Review #1,258: Coppertop "Tired Of Playin'"

Reviewed on 2.02.2013 (Review #1,258)


Coppertop Music’s Coppertop Tired Of Playin’ iz my next review. Start Time: 3:53 PM | End Time: 4:02 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 use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Tired Of Playin’”
>>> Sounds like cool music, includin’ tha flow you got at tha end of each line. I also like tha parts after tha verses; good shit… My Rating: 4.1


02. “Stand In My Way” Feat. Franchise Tief
>>> Feelin’ tha production; reminds me a lil’ bit of Kevin Gates-type production… Nice rhymes you got goin’ on, here; definitely feelin’ it! Tha hook ain’t too bad wit tha singin’, although it’s cheesy. My Rating: 4.2


03. “Fresh Out The Box” Feat. Mouse & Bonka
>>> Almost sounds familiar; I’m not sure… Either way, I really like this hook wit tha repeatin’ title! X-Fyle did a nice job on this beat, and you’re doin’ a nice job on tha beat! Tha features sound good on here; nice job wit their voices and how they contribute shit wit their flows! My Rating: 4.2


04. “Sections & Bottles” Feat. Keith Jacobs
>>> What’s up wit tha stupid beat tags? Either way, tha production sounds nice, and your rhymes are good… Anotha singin’ hook; this one ain’t too bad… I have to say, good collaboration; I don’t mind, here. My Rating: 4.2


05. “Another One” Feat. Lee Banks
>>> X-Fyle beat; feelin’ tha energy you’re bringin’ in this song, especially wit tha title part in tha hook! Lee Banks sounds random, but he fits good wit this energy… My Rating: 4.2


06. “Hell Of A Night” Feat. X-Fyle
I reviewed this on X-Fyle’s compilation, not too long ago… My Current Rating: 1.2


½time: Was off to a real-good start (4.2 for tha CD rating), until that last song came in, smh! Now, it’s 3.7 for tha CD rating; gotta learn!


07. “Cruisin’” Feat. LG
>>> Sounds like a nice, laidback-type joint. Nice job wit this collaboration and laidback vibe! My Rating: 4.3


08. “Quite Like Me” Feat. Franchise Tief
>>> Just like tha X-Fyle feature, I’m skippin’ this garbage, after a few seconds! My Rating: 1.0


09. “Show Me You Want It” Feat. Arletha
>>> Not sure if this was gonna scare me, but tha hook was okay, for me, with Arletha. This barely okay for me; sounds like you’re an old man, now… My Rating: 3.3


10. “Supposed To Do”
>>> An okay song to nearly end this CD… My Rating: 3.7


11. “I’m Serious”
>>> Why tha low audio quality? Too NY for me, although it’s a lil’ catchy, includin’ tha hook. My Rating: 3.5


12. “Ghetto Symphony (Outro)”
>>> Endin’ wit an X-Fyle production and intro… This ain’t too bad, also; seems like my excitement fell off from this CD after I seen that you thought that havin’ a-tune on your tracks iz cool, smh! I like tha “son” parts on this… My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Ehh, was real nice in tha beginning, but had two jointz that really bombed! Then, it turned decent… Either way, we’ll see what else you’ll be bringin’ to tha table in tha future! Hopefully, none of it has to do wit a-tune! That shit should’ve been gone! I was, like, 20, 21 when I got tired of dat! I really would wish you were under 21, but I don’t think that’s true, when it comes to likin’ a-tune…


Rankings:

12.       “Quite Like Me” Feat. Franchise Tief 1.0
11.        “Hell Of A Night” Feat. X-Fyle 1.2
10.       “Show Me You Want It” Feat. Arletha 3.3

Review #1,237: DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, Big Jay, DJ Dow Jones & Dre "N.O. To The B.R. 9 (Pyrex Radio Edition)"

Reviewed on 12.30.2012 (Review #1,237)


My next review iz a double disc. However, it 2:42:32; that’s more than two CDs combined (1:20 + 1:20 = 2:40:00). So, how did this sell copies? Either way, it’s DJ 5150, DJ Hektik, Big Jay, DJ Dow Jones & Dre N.O. To The B.R. 9 (Pyrex Radio Edition). I don’t remember tha last time I did a double disc review, but this should be interestin’…
Disc 1: Start Time: 11:04 AM | End Time: 11:31 AM
Disc 2: Start Time: 11:41 AM | End Time: 12:07 PM
Overall: Start Time: 11:04 AM | End Time: 12:07 PM

© 2012 CD Review (Review #1,237) reviewed on 12.30.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Big Jay “Intro”
>>> Let’s go…; why such a delay for Pyrex Radio Vol. 7? I’m already on Vol. 12 of my compilations… and, I started since Pyrex Radio Vol. 7 was ‘pose ta come out! My Rating: N/A


02. Lee Banks Feat. Shell (Yung Thugga), Mista Cain, Smitty, Young Ready & Sunny “Get U A Body (Remix)”
>>> Catchy beat; great collaboration from everyone! Everyone goes off, here! My Rating: 4.5


03. Clever Kev, Shell (Yung Thugga) K. Gates “My City”
>>> Anotha good one. Feelin’ Shell’s “Reaper” character; he real gutta wit it, lol! My Rating: 4.4


04. Young K.T., Young Ready, Lee Banks, Mista Cain & Lil’ Ernest “Street Nigga”
>>> For a singer, K.T. sounds good on this kinda song; it sounds like a nice, Lil’ Boosie-type beat ta be on, and he does a nice job! This collaboration sounds good, too; kinda feels like tha Young Ready hood, here. My Rating: 4.2


05. B.G. Feat. Michael Stokes “Too Hood”
Production from Oddz N Endz. >>> This good, too; I like that singin’ hook! Great job wit tha beat, Oddz N Endz! My Rating: 4.3


06. Ray Vicks “Exodus”
>>> I like tha beat; why iz tha voice a lil’ boring? Like, where’s tha character? You hear sirens in tha background, you should have a better voice, Ray! A lil’ too long for me, too… My Rating: 3.7


07. Calliope Var Feat. Young Roddy “Redemption”
>>> Nice collaboration; nice hook! Good job from that Jets dude on tha hook! Tha beat’s nice and Calliope goes off, as usual! My Rating: 4.3


08. Juvenile “Who The Fuck Is You”
>>> Sounds a lil’ funny goin’ off on tha hook; Juvie! Juvie! Juvie! Juvie! See, nice and quick! Only 2:11 on tha length and it goes off, nice and quick! My Rating: 4.4


10. Mista Cain “Bam”
>>> Good beat; this iz okay. My Rating: 4.0


11. Mouse On Tha Track “Hand Rub”
>>> As always, catchy as usual; love tha beat and Mouse’s character! Now, tha whole world’ll be rubbin’ their handz!!! My Rating: 4.5


12. Bengie B Feat. T.E.C. “Ur Nothin’”
J Buc on tha beat!! My Current Rating: 4.5


13. 6 Ward Pook Feat. P-Town Moe “Baby Momma”
>>> Ooh, a bounce vibe! Glad to see these two collaboratin’; lookin’ forward ta hearin’! Jammin’ hook; all about dat “pussy!” Jammin’ all tha way ‘round! My Rating: 4.4


¼time: So far, very jammin’; almost every song iz a 4.0 for me! Currently, tha CD rating’s a 4.3; can it stay up?!?


14. Down Bad & DJ B-Real “Bunz”
Now, this I’m anticipated for!! >>> Yea!! Nice beginning from JR Dot and then, DJ B-Real comes through wit tha hook!! Sounds a lil’ like “Make Me Spend Money On You” from Bro-Bro, Level & Foxx, though, but I’m definitely diggin’ it, especially this “Bunz” title!! Got DJ B-Real rappin’ on a bounce beat!! Ooh, definitely gotta add this somewhere along tha line!! Definitely luvin’ all tha fast shit he rappin’ to! Before you know it, he’ll be rappin’ on an EDM beat! LOL, you gotta have Cage goin’ off on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit dat entertainin’ shit! Oh, there’s gotta be a full version around somewhere!!! My Rating: 4.7


15. Foxx “Put Me On”
My Current Rating: 4.4


16. Lil’ Boosie “Don’t Know My Style”
Big Wayne beat; why Tupac in tha feature? I ain’t puttin’ him in tha ID! Low anticipatin fa this! >>> Skippin’ tha Tupac part… Boosie ain’t too bad; good, as always, wit some faster rappin’ and a good beat ta back him up. My Rating: 3.2


17. Lil’ Trill & Lil’ Mal “Y.N.R.T.”
>>> “Young Nigga Runnin’ Thangz” iz tha acronym, here, and this sounds like a banga! Nice beat ta rap on and Trill holdin’ tha hook down in a great way! I heard Lil’ Mal on Lil’ Cali’s “Killin’ ‘Em” joint, so it’s gonna be anticipatin’ ta hear him again! Great collaboration; definitely “runnin’” shit! My Rating: 4.4


18. Shu & Kevin Gates “Late Nite”
>>> Sounds like a Lil’ Wayne clone, a lil’… Nothin’ really special wit these lyrics at all, even though tha beat’s a lil’ better than tha lyrics… Gates sounds a lil’ betta, but this iz a decent song, overall. My Rating: 3.6


19. N.O. Meazy Feat. Byboo Da Truth “Look Back At It”
>>> Yes, a bounce vibe; gotta feel it! Also, tha length’s 2:27; nice and quick! Good collaboration; y’all holdin’ shit down, too! My Rating: 4.3


20. Sess 4-5 Feat. Magic “See Wut Dat Do”
>>> Nice beat, here; Sess holdin’ it down, once again! If he’s in his 30’s, we should be in contact by now! What’s takin’ so long? Maybe, I should reach out on Twitter or somethin’? Jammin’ beat and Sess’s really holdin’ this shit down! My Rating: 4.3


21. Flow Feat. Bonka, Kevin Gates & G. Wilson “Ink Bleed (Remix)”
Flightschool doin’ tha production. >>> 1st verse has a Wayne flow; boring… However, tha lyrics are much betta wit this “blood” shit…, I think? Next up, Bonka; sounds good, like always. Third, Kevin Gates; I would think K. Gates on a collaboration like this, but it’s not. Kevin sounds good and consistent, here. Seems like he flops on tha 1st appearance and comes back strong on tha 2nd appearance on mixtape compilations… Last, G. Wilson… Not too bad for an ending verse; it fits fa tha “5-0-4!” My Rating: 4.4


22. Ray Vicks & Lil’ Phat “Body Bag”
>>> Regular trap music; what else? Funny how everyone has all this kinda energy on a Vybe beat, LMAO! Same thing wit Lil’ Phat: fits fine; nothin’ else you can expect. My Rating: 4.1


23. Fiend & Curren$y “Wonderful”
>>> A lil’ laidback; glad it’s short fa this CD. It’s only decent for me; nothin’ really ta say, except that it’s a good collaboration. It prolly should be on mainstream outlets? My Rating: 3.6


24. Tim Thugga Feat. Carterboy “Keep It Real”
>>> Catchy hook from Carterboy; good character from Tim Thugga. Carterboy has a nice and mysterious voice comin’ through on this track! Love tha character and flow! My Rating: 4.3


25. Shell (Yung Thugga) & Savage “Solo”
Ooh, this looks really anticipatin’!! You know, I’ve always anticipated a collaboration like this!! >>> Nice, quiet, unexpected hook from Savage; he came outta nowhere, deliverin’ some laidback shit! Shell sounds good on this beat, too; nice and laidback that you can’t deny! My Rating: 4.4


26. A-One (Wissel) “Brother From Another”
>>> Nice beat, here; this sounds betta than tha song on tha previous compilation of N.O. To The B.R. I reviewed… Good rhymes; can’t complain, here. Tha hook’s catchy, too, as tha title keeps repeatin’! My Rating: 4.2


27. Lil’ Mike “Waist Line”
>>> Barely okay for me. This ain’t really for me wit tha typical sex/relationship content. Some of it sounds catchy, but that’s pretty much it. My Rating: 3.4


½time: Definitely a hot compilation CD with a bunch of great artists and new songs! Thumbs up ta err-body!! Let’s see how tha 1st disc ranks…

-----------------------------------
Average CD Rating:       4.2


Now, time fa Disc 2! Start Time: 11:41 AM | End Time: 12:07 PM


28. Raxx Feat. Brian “The Rap Pack”
>>> Interestin’ jam, even though I don’t go for some of tha “i” lyrics… Sometimes, I think tha lyrics aren’t for me, but that’s tha artist’s name I’m hearin’ (“Raxx”). Either way, between its good lyrics and tha beat, I’m likin’ it, minus tha money rhymes! My Rating: 4.0


29. Lucci Lu Feat. Lil’ Wayne “Wit A Lil’ Bit Of Money”
>>> Sounds gay wit tha background sample; why iz this mainstream shit here? My Rating: 2.4


30. Southn Belle “I Want It”
My Current Rating: 4.3


31. Dino Danja Feat. Dhat Fam & Yung Sicka “Gadget”
>>> Sounds good; I like how it sounds like an old dinosaur/skull-type beat background, like it was The Flintstones or somethin’. Good job wit tha collaboration, too. Some of tha lyrics are kinda cocky, but whateva. My Rating: 4.2


32. Bro-Bro Feat. Sam I Am “Cup Up”
>>> Some of these songs look familiar, but I guess not… I hate these cocky lyrics, but tha Big Josh beat, along wit Sam I Am collaboratin’, sounds good… My Rating: 4.2


33. Down Bad Feat. Quikkdraw “Murda Capital”
Missing tha “tal” in “Capi”? >>> Yea, tha letters are missin’; why? Tha beat sounds pretty tight and continuous, along wit Down Bad goin’ off, non-stop! As good as things are soundin’ wit Down Bad, here comes anotha unlisted feature: Quikkdraw! Why wasn’t he listed on tha feature? Such consistentness he’s bringin’ to tha table, here; gotta luv it!! My Rating: 4.6


34. Hatch Boy & Foxx “My Head Fucked Up”
>>> What I expected; good shit wit nothin’ ta really say… Matta fact, good collaboration ‘cause Foxx always tears shit up! My Rating: 4.2


35. Big Wayne Feat. DJ B-Real “Same Ol’ Shit”
Looks like my IDin’, only done your way? *Checks previous reviews* Yup! My Current Rating: 4.3


36. Young Ready Feat. Squad Life “Stomp”
>>> G-Motivation beat. Sounds familiar; I like tha “stomp” (ed?) attitude. Why does it sound like Level randomly appears in tha song? As always, it sounds good wit Young Ready on tha mic… Them Squad Life dudes sound fast; a lil’ confusing, at first, wit tha fastness, but it sounds like some good, street shit. My Rating: 4.4


37. Ray Vicks Feat. Locco & 38 Slimm “Road 2 Riches”
>>> Nice hook from Locco; he can sing his lil’ heart out and it works! Once again, more trap shit from Ray Vicks; nothin’ else ta say… My Rating: 4.2


38. Ray Vicks Feat. Squirm G “Doin’ 2 Much”
>>> Again, sounds good; nothin’ else ta say… My Rating: 4.1


39. Fee Feat. Ray Vicks “Restless”
Again, Ray Vicks? >>> Tha other two songs were betta; I don’t see anything grabbin’ me outta this joint… But, I guess it’s good for tha streets, once again? My Rating: 3.8


40. Hey Daem Feat. Dylan Cage & Ray Vicks “Be Like That Sometimes”
>>> Nothin’ new wit tha hook; boring… Ehh, not into tha flow, either; why 2010s rap?!? My Rating: 3.0


¾time: I liked tha 1st ½ of tha 1st disc betta… However, a 4.0-rated 2nd disc, so far…


41. Level Feat. Big Poppa “Wassam Wit Dat”
>>> Catchy, with good production. Sounds like a hot anthem; can’t deny Level, sometimes! Big Poppa ain’t too bad, either, wit how he comes through wit his catchiness… My Rating: 4.3


42. Coppertop Feat. Mouse On Tha Track & Bonka “Fresh Out The Box”
>>> X-Fyle doin’ tha beat… Sounds like a regular song; nothin’ really much ta say about this, except that it’s a good collaboration… Mouse and his undeniable voice… Bonka sounds good, too… My Rating: 4.0


43. Keedey Black “Rock My World”
>>> Ooh, some Blaq N Mild flava! Oh, iz this gonna remind me of Flipset Fred’s “Waistline”, tha 2012 female version? Sounds hot all tha way ‘round, except tha MJ sample; please, let him R.I.P.! He ain’t Louisiana!! He ain’t Louisiana!!! Go, Keedy Black!! Nothin’ but consistency, here; can’t deny tha sample now!! How?! My Rating: 4.6


45. Wochee “Gonzo”
>>> Even though I doubt him, he’s soundin’ good on this beat. Some of tha lyrics are boring, but tha beat helps him make this sound good… My Rating: 3.9


46. Netwurk Da Breadwinna Feat. Lil’ Mike “Bankroll Shawty”
Not lookin’ forward ta this title… >>> Yea, boring; why can’t people get past tha technology lyrics? Or, money? Money’s tha worst disease! It’s like, if you flash money, it’s like flashin’ dildos!! My Rating: 2.8


47. L.C. Feat. Delwin The Krazyman “Small”
Hope this takes less than 30 seconds to review! >>> Thank God for Fiona Apple and her hotness for bein’ on VH1 right now ‘cause it’s nice and distractin’ from one of tha dudes on here!! Can’t comment, but I have ta say that this iz okay; tha beat helps… My Rating: 4.0


48. Rudye Feat. The Hallows “I Do It”
>>> So short; J Fletcha’s rappin’, here (part of The Hallows?). Sounds good, but can we get some Rudye? Barely heard him on this; disappointin’, but an okay song, overall… My Rating: 3.7


49. J-Hustle Feat. Supa “Stompin’ On Roaches”
Same here! Hope this takes 30 or less seconds to review! >>> Huh? Where’s tha Johnny Hustle? Don’t make me feel uncomfortable! Fuck! And, a-tune over me on tha feature? Gay as fuck!! *Skips* My Rating: 1.0


50. Puppy “Freak Hoes”
>>> Good beat; boring topic; boring flow; barely decent for a song. My Rating: 2.6


51. Max Minelli Feat. Mista Cain “Point ‘Em Out”
>>> Anotha good beat; Max seems ta repetitvely show tha crowd what he’s got… Tha collaboration iz okay; iz it me or does Mista always act older than his age? Was he drinkin’ before 21? My Rating: 4.1


52. Lil’ Boxx “U Know What Time It Iss”
Finally, a new song from him! >>> EQ beat. I like how finally, we have a great artist and tha length’s long, tha way it should be fa Boxx! Sounds catchy wit this title always comin’ up… Nice and consistent wit his rhymes—not tha rhymes! It’s his rhymes! We learn about Boxx! My Rating: 4.3


53. Lil’ One The Champ “Questionnaire”
Why him? He doesn’t know how ta send people CDs in tha mail, smh! >>> Not likin’ tha beginning or tha beat; tha rappin’s good, though, but tha song ain’t for me, overall. My Rating: 3.5


Overall: Seemed like a good portion of tha 3rd ¼ wasn’t as good as some of tha rest of this CD… Also, there were some uncomfortable features; too bad 5150 doesn’t fall for anything! Oh wait, he sees people in person; why would anyone hate ‘em? People hate me ‘cause they don’t understand me; stupid fuckerz!!

Review #1,162: Kevin Gates "Make 'Em Believe (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl)"

Reviewed on 6.13.2012 (Review #1,162)



I’m up nice and early ‘cause I was featured in somethin’ that aired on TV, earlier today! I appeared in a Father’s Day edition of our local news, up here, but throughout tha whole Northeast PA! I even edited tha package, too, so I’m really gettin’ my name out there. Now, lemme see if I can get this review for Kevin Gates Make ‘Em Believe (Hosted by DJ Ya Boy Earl) done in time; got to go to my internship at tha local news station in 90 minutes! I know it took me a while to get to this, but that’s what happens when you release music during finals! Start Time: 7:34 AM | End Time: 8:03 AM
EDIT: It's now online; this was what I was a part of that aired on TV throughout all of Pennsylvania, today:


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 use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Intro (I Ain’t)”
>>> Nice intro from Earl, and good, consistent rhymes from you on this beat, Kevin! Tha beat almost sounds like it samples “Rocky Balboa”, at times; cool… My Rating: 4.4


02. “Make ‘Em Believe”
>>> Nice intro, anthemic beat music from EQ! Thought there was a singer like Dat Boy A on tha hook, but it’s you; real nice job! This definitely sounds like somethin’ that has potential in many ways, many areas!! Good rhymes, once again; you’re strictly holdin’ this shit down, but don’t be tryna sound like Rick Ross, quoting him… My Rating: 4.5


03. “Don’t Know What To Call It”
Izn’t this old? Got no time for this re-reviewin’ shit! Rather live in tha current times than those faggy dayz of 2009! I regret almost everything durin’ those dayz; what was I think wit all those fake-ass rappers that couldn’t afford a penny?! My Current Rating: 4.3


04. “Baddest In The Building”
>>> Sounds good, wit a lil’ mainstream vibe wit how you sound on tha vocals… Started off a lil’ mainstream, but tha fast rappin’ iz pretty nice. My Rating: 4.1


05. “Lingo” Feat. Bonka
Finally, a feature; let’s hear it! >>> Why iz this so quiet on tha volume? Non-mix-and-mastered? How would Young Money take a look at this if tha volumes are not all fixed? Anyway, feelin’ tha catchy “lingo” hook, and your rhymes seem to continue bein’ consistent. Tha beat also sounds like it can fit anybody’s interest; nothin’ too mainstream about it! Bonka has some catchy rhymes on tha 2nd verse; doesn’t exactly sound like him, at first, but he always lays it down fa tha Boot! I hear you spittin’ some catchy shit on tha 3rd verse, in a “dinner” night perspective. My Rating: 4.3


06. “You Can Leave”
>>> Okay, this iz more on tha typical rap of today, wit tha beat; kinda decent for a start, but nothin’ special, overall, since it sounds like all tha music comin’ out today. Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy wit tha voice, at least… Good rhymes comin’ through here, too. My Rating: 3.8


07. “Satellite”
>>> Kinda okay, but a lil’ more on a mainstream tip, once again; I don’t see anything starstriking wit this… My Rating: 3.4


08. “BBO (Brains Blown Out)”
Let’s see if you can handle an acronym. >>> Another quiet one, wit tha volume; ugh, that means more audio editing for me! Sounds a lil’ like talking/preachin’, here; could’ve had more standout sounds, here… Lol @ tha “masturbation in my mind like I’m fuckin’ you in tha cell;” good line, lol! My Rating: 3.7


09. “Never Change”
Another repeat song… My Current Rating: 3.8


½time: A 4.0-rated CD, so far; okay, at times, wit repeat songs and some good songs.


10. “Trap Girl”
Again… but, I’m feelin’ it a lil’ better than tha previous review. My Current Rating: 4.0


11. “Would You Mind”
>>> Feelin’ these descriptive, X-rated rhymes for a sex scene, here; good shit, Gates, as it’s nice and slow. I can picture some candles lit wit this one; great delivery wit this, too. My Rating: 4.1


12. “I Grind” Feat. Flame Gang Rocky
>>> Much better start, since we’re preparing for a collaboration! Feelin’ tha beginning wit tha communication goin’ on! Lol, now, it’s a song wit a blasting volume? I don’t get this inconsistency… Definitely some top-notch rhymes goin’ on, here; props to you, Gates! I dunno about havin’ a song 5:07 on tha length, especially for a mixtape? Kinda long? Tha FGR dude sounds okay wit his rhymes; I’ll leave it at dat. Now, he sounds a lil’ like Meek Mill? If that’s tha case, I hope you knew about him in 2008! Tha difference between me knowin’ who Kevin Gates and Meek Mill was was actually a difference of 26 confirmed dayz! First heard of you, Gates, back on February 16, 2008 (Pyrex Radio Vol. 4) and Meek Mill was March 13, 2008 at 5:01 PM, as I got tha ID to a collaboration he did wit Philly rapper, Joey Jihad, “Bossman”, thanx to my boy, Juice, which iz still my most-played song ever, wit over 600 spins!!! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Soldier Man”
>>> Sounds like a scary start, but an okay beat start… Sounds a lil’ creative wit tha sounding of it, but it’s kinda typical, at tha same time, wit these lyrics… My Rating: 3.8


14. “Love You”
Another repeat song; makes me get ready for my internship earlier, luckily. My Current Rating: 3.6


15. “Retawdid Fa Real” Feat. Flame Gang Flow
Great title, but now that you’re affiliated wit Young Money / Cash Money, I think this iz gonna sound, like, 0% Baton Rouge. >>> Yea, just what I figured, but it’s still good. Like, where’s tha DJ B-Real? Or, even EQ? Rhymes are good to hear, but how many times iz it just about tha rhymes? Also, this “don’t know what to call it” shit’s kinda gettin’ said too much… Hearin’ tha Flame Gang dude on tha 2nd verse, and whoa, this really ain’t for me, after all! What’s wit all these stereotypical rhymes of tha 2010s decade? So not for me; not tha rap I grew up with, especially in a Louisiana perspective! Sorry for goin’ off, but this iz a review, and I must state an opinion! Iz this tha same Flame Gang dude from tha previous feature? This iz “Flame Gang Flow”, but that was “Flame Gang Rocky”? My Rating: 3.0


16. “Dangerous”
Glad there’s no tag in tha beginning, but once again, goin’ back to those gay-ass dayz of ’09!!! My Current Rating: 4.6


17. “She Don’t Wanna”
Damn, again? My Current Rating: 4.4


18. “Paid In Full (Help)”
>>> Okay, but why are we only payin’ attention to lyrics? Gotta mix some fun in it! Sample in tha hook kinda ruins it for me; I’m done wit this… My Rating: 2.8


19. “Grinder” Feat. Beezy Bird
Damn, as far back as age 20? So, lemme just get brainwashed by tha next fucker (manager), do things for free, and have Louisiana people take advantage of me? …Not! I’m livin’ that 2012 life, especially since my cousin fatally OD’d on heroin a ½ year tomorrow! Can’t look back once December 14, 2011 happened!! Anyway, Beezy Bird goin’, “Bow, bow,” on tha song, so that’s good promotion! My Current Rating: 4.2


Overall: Well, most of tha new songs were either pretty good, or okay. There were a lot of repeat songs on here, and there wasn’t that many features, which I thought was interesting. There was more of a focus on you, which iz okay, but if every song iz meant to be lyrical, then there’s, like, no diversity; still, I support you, and I want you to keep goin’ at it! Also, are you gonna ever freestyle or be interviewed for my radio show? I’m only down to tha last two months!!
