Reviewed on 6.16.2010 (Review #532)




Dis shit’s gotta continue!! Up next, it’s MC Thick “Now Whatcha Think”! Wit 16 jointz, I seem ta be lookin’ forward!! Start Time: 5:09 PM | End Time: 6:10 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.

02. “Step Into The Square” Feat. George Clinton
Looks interestin’ on tha ID so let’s see… >>> Pretty good G-Funk beat ta start thangz off! You’re also “comin’” through pretty good on tha 1st verse; “eat ‘em up like weed sticks!” Damn, dat was a quick 1st verse? Tha hook’s good; nothin’s really in it… Tha 2nd verse sounds like you gettin’ focused. “Lyrics as hard as an erection;” ROFL!! Tha 3rd verse sounds like you focused once again fa people; good shit… My Rating: 3.9

You got tha boy Smooth on here, I see. Let’s see what’s good wit it! >>> Interestin’ beat intro… Sounds good once you start rappin’, ya dig! You “a classic like Winnie The Pooh?” LOL… Good job wit tha 1st verse and tha hook’s cool too; I like tha soundin’ here. Shit yea, Smooth doin’ his thang on tha 2nd verse here! He really holdin’ down this hood shit!! Tha 3rd verse sounds good wit you doin’ ya thang here. My Rating: 4.3


04. “Leather And Wood”
Dat’s dat shit dat makes your car feel good, lol… >>> Pretty laidback here and you sound good in tha beginning here; “what more could you ask for,” lol… Tha hook’s pretty good here; smooth shit… Tha 2nd verse’s pretty good too like tha hook. Tha 3rd verse’s not bad but it’s pretty short, lol? I guess ‘cause tha song’s endin’… My Rating: 4.0


05. “Puffin’ On Sticky” Feat. George Clinton
I’m likin’ tha title here so you know you gon do ya thang on it!! >>> Anotha laidback feelin’ here so let’s see what’s good wit tha rhymes… Not bad start fa tha 1st verse here. Sounds betta at ‘round :46 wit tha “gettin’ ready ta roll up” shit, ya dig! Nice job wit tha verse and tha hook’s pretty good fa dis laidback feelin’. Tha 2nd verse sounds like you’re in tha mood now; thumbs up! Luv tha coughin’/chokin’ @ 2:21!! Tha 2nd hook sounds pretty emotional for tha “sticky,” lol! LOL, only two verses? Tha ending sounds kinda long… My Rating: 4.2


06. “Jump Up” Feat. Papa Reu
Looks good on tha ID; should be interestin’! >>> LOL, tha beat’s kinda slow here and tha Papa Reu dude’s in tha beginning wit his Jamaican accent. He’s even in tha hook and it sounds like it doesn’t fit? So far, this iz aight; I gotta get used ta it… Huh, what’s up wit all tha wasted time here? It’s like 1:30+ a beat outro? My Rating: 3.1


07. “36 OZ”
This iz a good title so let’s see what’s up! >>> No intro needed; tha sample for tha hook holds it down fa tha “streetz!” Tha 1st verse sounds good wit how you’re holdin’ it down fa tha streetz! ROFL, you said, “cunts;” 1st rapper I heard say dat word!! Wit tha remainder of tha 2nd verse, it sounded pretty good… Tha 3rd verse sounds like you’re REALLY motivated wit how you’re comin’ through fa tha street content! JUST LUVIN’ DAT HOOK!!! Sounds like Pimp C! My Rating: 4.7


08. “I’m A Baller”
Let’s hear how you are. >>> Tha beat’s pretty cool, G-Funk style. Tha 1st verse sounds good wit you keepin’ it real, ya dig! Tha hook’s pretty cool too for tha title and tha content, especially at tha end wit tha attitude. Ooh, a phone call afta tha hook; interestin’ shit! Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good wit tha content for tha hood once again! My Rating: 4.2


½time: Pretty good lil’ CD from you, big dawg! Keep doin’ tha damn thang; 4.1 average CD rating so far!


09. “Crowd Or A Quarter”
This iz a good title! Let’s see… >>> I’m likin’ tha smooth beat and tha beginning sounds pretty good wit tha “needin’ a volume!” Tha 1st verse’s cool wit what you spittin’; not bad. LOL, tha hook’s just tha title said 1-2x and just a beat, lol? Tha 2nd verse ain’t dat bad; I expected a lil’ betta from dis one… I thought there would be more gutta street content. My Rating: 3.7


10. “Gappin’”
Let’s see what’s good wit dis… >>> Anotha smooth beat fa me. Tha 1st verse ain’t dat bad fa me… Tha content’s pretty good so I gotta adjust ta dis and see what more you got ta say. Tha hook ain’t bad either… Sounds like anotha decent song fa me. Tha 2nd verse’s not bad… I don’t have much ta say about this song. Now, I’m hearin’ tha hook betta and it’s more on tha street tip wit tha “rocks” and shit; definite plus!! Tha 3rd verse has a good start; I’m likin’ what you bringin’ ta tha table wit tha 3rd verse! Good, street shit here… My Rating: 3.8


11. “Heavy Weights” Feat. Bun B
Yea, you got Bun B on tha feature!! >>> Shit, yea, this iz soundin’ pretty anticipatin’ for a start! I like how Bun’s holdin’ tha beginning down wit this cool beat! Shit, yea, he’s on tha 1st verse too!! He just sounds GR8 fa tha older dayz!! Damn, he just keeps it comin’!! Good-ass shit from B!! Tha hook sounds cool wit this kick-ass beat!! Y’all sound GR8, tha both of y’all, on tha hook!! Tha lil’ breakdown from Bun was cool; got me anticipated fa tha next verse! You sound GR8 tha way you’re deliverin’ dis shit, ya dig! My Rating: 4.5


12. “Chain Reaction” Feat. Graphics - Scientific Kinetic Big 6 N Los
Let’s see how good this iz. I dunno how ta list tha featured artist. I just listed it how it looked on tha filename. >>> Tha beat’s aight and tha 1st verse’s pretty good; keepin’ it Southern here! Tha hook’s good wit tha way its vibe sounds… Tha 2nd verse’s good too… There’s anotha part of tha 2nd verse here and it sounds much betta; REALLY feelin’ tha way tha rhymes are rappin’ wit dis voice!!! LOL @ tha endin’ to tha 2nd verse wit tha “sprayin’,” lol! My Rating: 4.1


13. “They Told Me”
What’ll this be like? >>> A lil’ slower in tha vibe so I dunno how much I’ll be inta this… Tha beat does sound catchy at times (e.g., :38) and tha 1st verse sounds not bad wit tha rappin’; definite 90’s style here. Tha 2nd verse ain’t bad; I don’t have a comment. Tha 2nd hook sounds hot wit tha lady gettin’ emotional on tha mic! Tha 3rd verse sounds a lil’ betta though… My Rating: 3.2


14. “Now What You Think”
This iz like tha album title here so let’s see what you got. >>> Decent start so far… Nothin’ really ta say about dis; it doesn’t have a catchy sound in any way… ROFL @ tha 2nd verse wit tha “blunt/shut up you dumb cunt” rhyme; gutta shit!!! My Rating: 3.0


15. “Rest In Peace”
>>> Okay start here. You “swear on your nutsack” in tha 1st verse, ROFL! You’re pretty interestin’ wit your rhymes! Nothin’ much ta say about dis joint too… A long beat outro too? My Rating: 2.6


16. “Outro”
Let’s see what you got ta say… >>> There’s a beat here. Tha beat’s pretty good this time, lol.


Overall: Not bad of a CD. I think it was pretty good but I expected betta. Tha ending songs got a lil’ boring fa me… Keep doin’ ya thang though; I gotcha!

Frankie's back up in this bitch. Back in Long Island, NY now after bein' at my aunt's cabin fa tha Memorial Day weekend. Now, switchin' up to my marathon 'til tha weekend. Here's tha next one on my list: MC Thick "The Show Ain't Over Till The Fatman Swings"! Talk about a long title... Prolly tha most words in a title I've eva reviewed! Start Time: 11:26 AM | End Time: 1:17 PM

© 2009 CD Review (Review #217) reviewed on 5.26.2009 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.


01. "The Show Ain't Over Till The Fatman Swings"
Startin' off wit tha title track here... I wonder how good of a rapper you are... >>> Doesn't exactly sound Louisianaish at first, but then again, this '93. I like tha flowin' on tha 1st verse, and tha lyrics sound good; "microphone savage!" I like tha start to tha 2nd verse wit "I'ma be bossman!" Tha 2nd verse iz goin' hard wit tha way you rappin' this shit; nice job! Nice start to tha 3rd verse too! I like tha "like locus" line. I like how you say tha title right before tha verses end! Nice ending wit tha crowd. My Rating: 4.1


02. "Portrait Of A Fiend"
Tha title reminds me of one of tha recent tapes I reviewed in tha marathon... Betta yet, it's nearly tha same title as tha Lower Level Organization title (they have a "Portrait Of A Villain" song). I'm lookin' forward to hearin' yours! I rated theirs 3.9, so we'll see what yours'll be; I predict higher! >>> Tha beat iz slower here than tha last song I heard from you just now. Tha start to tha 1st verse sounded good wit tha title, and tha lyrics you be spittin' about this "fiend" sounds TIGHT! Nice job on tha 1st verse, and that part wit tha electronic computer goin' on (or whateva it was) wit tha "money, muthafucka" part was somethin' different; good job fa puttin' it in here. Tha 2nd verse iz soundin' pretty good too. "All about money" on this shit wit tha 2nd verse. Good job, and nice ending to tha verse wit tha "he prays he stop payin'." Interesting lyrics goin' on in tha 3rd verse too here. It's dedicated to a girl this time, so interesting to hear this. Also, how tha gurl died "in tha portrait of a fiend" was REAL interesting to hear! You DEFINITELY made this an interesting song! I gotta go to tha bathroom real quick (due to my feet touchin' cold ground, which iz retarded), so I'll be back... My Rating: 4.3


03. "Just Like A Niguh"
Should be anotha great song... >>> Anotha great song from you, especially when talkin' about a person in tha 1st verse; nice job. Anotha interesting verse comin' at me wit tha 2nd verse wit about someone else a.k.a. tha title. Tha 3rd verse was good too, as you kept tha consistency goin'. My Rating: 4.0


04. "From The Brick Jungle"
Ooh, a VERY INTERESTING "jungle" you're investigating here!! I'm real curious to hear what you gon say! >>> Yea, you're "a rappin' animal," lol. Sounds like tha lyrics are not what I thought they were gonna be... I thought this was about a jungle fulla bricks? Tha hook sounds catchy, and tha beat iz pretty nice. Nothin' to say about tha 2nd verse... Tha 3rd verse sounded a lil' better, although it's off topic of what I thought it was gonna be. I'll still give it some credit though. My Rating: 3.6


05. "It Ain't Easy Bein' Me"
Are you goin' through struggles? Iz that tha answer to tha title? Lemme find out... >>> Nice start to tha 1st verse, makin' "buku cash;" thanx fa bringin' up tha word "buku" up in '93 'cause people in tha ATL think that word iz new or some shit, smh! I'm likin' your flowin' on this song, as it sounds like some of tha previous songs. Oh, and this song's hook has tha "I Get Money" type of sample, so THUMBS DOWN AGAIN ta 50-jackin'-Cent fa doin' anotha Rap vs. Rap wit that sample 'cause you had sampled tha 80's song, then Lil' Flip did, and 50 did it like he was cool, smh. LOL @ tha "I ain't down wit O.P.P., that's S-H-I-T..." line! Plus, that reminded me of tha "HIV" song (I think from Tim Smooth or someone that I reviewed not too long ago in my marathon from tha Early 90's). I don't know if you should've used that sample if "it ain't easy bein' you" 'cause that's a positive sample... Still, nice song here. My Rating: 3.9


06. "Only In America"
What will this song bring? >>> Interesting start to tha 1st verse wit tha "cops" and "video tape" part. Yea, that "white boy" thing you said iz true. If it would've been "a white boy," then it would've been different when capturing a black person. It may suck that black people get targeted more, but black people need to not stereotype themselves by RESISTIN' tha gun shooting, murdering, etc. 'cause it turns out to be like Britney Spears and become Pop wit all tha stories on tha news! Prevent tha stereotyping! Good 1st verse, and tha 2nd verse iz soundin' pretty good too. You're keepin' tha interesting shit up wit tha stories on tha street! Same thing wit tha 3rd verse, so thumbs up. My Rating: 4.0


½time: Off to a good start. You got REAL good lyrics, as well as a real good flow! Keep this shit up! I'm pretty sure I have a lil' more of you in my marathon coming up, so we'll see what happens. Fa now, lemme hear tha remaning 7 songs...


07. "Hustler"
I'm accidently reviewin' this song last. Due to I have tha cassette tape of this tape, tha ½time screwed me up, so I started tha B side instead of rememberin' this song, so tha review was delayed about a 1/2 hour... Now, tha song iz here, and I'm reviewin' it; wonder what it sounds like fa waitin' long! >>> Sounds pretty good fa a start. Ooh, you're "15 years old" on this shit. I didn't say much, but pretty good song. Tha 3rd verse iz pretty good wit tha "white folks/I'm gettin' paid" part. Keepin' that shit from tha last song on a part of this too iz watz good. Great 3rd verse, and nice ending to it. My Rating: 3.9


08. "It's Getting Hard"
I know life iz now, but lemme see what you hollain' about... >>> Sounds like a West Coast start... Ooh, good job wit tha flow and tha "yay" part in tha 1st verse; tha flowin' just keeps gettin' betta!! Tha 2nd verse iz aight, but tha 1st verse was a lot betta. LOL @ tha "cunts" in tha 3rd verse; tha flowin' iz back ta bein' at a peak! Good job, and there's a 4th verse here... Good job, and yeah, it iz "getting hard" these dayz... My Rating: 4.0


09. "T.H.I.C.K."
First, a title track. Now, a nearly self-titled song, lol. Lemme hear how you do it on this one! >>> Goin' hard on this one too! LOL @ "lyrics hard as an erection!" Yea, tha track iz good (or as you say, "thick."). Sounds like betta rappin' goin' on in tha 2nd verse; crazyness!! Tha 2nd verse did go hard, so thumbs up once again fa deliverin' that greatness! You're nothin' to be fucked wit on tha 3rd verse, goin' hard still! My Rating: 4.2


10. "Marrero"
What do we got wit this title? >>> Looks like Mike Jones did a Rap vs. Rap by havin' tha Eazy-E sample 'cause this has that "crusin' down tha street" in tha hook. Great rappin' and rhymes in tha 1st verse. I like tha "I'm tha horror that you dream about when you was a kid" line. Tha 2nd verse iz real, wit all tha shit goin' on in tha hood. There are "muthafuckaz dyin'" and shit, and tha "one day you rollin', next day you're buried" line that describes tha 2nd verse perfect. Good job on tha 3rd verse, and it says "I'm from Marrero," so tha title iz a place I see. Thanx for tha clear up, and fa deliverin' a nice joint here! My Rating: 4.0


11. "You Said It Couldn't Be Done"
Next joint gon sound like...? >>> Pretty decent start that's pretty good. I didn't say much, but this song still keepin' tha consistentness. So, according to tha 3rd verse, you were "20 years old" when you wrote this? That's watz good. I'm 20 now, which means you're 36 now? Shit, that's watz good. I wonder how you're doin' now... Nice beat here. My Rating: 3.8


12. "Leave 'Em Out There"
Should be anotha good joint... >>> Okay 1st verse, and tha hook iz catchy wit tha nice old-type beat. Sounds good like tha otha jointz. Nice job on this shit; thanx fa makin' it catchy. Nice scratchin' at tha end wit tha beat. My Rating: 3.9


13. "Bitch Control"
Tha last song, and I don't know what I'm expectin'... >>> Sounds like a typical female song... Catchy hook at least. Tha 2nd verse sounds better, but not much I can say. There's a 3rd verse... I couldn't really say anything. Thanx for tha catchy hook, but that's all. My Rating: 3.3


Overall: Finally finished tha review (my bad fa missin' #7). Good job, MC Thick. You are DEFINITELY a great rapper from tha 90's, and this tape of yours gets a thumbs up from me!
