Review #1,865: Katey Red & Dem Hoes "Melpomene Block Party EP"

Reviewed on 12.15.2019 (Review #1,865)

Gettin’ as many reviewz I can get done as possible, before tha year ends! Up next, it’s N’awlinz’ own, Katey Red & Dem Hoes Melpomene Block Party EP, released in 1999 on Take Fo Records…! Start Time: 7:44 AM | End Time: 8:10 AM

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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “This Is Katey”

>>> Nice bounce vibes; Katey almost sounds like a dude? I know there was some non-straight sexuality with some of ‘em, in tha N.O.? Either way, an okay start, here… My Rating: 3.7

02. “Melpomene Block Party”

>>> Off tha Jackson 5 sample, here, strictly fa dem bounce head—wow, 8:39 on tha length! Lol @ 2:09: “Somebody smell like… (shit)!” This whole joint rolled; I ain’t say much but it was entertainin’…! My Rating: 4.2

03. “Twerk Somethin’” feat. Big Al & Lil’ Tee

>>> Sounds good, here; anotha simple-soundin’ beat, though not a full-on bounce one… Feelin’ tha party/N.O.-type flow, here… As this consistently continues, there’s not much I have to say; it’s a nice lil’ continuous vibe… My Rating: 3.8

04. “Lick It! Suck It!” feat. K.C. Redd

>>> Anotha nice lil’ typical sample ova this bounce beat; nice energy, here! My Rating: 4.0

05. “Melpomene Block Party (Radio)”

See #2 fa tha review…

06. “Bigg Ramp (Remix)” feat. Bigg Ramp

>>> Sounds good wit this street vibe; Ramp got some flowin’ flows, here… Why a censored part at 1:19? Either way, not too bad, all tha way round… My Rating: 3.7

07. “Bitch, You Know Who I Am” feat. Big Al & Lil’ Tee

>>> Sounds good & hype on tha hook, here; beat kinda plain, tho, tho upbeat… My Rating: 3.5

08. “Melpomene Block Party (Live)”

Review #1,399: DJ Tank "Da Return Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 5.22.2014 (Review #1,399)

Keepin’ tha reviewz goin’, I think I oughta show luv ta my boy, DJ Tank, who added me on Facebook last year, outta nowhere! Been meanin’ ta show him luv and now, I gon review his archive of CDs! First up, it’s Da Return Vol. 1, featuring bounce remixes! Start Time: 6:25 PM | End Time: 7:15 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! After I was robbed by an artist who claimed they “get money,” hearin’ about how much you “got money” and anything “money” really bothers me. If you have not done business wit me before, I won’t tolerate “money” talk in tha music!!

01. Beyoncé “1 + 1 (DJ Tank Mix)”

Okay, then… >>> Random, though it sounds listenable/enjoyable wit tha bounce vibes… My Rating: 3.3

02. Alicia Keys “No One (DJ Tank Mix)”

LOL… >>> Quiet start, but I’m diggin’ tha, “C’mon, Tank! Break dem hoes back! B-B-Break dem hoes back!” Either way, nice beat, even though I liked tha Chopped & Screwed version I heard in ’08 betta! My Rating: 3.5

03. 6^th Ward Queenie “6^th Ward (Remix)”
Hmm… >>> This sounds nice; diggin’ tha true, 504-type shit, here! LOL @ tha “What Is Love” sample in tha background, randomly! Addictive; seems really long when it’s repetitive, but it rocks! My Rating: 4.3

04. Ciara “And I (DJ Tank Mix)”
>>> Never really was a fan of this song, but I’m diggin’ this even-faster bounce vibe. My Rating: 3.1

05. Heather Headley “In My Mind (DJ Tank Mix)”

Mid 2000’s, again… >>> Kinda slow with tha vocals, within this mix. Ehh, it’s okay… My Rating: 2.5

06. Katey Red “Wobbley Wobbley 2012 (DJ Tank Mix)”

>>> This iz what I’m talkin’ ‘bout, lol!! What a voice and crazy “booty” wobble, lol!!! Crazy tha whole way ‘round!! My Rating: 4.5

07. Jill Scott “He Loves Me (DJ Tank Mix)”
LOL! >>> I like this song, although it sounds a lil’ boring, at tha moment. Still, nice bounce effort, though. My Rating: 3.2

08. Tamia “Officially Missing You (DJ Tank Mix)”
>>> This song always keeps re-appearing in remixes, no matter what year it iz. Kinda slow in tha beginning, for a while. Finally, tha beats come, though it’s just aight, like Jill Scott. My Rating: 2.9

09. Sissy Nobby “Ack An Ass”

An original song, finally? >>> Pretty hyped-up, here; gotta luv it!! “Ack a—ack a—ack a—ack a…;” wow!! Some slow Rihanna “You Da One” in tha background, randomly tryna throw me off… Bass iz crazy!!!!! Especially around tha 1:55 mark!! There’s plenty other parts, too, like, right before tha “ack a—ack a…” shit! My Rating: 4.7

10. 6^th Ward Queenie “Trouble Dis”

Anotha Queenie joint! >>> When tha beat stopped around :09, I thought that anticipated me fa this ta go nuts, lol! Pretty nice, straight “bussin’!” Great, but then, around 1:56, it broke down ta a slow, Timbaland & OneRepublic “Apologize”. Luckily, it wasn’t that long; this joint survived! My Rating: 4.0

½time: I think this iz pretty nice, so far. Maybe not too crazy with tha remixes to old songs, but tha bounce vibe’s always there! An average CD rating of 3.6, currently; let’s keep this party pumpin’!

11. Babyface “Loneliness (DJ Tank Mix)”

>>> A great R&B song and an okay remix, here… Tha bounce vibes give it that pump, fa tha 504! My Rating: 3.7

12. Amanda Perez “Angel (DJ Tank Mix)”

LOL, it’s just called “Angel”, instead of “God Send Me An Angel”. Anyway, talk about Throwback Thursday, lol! Who would’ve thought she’d break into tha mainstream, and be a one-hit wonder? >>> Sounds great; luv how it’s sped up, lol! My Rating: 4.2

13. Mariah Carey “Always Be My Baby (DJ Tank Mix)”
LOL, Carey-in’ it up, here! >>> Sounds tight, once again! These remixes to old songs are gettin’ better, tha more this mixtape continues! Like how tha vocals are at a slightly-faster pace, and tha bounce beats are off tha heezy, lol!! My Rating: 4.4 (lol)

14. Whitney Houston “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay (DJ Tank Mix)”

>>> I thought it was an original song, but it’s not. Really slow start… Umm, I guess it sounds pretty good wit tha bounce beats… I lol @ tha vocals bein’ pretty slow. Either way, this was nice ta listen to! My Rating: 3.7

15. Flyboy Keno “Ride It Like A Bike”

An original joint! >>> Sounds nice wit this Keno dude on this; whoa @ :49!! “Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrride it like a bike!!” Tha title was cut off, so I figured out what ta put ta fill it in. Feelin’ all tha mixin’ and bounce vibes around 2:06; crazy and consistent!! “C”s!! My Rating: 4.7

16. Estelle “Thank You (DJ Tank Mix)”

No artist? >>> Oh, it’s Amerie? Oh wait, lookin’ online, and it’s Estelle; not bad, here… My Rating: 3.4

17. Beyoncé “Brown Eyes (DJ Tank Mix)”

>>> Likin’ tha beat start; bounce vibes seem great. However, why 4:47 on tha length? Really long? A good beat, but it’s boring fa me… Kinda growin’ once I hit tha hook, but I’ll leave it at an okay rating, I guess? Wow, my mind keeps shiftin’ in tha 3.0’s! My Rating: 3.5

18. WildGang Feat. Kith “Fuck Them Niggaz”

Cut-off title, but a feature, here! >>> I’m likin’ tha voice in tha beginning; good shit! Feelin’ tha hook wit tha title; almost seems like “Fuck That Nigga”, instead of “Fuck Them…”? I like how tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook has tha “fuck” part on repeat! Crazy vibes, at times! LOL @ tha 1^st verse; bitch holdin’ shit down, here! Really feelin’ all tha crazy, repetitive beat parts!! My Rating: 4.4

19. Cheeky Blakk “Yippy (Remix)”
LOL @ spellin’ her name as just “Black”. >>> Thought it was a complete remix of The Fugees “Ready Or Not”, but here’s Cheeky, comin’ through, rappin’ ova this beat, with tha Fugees track bein’ just a sample, in tha background; nice… LOL @ tha “yippy;” thought it was, “Happy, happy, happy, happy,” lol! Almost sounds like Lauryn Hill on tha outro, but it’s Cheeky rappin’; nice… My Rating: 3.8

20. Ginuwine “Differences (DJ Tank Mix)”

>>> A lil’ off-beat, at times; seems real slow… Not really tha kinda song ta bounce-remix, I guess? My Rating: 1.6

21. Gerttown Nu Nu “Bend N Bust It”

>>> Whoo @ tha start; gotta luv this chick!! Nice background music in tha beginning, too! Sounds like some anticipatin’ dancehall/reggae shit, as far as intro music! Gotta luv tha title part!! “BNBI, BNBI, BNBI, BNBI…,” lol! And, Flipset Fred in there, too! Nice breakdown around 2:05, too; Nu Nu cuttin’ up, lol! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: I thought this was an entertainin’ CD; I ain’t really mind everythang that was goin’ on, here! Good shit! Some of tha remixes were a lil’ long and boring, but at least there was some original material on here! Not sure if I’ll get to tha other CDs tonight, but there’s always tomorrow! Anyway, keep grindin’, bruh! I fucks wit ya!
