” Perez

>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat & what’s goin’ on with tha 1^st verse, here… Luckily, this only 3:09, so I don’t have to be bored, easily. Keepin’ this goin’ with tha 2^nd verse & tha dark tymes of tha streetz continue; pretty intense, through tha content…! My Rating: 3.9

 

 

15. “If You Don’t Know, You Gon Know!” feat. Mr. Price

Producer: Greg Dukes

Dukes!! >>> Oh fuck, it’s this track! I remember this from, like, my radio show or somethin’! What a beast Dukes was on this beat!!! Hearin’ what’s goin’ on with tha 1^st verse & it’s real with tha different of what “you” do & “don’t know”; excellent! Luv how eerie & dark Greg Dukes comes through wit it on tha beat, throughout tha 1^st verse!! Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds catchy; I feel what’s goin’ on & how you make it sound catchy! Finally, after almost tha whole album, we finally have a 4.0-rated track!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, as I continue, with Mr. Price, here & he sounds good/aight… Just like how you were, earlier, Price kinda sounds like tha spoken-word flow that was throwin’ me off, earlier in this review. Anyway, keepin’ this movin’ with tha 3^rd verse & it sounds dope with how you continuously deliver that hot shit! Oh boy, when tha hi-hats disappear from 2:53 – 2:58, oooooooooooOOOOOOOh!! Greg Dukes got a trophy fa dis one!! Luv how I get ta hear tha amazin’ Dukes on tha beat, as tha beat just rides tha fuck out!! My Rating: 4.8

 

 

16. Outro
>>> Sounds like a sad, sappy beat ta end thangz off… I’m glad I at least got one 4.0er outta you, tho; couldn’t’ve been happier with what I picked! My Rating: N/A

 

 

Overall: Well, I wasn’t too impressed with tha flows but tha content for tha streetz was nice ta hear, here. Lots of tha beats sounded like they were either dark but not catchy enough or they were southern but a lil’ too plain. Either way, this how my reviewz go; it’s odd that there were no 4.0-rated tracks till tha end & it was closer to a ***PERFECT RATING***!
