Review #1,198: Marcel P. Black "iLuv H.E.R. Too"

Reviewed on 9.23.2012 (Review #1,198)



Up next, a CD I bought online: Marcel P. Black iLuv H.E.R. Too! BTW, I gave you an extra dollar; why not? Start Time: 4:26 PM | End Time: 5:00 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!

© 2012 CD Review (Review #1,198) reviewed on 9.23.2012 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Rashid”
An intro from Nas, too… >>> Nas sounds a lil’ quiet in tha beginning… Prolly should’ve turned his volume up… This title looks familiar, but I don’t remember if I played it on my radio show or anything; played so many songs of yours on my show… Anyway, nice beat to rap on, you sound good, and this iz some good shit ta bob ya head to! My Rating: 4.3


02. “iLuv H.E.R. Too” Feat. Elespee
Title track. >>> Beat sounds good, here, too; anotha head-bobber! I like how you said, “TLC ‘Creep’;” good job mentionin’ dat song in a part of your rhymes! Definitely a nice job kickin’ ass wit tha rhymes, and doin’ a great job tellin’ your message! Thumbs up for tha hook, “too,” as well as all tha names I heard in tha hook! Elespee’s on tha 2nd verse, and he sounds great wit tha rappin’; feels like you’re on a fast road trip or somethin’, or sittin’ somewhere in tha hood! Whoo! You’re really rapid on tha 3rd verse, really enjoyin’ this shit! LOL, I like how you say, “bruh;” glad you’re really in tha mood fa this music shit! My Rating: 4.5


03. “eMCee Squared” Feat. Luke St. John
>>> Good intro; gotta keep tha “positive hip-hop” active, whereva it iz! Got Luke St. John kickin’ off tha rappin’, here, and it sounds nice ta hear; consistency at its finest! Did I forget to mention, this beat’s got a nice feel to it, NYC style! Tha hook sounds nice, too; I can feel it, wit tha sample and what’s good wit it. You’re on tha 2nd verse, and you’re comin’ through wit these worldwide rhymes! My Rating: 4.2


04. “eMCee Squared” Feat. IL Duce & Box
Anotha version, back ta back? >>> Beat’s different, here, but I like these rappers a lil’ betta, on tha feature! IL Duce’s startin’ it off, and you already know wit him: he kicks ass wit his rhymes, non-stop, wit, like, every lyric!! Real nice job, Duce!! I’m hearin’ tha hook now, and you got some tight shit goin’ on, here, wit tha “I’m a real MC;” plus, I really like how tha title looks! Here’s Box on tha 2nd verse, and he’s kickin’ ass wit his rhymes! It’s more like a callout to those bitch-asses! Speakin’ of which, I had one block me from Facebook ‘cause I reviewed a CD they produced a few jointz on. I actually said I liked their beats, and they untagged themselves outta tha post (that I do on Facebook of reviewz)! I asked them why they untagged me—as well as it bein’ gay, and they blocked me; WTF?!? Fuck!! Anyway, on a positive perspective, here you are on tha 3rd verse, and these rhymes are too kick-assy!!! You’re very consistent wit it, and you can’t be stopped!!! My Rating: 4.7


05. “Respect My Mind”
>>> Only 95 seconds long? Glad there’s some short songs ta go wit tha regular lengths; great way ta break it up! Sounds like straight-up rappin’ ova a nicely-produced beat! My Rating: 4.3


06. “Somethin’ 2 Say”
>>> Beat sounds good ta rap on; a lil’ slower, but tha hip-hop breathes in tha air! Hearin’ tha 1st verse, and it sounds good wit what you’re sayin’! Tha hook sounds nice, too, wit tha distorted voice! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too, wit how you’re tryna “prove” ta people! My Rating: 4.2


½time: So far, a nice job done!! I think my anger’s helpin’ me listen to this right now, when I thought I’d be opposite and impatient, lol! Currently, we’re at a 4.4 for tha CD rating, right now!!!! I have ta say, features help a whole lot; hope to hear more, here and there!


07. “Somethin’ 2 Say Too”
>>> This sounds pretty good, too; I almost feel tha same as what I did wit tha previous song! Good beat, great lyrics, and you don’t stop!! My Rating: 4.2


08. “What They Do”
>>> Yea, I feel you wit these lyrics; “what happened” to tha singin’ lyrics and shit “at tha concerts”? Great shit! Glad I buy music, here and there! Also, my reviewz are unique; I don’t see anyone else doin’ ‘em! Year-end countdowns—I can go on and on! Good job wit tha 1st verse; you did a nice job figurin’ out “what” happened! Tha beat sounds good, too, wit tha East Coast-y vibe; tha hook’s nice wit what you’re tryna say! I like tha random “what they do” sample, too; “Backstabbers” bein’ remixed in tha beat and err-thang in a non-boring way. It’s like, you don’t hear tha whole sample in its regular form! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse, and it sounds pretty tight; I agree wit tha “live wit your moms” shit. Even though I do, I can’t picture these rappers (or anyone) bringin’ up their “moms” in conversations, especially since I always got picked on, during my childhood! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse, and it sounds like you’re provin’ more to these “people;” good job! Thought there’d be only two verses, but you made this one longer. My Rating: 4.1


09. 1Luv: Interlude
Donney Rose doin’ tha interlude, here. >>> Nice prayer. My Rating: N/A


10. “1Luv: Revisited” Feat. James Jackson, A.R. & Truth Universal
>>> Startin’ wit a sample, remixed style… Tha beat ain’t too bad, but sounds good once you start rappin’ on tha 1st verse; good job! Tha hook sounds good; it’s like a New York-type joint wit tha “1Luv” shit. Hearin’ James Jackson on tha 2nd verse, and it’s a decent/above-average verse; I think you’re betta than him, though, Marcel. Outta nowhere, A.R. came and took off for tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse; pretty-good rhymes, here. Happy ‘late’ birthday; can’t believe he’s younger than me, too. Clean version of this CD? Interestin’… Hearin’ this Truth Universal dude on tha 3rd verse, and he’s got some good rhymes ta offer; good shit ta hear! Hearin’ IL Duce and Box were two of tha best of your collaborations, though! I’m listenin’ to you right now, and you’re nice and fulla rhymes! Can’t even say you’re hungry ‘cause you’re full, and are farting, burping, and lettin’ out all these rhymes! Now, this iz where a longer length helps—collaborations! Props to J Filly! My Rating: 4.3


11. “Celebrate (Remix)” (Common Feat. Marcel P. Black & John Legend)
Luke St. John on tha feature? Anyway, let’s see how you do wit this remix… >>> Could’ve added John Legend on tha—oh, that’s who tha John iz, lol. Didn’t say it in tha filename, but scrollin’ on tha Bandcamp link, it’s there. Also, this CD’s released on your birthday? That’s a nice present! Common’s part iz good to hear wit you, but let’s see what you really have ta—more Common! Prolly could’ve limited an inserted artist to one verse, but at least he ain’t wack… Good lyrics; good rhymes… Now, hearin’ you on tha 3rd verse, and yea, this iz tha voice I wanna hear! There’s attitude in your voice, while Common sounded a lil’ laidback for what your CD sounds like… But yea, nice job wit what you’re spittin’, “freedom” style! My Rating: 3.8


12. “Black President”
LOL, this ended a CD, once again. Oh wait, this iz a CD; previously, it was EPs… My Current Rating: 3.5


Overall: Seemed like one of your best? For bein’ double tha size of your EPs, you put a nice vibe, here, between your hood shit, attitude, and tha features were nice to hear!! Keep up tha great work, especially collaborations!!

Review #862: James Jackson "King James Versions (Chapter 1)"

Reviewed on 3.04.2011 (Review #862)




Review #10 for today: James Jackson, who celebrated a birthday yesterday; shout out ta him! Known for bein’ featured on some Lajah Music Group CDs, this iz his own CD, King James Versions (Chapter 1); I think he was a good rapper… Either way, some of tha tags on DatPiff were a lil’ scary for me; I have ta like Drake or Kanye West ta like dis? Hope dat ain’t tha case… It would’ve been betta if tha description, or tags, had tha label you’re signed to so I know you’re not unsigned or whateva. Start Time: 7:57 PM | End Time: 8:17 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.

Hope it’s good! >>> *Rolls eyes* Here we go wit tha jacked beats again… At least you’re not wack wit tha rhymes but still, better beat? My Rating: 3.3


02. “I Mean Business”
>>> Not my cup of tea for tha beat chosen but let’s see what happens… Just decent fa me. Tha hook’s pretty good… My Rating: 3.1


03. “Bragging Rights”
>>> Too long of an intro; anotha weak beat… Somewhat-good rhymes but really low interest fa me. My Rating: 2.6

07. “Relations”

08. “Copastetic”

½time: 3.0, currently.


09. “Light Up”
>>> Better rhymes; least you tryin’, this time. Either way, this ain’t tha kinda shit I’d hear on a daily/weekly/typical basis. My Rating: 3.2

11. “Monte Carlo Music”
Not here. My Rating: N/A


12. “Top Suite”

14. “Current Events”
Not here. My Rating: N/A


15. “Out Of This World”
>>> Scary tags goin’ on; must be a bad choice of a beat. C’mon wit tha long intro… No interest and no comment from me. My Rating: 2.3


16. “Dead Presidents”
Damn, why you fuckin’ up tha tracklisting? >>> SMH @ this beat; GTFOH! No comment! My Rating: 1.8

Tha J Buc-produced song’s on here, soundin’ REAL GR8 again!!! Tha beat start sounds interestin’ here; good beat!! Tha hook’s definitely focused here and iz tight!

I had my anticipation ready in tha beginning! “Hey, hey, hey, hey! … Ham, not bologna!!” :rofl :rofl Good Ready shit goin’ on here in tha 3rd verse; he that focused, huh?

Cheez of Down Bad, lol. >>> Chris James = “This iz (this iz)” beat tag all along?

You’re on tha 1st verse and it sounds like you’re DEFINITELY havin’ “a grinda” status, ya dig! I feel like I REALLY wanna get this shit on tha radio, regardless of tha “asshole” part in tha title! Q-Red on tha 2nd verse? Then, why tha hell’s Ready 1st in tha ID? :confused Sounds cool wit Q-Red here; I had my anticipation ready in tha beginning! Good Ready shit goin’ on here in tha 3rd verse; he that focused huh? Wish he would focus on me more wit certain thingz. Regardless, I’ll keep pumpin’ tha reviewz out there like it’s nothin’ (same thing wit tha videoz)! My Rating: 4.6


02. “It’z About 2 Go Down”
Looks familiar wit Ice Redd on tha beat… LOL, it was tha name of dat multi single review I did tha otha day… Tha beat’s pretty cool and tha hook sounds good… Tha 1st verse starts off wit a “Louisiana” beginning; good shit! Nice job holdin’ it “down” for tha Boot! Pretty good wit how tha 2nd verse sounds. I look forward to hear who else you team up wit! You even provided a 3rd verse, which fit good on this shit too… <- add:="" b="" to=""> Who’s “AJ?” Can I write him? Also, I like tha lil’ “Gardere” shout out in tha 2nd verse! I feel this more than tha 1st time I heard it… My Current Rating: 4.3


03. “I’m A Grinder” Feat. Adlib
J Hook beat this time; let’s see how gr8 this’ll be… >>> Ooh, cool start in tha beat… Good hook but scary 90’s R&B-type background vocals… Sounds good wit your rappin’ on tha 1st verse here; catchy rhymes. Tha 2nd verse keeps this shit hot, ya dig! This iz 4:43 and there’s only two verses? :confused My Rating: 4.0


½time: DEFINITELY a GR8 EP from you, my boy! A 4.3 average CD rating so far; keep up tha GR8 work!!


04. “Ciroc (Remix)” Feat. James Jackson & Level
Once again, J Hook on tha track! What’s this title? “C-I-Rock?” >>> Oh, so tha “dah-duh-dah-duh-duh” sound effect iz J Hook’s beat tag? Oh… Very hot hook!! Oh, it’s a drink? I thought it was like “see, I rock” or somethin’ like dat, lol! Nice job deliverin’ tha 1st verse to tha fullest, ya dig!! Huh? Newbie James Jackson on tha 2nd verse? What’s wit tha fucked up order in tha ID once again? Hope there’s no dickridin’ wit whoeva made tha back cover… Anyway, good shit for a newbie; I’m feelin’ it! Feelin’ how Level’s comin’ through on tha 3rd verse wit EVERYTHING he spittin’; DEFINITELY luv Level to tha fullest!! My Rating: 4.8


05. “Inked Up”
Not even on tha back cover or on tha DatPiff tracklisting, smh… I hope I can ID everything on it… >>> Sounds familiar but I didn’t see it anywhere… Good rhymes here ova dis catchy beat! Tha hook’s okay and sounds good when it’s on this beat… Tha 2nd verse iz interestin’ throughout tha hood too; dat beat’s consistent! “Tattoo shop” anthem, lol! My Rating: 4.1


06. “Gotta Get Dat Paper” Feat. Y-Kean & Adlib
Must be from tha otha CD based off tha features and tha Ice Redd beat… Yes, it iz and what a way to ruin a 5-star automatic rating, smh… I’m really not feelin’ all this 90’s R&B-type shit goin’ on within tha 1st 49 seconds; boring… Tha 1st verse’s barely on tha okay level for me. Tha 2nd verse iz dat Y-Kean gurl… Not much interest in this song overall. My Current Rating: 2.6
EDIT: Back cover says #5 (which iz what I went by) but DatPiff tracklisting iz completely messed up and mp3 file has it as #6? Also, they’re missin’ “Inked Up” on tha back?


Overall: Doin’ tha damn thang!! DEFINITELY feelin’ your connection ‘round tha city of Baton Rouge, ya heard me? Keep doin’ ya thang to tha fullest and stay on dis music shit!

Review #555: Percy Campbell "It'z About 2 Go Down (Tha Multi Single)"

Reviewed on 7.19.2010 (Review #555)


Up next, for tha triple five review (lol), it’s a lil’ bit of Percy Campbell “It’z About 2 Go Down (Tha Multi Single)! Start Time: 9:02 PM | End Time: 9:28 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.

© 2010 CD Review (Review #555) reviewed on 7.19.2010 by FrankieThaLuckyDog. Other than tha main artist or affiliated people with tha main artist, this review iz to not be used in anyone else’s words!



01. “It’z About 2 Go Down”
Ice Redd on tha track… How will this be for a start? >>> Tha beat’s pretty cool and tha hook sounds good… Tha 1st verse starts off wit a “Louisiana” beginning; good shit! Nice job holdin’ it “down” for tha Boot! Pretty good wit how tha 2nd verse sounds. I look forward to hear who you team up wit! You even provided a 3rd verse, which fit good on this shit too… My Rating: 4.1


02. “Talkin’ ‘Bout Money” Feat. Y-Kean & James Jackson
Lookin’ good on tha newbies on tha feature! Ice Redd on tha beat so I look forward ta hearin’ some mo new shit, ya dig! >>> Tha beat’s good/a lil’ above decent here and tha hook iz tha same too. Tha 1st verse iz okay; sounds good for tha South here. A gurl on tha 2nd verse (she was also on tha hook); not sure if this kinda song needed a female rappin’… Tha 3rd verse was aight… I could’ve heard betta on a typical title/song like dis… My Rating: 3.6


03. “Do What I Do”
Enest did this beat; let’s see what’s good… >>> This iz betta for a beat here! LOL, tha transition from tha beginning to tha hook wasn’t dat strong when it came to tha quality. It doesn’t matter that much; tha hook’s betta here than tha last song. Tha 1st verse’s a lil’ catchy wit tha rhymes… Not that much catchiness as what I wanted but it’s above average. Tha 2nd verse sounds like I’ve heard this type of shit a bunch of times. My Rating: 3.8


½time: Betta than nothin’; it’s aight for a start. You have a 3.8 for tha average CD rating at tha moment.


04. “Gotta Get This Paypa” Feat. Adlib & Y-Kean
>>> Anotha Ice Redd beat but I’m really not feelin’ all this 90’s R&B-type shit goin’ on within tha 1st 49 seconds; boring… Tha 1st verse’s barely on tha okay level for me. Tha 2nd verse must be dat Y-Kean gurl ‘cause she’s back… Not much interest in this song overall. My Rating: 2.6


05. “True 2 This” Feat. Ronny My
Ooh, a Ronny My collab wit Sims on tha beat! Only problem iz this didn’t download when I downloaded tha DatPiff folder. I’d suggest re-uploadin’ it ‘cause now, I have to hear it via tha player online… >>> Good beat start. LOL, slowin’ down in tha beginning? I’m feelin’ how tha 1st verse’s comin’ through; nice shit here on this beat. Tha hook sounds catchy. Let’s see what Ronny’s got ta offer on this joint… Good shit from him; you have a nice combo here from tha feature to tha beat! Thumbs up to tha “true” shit from Ronny My on his verse, just keepin’ it real! My Rating: 4.2


06. “Do Da Damn Thang”
Tha final song produced by Ice Redd, lol. Let’s see how we end it. >>> Sounds like it gon be an anticipatin’ endin’ song… Anotha “Git It” song? Heard Bun & tha Ying Yangz do this kinda song back in ’06… Sounds like you’re tryin’ to make a good club song… This iz only okay for me; more action needs to occur in tha beat. Tha only thing poppin’ iz how you rockin’ yo shit here. I like tha “‘so gone’ like Monica” part in tha 2nd verse ta start it off. I would’ve been okay if tha song ended at 3:22; it didn’t need to be this long for a 3rd verse/4:33 on tha length. However, I’m likin’ tha 3rd verse a lil’ bit ‘cause it’s catchy. I’m just sayin’, it’s kinda long for an okay club song. My Rating: 3.8


Overall: Anotha decent CD I reviewed. This was more like a single (accordin’ to tha title) but sounds like a lil’ EP. Looks like you can be a cool dude ta fuck wit.
