Review #968: Moe Money "Hustle Hard"

Reviewed on 6.06.2011 (Night of 6.05.2011) (Review #968) Finally got to tha 4th review… Moe Money “Hustle Hard”; y’all name’s “Moe Money”? Do y’all know of Mon Mack and Moe Money Entertainment (or iz theirs M.O.E. Money Entertainment?)? Y’all New Orleans; they’re Baton Rouge. Start Time: 12:45 AM | End Time: 12:56 AM 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. 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. © 2011 CD Review (Review #968) reviewed on 6.06.2011 (Night of 6.05.2011) by FrankieThaLuckyDog. Link To CD: N/A 01. “Intro” >>> This sounds way too East Coast fa me but tha rappin’ ain’t dat bad… My Rating: 3.7 02. “Cruise Control” >>> This beat ain’t too bad… Tha rhymes sound okay; I like tha “smokin’” parts. My Rating: 3.3 03. “Hustle Hard” Feat. Law >>> Familiar beat… This sounds betta fa me, especially tha “huh bruh” shit in tha beginning a bunch of times. Tha 1st verse sounds pretty strong; nice attitude. Tha hook’s catchy; I like how tha title sounds. Tha 2nd verse sounds good; on a mission, here. My Rating: 3.8 ½time: A 3.6-rated CD, currently. 04. “Supa Star” Feat. Law Anotha Law collaboration… >>> Thought I would’ve heard these songs before but this hook’s wack wit tha singin’ for me, unfortunately; way too ‘wantin’-ta-go-Pop’-soundin’. There’s no interest in tha rhymes, either, fa me… My Rating: 2.1 05. “Oprah” Feat. FiJah This looks like a catchy title, lol. >>> Beat’s a lil’ betta ta rap on…; rhymes are soundin’ okay/good… My Rating: 3.5 06. “Time2Go” Feat. A.O.B., Cooly Wright, FiJah, Rocc, KashFlow & Shiny Green Long lineup, lol? >>> Crack Trackz beat, I assume… This iz way too soft wit tha beat so I don’t think I can take this serious. Speakin’ of “roll up,” I almost have a Wiz Khalifa “Roll Up” vibe when hearin’ dis; did Crack take dat beat’s ideas? Iz this tha same as “Supreme Team” from Law’s CD? I’m realizin’ tha lineup… EDIT: Nope, it’s not, lol? Oh yea, this doesn’t sound 3.6 for me, anyway; rhymes are only decent for a soft-soundin’ song. My Rating: 2.7 07. “Hold Up” >>> For an ending song, this iz somewhat catchy; sounds like a familiar song, once again? Not really feelin’ tha similarity flow, this time. Some of this shit iz good but tha thought of tha similarity iz kinda throwin’ me off… Damn, long beat outro? Why didn’t you cut it? My Rating: 3.0 Overall: Nothin’ too special but nothin’ bad… Rankings: 07. “Supa Star” Feat. Law 2.1 06. “Time2Go” Feat. A.O.B., Cooly Wright, FiJah, Rocc, KashFlow & Shiny Green 2.7 05. “Hold Up” 3.0 04. “Cruise Control” 3.3 03. “Oprah” Feat. FiJah 3.5 02. “Intro” 3.7 01. “Hustle Hard” Feat.

Review #909: Law "Live & Maintain"

Reviewed on 3.28.2011 (Review #909) My 2nd review for today iz Law “Live & Maintain”; what’s up wit all these 16-track CDs in a row, lol? Start Time: 7:40 AM | End Time: 7:58 AM 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!

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1461497670 01. “Can You Get Away” Startin’ off tha “Live” section. I have a feelin’ this CD won’t be for me; iz it gonna be on tha depressin’-soundin’ side? >>> Damn, where’s tha start? Almost took two minutes fa me ta catch somethin’? Iz this some sorta intro ‘cause it’s kinda long… My Rating: 2.2 02. “Never See Me Again” >>> You sound too quiet or laidback… Tha beat sounds like it could be a good Dance intro or somethin’. But, all it does iz loop/take a while to grow. Tha random rappin’ parts are good—if that’s what you wanna call it. My Rating: 3.0 03. “Inception” LOL @ this title. >>> Way too laidback for tha voice but at least there’s a few more rhymes, here. I like how it randomly says tha title. But, for a song 5:01, I would think this iz too long… My Rating: 2.6 04. “Can You Get With It” Feat. FiJah & Christian Radke Features? Sounds like a CD dat you can only make by yourself. >>> Now dat I hear more rhymes, this iz tha kinda song dat I wouldn’t feel/not for me. Tha lyrics on tha hook are pretty nice but I’m really not feelin’ dat voice! My Rating: 1.4 05. “Do It Again” >>> A lil’ betta beat… Finally, more rappin’, but I definitely wanted ta hear more of it on #2 & #3! Tha hook has singin’ in it but this time, it’s catchy; thumbs up fa tryin’ ta make shit a lil’ catchy wit tha rhymes and hook. My Rating: 2.8 06. “Can’t Stop Us Now” Feat. A.O.B. >>> This hook’s catchy, too. I still think this CD’s way too laidback wit tha beats. some of tha deliveries, and volumes… Tha rhymes are pretty catchy, especially tha 2nd verse. My Rating: 2.9 07. “Nasty Girl” >>> Yes, tha betta beats are back; hope you don’t lack tha amount of rappin’! Damn, anotha laidback-type of deliverin’ when it comes ta tha vocals and shit on here? Good hook, though, as well as tha lyrics; wish this was delivered betta. My Rating: 3.2 08. “Put On A Show” Feat. Shiny Green >>> Glad there’s a “dancefloor”-type beat, here, although tha previous one was much betta. Tha hook’s decent but those “oh” parts sound like there could’ve been at least anotha coupla lyrics? Tha rappin’ iz decent but puts you in a good mood, so I’ll give this a plus. My Rating: 3.0 ½time: A lot of this shit sounds too laidback—meanin’ tha vocals and deliveries. Tha beats are pretty nice, though, and I wish some of these tracks could’ve been betta. So far, only a 2.6-rated CD. 09. “Live & Maintain” Now, tha “Maintain” side. >>> Thanx for tha intro and although it’s long, at least tha hook paid off, here! My Rating: 3.3 10. “Blow” >>> Not anotha quiet intro… Takin’ about 24 seconds, here you are on tha intro… Okay, it went to tha hook and although I’m not too interested in those vocals, this iz a lil’ catchy—just a lil’. Tha flow iz boring but tha lyrics are catchy, here. My Rating: 2.9 11. “Hatin’ On Me” Feat. Kashflow A really-long song? >>> Sounds like some baby in tha background of tha beat, lol. Interestin’ rhymes, this time, wit tha lyrical shit as well as some of it catchin’ onta me (e.g., “cereal,” lol). Tha hook sounds pretty-good; nice job wit all tha verses but this could’ve been a lil’ shorter… My Rating: 3.4 12. “I Got It” Feat. Cooly Wright & Christian Radke >>> Think I should skip dis one? Why a hook like dis? Finally, a betta beat and catchy rhymes, but not up ta par fa me. My Rating: 1.9 13. “Money & Hoes” Feat. Moe Money, Rocc & FiJah >>> Despite tha title, I like how this sample’s soundin’ on tha hook wit tha beat. Overall, other than those positives, this iz boring wit tha verses. My Rating: 2.5 14. “Grind” Feat. Double E >>> This sounds more normal; I like tha Pimp C sample. There are lots of “R.I.P.” people out there, sadly. Tha rhymes on both verses sound good; anotha pretty-good collaboration. My Rating: 3.1 15. “Leave It At That” Feat. Moe Money >>> Sounds like they took tha beginning sound of “Money Maker” and a lil’ sound effect from (I think) “Knuck If You Buck”; interestin’. However, tha flow sounds like Shawty Lo, now, lol? Interest iz kinda up-in-tha-air fa me, right now. Damn, tha 2nd verse had ta have a Wayne/Drake flow! My Rating: 2.4 16. “Supreme Team” Feat. Moe Money, Rocc, FiJah, A.O.B. & Cooly Wright Endin’ it wit a big feature and long song, lol? >>> At least this iz good and not laidback. Browsed through tha verses and they sound pretty-good, each one of ‘em. Glad this was a normal song although it’s pretty low-rated to be a quality, top-rated song. My Rating: 3.6 Overall: Tha 1st ½ was more to tha extreme wit tha laidbackness; tha 2nd ½ had more rhymes but tha songs, themselves, sounded like they weren’t for me. Overall, this didn’t score too high but there’s some uniqueness in it. Rankings: 16. “Can You Get With It” Feat. FiJah & Christian Radke 1.4 15. “I Got It” Feat.
