Already
up to my 8th review today? That doesn’t seem typical, but I guess I
seem motivated ‘cause I’m mad!! It’s Jay
Regal Jay Bin Laden, uh-uh-uh-oh,
lol! Still wit Jungle Records, but this ain’t a Raw Ha release (that’s how long
it’s been since I have heard a Jay Regal CD). Start Time: 8:46 PM | End
Time: 9:23 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.
“Curtain Call”
>>>
I think this iz a good-soundin’ intro track; nice rhymes, within your
perspective… My Rating: 4.0
02.
“Shotgun” Feat. Pada
>>>
Hook and beat sounds good ta hear; good shit fa tha streetz… I’m likin’ your
street-type rhymes, here, when it comes ta how you handle your “shotgun,” ya feel me? Pada’s on tha 2nd
verse and he sounds a lil’ like a white dude, wit how he sounds; okay, but not
much energy goin’ on in tha flow… My
Rating: 3.7
03.
“Goodnite”
Or,
not as a compound word (“Good Nite”); let’s hear this J.A.P.A.N. single…
>>> This sounds like single material; sounds like one of y’all’s doin’
tha damn thang on tha hook! I think it’s M.A. on tha hook? Nearly tha same
voice, but whateva, this iz hot… Tha 1st verse iz good; it’s all
about not carin’ about others, which iz what I’m now developin’! Yea, here you
are on tha 2nd verse, Regal; you know what it iz…/I don’t need ta
say much… My Rating: 4.2
04.
“Lay ‘Em Down”
>>>
Anotha “gun” anthem; you can pull it off, unlike others. Speakin’ of a
“9millie,” I had one to me four years ago, on January 23, as a “joke,” smh!
Good, catchy verses fa your streetz, here. My
Rating: 3.7
05.
“Break It Down” Feat. Dude Blitz & DeeDee
>>>
Wasn’t expectin’, or anticipatin’ tha singin’, but if this iz about cuttin’ “work,” then I’ll let it slide…
LOL, you “count a lotta 100’s,” huh? How consistent are you wit it? Hope you
can do some of my services, soon… What’s up wit these random kids in tha
background? Soundin’ a lil’ too much… Dude Blitz sounds not bad on tha 2nd
verse; glad he’s makin’ an appearance, at least… My Rating: 3.8
06.
“What You Mean I Ain’t Gangsta”
Different
spellin’, this time… Sorry, but this iz complete novelty, bad luck music for
me, now; R.I.P. 2009, forever! My
Current Rating: 4.3
07.
“Chicks In The Living Room” Feat. Dino
I
don’t remember Dino’s name all capitalized… >>> Nas sample in tha
hook; sounds a lil’ catchy, as it repeats, so I don’t mind too much… Good shit
from you in tha 1st verse; keep this shit goin’, Regal. Dino sounds
nice on tha 2nd verse, too… My
Rating: 4.2
08.
“Caked Up” Feat. M.A.
>>>
Not tha kids in tha background, again! What iz this “best kept secret” shit?
:confused Thumbs up fa tha “puff and ride slow music,” Regal. Tha beat’s
soundin’ a lil’ borin’, here and there, but it’s not too bad for a song,
overall…; tha hook sounds regular, too. Let’s see M.A.—oh wait, that’s you on
tha 2nd verse? I guess I was too in-tune ta what I sayin’, and
figured dat he would be on tha 2nd verse or somethin’. Either way,
good job wit your “caked up” lyrics, J. My
Rating: 3.7
½time: Good CD, it seems like,
although I feel more in a decent mode; 4.0 for tha CD rating, currently!
09.
“Clickhouse” Feat. Redd & Pada
>>>
Sounds catchy wit this “and, I’ma break it off” shit repeatin’ in tha hook,
includin’ tha “clickhouse” shit. I’m likin’ tha shit you’re spittin’ in tha 1st
verse, Regal; nice job wit tha representin’… Hearin’ this 2nd verse,
and it’s okay, for a more-unknown rapper… My
Rating: 3.9
10.
“Psycho”
>>>
An intro skit goin’ on, here… After 1:21, tha hook’s finally here, and it
sounds good, except for a need of energy… If you really went “psycho” wit how your voice would sound on here, that
would be awesome! But, for this, it’s okay; thought I’d hear more than one
verse, but it’s cool… “Drag queen killa, I be dressed up as them hoes be;”
whoa! My Rating: 3.5
11.
“Holding”
>>>
More short music, which sounds good. Sounds like you’re “holding” a crown or
somethin’, based off your status, here; not bad… My Rating: 3.6
12.
“Say My Name Right”
>>>
Sounds like a catchy song; who doesn’t know how ta pronounce “Jay Regal,”
right? Catchiness, includin’ some decent rhymes… My Rating: 3.7
13.
“Just Waitin’” Feat. Lil’ Wubb
He
dropped tha “Lil’”? Prolly not… Too bad he didn’t have a passion for me, since
he only made one outgoin’ call ta me,
back on July 18, 2009, when I didn’t have service? Thank God I ain’t that
passionate about phone calls, anymore! >>> Must be Wubb in tha
beginning; okay… Not really anything catchy comin’ outta tha hook,
unfortunately; let’s see what you got ta offer on tha 2nd verse…
It’s okay; I don’t really have anything to really say about it. My Rating: 3.4
14.
“Louder”
>>>
Sounds okay; I don’t really have anything ta say ‘bout this one, too… Well,
I’ll say that I like when it says, “louder,” lol! My Rating: 3.8
15.
“Syrupee Flow”
>>>
I dunno how I can handle this different style wit tha beginning beat; lemme
hear what you got wit tha verses… Okay, nice “high” anthem; I’ll give it some
credit… My Rating: 3.7
16.
“D-Boys”
Tha
2nd single from J.A.P.A.N.; lemme hear it… >>> Yea, this
sounds catchy; betta than most of tha shit on here, so far… You know it’s catchy when you say, “D-Boys!
D-Boys,” ya feel me? Yup, “got hard, got soft, got blunts;” Jay Regal, tha
man!! Nice job wit tha 2nd verse, too; good, catchy ‘single’! My Rating: 4.2
17.
“Make ‘Em Mad”
>>>
Damn, tha kids are in tha background, again! :td This sounds like a decent
joint; what’s up wit all tha decent
music? I thought you had consistent, tight music? Guess it’s time for Raw Ha
Records to bring you back? My Rating: 3.6
Overall: Ehh, it was a lil’ above
average, but not tha shit I was used to, back in ’09…

Took way too long for me to hear your verse; not much interest for me… My Rating: 
Barely any interest, but now, you finally have better/consistent rhymes? Not too powerful of a mix, for me, unfortunately. My Rating:
