Reviewed on 2.07.2010 (Review #391)


Got anotha BoRob Entertainment review comin’ at cha right now!!! Here goes my review for iKane “American Eagle”!! Start Time: 5:02 PM | End Time: 5:55 PM


Quick Note: 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) so 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.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=150615427746


01. “Intro”
How will you start thangz off? >>> This iz coKane (from tha “Gucci By Gucci” mixtape). I guess you go by “iKane” for non-controversial reasons. Tha beat here sounds like a jacked beat but who knows. Yea, here you come on here wit a NICE flow!! Got 14 BANGAZ here; ‘preciate it!! My Rating: 4.1


02. “Made 2 Fly”
Of course, you’re an “american eagle” like tha CD title!! >>> R. Kelly sounds fucked up on this sample; too much in tha voice. Tha song itself iz just a lil’ below average for me but your rappin’ in your verse was above average. My Rating: 3.2


03. “Hood Anthem” Feat. Hollywood & A.u.
Shit yea, we got tha “Hood Anthem” on here again!! >>> Oh wait, I thought I knew this song… It’s different and tha hook iz okay; not really inta tha voice. Tha beat pretty good and tha 1st verse soundin’ pretty good. Hollywood ALWAYS comes through wit hot shit; glad he’s on tha 2nd verse!! Hope he comes out wit a mixtape soon; y’all REALLY on tha grind wit all these CDs!!! Let’s see what A.u. gon deliver fa tha last verse… He doin’ good wit how he comes through wit tha tracks! My Rating: 4.2


04. “Got Money”
There’s no title listed; let’s see what I can call it… >>> Tha beginning ain’t that interestin’ fa me but it sounds like it turns inta a mainstream-type of song. I’ll just call it “Got Money.” You’re doin’ a good job on tha 1st verse; nothin’ really ta say but thumbs up. Tha 2nd verse iz a lil’ betta here; keep tha rappin’ up. My Rating: 3.6


05. “Tougher Than” Feat. A.u. & Tezzy Maine
SMH @ tha wrong “then/than.” It’s “than,” not “then.” Now then, lemme check it out. >>> A.u.? Tezzy Maine? Not only tha “then/than” error but no source on tha features on tha info? SMH too… LMAO @ tha Weezy sample wit his “Nigerian hair” in tha hook! I guess A.u.’s first, doin’ tha damn thang here! He “huggin’ this game so tight like a bear!” DEFINITELY a good 1st verse from him, ya dig! I guess we got tha Tezzy dude up next! Good start ta his verse! Speakin’ of tha “bear” line, Tezzy’s “rare like an African bear,” lol!! You’re left, so let’s see what you got… A RAW start to tha 3rd verse! You REALLY doin’ a nice job here on this track, ya dig! Gotta luv tha “dawg” parts. My Rating: 4.5


06. “Go Flow” Feat. Gutta Squad
Don’t know what I’ll hear… >>> I heard “Gutta Squad;” are they on this? Again, you forgot tha source! Tha 1st verse good; nothin’ much but a flow here. I feel like nothin’s changin’ up here… There was even an outro on this, lol. My Rating: 3.4


07. “Cloud Dr.”
LOL @ this title; good shit! Hope tha song iz tha same as what I think! >>> Came through outta nowhere wit an okay beat start. Had a “Dr.” Mario invision for a second ‘cause of tha “Dr.” in tha title. Tha hook sounds good; I like tha screwed hook again. Not bad on tha 1st verse here… Towards tha 1:34 mark (wit tha “spit more coke” part), it sounds betta. Nothin’ really much ta say about tha 2nd verse though. My Rating: 3.5


½time: Not bad of a CD so far. It’s like back and forth between a real hot joint and an okay joint. Only 3.8 iz tha average CD rating so far; hope it goes up!


08. “Moved On”
Next joint… >>> Anotha start that’s a lil’ weird for me. Not really into this song; tha hook R&Bish. You’re doin’ a pretty good job on tha verses but this izn’t my kinda song. What a long last minute… My Rating: 2.3


09. “Spit Water”
Looks like a good title or a Weezy-type title. I’ll expect good for somethin’ only 107 seconds long. >>> This beat iz only decent for me but it’s above average; don’t like tha beat tag throughout it. You did ya thang wit tha rappin’; not bad. My Rating: 3.5


10. “Take You 2 Da Moon”
Now, it looks like a Kid Cudi title, lol. I hope this iz better… >>> Anotha weird intro wit tha beat… LOL, you said tha last title (“Spit Water”) immediately in this song, lol (when I didn’t even hear it in tha last song). Tha 1st verse was just okay and tha hook a lil’ betta; nothin’ spectacular though. Tha 2nd verse was like tha same to me. My Rating: 2.8


11. “Ya Gotta Feel Me” Feat. A.u. & Gutta Boy Gucci
I’m tryin’ to… Bear wit me. >>> LOL, Gutta Boy Gucci & A.u. on it. I rememba tha intro but iz this a title change? This was “I’m Ready” from tha “Gucci By Gucci” mixtape… That title looked embarassing so I gon change it when I can. Tha start in tha beat sounds a lil’ odd… Sounds like a jacked beat… Tha hook was good here. It sounds like A.u. iz on tha 1st verse? Good shit here. I think Gutta’s on tha 2nd verse here, spittin’ some life-type shit here for tha hood. You’re on tha 3rd verse here, spittin’ some consistent shit! My Current Rating: 4.1


12. “Dying To Meet You”
>>> I don’t like tha soft start. Tha hook too much not my style; sounds boring. No comment on tha 1st verse. I thought you had “coKane”-type rhymes? Can’t comment on tha 2nd verse; let’s just say it’s equal to tha 1st verse. My Rating: 1.3


13. “Tru Spitta”
I lost all my anticipation fa this mixtape now. >>> Oh God @ tha intro sample. Tha 1st verse iz a lil’ betta… Sounds like an I Wayne hook; this must be a jacked beat? A lil’ betta also in tha 2nd verse (from different songs on here, not tha 1st verse). My Rating: 2.4


14. “Thoughts”
Let’s end it. >>> Oh no, anotha Obama sample song? I heard one not too long ago on a review and it just made me lol. So, tha whole beginning iz a speech ova an okay beat? Tha hook finally came about 1:30 in and was only decent. I don’t know what ta say about tha 1st verse; what does it have ta do wit tha title? Okay, I heard tha hook again and at least it’s good ta “write.” My Rating: 2.7


Overall: Too bad this CD disappointed me in wayz. Only a few songs were hot.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=150615427746


01. “All I Know”
Not sure if I have this radio edited for my show; lemme hear it… >>> I always like your beginning part where you say, “Gutta.” I always say it, “Gud-da” (how it sounds). Tha 1st verse sounded cool; I’m always interested in your rhymes. Tha beat iz pretty good fa this too; tha hook iz good too. Tha singin’ in tha hook usually makes me think it’s for tha streetz. I believe dat singer iz on tha 2nd verse; you didn’t source who he iz though. It’s an above average-type of verse right here. Pretty good startin’ song here. My Rating: 3.8


02. “Nympho” Feat. A.u.
Iz A.u.’s name wit a capital “u” or small “u?” I’m gonna leave it small for now… This looks like it’ll be catchy. >>> Tha beat start sounds like a really slow “Low” wit tha sound effects. On tha slow tip soundin’ catchy here for tha hook. You doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse, Gutta! DEFINITELY liked tha fast rappin’ on this slow beat! Tha 2nd verse iz A.u., contributin’ good. He really on his sex tip here… My Rating: 4.2


03. “I Know (Remix)” Feat. A.u.
Anotha collab; let’s see how it goes! >>> LOL, Gutta, you LUV your “money,” lol! Pretty good beat once again and it’s a motivated/workaholic Gutta here! Nice job wit tha 1st verse and tha hook sounds good too! Glad ta have a motivation sound here, ya dig. A.u. iz again on tha 2nd verse, doin’ it fa his boyz here. He sounds good on this verse too, doin’ it for tha streetz. LOL, it ended right afta tha verse ended? A lil’ too quick? My Rating: 4.2


04. “Hoodstar” Feat. A.u.
How will y’all do it fa tha hoodz? >>> LOL, y’all are on a Vybe beat; how did this come about? NICE beat and NICE job wit tha hook! Glad ta hear A.u. again, as he doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1st verse here, gettin’ betta and betta!! “Two words: ‘always unique’” iz right!! Got you on tha 2nd verse here, spittin’ some good shit. My Rating: 4.3


05. “A Way Out”
What can I expect here? >>> Ooh, anotha Vybe beat!! Tha beginning beat could’ve been an interestin’ thing or a bad thing but it’s on tha interestin’ side here for a song that’s about “tryin’ ta get out” of a certain life. I didn’t know you were a “dope seller;” glad ta hear facts in your music. Plus, tha 1st verse was good ta hear about you. Tha 2nd verse even went good wit this song too. My Rating: 3.9


06. “In The Slums” Feat. A.u.
This iz a catchy title; I know I gon like it! Tell me, iz it a Vybe beat? >>> Doesn’t sound like it for a start. Tha beat sounds serious (in a good way) and tha start to tha lyrics iz different for a title like this (wit your “baby mama blowin’ you up”). Good job wit tha 1st verse and tha hook iz DEFINITELY nice; good shit! You’re even on tha 2nd verse here, Gutta! Nice job wit it too! There’s even room for a 3rd verse here… Or, there’s not; there’s nearly a whole minute left. Tha ending a lil’ scary; don’t need ta hear it, especially from a 2010 perspective. Props once again to A.u. for doin’ tha hook. My Rating: 4.3


07. “Doin’ My Thang” Feat. A.u.
I might’ve radio edited this one; I remember tha title. I forget how most of them went so lemme hear it. >>> Yea, I rememba this and it’s a Vybe beat! Yea, this a catchy one! I neva got ta play it on my radio show (I don’t think); I gotta rememba ta play it! Tha hook iz catchy ova this hot beat! LOL, it’s tha REALLY FAST Gutta here!! DEFINITELY a tight 1st verse right chea!! Tha 2nd verse from A.u. sounds hot once again; nice flow here! My Current Rating: 4.5


08. “Savages”
I like this title! You KNOW I like tha name/term “savage!” >>> LOL @ tha beginning; sounds like scattering. Tha sample sounds HOT! Sounds like it would come from a random Opera or somethin’, lol! TIGHT hook and now, you’re on tha 1st verse here spittin’ some of your shit! Good job wit tha 1st verse here; I see a future wit this song but I see a future wit tha previous song first! Tha 2nd verse iz raw but wit only 23 seconds left, tha hook ain’t gonna repeat? It should’ve came on one more time but it’s cool… My Rating: 4.6


09. “Go Back”
A flashback title… >>> Sounds like a slow song but a pretty good beat start here. LOL, you KNOW it’s my boy Vybe! Tha Auto-singin’ in tha hook iz okay; a lil’ odd but okay. Tha 1st verse was okay from you; good job wit all these rhymes. An unsourced female on tha 2nd verse; why no source? She did a nice job addin’ to tha song. You’re spittin’ some more shit on tha 3rd verse here; good job. This iz pretty good; I’m likin’ tha hook a lil’ betta now. My Rating: 3.7


10. “I Got Game”
Yes, you do! >>> You KNOW there’s “game” when there’s ANOTHA Vybe beat!! Damn, he hooked you up wit buku beats!! Prolly need a lil’ switch-up in tha flow here; it sounds like it’s not really changin’. Tha hook okay fa what it iz; it makes sense. Tha 2nd verse was okay once again fa what it was. My Rating: 3.7


½time: Comin’ through pretty good on this CD, Gutta! Keep up tha gr8 work as I got buku jointz remainin’ ta check out from you! Currently, 4.1 iz tha average CD rating!


11. “Guttaville” Feat. A.u.
FUCKIN’ LUV THA TITLE!!! Your titles are GR8 at times!!! >>> I know you had “Gutta Feel” on your 20-$taxx On Deck CD so this iz anotha “gutta” song. Sounds like I might’ve heard someone else use this beat but it’s cool on your end; nice hook! This iz DEFINITELY an upliftin’ start to tha 2nd ½ of this CD! You did yo thang on tha 1st verse here and tha hook once again sounds tight! Even A.u. on this? Why did you source him? He did a nice job teamin’ up on this joint too! Even tha 3rd verse did its thang on this too; nice job, my boy! My Rating: 4.4


12. “Blood In, Blood Out” Feat. Gutta Squad
Yea, anotha GUTTA thing!!! TIGHT title that’ll prolly be a Vybe beat too!! >>> Sounds like a cool start. Not Vybe but DEFINITELY hot still!! Tha hook was HOT and you doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse here, Gutta, lol. As good as you were on tha 1st verse, it sounds like tha 2nd verse doin’ tha damn thang too! DEFINITELY feelin’ tha “gutta” vibe throughout tha Gutta Squad!! Tha 3rd verse soundin’ good too on this shit; nothin’ but dat street shit to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.5


13. “Lullabye” Feat. A.u.
I have a feelin’ this’ll be weird. >>> Yuck at tha start; it’s even a Vybe beat. Tha hook a lil’ childish… Tha 1st verse just fits wit tha song itself; nothin’ too special. And A.u. was just nothin’ ta talk about wit his verse. My Rating: 2.3


14. “Pay 4 Dat” Feat. A.u. & Tezzy Maine
I might have this song too; lemme check. >>> I rememba tha start and it sounds good. Yea, this iz a tight joint; tha hook iz hot. Definitely keep this hot shit comin’!! Tha 1st verse from you sounds like you on your grind! A.u. sounds good on tha 2nd verse here; glad we’re back to tha street shit! Tha 3rd verse must be Tezzy Maine, doin’ a good job here! Forgot ta mention, Gutta, you’re doin’ a gr8 job wit dat hook (tha 2nd ½ of it) wit tha “we got it [money] stashed everywhere, even in tha car” part. My Current Rating: 4.4


15. “Snitch” Feat. Gutta Squad
Tha Gutta Squad iz back!! >>> Tha Gutta Squad feelin’ in tha beginning gives it a thumbs up! Gotta luv tha “gutta” feel (like your song, lol)! Nice job wit tha 1st verse too; gutta, gutta, gutta!! And speakin’ of Gutta, you’re on tha 2nd verse here, revealin’ tha “fakeness!” Nice job wit this shit; this shit go hard! My Rating: 4.3


16. “Throwback” Feat. A.u. & Tezzy Maine
You KNOW you doin’ it big wit your clique!! >>> Pretty hot intro here; reminds me of tha jiggalatin’ shit (‘cause I see tha title)! LMAO (smiles), it IZ a jiggalatin’ anthem!! You KNOW you goin’ hard wit an energetic style here; gotta luv it!! A “triple stack”’ll give you dat “gutta feel!” Tha beat (wit all tha clappin’) reminds me of tha Lil’ Issue/Q-Red song “Whop”! Let’s see what A.u. does on this song, lol? Yea, he a jiggalator! He did a good job wit how he came through on his verse! How will Tezzy Maine do on this shit? Iz dat him or you? I can’t tell… It was you and then, it went ta Tezzy real quick! It was like you had 12 bars and he had four. Your part was cool and his part was DEFINITELY hot ‘cause it was fast and he came outta nowhere wit some good shit!! My Rating: 4.8


17. “Doin’ My Thang II”
A Part 2 to tha song I heard before… >>> Sounds like tha beat a lil’ messed up or moanin’… Tha hook nearly sounds tha same but less catchy. It’s still a good song (of course) and now, I’m hearin’ you spit some “feelin’ on top”-type shit here on tha 1st verse! Matta fact, I just heard tha “Turn My Swag On”-type part in tha hook and it made me like it less now. LOL @ someone confusin’ you wit “Webbie” on tha 2nd verse, lol. Come ta think of it, when I saw a pic of you wit a grill, it almost gave me a Webbie feel, but it gives me a Gutta picture, you know. Tha rest of tha verse was you comin’ through. My Rating: 4.0


18. “Affair”
HOW GUTTAFUL, LOL!!! A “Gutta Affair!!” >>> You even started it off wit, “It’s Gutta!” Oh no, a slow beat… I thought it was a celebration? It’s mainly about you “havin’ an affair wit this drank you need;” okay. Tha 1st verse was okay; it ended good wit tha “blow” part (referrin’ ta smokin’). It was only one verse, lol? My Rating: 3.4


19. “My Life”
What do we have here? >>> More slow music to nearly end it off… I like tha “cup of wishes” part in tha 1st verse; you got some good terms here. You really “didn’t finish school,” yet kept “gettin’ suspended?” That sux. I NEVA had detention and sadly was close one time ‘cause I didn’t do my homework at one time in 6th grade but fuck 6th grade! They tried ta turn me inta somethin’ different! Tha 2nd verse still keeps it comin’ but this just sounds boring. Oh yea, tha hook iz betta than tha 2nd verse. I feel ya on tha “2nd guessin’” shit; I get dat all tha time. My Rating: 3.5


20. “Want You 2 Spend” (A.u. Feat. Gutta Boy Gucci)
Just an A.u. song ta end it off? How will it go? >>> LOL, a “Knock You Down” beat; no wonder why this a bonus. Iz it A.u. Feat. Gutta Boy Gucci? Tha 1st verse had nothin’ really ta quote but tha hook sounds cool ‘cause it’s singin’ like tha original hook! Tha 2nd verse sounded betta than tha 1st verse here; good shit wit tha rhymes! Now, I hear you; you’re prolly comin’ through on tha 3rd verse… Yup, you are (lol)! You REALLY NOT gettin’ “knocked down” here; you “doin’ ya thang!” Nice job wit this shit right chea! BRING BACK THA COOCH TO MY COLLEGE!!! She (Tha Cooch) left my college and she made this song an anthem!! My Rating: 4.3


Overall: I like how you came through wit this CD right chea, my dawg! I got PLENTY more ta hear so keep it locked and keep doin’ tha damn thang!!
