Review #1,472: Level "Authentic"

Reviewed on 6.29.2015 (Review #1,472)

Keepin’ my reviewz goin’ with a brand new CD that was released only two weeks ago. Once again, it wasn’t sent to me, so you already know I’m freein’ this one! Thanx to Rodnae Da Boss for postin’ about it on IG, I found out about it. I may be super-busy, but I still took tha time out, like a dickhead, to check this out: Level Authentic, sponsored by Mayham Entertainment, once again. Start Time: 7:33 PM | End Time: 8:37 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. Intro (Mista Cain)

Let’s see, here… Oh, and I just luv how everytime I’m reviewin’ these CDs that I’m hearin’ Calvin Harris & HAIM “Pray To God” in tha background! Luv it; reviewtastic! Sounded so great while I was high on Long Island, last week, gettin’ donuts!! >>> A phone call… See, why am I even in tha music biz? Why ain’t he eva call me? We talked before; don’t be a stranger, Mista! Luv how he keeps sayin’, “Be real,” lol. My Rating: N/A

02. “I Know What 2 Do”
Kickin’ it off with a production from Rodnae, tha reason why this review’s here! >>> Ooh @ tha beat start, here! Kickin’ it off again after my nap! Definitely feelin’ tha hook a whole lot, even though I have to throw my middle finga up at tha “money long” shit. That’s why no one eva sees me in tha music business, anymore, so stare that line in tha ear!! But, let’s see what we got with tha 1^st verse, here… Okay, more on tha sex tip, here; good shit ova this beat! He even up-to-date on Gates and “I don’t get tired?” Last time I talked ta you, Level, Gates wasn’t even near gettin’ signed! Err-body don’t fuck wit me, anymore! “Text me when you ready, baby…;” of course, you only answer females, smfh!!! No wonder why you kept ignorin’ me, Level: I have a dick! Ain’t dat sad? What if I was born with a vagina and was transgender? I mean, at least have one gay fan out there in tha world, somewhere, wherever they may be! You got Mista on tha phone; he has a dick, Level, right? But, a consistent 2^nd verse ta continue tha vibe, here… Keepin’ it goin’ with tha 3^rd verse and it sounds like you got “plenty mo” of dicks, lol? Perfect beat pattern ending, nice and cold with 12 seconds! My Rating: 4.6

03. “Pu$$y” feat. C-Loc

Koon doin’ tha track… >>> Yeah, yeah, with “can’t stand no pu$$y-a$$ nigga;” I get it and have gotten it… Beat sounds nice fa a southern beat and tha hook’s pretty nice. Definitely diggin’ how you keep sayin’ tha title, singin’ it and shit; even diggin’ tha background “pu$$y” vocals. Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and you definin’ tha fakes. Then again, tha streetz have told me so long ago that you were fake? If so, are you still? How do you break those thoughts? Only thing that stands out iz you always rap about money, but I’ve neva gotten a penny from you in services, but have fucked with you for six years? Shit, that’s why I tell people at work, “Making $7.00 an hour? God forbid I eva get $0.07 an hour in tha music business, smh!” Got BiggDawg on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through with regular rhymes; it’s just a nice collab… Here comes tha 3^rd verse from you with some identifyin’… You just luv “pu$$y,” here, but not vagina; more like callin’ out pu$$ie$! My Rating: 4.4

04. “MC Hammer” feat. Mouse On Tha Track

Mouse On Tha Track track! Have I heard before? *Checks* Yup, one down quicker… My Current Rating: 4.7

05. “Hustle Harder” feat. Scarface

Title speaks for itself, I guess? Look at this feature… Swift doin’ tha track! >>> Kinda not likin’ tha instant start, here; uncredited singer on tha hook? “Tryna get this money, everyday;” boring… This on tha strugglin’ tip on tha hook, here; kinda bleh… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and tha beat sounds better; nice and southern/laidback! Kinda feelin’ these rhymes, I ain’t gon lie… “I neva sold drugs;” ain’t you have jiggaz a lot??? I don’t get it… Nice fresh 2^nd verse from Scarface, here; definitely feelin’ it ‘cause of this laidback beat, lol! I remember when his 2005/2006 group, The Product, put me in their Top 8 on their MySpace ‘cause I sent them this pic:

Nice, right? Too bad MySpace’s fucked up, now… Tha rest of this sounded nice, too! My Rating: 4.4

06. “Stop Lyin’” feat. Lil’ Cali & Bro-Bro

Here we go with tha Q-Red again! I wound up realizin’ after samplin’ a few seconds of it that their names are flipped in tha ID… Wish everyone would take me more serious, though. Like, why follow me on IG when you don’t even like one of my pics, but comment on insecure peoples’ pic—fuck it, I could care less, now! >>> LOL @ startin’ this off with tha year you were “born,” Level; of course, I won’t forget it! LOL, Mass Appeal Records even interviewed me and put “Level’s birthday” in tha interview ‘cause I mentioned it, lol! You sound nice on this, right chea, on tha 1^st verse; can’t complain… “I-to-tha-T-to-tha-S-to-tha-L-to-tha-E-to-tha-V-E-L;” nice!! Real nice!!! Bleh @ tha end of tha 1^st verse: “You ain’t got no money;” bleh!! Feelin’ tha hook, though, as you constantly are sayin’, “Bitch, stop lyin’,” as well as tha, “Stop that aggravated stuntin’,” shit; real nice!!! We got Cali on tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, as well. Kinda shitty with tha “money” rhymes, but let’s just say that this flows over nicely… Hearin’ Bro-Bro on tha 3^rd verse and great voice ova tha track, but I’ono fuck wit all that “money” shit at all!! My Rating: 4.4

07. “Whip Down”
Q-Red. >>> “All you gotta do iz call me on your phone…;” terrible shit in tha hook, since we only had, like, one regular conversation ova a six-year period! WTF kinda business iz that?! Ehh, startin’ ta lose interest with tha 1^st verse, too, with more of tha “you got my numba” shit; nooooooooooo! Should I write you up, lol? Keepin’ it goin’ with tha 2^nd verse and okay, we’re on some sex shit, here. Let’s keep it goin’ without inconsistent content! Nice how you said that: “Like a pitbull, I’mma bite it!” We got tha 3^rd verse, here, and it’s soundin’ nice; no complainin’ here… My Rating: 4.0

08. “Dat Syrup” feat. Paul Wall

Anotha top-notch feature, or should I say, a thing of tha past? Gucci Robinson doin’ this track… >>> Nice beat start with tha keys and intense sound! Prolly would’ve expected this to sound like tha Scarface feature with tha laidback vibe, but I’m anticipatin’ this intense beat intro! Nice and slow beat with pure sounds fa tha south! Excellent hook—oh wait, you said, “Niggaz know my money long;” fuck!!! Otha than that, I’m definitely diggin’ this! “I’m blowin’ on dat purple strong!” Nothin’ was betta than smokin’ with a 47-year-old chick; can’t believe they moved, recently! Anyway, still soundin’ pretty great with you on tha 1^st verse! “My body movin’ slow;” don’t dat “dro” really take ova you? Luv when it’s in me, especially while listenin’ to music and goin’ down haunted roads like Mary’s Grave on Long Island! Or, eatin’ weed cookies and your day slows down; yeah! I could buy time anyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy time, right now!!! We got Paul Wall on tha 2^nd verse, here; let’s hope he sticks to gettin’ fucked up than “money” bullshit! Hearin’ it now and yeah, nice and on-topic, here! LOL, “‘No Ordinary Love’ like Sade;” nice and random! Luv how he references “Baton Rouge,” too, includin’ sayin’ your name. Now that his buzz has been down, will we talk again? Yeah, I talked to Paul Wall back on November 18, 2004, before most knew about him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLQbKP5wFvI

Nice, right? Luv tha intense beat ending! My Rating: 4.6

½time: So far, an excellent CD, once again; real consistent and fulla quality, as always! With that bein’ said, tha average CD rating’s at a 4.4, right now!

09. “I Got You” feat. Detroit

Last year, when I reviewed tha Turn Down 4 What? CD, I thought this was tha Detriot (spelled like that) from tha Mr. Magic CDs. However, I guess I’m wrong? Must just be Detroit? Boss On Da Track doin’ tha track… >>> Nice beat start, here, fa tha clubs… Hearin’ a “Give Me That” sample in tha background, lol; when Baton Rouge vs. Baton Rouge! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice; definitely likin’ tha singin’ part of tha title! Good shit on tha 1^st verse, but then again, you got your dick in mouths with “my money long,” once again; noooooooooo!! What a way to keep ruinin’ parts of each song!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it kinda rap-singish, here. Doesn’t make me think it’s tha Detriot I was talkin’ about… LOL @ tha endin’ of tha verse: “Goin’ onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn…” Endin’ this joint off with plenty of singin’ parts of tha hook—well, tha hook repeated. My Rating: 4.3

10. “Me & You”
Q-Red on tha track, once again… >>> R&B music in tha beginning? Maybe for some wack person, but doesn’t fit here… Kinda likin’ when tha background sample dubs in tha hook, but I’ono if I see this bein’ that special… Then again, because of tha producer, I can’t say anything since I don’t get any feedback in return. Basically, it just looks like you can only see that I think that this iz below-average, so far? Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds like a nice scene in tha bed, “unda tha covers.” Here comes tha 2^nd verse and it’s more sex shit, on a depicting tip, as always! My Rating: 3.7

11. “Ack Like You Kno” feat. T-Rock

Anotha big feature from tha dead? LOL, how’d this one come about?? Checkin’ tha back cover and holy shit! Oh no! Oh, God! Oh, wow! O…M…G…! What? Huh? Crazy? DJ B-Real did tha beat!! Thank God I got work tomorrow at 4 AM so I can get my mind off of shit!! >>> LOL, online, they screwed up tha title and put “Cak;” I almost thought that was a southern term. It’s actually “Ack;” they had tha letters flipped. But, I hate to say, this sounds pretty nice; tha beat sounds can be addictive! Tha hook’s pretty nice, too; gotta bring it to ‘em, Level! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and you’re nice and energetic; gotta luv it! Hearin’ tha hook for a 2^nd time and it almost sounds like somethin’ B-Real would write/sing. Like, that could’ve happened as a nice surprise? Here comes this anticipatin’ feature (T-Rock) on tha 2^nd verse! Who would’ve thought this Georgia dude would rap on a B-Real beat?!? Feelin’ what he spittin’; very Baton Rouge of him with this content/flow! Luvin’ tha fast shit, too; excellent verse!! My Rating: 4.8

12. “For Everybody” feat. Skip

Yay, anotha Skip collab! J Buc beat. >>> Sounds nice; kinda plain, at times, between tha hook and some of tha beat, but still good… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice… Well, kinda more on tha okay side. LOL, my expectations keep decreasing outta nowhere, lol… Kinda random, since Kiesza’s “Hideway”’s on in tha background, but I wanna say that I wanna just take J Buc and throw him into a deep house club!! With that randomly bein’ said, here’s Skip on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through with some regular-soundin’ rhymes. I prolly would’ve liked this betta if it went a lil’ harder. Like, more aggression needed? Guess it’s more “for everybody,” after all? LOL, more Skip on tha 3^rd verse? Tha “money” shit kinda threw me off; a lil’ too long for an okay joint… My Rating: 3.6

13. “Space Age” feat. Lady Kym

LOL, nobody spell her name right; it’s Kym! BaseHeadz beat. >>> An okay song that’s a lil’ laidback, so far. However, doesn’t compare to tha laidback vibes of tha Scarface one… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s okay…; nothin’ really to say. Here’s tha hook with Lady Kym… It sounds okay, but really, she had to mention, “Gettin’ to this money,” smh? Guess that means tha hook sucks? I only like how she sings it… Here’s you on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds good, just keepin’ it goin’… Even some “rappin’” on tha 3^rd verse from Kym, here… Kinda feelin’ this tha most behind tha singin’? Just okay rhym—fuck! Why say, “As long as we gettin’ money?” I don’t get it! My Rating: 3.3

14. “I Bet You Won’t” feat. Mouse On Tha Track

Ooh, more Mouse collabz & productionz!! >>> I’m feelin’ tha energy in tha beginning; anticipatin’!! Catchy hook, here, includin’ tha both of y’all doin’ y’all thang on tha hook! Mouse can kinda slide with that “money” bullshit on tha hook; his voice flows nice, ya know? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha both of y’all sound nice, here! Definitely diggin’ Mouse with tha “easy”-rhymin’ lines! Catchy shit; glad y’all went back and forth with tha 1^st verse! Ooh, got Mouse on tha 2^nd verse, really comin’ through with catchy shit! And, it’s back ta you; more alternatin’! Like, how do y’all think of that? Like, should I do tha 1^st verse? Should Mouse do it? Naw, let’s both do it! Nice thinkin’! Lots ta digest, here! Gotta luv it! My Rating: 4.5

15. “Don’t Waste Yo Time” feat. Rodnae Da Boss

And, here’s exactly why I found out about this CD, right now. Rodnae has a pic of tha back cover, too! Even has production credits, too! *Edits review to add producers…* Get ‘em, Rodnae! Feature & production! >>> Ehh, kinda slow, here; decent, so far, with an okay hook from Rodnae… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s a regular-soundin’ song fa tha ladies… Likin’ your descriptive scene of makin’ luv, but it’s whateva. Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, here, but I think this track’s too boring fa me… And, it continues ta drag with tha Rodnae singin’… Only thing that catches on iz some of tha descriptive lyrics; at least they’re not 1D… My Rating: 3.4

16. “I’m Sorry” feat. Mookie Blakk & Mook

Q-Red beat. Before I listen to it, I have to say, “WTF @ tha title?” Level bein’ “sorry?!” “Sorry” for not fuckin’ wit me that much? “Sorry” for havin’ a private IG? I mean, look at this shit:

WTF iz that?!? At least B-Real finally maned up & made his shit unprivate, but c’mon, artists!! With that bein’ said, double Mooks on tha feature… Other Mook’s tha Small Circle Kartel one? I’ono… >>> Ugly-soundin’ start with tha vocals; I’ono, let’s see what gon come outta this… A boring start, here; prolly not tha Kartel Mook? I’ono… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s whateva; can’t really get into this sorrow rap! Eva since September 14, 2013, Gunplay, Miley Cyrus & my stepmom tryna fuck wit me, I’m no longer “sorry!” Even at my job, it doesn’t come outta my mouth! I say, “We apologize;” neva just me! Whateva happens, happens!! Here comes tha 2^nd verse from Mookie Blakk, comin’ through with some regular-soundin’ rhymes. Nice to collab, but this on a boring note, overall. Oh, and Music Choice Dance just reminded me of tha only way I can fuck with a song about “money”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQKegpWuK7U

Any day!!! My Rating: 2.8

17. “Be This Way” feat. JayFam

Endin’ it with anotha Q-Red beat… >>> Endin’ it on a slow note with a long intro… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and I’m feelin’ this vibe; good shit. Feelin’ this, despite more on a depressing note! Diggin’ tha singin’, at times… Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice, too; nice ending! This tha way a CD should end, if it has a sad-soundin’ song! It’s like, “Why?” That’s tha question I ask about my brother. Like, why’d he die in tha room across mine (my studio room)? Why an overdose? Why’d we fight tha last time we saw each other? Why wasn’t he meant for this world?! Oh, sad—lemme get off this topic! My Rating: 4.2

Overall: I have to say, this was a nice CD. Tha beginning had it more on lock while most of tha 2^nd ½ was kinda plain and boring. Either way, nice job, Level! Glad you keepin’ tha consistency goin’! When will tha next release come out? We shall see, but will I be around?

So far, it’s takin’ so much of my time and thinkin’ to make it! It’ll be, like, a documentary! Hope y’all pay attention, I guess?

Review #1,471: Level "Ain't No Turnin' Down (The Mixtape) (Hosted by Big Jay)"

Reviewed on 6.29.2015 (Review #1,471)

Here comes anotha review I’m doin’: Level Ain’t No Turnin’ Down (The Mixtape) (Hosted by Big Jay), courtesy of Mayham Entertainment. Released earlier this year; nice, right? No ‘cause it wasn’t sent to me on time, so I ain’t payin’ a penny for this shit! Respect my values first!! Start Time: 2:22:22 PM | End Time: 3:11:40 PM

01. Intro
>>> Big Jay on tha intro, here; nice… Nice lil’ beginning, even though it was obsessed with “money,” smh! Soundin’ a lil’ pitch-increased, Level? Not really diggin’ that everything that has to have a focus iz “money” shit. Either way, nice lil’ blend to get  you all hyped up! My Rating: N/A

02. “Ain’t No Turnin’ Down” feat. Tweeday

You be real good at resurrectin’ names from tha dead, it seems like? I remember dat cat, Tweeday, from, like, 2010 or somethin’. >>> Sounds like his collaboration with Jiggaman from three years ago with Ready, “Get Loose”, in tha beginning? Sounds like I hear a “loose?” Anyway, sounds nice with this energetic beat fa tha south and how you be comin’ through on tha hook, Level! I know this a lil’ old ‘cause of tha collaboration, I think? I just don’t think I heard it before, but your voice sounds a lil’ different? Maybe, I’m just trippin’? Feelin’ tha hyped-up rhymes… This gotta be old if there’s more “jiggaz” references than money rhymes! Like, that’s a golden verse fa me, unlike tha shit today! Really feelin’ Tweeday’s energy on tha 2^nd verse; he sounds more energized than you, Lev!! Excellent job, Twee-to-tha-day! A lil’ blendin’ toward tha last minute, here… My Rating: 4.5

03. “Turnt Up”
Looks familiar? >>> Female on tha hook? Either way, hot! Definitely feelin’ tha energy on this beat and Dolby D mixin’ it nicely! Kinda reminds me of “Stupid Wit It” from Gorilla Goonz & all dem from tha Get Live Clique, from a ½ decade ago! That’s how tha hook sounds, so I’m glad you have a 337-like influence on this CD, so far! Here you are on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit dat consistent club vibe; can’t deny it! What else do I gotta say? Continuin’ on with tha 2^nd verse, here; definitely continues ta sound nice! Gotta dig this to tha max! All that energy I get to provide while at my job; it comes from shit like this!!! My Rating: 4.6

04. “Believe Dat” feat. Deezy Cain

>>> Sounds like a nice gangsta vs. club vibe in tha beat intro, here… Even got a Nu$$ie lil’ “retarded, believe dat” sample! I have to say, it’s been a while since I heard him sampled, which I’m glad he had some space to breathe! It sounds real hot, here; definitely a nice hook!! And, you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse’s definitely “dumb,” “believe dat,” lol! ROFL @ “Like Mike, Marlo;” what a rhyme, lol… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from Deezy and it’s good, though kinda like, “I’m tha best” / “You suck” / “I can do anything,” you know, that cocky shit… Either way, such a great, energetic vibe!! Keepin’ it goin’ with a 3^rd verse with you on tha 3^rd verse and yes, this iz on tha newer side: “27 years,” so you’re my current age, here. I can’t believe someone at my job’s been workin’ at my job since months before you were born, lol!! Think: They’re still active; how ‘bout dat, Level?! Shout out to Gloria!! “There’s a Lizard in tha buildin’!!” My Rating: 4.8

06. “I Can’t Help It” feat. Mouse On Tha Track & Racked-Up Ready

ROFL, tha both of them again, only reversed in tha ID! Excited fa this one!! >>> Beat almost sounds like it’s old, like “On Dem Jiggaz”, or somethin’. However, this new, since they “stalkin’ on [Mouse]’s IG,” lol! He need ta check that thang more, since he wanted to do some shit with me in tha future! As far as tha hook, it’s definitely on-n-poppin’ with one of Baton Rouge’s greatest voices eva: Mouse!! Excellent beat and excellent job wit dat voice!! And, here you are on tha 1^st verse but I have to criticize you for somethin’, Level: WHY IZ YOUR INSTAGRAM PRIVATE?!?!? How you expect ta let people look at your shit? Your MySpace wasn’t private, right? Well, take your IG serious!! Either way, nice verse; fuck tha “money” shit, though! We got Ready on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit a sex scene ova this clubbin’ beat, lol… Diggin’ this whole picture of Ready’s tattoos all over his body toward tha end of tha 2^nd verse; nice description! My Rating: 4.8

Oh, and whataya know, that Gloria just liked my status on how it’s cold outside and it’s June 29, lol! It’s warmin’ up now but I needed a hoodie outside, earlier, smh!

My Rating: 4.7

17. “Bounce Around” feat. Jimi Jump

Let’s keep these anticipatin’ collabz comin’! >>> Anticipatin’ intro, here, from a random person—oh wait, Jimi Jump? LOL, but nice beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like some good club music, though I don’t agree with tha “racks!” Nice 2^nd ½ of tha hook with tha title repeatin’; that’s that classic formula!! Sounds like crickets in tha background of tha 1^st verse? Hot sound with Jimi Jump comin’ through on tha 1^st verse, strictly comin’ through nicely! “All on my nizzuts,” lol! “All right, all right, all right;” okay! LOL! Here you come on tha 2^nd verse, lol, “I’m in this bitch with Jimi!!” Luv how you have so much energy in your voice and you definitely got shit on lock, here!

My Rating: 4.4

18. “Watch Me As I Enter” feat. Small Circle Kartel & DJ B-Real

OMG, my heart’s racing…! I could cry right now… I’m so anxious!!!!! Do I have to say it? …Ang!! “Were you first on break?,” lol!! Gonna make sure she’s on my screen while I have this B-Real-infested joint play in tha background! Also, it sux that this tha 1^st time I’m hearin’ SCK, I believe? Weird that I know that there’s an error on their spelling on this CD, as they have Kartel as “Cartel.” They’ve been around for, like, a year or two and it took this long? Like, why nothin’ sent to me? Any CDs out? Don’t let ‘em go to waste! A record label from NYC just did a magazine article on me and so did a DJ company based in Orlando; don’t overlook me!!! >>> Beat sounds like somethin’ from a long time ago in Baton Rouge, like a Down Bad song (“Keep Rollin’”?). Anyway, this a pretty nice track; definitely feelin’ this addictive hook with tha title repeatin’! Don’t know tha dude on tha 1^st verse but he must be a part of tha SCK click… Hearin’ it and it sounds pretty nice; definitely diggin’ this a whole lot! Definitely some classic-soundin’ Rouge shit, here! This dude definitely doin’ a nice job on tha verse, here; good shit! Really diggin’ that hook to tha fullest!! I would be surprised if this tops my review, here! If not, it’ll prolly be tha best new joint on this CD that I’ve neva heard of before? U…h…o…h… … … … … B-Real on tha 2^nd verse!!! I think what I’m gonna do iz quote his verse on here and comment on tha lyrics, themselves:

“Fall off in tha club, you know what’s up, oh, you gon see me.” – Recognition…

“Got err-body eyez watchin’ me like I’m a TV.” – Like my manager would say, “Really?!” Wait till I see her tomorrow!! She don’t play no games!!!

“I’m in here, in tha center of tha flo’, watch how I turn up!” – Auto-positive vibes…

“So hot, I make ya burn up; I bet I make ya cut up.” – Have you eva been cold, B-Real?

“Do my thing, what tha fuck you mean? I be super clean.” – You know, B-Real, as much as you fuckin’ hate my fuckin’ guts, you’re one of tha biggest influences in my life! Everytime I’m at my job, I feel like I’m you with your excitement and no baggage!

“V.I.P. turn tha picture booth into a movie scene.” – Nice; do I sound like a fuckin’ fag for givin’ you props, despite you blocking me?!

“Buckin’ hard like I’m on tha barz, I be ackin’ bad…” – You told me you were afraid of jiggaz, B-Real! What gives?!

“Takin’ tabs, gotta show my ass, turnin’ up my swag, yeah (retarded)!” – March 8, 2013, you told me you were scared of pillz!! Like, c’mon! Still a nice line, but I’ono, I ain’t gon lie about my brother overdosing and dying!

“You know I get stupid in this biiiiiiiiiiitch (retarded)!!” – Wow, B-Real with tha voice!!! Kinda on a Delwin tip, but still, wow, earthshaking!!! Just wanna give you tha biggest hug in tha fuckin’ world!!!

“Don’t make a nigga lose it in this biiiiiiiiiiitch (retarded)!!” – Nice, once again!!

“You get to actin’ foolish in this biiiiiiiiiiitch (retarded)!!” – Luv it!!

“Yo face, you gon lose it in this biiiiiiiiiiitch (yeah)!! – No wonder why I love you, B-Real; you really changed my life! Here I am, $25,000 later ‘cause I helped you with your equipment and how you blocked me! But yeah, what an excellent verse that my heart just aches to know that we’re no longer connected! :( I still wish to this day that we reconnect! Tha verse iz excellent and doesn’t even have a money reference!!! Don’t worry, we’ll re-connect and meet one day, B-Real! As far as tha rest of this, Level, you’re on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit good shit, once again!! My Rating: 4.9

19. “5 Stars” feat. Mookie, Box, Racked-Up Ready & Max Minelli

Endin’ it like we did tha last time, lol! Order’s a lil’ wrong, though; lemme fix it… My Current Rating: 4.0

Overall: OMG, my review ended at 3:11—Ang’s birthday time!! Now, B-Real, I must ask, “Can we start breaks?!” LOL! Oh, I’m nice and happy, but watch, I’ll be sad, now that this review’s ova… But, this definitely was a nice and consistent CD to review! Luved pretty much every track that was on here and you already know you keepin’ tha clubs on-n-poppin’, Level! I know you don’t take me serious, but at least I’m still fuckin’ stupid to do this review and state my opinion! I must be so fuckin’ old ta be 27, right? Still in a room doin’ reviewz instead of fuckin’, right? Right? Whateva…

Review #1,470: Level & Mookie Blakk "Now Or Never"

Reviewed on 6.29.2015 (Review #1,470)

Keepin’ my reviewz goin’, despite prolly gettin’ no feedback at all, smh, here’s Level & Mookie Blakk Now Or Never, released last year on Mayham Entertainment. Luv how Mookie’s name’s spelled wrong. It’s “Blakk,” not “Black!” Of course, I refuse to spend a penny on somethin’ like this that was not even sent to me on time, so it’s mine for nothin’!! Start Time: 11:30 AM | End Time: 12:37 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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Now Or Never”

>>> Sounds real nice ta hear with my girl on my screen! Perfect combination; hot beat! Great intro from Level, here… Diggin’ tha hook, minus tha “money” obsession! Even though it goes in one ear and out tha other, I still appreciate this energetic music at all times! Nice 2^nd ½ of tha hook with tha title repeatin’! Here goes Level on tha 1^st verse and thinkin’ about “1987,” I think to myself, “Wow, who would’ve thought I’d be at least five years older than almost all my co-workers?” Damn, where’d tha time go? And, comin’ up from tha grave, here’s Mookie Blakk on tha 2^nd verse. Like, you neva hear from this dude, anymore, like, why? Sounds pretty nice and Louisianaful on tha verse; gotta still dig it… My Rating: 4.5

02. “Swag Right”
>>> E…W…E…Q…R…E…D…O…N…T…H…E…T…R…A…C…K… You already know that I can’t leave feedback on tha production, so lemme just rate tha track, itself… Despite this stupid title, I definitely am diggin’ tha hook! Always delivered in a catchy way by you, Level! Here goes Level on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some consistent shit; definitely a club banga at its finest! No wonder why I can always work six dayz a week and 10-hour dayz!! Too bad tha hook has “stacks” in it; let’s see how many songs’ll have a money reference on this CD, smh… Next up, we got Mookie on tha 2^nd verse, still chasin’ dem “women,” huh? Seems like he’s so old, for some reason, only ‘cause you don’t hear from him, anymore… If I can guess or remember, he 37 by now? Like, WTF? He was, like, 30 when I first talked to him! Now, I’m almost 30! Well, I got three more years! But, it was still a nice verse ta hear… My Rating: 4.7

03. “Gun Range” feat. Mista Cain
>>> Really likin’ this beat start a whole lot; very anticipatin’! Here we go, EQ! Definitely a nice 1^st verse at its finest!! Luvin’ all this shit with tha “gun” references, except how Level mentioned, “I got buku money;” WHY?!? But, this definitely intense; really luvin’ it! “I’m 25…;” really? It’s still 2012/2013, here? Tha hook sounds pretty nice, too; intensity at its finest!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Mookie on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit a catchy flow and how he always lays it down on tha track! And now, here comes Cain on tha 3^rd verse… Definitely diggin’ tha fast flow, at first, and we got tha gunz on lock… Still can’t picture anyone havin’ one, like, why? Nice “iron” part around 3:24! My Current Rating: 4.8

EDIT: Wow, reviewed it last year…

04. “Ball Like A Dog”

>>> Sounds like a nice, Louisiana-soundin’ song, here; can’t complain… Gotta luv how Mookie still “got dem Watsons!” Hearin’ him on tha 1^st verse wit mo pill-poppin’ shit and it sounds nice. However, why M.I.A. from my life? These people just vanished outta my life without tellin’ me! It’s like, W.H.Y.?!? No Facebook, no Twitter, etc.; why? Now, we got Level on tha 2^nd verse; let’s see if he can avoid tha word “money…” A lil’ cocky on tha rhymes, here; God forbid he don’t have a “bitch,” smh! Oh no, I hear somethin’ “broke,” and somethin’ “tha bank;” boo! My Current Rating: 4.2

EDIT: Wow, this too…

05. “I Know Right” feat. Mouse

Lookin’ forward ta this one! >>> So far, it sounds good; can’t complain with this one, either… Tha hook sounds simple, but can catch onto ya… Hearin’ Level on tha—fuck, he said, “You ain’t got no money!” Why can’t “money” be equivalent to someone else’s dick? Like, we should just make every fuckin’ artist gay for throwin’ that bullshit out there to tha watered-down music world!! But, it was an okay 1^st verse from Level, regardless. And now, we got Mouse on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit catchiness; gotta luv his voice!! He got dat consistency on lock; luv tha beat and him together!! Luv how Mouse checks in in tha background of tha hook! “I know… I know… I know… I know…;” dumb shit!! Here comes Mookie on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit his catchy voice, too; luv all tha catchiness!! My Rating: 4.7

06. “Dead & Gone” feat. Malachi

>>> Malachi groanin’ in tha intro, here… Hearin’ tha hook from Level and it sounds nice with this beat. See, now, a song like this doesn’t need a “money” reference! If it’s not “money,” it’s “hoes,” smh; good grief! Level comin’ through on tha 1^st verse with some regular-soundin’ rhymes ‘cause of this sad topic about dyin’. Did he say, “That’s why I bank a lot;” money reference? Damn… damn…! No homo!! Hearin’ Mookie on tha 2^nd verse and it sux to lose their “child,” especially when they’re “20!” My mom lost her son, my brother, at just 25, not even two months ago! He “made it to see 25,” but just only 25 and 12 dayz. :( But, nice lil’ heartfelt verse right there, Mookie. And now, an outro, sendin’ an R.I.P. shout out. Oh yeah, forgot about Malachi for a sec, holdin’ down a lil’ bit of tha outro… My Rating: 4.3

07. “Throw It Up” feat. Q-Red
>>> Sounds anticipatin’ like B-Real in tha beginning, but no!! If it’s not B-Real, it’s gotta be someone else! Q-Red; ewe!! Not even listed on tha feature… He’s on tha hook and all I have to say iz, Ang… *goes to Ang’s Facebook…* “Can we start breaks?!? Who’s first on break?!?” ROFL!!! I gotta tolerate that shit tomorrow, ROFL!! Gonna have to put Q-Red in my head at 8:59:00 ‘cause Ang’ll ask at 8:59:51 & 8:59:57, like, seconds before 9!! B-Real couldn’t handle that when I’d tell him I’d call him at tha exact time I’d say! It’s like, damn, no one in Baton Rouge can take business seriously, it seems like? :( That’s all I gotta say!! And, here we go with Level on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit catchy shit! Definitely diggin’ tha rhymes and catchy flow, here! Did I not hear a money reference? We got Mookie on tha 2^nd verse and it’s nice… However, I hear him goin’ on and on about “money,” at one point! Oh, what Ang iz to breaks iz what I am to “money” in rhymes!! My Rating: 4.6

08. “Let It Rain” feat. April Reign

>>> Sounds familiar? Either way, way too slow for this CD! What a way to kill tha vibe! An okay 1^st verse from Level, here, but on tha boring side… Hearin’ Mookie on tha 2^nd verse, as well as tha hook and it ain’t bad… Damn, “my money come in access;” gay! A lil’ bridge/verse from April near tha end, here; an okay part but fuck, she even ruined tha ending! Like, “Moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy;” why?!? Gonna just say, fuck this! My Rating: 2.7

09. “Buy Me A Drank” feat. April Reign
My Current Rating: 4.4

½time: So far, pretty nice, except tha “Let It Rain” song; luvin’ tha club bangaz, of course! Can’t deny err-thang goin’ on, here; always keep it hyped up! For now, tha CD rating’s at a 4.3; let’s keep tha collaboration project between Level & Mookie Blakk goin’!

10. “Do It”
>>> Sounds like a nice, uptempo club beat, includin’ tha hook; nice. Here comes Mookie on tha 1^st verse and damn, here comes tha “money” shit ta start tha verse off; y…a…w…n… Here comes Level on tha 2^nd verse and let’s see how many bars it takes for him to say somethin’ about “money…” Well, only three, smh! He sounds great on this, but that’s all I gotta say. Likin’ tha “-ank” shit ta end some of tha lines; good shit! We got a 3^rd verse from Mookie, here, comin’ through wit a nice “party;” can’t complain… And, Level comin’ through on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 3^rd verse wit dem “loratabs & Xanabarz!” My Rating: 4.2

11. “Showing Luv” feat. Box
Box not listed on tha track… My Current Rating: 3.9

12. “Brown & White 2014” feat. Big Poppa

Let’s see tha 2014 version, like a 3^rd part… >>> Already in one ear and out tha otha, since Q-Red produced it… Zero memories with me, now, smh. But, nice hook wit Mookie on tha hook; nice lil’ resurrection in a long-lost Louisiana world! It sux ‘cause I now have a record label behind me with multiple articles out there, and no one fucks wit me, anymore! It’s like, y’all losses! Got a wild Mookie on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit consistency ta hold tha club down! While I refuse to comment on tha production, I have to say, no wonder where I get my energy from, at work. It’s almost like I take Q-Red in me, while working, but get rid of all his ignoring, BPM-hating baggage he brings, and just have a good time at work, ya dig? At 2:03, a loooooooooooong, niiiiiiiiiice screeeeeeech from Big Poppa? But wait, we got Level on tha 2^nd verse, here; leggo! Let’s see how long ‘til he talks about “money!” Ooh, heard “loratabs, Xanabarz” before a “money” reference! I think he went a verse without mentionin’ “money;” wow!! Got tha biggest Poppa on tha 3^rd verse, lol; he sounded nice on this shit. He no longer sounds below average, like some of tha times back in tha day. Nice lil’ “gumbo” line, too; gotta keep tha Louisiana energy comin’ along! My Rating: 4.6

13. “Something They Can Feel”
>>> Sounds like a lil’ video game in tha background of this beat? Pretty anticipatin’; thanx, G-Motive! Mookie on tha hook and yeah, “Let’s give ‘em somethin’ they can feel!!” A catchy hook with tha cool look, too; good shit! I continue ta look cool amongst my peers; always feelin’ like a celebrity! Nice, catchy 1^st verse from Mookie, here; gotta feel tha rhymes! Still, I don’t expect my phone to ring by him anytime soon… It’s like, turn M.I.A. into I.M.H.E.R.E.! Level on tha 2^nd verse, here, and blah, blah, blah! Cocky rhymes at their finest, smh… I guess this what makes tha club go ‘round? Nice “This ain’t no X-Box, this ain’t no PS3” shit; feelin’ that shit! However, here Level goes with tha “If you ain’t got no money” shit; well, where’s mine? Neva got a penny from you with business, Level! I literally feel like a piece of shit and that’s why people don’t see me doin’ things, these dayz! Y’all be self-centered? Well, guess what, I am, now! No one can handle it; it’s scary!! My Rating: 4.3

14. “I Thought You Knew”
>>> A Q-Red beat; why can’t he be a better person? With this Racked-Up Ready tribute video I got comin’ up, I wonder if he’ll even watch tha video? Prolly not! I’ll just go back to my six dayz a week with my job! But, tha hook sounds nice; feelin’ tha sample… Hearin’ Level on tha 1^st verse and it’s catchy; always gotta rep strong fa tha Rouge! Mookie on tha 2^nd verse, here, and females “wearin’” males’ “clothes,” lol? You already know that you gotta have a lil’ transgender/acting in you, right? A regular-soundin’ verse, but please, puke when you say, “Money,” Mookie! It’s gay! Let males wear female clothes like Young Thug!! My Rating: 4.4

15. “Put It On Ya”
>>> Really hot beat start, here! Tha hook sounds pretty catchy, here; good shit, Mookie! And, here comes Mookie on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through nicely on tha track! Ahh, “money in my pocket;” damn, you Mookie!! Am I gonna earn “money” from you soon? I prolly am better off pickin’ up extra hours at my job? That’s easy “money” that I’d PULL TEETH FOR with anyone from Louisiana, smh! But, here goes Mookie on tha 2^nd verse, too, comin’ through wit more catchy rhymes… I still don’t get how you guys can release this music and not even send it to me. It’s like, why even record anything? It’s just goin’ to WASTE!! W.A.S.T.E.!!!!! Now, we finally got Level on tha 3^rd verse and it’s soundin’ good. A reference to “BluBlack,” here, or was Level meaning “blue black?” Either way, I know they’ve collaborated before, but I’ono if Level would show him luv outside of a conversation ‘cause Blu’s underrated! My Rating: 4.3

16. “Jump On It”
>>> More Q-Red beats with somethin’ that sounds like a female sample from tha ‘90s or somethin’, like a party R&B record… Either way, an okay hook. Hearin’ Mookie on tha 1^st verse and it sounds decent. It’s almost like we keep gettin’ a large amount of quantity with music, these dayz. Like, why does every CD have to have, like, 18 songs on it? Like, what’s with all tha Level CDs gettin’ out there that I neva hear? Too much quantity over quality? Like, a good portion of tha quality in tha music’s here, but not to last a legacy, due to I don’t get to enjoy it while it’s out! SMH! Now, we got Level on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit a nice sex scene! Imagine a dude hittin’ on Level, lol? Like, Level, how would you react? How would you react to an autistic person approachin’ you? Hmm… Will that eva happen? Will Level have an autistic kid? An okay verse; can’t complain… My Rating: 4.0

17. “Something Safe To Play With”
>>> A knock at tha do’…; an EQ beat… Catchy hook from Mookie, here; kinda reminds me of my ’08 excitement for Louisiana music, lol. Hearin’ Mookie on tha 1^st verse and he’s got shit on lock; nice job, minus tha “Ben Franklins!” Too many beat tag noises? Kinda gay, like a dude hittin’ on anotha dude, right? Hearin’ more of tha hook and it’s now soundin’ like Mookie’s obsessin’ “money” even more; gross!! Here comes Level on tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ good, as always! Then again, “nothin’ but 25;” it’s 2012/2013 again? Enough wit tha “money” shit, Level!! My Rating: 4.1

18. “Throw Up My Pocket”
>>> Anotha beat provided by EQ Tha Misfit, here… Sounds like a club banga fa Mookie, here, like a snake windin’… Nice 2^nd ½ of tha hook wit tha title part and tha “drop it down low;” good shit, Mookie! Damn, why all tha beat sounds again, throughout tha whole entire song? Stupid idea!! Mookie on tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ nice, of course; can’t complain, here… Hearin’ Level on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds nice, too; I’m likin’ tha “Foxy Brown” reference, too. I also like how Level said, “Fasho,” on tha start to tha 13^th bar, lol. My Rating: 4.3

19. “5-Star Cypher” feat. Box, Racked-Up Ready & Max Minelli
Endin’ it with an almost-nine-minute joint, here… >>> Beat’s aight ta rap on, here… Here’s Level on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit dat energy! “I’m tryna get some money. My money good…;” yeah, yeah, yeah… “I’m just playin’, mane;” heard tha laughter in your voice, lol. Guess this tha way of rappin’ off tha top of your head? No wonder why there’s so many “money” references, smh! I’ve gotten a lot betta with freestylin’ now, eva since workin’, goin’ through shit & gettin’ high, and I have ta say, I can even try and avoid any “money” references as much as I can! Try it! Like, numbers are better, such as 36,000 seconds in 10 hours, or 5 81334 00501 0 for a .99 coffee coupon’s barcode, Level!! Think! Now, we got Mookie on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some catchy rhymes; feelin’ his random rappin’… Damn, Mookie, at 3:12, “Fuck till I’m exhausted;” came outta nowhere, lol! Lots of Mookie rappin’, here; nice! Time fa “B-O-X” on tha 3^rd verse, here… Just an okay verse fa me, but nothin’ ta complain about. Just like he said, “Tha verses are basic;” exactly what I said! Now, we got “Young Ready,” as he says, on tha 4^th verse, here… Feelin’ his gangsta shit, here… No bullshit rhymes on this verse, here; feelin’ what he got goin’ on, here. LOL @ “I like bitches who suck and fuck;” lol @ tha “suck and fuck!” And now, Max on tha 5^th verse ta rap it up! Regular rappin’, here; nothin’ really ta say… And, like Level said, “I’m tha best;” he was, on this! My Rating: 4.0

Overall: This CD was strongest during tha beginning and then, got a lil’ on a decent level. There were still quite a bit of bangerz, though. I have to give Level his props for always havin’ energy, non-stop! Got two more reviewz of him to do, so I gon appreciate more energy comin’ outta his August 28, 1987-ass, lol! But yeah, nice team project and, as always, great production! Keep tha energy goin’ fa life!!
