Review #579: Monsta "Blak Heart Attack: The Mixtape (Hosted by Ross P)"

Reviewed on 7.23.2010 (Review #579)




Time fa anotha Monsta review although tha description says there’s a bunch of R&B samples? I don’t know how anticipated I’ll be but here’s my review for his “Blak Heart Attack: The Mixtape (Hosted by Ross P)” CD. Start Time: 10:54 AM | End Time: 12:01 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.

01. “Number One”
Yup, first joint here, lol. >>> LOL, it sounded like a quick start, lol. Good mixin’ of your songs! Okay, now, I hear Ross P in tha beginning, speakin’… Sounds like an Usher song? You’re here on tha 1st verse, finally, and it sounds like you deliverin’ good rhymes… A whole verse, lol? My Rating: 3.1


02. “Again & Again”
Uh oh, might be really explicit, lol? >>> John Legend kinda song, lol? Okay for your part… Good phone call at tha end. My Rating: 3.0


03. “Prototype” Feat. Bookie Blak
Who’s tha feature? Kinda small on tha back cover. Iz this tha Outkast beat? >>> Okay, good, it iz. Sounds like a Lil’ Wayne voice on tha 1st verse, lol? This iz interestin’ fa what it iz… Okay, I spelled tha featured artist right; he did a pretty good job. My Rating: 3.4


04. “Forgive Me” Feat. J Miles
>>> LOL, I recognized this Maxwell song ‘cause Music Choice Dance plays an R&B-Dance mix late at night; pretty good choice here… Good rhymes here; I feel like this CD’s just gettin’ betta lil’ by lil’… My Rating: 3.8


05. “Miss You” Feat. Nikki B & J Miles
Let’s see this one… >>> Okay, tha Angie Stone song dat was big in ’02 (mainly tha Dance mix as everyone knows it by). Tha Nikki gurl sounded like she collaborated good for you here… My Rating: 3.5


06. “Going Crazy” Feat. Tion
Iz this tha Natalie song? >>> Sounds like a slowed version of it… It kinda iz but tha vocals are pitched up in tha hook? Catchy 2nd verse from you here… My Rating: 3.7


07. “Complicated” Feat. J Miles
>>> Raining start… Sounds like a Nivea song now. I think this was her album name from ‘04/’05? Okay song wit a good call at tha end too… My Rating: 3.2


½time: For an R&B-type album, it’s good, although it ain’t fuckin’ wit Sade, lol! A 3.4 average CD rating so far…


08. “Re-Invented Sex” Feat. J Miles
Let’s see this Trey Songz song. >>> Sounds like him in tha beginning? Do you guys just blend your voices together or somethin’? I really like this rappin’ on tha 3rd verse from you; good shit! My Rating: 3.5


09. “Flex”
>>> Ooh, tha Reggae song; good choice. You sound good wit tha Jamaican vocals too on tha 1st verse. LOL, here’s tha hook! Tha rest of it’s gr8 too, ya dig! I like all these phone calls at tha end once again! My Rating: 4.1


10. “Weekend Lover” Feat. J Miles
>>> Good start wit tha rhymes. Sounds good for a rendition of a Jamie Foxx song. I like how there was a pause in tha middle. My Rating: 3.7


11. “Desire”
If it was Utada, then it would be a “dirty desire,” lol! >>> Almost six minutes here; let’s see how this’ll hold it down… Nice and long and sounds good to fall asleep to… My Rating: 2.9


12. “Lights Off”
>>> A decent R&B song here; you are always catchy on these tracks! My Rating: 3.3


13. “Babi”
LOL @ tha “i;” how ‘bout some Sade soon? >>> Makes me think of their “Babyfather” song, lol. Sounds screwed or somethin’… GR8 “babi”-makin’ music, lol! My Rating: 3.6


14. “Whateva” Feat. J Miles
>>> “Last song?” What’s #15 then? I don’t know how anyone could get “a female” to “knock on your door/windows @ three in tha morning.” Sounds like a familiar R&B singer but I can’t think of who it iz… Pretty good ending song… My Rating: 3.4


15. “Mr. Radio”
Let’s see this… >>> I thought it was a “radio” edit tha 1st time I saw tha title… I didn’t think this was gonna be a song but it sounds pretty smooth for an actual ending. My Rating: 2.8


Overall: Not bad… Pretty good for an R&B CD once again; interestin’ route you went wit dis…

01. “Last Verse”
“Last Verse”? This tha “beginning” song, lol? >>> LOL @ tha DJ; this might be betta, finally. Tha beat’s REAL HOT and you say, “Killa Sounz?” Lemme see if you’re cool wit him on MySpace… Not in your top friends but I see Sims in your top friends so you must be connected! Dat’s good dat you have a connection like dis! Strong rhymes here wit a strong attitude! Damn, you’re still goin’ here!! Pages of rhymes here on this REAL TIGHT lil’ freestyle-type track!! My Rating: 4.7


02. “Hotboy” Feat. Slaughterman & Sin Sity
Let’s see this one and this collaboration! >>> Sounds good and tha sample sounds good on this track too. I hear you (or whoeva’s doin’ some of tha background “bow”s) imitatin’ Beezy Bird’s “bow! Bow! Bow, bow, bow!” shit, lol. Good job on tha 1st verse and lol @ tha DJ on tha 2nd verse… Ooh, a “G-Lane” representa on tha 2nd verse since he “grew up” there! Good shit right chea fa tha hood, Slaughter! Sin Sity’s on tha 3rd verse and I’m definitely feelin’ what he bringin’ here wit dis fast rappin’ and gangsta shit! My Rating: 4.4


03. “Money Make The World Go ‘Round” Feat. J.Miles
Looks like a single; lemme hear it. >>> Not bad so far; good 1st verse… Tha singin’ on tha hook sounds good wit a good flow. Nice shit on tha 2nd verse too; consistent lil’ joint for tha hood. Tha 3rd verse has a good lil’ vibe fa this too. Once again, all tha verses, hook and beat held this down. My Rating: 4.0


04. “Betta Get You One” Feat. Slaughterman & J.Miles
Shit, yea! Tha G-Lane dude’s back in tha buildin’! >>> This iz more smooth on tha production so we’ll see what happens… Tha 1st verse iz only okay for me; I don’t think I’ll be feelin’ this one as much as tha otha songs. I think tha hook’s catchy wit when it says tha title, lol. ROFL @ tha DJ yellin’, “My direction!!” Tha 2nd verse fits wit this joint too… “Barbie” girl and boy here on tha 3rd verse’s lyrics, lol… My Rating: 3.4


05. “Anotha Day” Feat. Hott & Bread
Like hearin’ new artists so I look forward ta this, even if tha title’s a lil’ weird fa me. >>> Tha beat sounds real old; I dunno if I can handle tha DJ at times…; it’s like a Drama voice. Sounds like 90’s wit tha sample in tha hook; I almost feel like this iz my Louisiana Reviewz Marathon right here. LMAO @ tha cut off vocal before tha 1st verse!!! Okay verse for a song like dis… Tha 2nd verse’s spittin’ some gutta/hood shit… Just like tha 2nd verse, I’m likin’ how tha 3rd verse’s comin’ fa tha hood. My Rating: 4.0


06. “Beginning Of Da End” Feat. Grits Gutta
Still lookin’ forward to your team! >>> Plain start; not really inta this… This iz a funny-soundin’ lyrical song for me; I’d rather hear betta production. Tha dude on tha feature must be on tha 2nd verse; sounds betta wit this attitude! LOL @ “sendin’ Obama a dolla!” I believe you’re back on tha 3rd verse; not really feelin’ tha voice fa this, unfortunately. My Rating: 2.8


½time: Much betta of a CD than what I’ve been reviewin’ recently! A 3.9 average CD rating so far, ya dig.


07. “All I Need”
>>> Sounds like a weed anthem? Shit, yea!! Tha beat has like a 90’s feel to it and there’s an interestin’ female vocal sample in tha background. You sound a lil’ depressed on tha 1st verse? Maybe you’re just gettin’ loaded? Tha hook’s cool; a lil’ too laidback though but I like it. Sounds like random lyrics on tha 2nd verse, lol? I like dat this iz “hit-tha-highway music.” My Rating: 4.3


08. “God’z Mastapiece”
>>> Iz this a continuation from tha last joint wit tha coughin’ in tha begnining? I don’t really feel these kinda titles… No changin’ in tha verse? Sounds too long… My Rating: 2.6


09. “Letter To Soulja”
>>> Oh no, more on a depressed note and jacked beat this time. Good thing dat this iz for (I believe) “Soulja” Slim but for a song, no… Damn, only ½ way through? This iz longer than tha last song and sounds like it’s draggin’ for me. It switched a lil’ at 2:51… Damn, more rappin’ on this? I thought tha outro just came? It’s neva endin’… My Rating: 1.5


10. “Table” Feat. Tion
Maybe this’ll resurrect this CD…? >>> Dry beat start… Tha 1st verse’s kinda boring until tha “spit this backwerdz” shit came outta nowhere. I thought tha “backwerdz” shit was tight. Where’s tha featured person? What? A gurl? Would’ve expected much betta than this…; she sounds too young fa dis… Overall, this was boring/waste of 4:11. My Rating: 2.2


11. “Gamma”
? >>> Scary start; ANOTHA CD goin’ down tha drain! GAY-ASS BACKGROUND IN THA BEAT!!! No further comments… My Rating: 1.0


12. “Spittas” Feat. Sin Sity & Tion
>>> LOL @ tha random resurrection; I wasn’t gonna believe it ‘til I heard tha beat. I like tha “goin’ hard like loratabs and xanabarz” part; good shit here! Tha catchy rhymes play a good part here, ya dig! Sin Sity’s on tha 2nd verse here; gonna put him before Tion on tha ID ‘cause he’s 1st… This shit’s consistent on this beat. ROFL @ tha random “free Kevin Gates” from tha DJ! Tion’s a lil’ betta here and on an aight/decent level wit spittin’ on tha mic. But, I’d ratha hear someone like Slaughterman; keep this an all-male joint. I like how she ended tha song! My Rating: 4.3


13. “Same Nigga”
Very long for an endin’ song; betta not bore me! >>> Fuck! It HAD ta be a typical beat? How am I gonna deal wit this for anotha 6:08? You can turn a listener off without transitionin’ or anything. Oh, there’s shout outs, finally, towards tha last like two minutes… LOL, tha last minute went without a beat, str8 acapella on tha outro… I don’t understand how certain people can agree wit each otha when it comes ta talkin’ at times though… My Rating: 1.8


Overall: Anotha CD dat turned into a disappointment… Tha beginning was off to a REAL GOOD start too!! I thought this was an easy resurrection from tha wackness I’ve been reviewin’…? I think you are a good rapper (same wit your team). But, once again, poor choice of certain songs, especially since this iz a “mixtape.”
