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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your
vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

C-Loc feat. Max Minelli “Can’t Be Both”
No
Track #2 but goes right into #3? Just gonna consider this one #2, tho…
>>> Sounds good ta hear Loc on a beat by you, Ken…; catchy lil’ hook…
Just regular rappin’, here, but I like tha beat more than Loc on here, tho… I’m
glad he got shit on lock, still, without agin’… Hearin’ Max on tha 2nd
verse and it sounds good; nice job wit this shit, as always… Anotha dude that
consistently brings tha heat without droppin’ like a fly! My Rating: 4.3
03.
Lil’ Soulja Slim & Kidd Kidd “My Comitty”
504 in tha buildin’, here… >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ “[Cutthroat] Comitty”-like vibe, here, wit tha hook and you on tha beat, Ken… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from tha Lil’ Soulja and it’s soundin’ nice ta hear, str8 from tha 5-0-4… Keepin’ it movin’ wit Kidd on tha 2nd verse, holdin’ it down, too… Overall, just a nice, regular-soundin’ joint, right chea… My Rating: 4.0

TY feat. Hot Boy Turk “‘Bout Whatever”
>>>
This has more of a Cash Money feel to it and I’m likin’ it a lil’ betta than
tha Lil’ Soulja Slim track… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from TY and it’s
pretty nice; definitely feelin’ this vibe… Hearin’ tha hook and yeah, just
luvin’ tha Cash Money vibe, once again! It’s almost as if Cash Money was an
undaground secret, again, str8 from tha Internet! Keepin’ it movin’ wit Turk on
tha 2nd verse, doin’ his thang, too; can’t deny it! My Rating: 4.3
05.
Pat-Pat “T-Off”
>>> I like that intro from you, Ken… Hearin’ tha beat and it sounds pretty dope, so far; can’t wait ta hear…! Tha hook’s pretty tight, here, wit how dude reppin’ fa all these hoodz and shit… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like dude holdin’ shit down; for tha streetz! Sounds like a different dude on tha 2nd verse, here? Two different voices? Either way, pure Baton Rouge, undaground music at its finest, here…! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it sounds more like dude on tha 1st verse, here… Needless to say, it sounds nice, of course… My Rating: 4.4

$hop With Ken feat. Pat-Pat “Playin’ Wit”
Lookin’
forward to hearin’ you as tha main artist! Also, my next Louisiana trip, I gotta try and link up
witchu, this time! >>> I already really like tha start wit tha beat,
here… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds less pure than tha beat intro but still
sounds like a nice lil’ track fa tha undaground… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse from Pat-Pat and it sounds off-beat, smh… Aight but damn, tha
disappointments are gettin’ in tha way from a great intro… Talkin’ toward tha
end, here… I’ono, I ain’t hear much Ken? I’ono, but this ain’t really go down
like I wanted it to… My Rating: 3.2

$hop With Ken feat. Jus Dillon “Both Sides”
>>> A nice lil’ slow track, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s decent; not too crazy about these real-life lyrics fa this slow-ride track… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s kinda ehh… Tha “if I die before I…” and “get ya paper up” shit’s ehh fa me… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s a lil’ betta but still a lil’ random fa this kinda beat… My Rating: 3.4

Racked-Up Ready “Goonin’ Out Of Foreign”
Str8
from tha gravez… >>> Sounds like a catchy lil’ hook from Ready, as
well as tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I recognize tha dude on
tha 1st verse’s voice but I can’t think of who it iz… Sounds like a
decent lil’ verse; kinda cocky and tha “money” shit’s startin’ ta make me feel
like, bleh… Hearin’ Ready on tha 2nd verse and it sounds good, here…
My Rating: 4.1
12.

pretty upbeat; good shit! Dat
Baton Rouge street shit’s on tha 2nd
verse, here, strictly holdin’ it down! Definitely feelin’ all dat aggression!

Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice from this VC dude…
Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha dude on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ a
lil’ more street wit this voice, right chea… Definitely feelin’ how it’s
upbeat, here… Soundin’ pretty consistent at 1:56, here! Lots of “eye”-soundin’
rhymes, here! Reminds me of tha ‘90s baby version of Percy Keith? We shall see
what kinda future he gon have! And, tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ nice ta
hear, here, with its street content… My
Rating: 4.2
Overall: Sounds like a CD that gon
