Review #1,152: M.A. "H.E.R.T."

Reviewed on 4.30.2012 (Review #1,152)

Wish I could’ve squeezed more reviewz in for this month, but it iz what it iz; goin’ to sleep a lil’ earlier to catch this girl Mica 2morrow! Gotta interview her for one of my projects, and you know how anticipatin’ it iz for college gurlz! :) To end off tha month of April, here’s a Jungle Records release: M.A. H.E.R.T.! Start Time: 10:55 PM | End Time: 11:23 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!

01. “Power Struggle”

>>> Time fa some “Power” beat, here… Beat makes this boring, but I like your rhymes, here, showin’ luv ta your city/tha state of Louisiana. My Rating: 3.4

02. “Bill Gates (Freestyle)” Feat. Dino

>>> This iz a lil’ betta; I like how Dino sounds on this wit his rhymin’, internet style… My Rating: 3.5

03. “Wrong”

>>> Oh, an original production from JokaBoi, here; thumbs up fa tha new music! Hearin’ how tha beat sounds wit you blendin’ in it and it sounds like it could fit into tha mainstream, in a way… My Rating: 3.7

04. “Boyz 2 Men (Block Love)”

I dunno what ta expect wit this kinda title… >>> Okay, a nice beat you chose, here; feelin’ tha “hard times” rhymes. You’re right about tha “no BET,” even though if it’s Northeast PA, that’s tha case, since I ain’t got BET. Then again, they’re, like, dead without Rap City: Tha Basement! I think this iz catchy; tha vibe makes it sound good fa tha streets. My Rating: 3.8

05. “A.C.T.”

Whoooooo!!! Kinda keep forgettin’ ‘bout this song; think I finna add it to my personal playlist! My Current Rating: 4.2

06. “I Eat Trackz”

Looks RoyDezzyish on tha title… >>> Lol @ how tha hook sounds; catchy lil’ sound, here, as you’re eatin’ your way to tha top, lol! Rhymes are not bad, either… My Rating: 3.7

07. “Kay’len 2”

>>> A baby girl start; good that you threw that in fa tha people out there. Nothin’ too special wit tha beat and tha hook, but your rhymes are good to hear… My Rating: 3.1

08. “Disgusted”

Good title; this iz one of tha words I said in one of tha final projects I did with my group, recently, so I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ this, in a way… >>> Decent sound; hook ain’t too bad, either, since you’re grindin’… Good rhymes to describe a “disgusted” M.A., lol. My Rating: 3.6

09. “Mrs. Do It Rite”

>>> “X-rated”? Ooh, on tha M.A. tip; lookin’ forward ta hearin’! Lol, some of tha lyrics are kinda funny, here; “I’m a fuckin’ monster…,” and then, it gets dirtier, lol!! Thumbs up fa dis; definitely gettin’ a kick outta it… My Rating: 4.0

½time: A 3.7-rated CD, currently; not too bad, as you always keep somethin’ up. I thought this was called Hert, but it’s H.E.R.T., as an acronym.

10. PSA 1

>>> Thanx fa dis lil’ skit, in tha mist of this! Oh yea, tha Twitter: @ma225; props… My Rating: N/A

11. “Pose 4 Tha Mirror”

My Current Rating: 3.8

12. “Up N Here” Feat. Gutta Baby & Uptown Redd

JokaBoi doin’ anotha beat! >>> Sounds a lil’ familiar, but I’m luvin’ this beginning beat; definitely on dat tight level!! Good shit from you, here…; hearin’ tha 2^nd verse, and tha lady’s okay, but it’s soundin’ a lil’ betta, all of a sudden… Tha 3^rd verse iz pretty good, too, as far as creatin’ a nice vibe. My Rating: 4.1

13. “Get Off” Feat. Lil’ P.A., Pada & Blacc

>>> Can I drink some bloody, slimy vomit? Almost passed out wit tha first few seconds; should skip, but I think I need to talk about how hot Havana Brown iz than leave certain feedback! I have ta say, good song fa you be on, though, no matter how uncomfortable I feel right now! Nothin’ personal at all; I only state opinions, so no offendingness goin’ on, here!! My Rating: 4.4

14. PSA 2

>>> A longer one… I’m likin’ what you sayin’, here; keep tha skits and PSAs comin’!! I agree wit this “lyin’” shit you talk ‘bout, here; had a self-destructed event happen to me last night, for someone that didn’t take my ratings seriously! :td My Rating: N/A

15. “I’m Out Chea” Feat. Jay Regal & Tut

Anotha JokaBoi production! >>> Oh, I rememba this from a while ago; good ta hear this on here. My Current Rating: 4.4

16. “What Cha Hustle 4” Feat. Kee Low Magnum

Production from Drako Da Beat Man, here. >>> Good, no beat tag! Oh, anotha familiar song; thumbs up! My Current Rating: 4.3

17. “T.D.H.” Feat. Stretch

Ooh, lookin’ forward ta hearin’ a Stretch collab, especially wit you! >>> Iz this tha same dude from tha Savage Unit clique? It sounds more like a Jungle Records voice that sounds good, than a Savage Unit Stretch… Thumbs up fa this Stretch showin’ you luv; what else could he ask for, lol? You got some catchy shit goin’ on here, too, M.A.; lol, just randomly, puttin’ your “condom on,” lol! My Rating: 4.1

18. “2nite I Wanna Cry”

>>> Sorry, this ain’t my kinda shit, between tha hook and beat. However, listenin’ to your rhymes and they are of unfortunate content; nice job deliverin’ these rhymes… My Rating: 2.6

Overall: Better than I expected; you got pretty lucky wit tha 2^nd ½! Keep up wit droppin’ tracks wit original production!!

Review #1,138: Pada "Free Boo Boo (Promo Mixtape)"

Gettin’ some more reviewz done… Here’s Pada Free Boo Boo (Promo Mixtape); Pada iz wit Jungle Records. Start Time: 9:08 AM | End Time: 9:32 AM

Link To CD: http://www.datpiff.com/PADA-Free-Boo-Boo-mixtape.316208.html

01. Intro

>>> You actually sound like M.A. wit tha voice; good intro. My Rating: N/A

02. “1 N A Million” Feat. Ya Yo

>>> Nice for a really slow beat; “did niggaz dirty”? I was gonna ask, do people do you “dirty”? Like, how do you succeed, without people bein’ bitches, wit sellin’ shit? Tha Ya Yo gurl sounds good wit her ‘90s-soundin’ voice and delivery, on tha hook. My Rating: 3.8

03. “Steppin’” Feat. Uptown Redd

I remember this; thanx for M.A. for sendin’ it to me! Sounds like a catchy song that’s okay wit tha whole “steppin’” thing; at least you’re squashin’ people. My Current Rating: 3.6

04. “Jacc Boy” Feat. Corday

>>> Sounds like an okay flow; almost sounds like I heard this kinda flow before, wit tha “robbery” beginning… Good 2^nd verse from tha Corday dude, “dressed in all black.” Feelin’ these “drugs” rhymes, especially when it comes ta “lookin’” fa ‘em! My Rating: 3.6

05. “CNN” Feat. Jay Regal

>>> Didn’t know what ta expect wit this; I like how it’s a trap anthem. Once again, anotha really slow beat ta rap off of… Jay Regal, lol wit tha “chair” that he had “ta grab fa” all tha “money;” good shit. My Rating: 3.7

06. “R-N-U” Feat. M.A.

>>> Good beginning from M.A.; keep it goin’… Oh, a hook; sounds good. Lol @ tha “university” part; sounds like a catchy part for such a random word, lol! Not bad wit your part on tha 1^st verse, Pada; M.A. has a slightly-betta verse on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through by ownin’ tha track. My Rating: 3.9

07. “Tell It How It Is” Feat. Ty

Bonus track @ #07? >>> I don’t really like hearin’ tha word “real” quite a lot, in a song, so this iz more on tha below-average/okay side for me… Tha rhymes are okay; guess features make tha songs better? My Rating: 3.1

08. “Clutchin’” Feat. Ty, Dino & Dogan

>>> Young Jack doin’ production, here; sounds like a hot beat. Tha hook sounds pretty tight; guess original production helps? Ooh, “Aimin’ at yo neck, tryna rip away ya vocal box;” gettin’ rid of dat ‘Me-Luv-Dick Tune’! I like how this iz on a gangsta tip; seems quite like a mission, too, wit tha music. Tha 3^rd verse sounds like it could be tha best fa me; lol @ tha “urinal” part. One of my group assignments iz based on a urinal, for class, lol; really lookin’ forward ta filmin’ new things! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit some gangsta shit; damn @ this over-five-minute length… My Rating: 4.0

½time: A 3.7-rated CD; just like other Jungle Records CDs, this iz decent, too.

09. “My Jost Was Hard (Skit)”

>>> Likin’ that it’s a skit… Oh, maybe it should’ve been called a freestyle? I don’t know what a “jost” iz but it sounds good in these rhymes… My Rating: 4.1

10. “Blessed Child (Problems)” Feat. Ty & Lil’ Faron

Not really my kinda title… >>> I dunno why, but this beat start sounds really hot, whateva it iz; good pick! Tha 1^st verse sounds kinda typical, wit tha whole money, money, money shit… Tha hook’s okay, too; thought it would be a lil’ more catchier, wit betta lyrics, on a beat sound like dis… Tha 2^nd verse iz a lil’ betta; nothin’ really ta comment about it… A lil’ betta wit tha 3^rd verse, too; sounds like they’re reppin’ nicely fa tha team. Actually, hearin’ tha hook again, and it’s soundin’ like a great hook; pretty catchy on this beat! My Rating: 4.1

11. “Game Fukked Up”

Finally, a solo song? >>> Beginning sounds good; rhymes sound good on this beat, too. My Rating: 3.8

12. “Toat That Iron” Feat. Blacc

Bonus? >>> What’s wit tha jacked beat? Yuck… Likin’ that Blacc dude; hope he raps on some original-produced music… Can’t really comment on you, here, ‘cause tha beat’s jacked, which my interest’s really at 0. I’m only commentin’ on Blacc ‘cause this tha 1^st time I’m hearin’ him; glad he got some gangsta shit on here! My Rating: 3.3

13. “Dope Rental” Feat. Lil’ Faron

>>> I like this title and how this sounds, for what it iz… Oh no, all this money-related shit on tha 1^st verse; time ta skim through tha song! Tha feature’s okay, here, but doesn’t really do anything wit my interest… My Rating: 3.0

14. “Small Circle” Feat. Lil’ Faron

>>> Sounds like somethin’ I can usually hear about how people are assholes, and that you only mess wit a few; nothin’ new. My Rating: 2.7

15. “All Black Everything” Feat. Dude Blitz & Bear

Kinda bleh wit tha title… >>> Yea, anotha one that sounds like nothin’ new… A lil’ more excitin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, as far as, basically, tha flow… Tha 3^rd verse’s a lil’ betta, but tha content’s still boring. My Rating: 2.9

16. “Nikki”
>>> Ehh, nothin’ that great; not really into family-member songs, especially in rap music, especially in underground music! My Rating: 2.3

17. “Steppin’ (Clean)” Feat. Uptown Redd

See #3 fa tha review!

Overall: Okay, but tha 2^nd ½ was more below-average for me.

Rankings:

15.       “Nikki” 2.3

14.       “Small Circle” Feat. Lil’ Faron 2.7

13.       “All Black Everything” Feat. Dude Blitz & Bear 2.9

Review #1,125: M.A. "The Rap Derek Lewis (Hosted by Jungle Records Radio)"

Reviewed on 1.19.2012 (Review #1,125)


Startin’ my day off wit a review for Jungle Records’ M.A. The Rap Derek Lewis (Hosted by Jungle Records Radio). This mixtape iz also mixed by Yankee Brim $lim a.k.a. DJ 2 Pistols. Start Time: 8:36 AM | End Time: 9:05 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.

Link To CD: N/A


01. “The Rap Derek Lewis”
>>> LOL @ tha short ‘host’ intro… Sounds a touch catchy wit how you’re comin’ wit this song… Once again, you sound like Jay Regal, in a family way, wit tha voice… Oh, only one verse, here? Good job wit tha outro/radio talk, at tha end; you say this a “promo disc”? Sounds more like a mixtape, for me; “free Bear”? SMH @ jail!! My Rating: 3.8


02. “I Just Wanna Rip”
>>> At least this mixtape has mixin’ in it… Rhymes sound pretty good; longer outro than song, lol? Kinda funny, but it’s always good ta hear some details. My Rating: 3.6


03. “A.C.T.”
Ironically, I’m studyin’ “ACT” framework for class, currently; let’s see what you got, here. >>> Of course, it ain’t tha framework, and more on what anyone can talk about. Oh, even though it’s an acronym, it’s more of a word, wit an acronym spellin’: “Watch me act a ass wit it;” I see… Sounds good, wit how everything sounds together; a “Q Black” production, accordin’ to you. Prolly could’ve added some more energy wit a song like dis… My Rating: 3.9


04. “Good Nite” (J.A.P.A.N.)
You already know. My Current Rating: 4.2


05. “Pose 4 Tha Mirror”
>>> Time fa an anthem for those “ladies” dat gon “pose 4 tha mirror”? Let’s see… Thought it was gonna be a lil’ soft, but it’s a good/okay song, overall; not bad wit tha hook… Rhymes also go wit tha hook; nothin’ bad ‘bout dis… My Rating: 3.8


06. Friday (Skit)
>>> LOL, didn’t expect a skit on this mixtape, for some reason (I guess since tha previous ones I reviewed didn’t have any); nice job wit this “garbage” (and I don’t mean negatively)! My Rating: N/A


07. “Up N Here”
>>> Sounds like an anticipatin’, Beat Flippa meets Nu$$ie-type beat, here; lookin’ forward! Kinda took a while wit tha beginning, but this sounds good. Still, might need more energy in tha voice!! Good job wit this club shit; I have ta feel it better than usual songs! My Rating: 4.2


08. “Ham N Dis Bytch” Feat. Dino & Bear
>>> Almost five minutes long, but let’s see what I can get outta this… Nice beginning rhymes; anotha hot club/good anthem. Even though there should be more energy in tha voice, this sounds good/shit I can tolerate… I don’t mind anyone’s rhymes, here; Dino’s on tha 3^rd verse, so shouldn’t he be behind Bear on tha ID? My Rating: 4.1


½time: Above average, for me; 3.9 for tha current CD rating…


09. “Keep Smokin’” Feat. Jack (of Down Bad) & Pada
>>> A.K.A. Jack Da Rippa; I thought that’s who I heard in tha beginning… I was gonna say, at least it’s an attempt for a better feature than other CDs I previously reviewed, but most people are tha same wit their buzzes and shit. I like how Jack says, “Dat last gram I had? Psst, sold it!” You already know it’s ‘bout dis smokin’ shit! Was kinda worried ‘bout tha 7:12 length, but it ain’t bad. LOL @ when it says, “Man, I’m loaded in dis bitch,” ‘round 3:40, it sounds like I can hear pasting (wit hearin’ a sound effect before tha repeatin’). But yea, definitely a jam; you know dat Jack actually has more character and energy when he raps/sings! My Rating: 4.3


10. “On My Mind”
>>> Now, a shorter song; good transition, and it sounds like a song ta make you feel good ‘bout yourself. My Rating: 4.0


11. “Murda Man (Freestyle)”
>>> ROFL, I thought that first few seconds was my voice! It’s ironic ‘cause we’re textin’ right now! But, not a skit, but a freestyle, and it’s pretty gutta; from jail? Where this comin’ from? Good shit; oh, from “tha computer”? My Rating: 4.3


12. “Love In The Studio”
>>> WTF iz this long, pop/boy band vocals shit? Took way too long for me to hear your verse; not much interest for me… My Rating: 1.5


13. “Super Sick” Feat. Neno Tha Don
>>> Now, no beat, but it sounds good in tha beginning… Now, I’m hearin’ tha beat and lyrics; it’s more on tha ‘typical’, 2010s music structure, for me, so I can’t feel this too much. Really, only tha acapella freestyle caught my attention, in tha beginning. I also have to comment your “polo,” too, since dat shit’s nice. My Rating: 2.7


14. “From A Distance”
>>> At least this ain’t no long-ass, boring-ass song; it’s decent and short, tha way a mixtape track should be. Well, I dunno about tha beat, but this ain’t terrible, for me; at least you keepin’ tha rhymes goin’… My Rating: 3.2


15. “The Best”
>>> I don’t think I gon go for this; 4:31 on tha length, no less… Sounds a lil’ for a teenager, for me, wit tha lyrics; ironic for someone that’s older than me… I rather hear some X-rated rhymes, instead. My Rating: 1.6


16. “Spot Light”
>>> Not a good ending for me, wit this “throw up”/’I-sit-in-tha-house-everyday-dwellin’-on-makin’-a-friendship year of 2005 (“Down And Out” beat). Barely any interest, but now, you finally have better/consistent rhymes? Not too powerful of a mix, for me, unfortunately. My Rating: 2.9


Overall: Ehh, it was better in tha beginning, but took a nose-dive toward tha end; not every rapper can create this so-called ‘diversified’ Louisiana music.

Link To CD: N/A

01. “P.A. Niggaz”

Let’s hear it! >>> Sounds like a tight anthem fa Port Allen, despite it bein’ a Vybe beat! Really likin’ that tha title’s in tha song, frequently; definitely grabbin’ tha listener by tha ear, for Port Allen!! My Rating: 4.3

02. “Thuggin’ & Lovin’ It” Feat. Dude Blitz & Dee Dee

>>> Must be tha same singer from tha “cook” song, from tha Jay Bin Laden CD? Sounds catchy, this time, wit tha hook! Good job wit tha verses, too; kinda feels like a musical glance at Port Allen, at its finest! My Rating: 4.1

03. “Good Nite”

Now, it’s not a compound word; produced by Young Jack, as I previously heard! My Current Rating: 4.2

04. “Lay ‘Em Down”

A solo from Regal… Oh yea, I recognize this title; tha “9millie” song, lol. My Current Rating: 3.7

05. “Deuces Freestyle”

Solo from M.A., here. >>> I hear M.A.’s mixtape title, The Rap Derek Lewis, in tha intro; guess I gon hear this tomorrow, when I review M.A.’s solo mixtape? Either way, “Deuces” beat or not, this ain’t too bad; M.A. seems ta have nearly tha same voice as Jay Regal, these dayz… Rhymes are barely passin’ tha ‘aight’ mark fa me, here, but more on tha boring side, overall… Also, since it’s a “freestyle”, it shouldn’t be tha same length as tha original! My Rating: 3.1

06. “Deez Streets” Feat. 20

Wonder who this 20 dude iz… >>> Really think y’all “die in deez streets”? :( Hope not; can’t even think about death!! Still, I’m feelin’ these “streets”-type rhymes; keep this shit up! My Rating: 3.9

07. “Murder Rate”

>>> This iz a ‘repeat’ beat for me (Vybe); played a song who made their own song off of this, back in ’09, so I already had a main song off this beat, which makes my interest real low… For this, I’m likin’ tha ‘gun’ rhymes, once again; I really like how y’all paint a picture of your streets. M.A. on tha 2^nd verse? Catchy flow; I’ll give it credit, includin’ tha nice rhymes. My Rating: 3.5

08. “Paper Chase” Feat. Redd

>>> Because it’s a Vybe beat, this iz okay, overall; glad it’s a ‘mission’-type song! I like tha “lunch line” line; all about them memories! Redd does a nice job wit his contributions, too; gotta feel how he comin’ through, on tha track! My Rating: 3.6

½time: A 3.8-rated CD, currently.

09. “Get It Girl”

>>> Really would like to hear original beats; this iz decent, but nothin’ I’d really pay attention to… My Rating: 3.0

10. “Game Tight”
Production from Drako? >>> Sounds remakey…; luckily, it ain’t too bad, and tackles a good subject, since it’s all about tha “real.” Whether this iz remakey or not, I’m likin’ it, and think it’s a nice production. Rhymes are soundin’ good, of course, I can dig it… My Rating: 4.0

11. “Fuck U Pay Me” (Tune Feat. J.A.P.A.N.)

Not sure what you mean by “tune” in tha ID… New production from Biggs, here… >>> Sounds like a quiet version of “Wipe Me Down”, a lil’; not bad… Oh wait, do you mean Tune Feat. J.A.P.A.N. for tha ID ‘cause it’s actually y’all CD? Okay, I hear, and I’m correct; my bad for tha confusion. I have to say, this sounds like a nice, underground, underground song for tha underground, lol. My Rating: 3.8

12. “Livin’ My Life” Feat. S.B.R. Boy

Speakin’ of S.B.R. Boy, what happened to his Facebook? Ducked off? >>> Beginning sounds okay; thought I’d hear a lil’ more tightness from S.B.R., but it’s all good, still. Kinda long on tha length, but I dunno what ta say…; you already know dat you guys hold it down for tha streetz. My Rating: 3.6

13. “D’Boys”

Lil’ Wubb on tha beat; I remember this. However, when hearin’ tha beginning, right now, “Raw Ha Records”? “Hood Official Vol. 1;” fa real? I remember that CD gettin’ pushed back/cancelled ‘cause I didn’t even have an editing program, at tha time, lol; weird dedication! My Current Rating: 4.2

14. “Street Shit” Feat. Dino

>>> Nothin’ really special wit tha sound and how this sounds wit tha 1^st verse… Damn @ Jay Regal for takin’ “a baby;” crazy! Ooh, Dino has a good voice fa this; nice job, too! My Rating: 3.2

15. “Fashion Show” Feat. Dino

Anotha production from Drako, here… >>> Nothin’ really special between tha beat and what’s goin’ on wit tha song… For some reason, tha features seem to be catchin’ my attention more; good job, Dino, endin’ this off. My Rating: 2.9

16. “Leave Me Lonely” Feat. Redd & Tut

>>> Wow, weak beat start for J.A.P.A.N.! :( Now, tha rhymes are soundin’ betta, smh? Rhymes are okay, but they’re, like, non-Louisiana for me, wit this sound. M.A. sounds good wit his shit, here, so I’ll give him some credit… My Rating: 2.5

17. “I Ain’t Fuckin’ Wit Cha” Feat. Pada & Bear

>>> Catchy for an ending song; not bad… Likin’ tha 1^st verse wit tha flow, voice, and shit goin’ on, here… Tha 2^nd verse iz nice, too; looks like tha features help, once again! My Rating: 3.8

Overall: Ehh, could’ve been a lil’ betta, but I guess tha original beats’ll come soon…

Review #1,123: Jay Regal "Jay Bin Laden"

Reviewed on 1.18.2012 (Review #1,123)

Already up to my 8^th review today? That doesn’t seem typical, but I guess I seem motivated ‘cause I’m mad!! It’s Jay Regal Jay Bin Laden, uh-uh-uh-oh, lol! Still wit Jungle Records, but this ain’t a Raw Ha release (that’s how long it’s been since I have heard a Jay Regal CD). Start Time: 8:46 PM | End Time: 9:23 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!

Link To CD: N/A

01. “Curtain Call”

>>> I think this iz a good-soundin’ intro track; nice rhymes, within your perspective… My Rating: 4.0

02. “Shotgun” Feat. Pada

>>> Hook and beat sounds good ta hear; good shit fa tha streetz… I’m likin’ your street-type rhymes, here, when it comes ta how you handle your “shotgun,” ya feel me? Pada’s on tha 2^nd verse and he sounds a lil’ like a white dude, wit how he sounds; okay, but not much energy goin’ on in tha flow… My Rating: 3.7

03. “Goodnite”

Or, not as a compound word (“Good Nite”); let’s hear this J.A.P.A.N. single… >>> This sounds like single material; sounds like one of y’all’s doin’ tha damn thang on tha hook! I think it’s M.A. on tha hook? Nearly tha same voice, but whateva, this iz hot… Tha 1^st verse iz good; it’s all about not carin’ about others, which iz what I’m now developin’! Yea, here you are on tha 2^nd verse, Regal; you know what it iz…/I don’t need ta say much… My Rating: 4.2

04. “Lay ‘Em Down”

>>> Anotha “gun” anthem; you can pull it off, unlike others. Speakin’ of a “9millie,” I had one to me four years ago, on January 23, as a “joke,” smh! Good, catchy verses fa your streetz, here. My Rating: 3.7

05. “Break It Down” Feat. Dude Blitz & DeeDee

>>> Wasn’t expectin’, or anticipatin’ tha singin’, but if this iz about cuttin’ “work,” then I’ll let it slide… LOL, you “count a lotta 100’s,” huh? How consistent are you wit it? Hope you can do some of my services, soon… What’s up wit these random kids in tha background? Soundin’ a lil’ too much… Dude Blitz sounds not bad on tha 2^nd verse; glad he’s makin’ an appearance, at least… My Rating: 3.8

06. “What You Mean I Ain’t Gangsta”

Different spellin’, this time… Sorry, but this iz complete novelty, bad luck music for me, now; R.I.P. 2009, forever! My Current Rating: 4.3

07. “Chicks In The Living Room” Feat. Dino

I don’t remember Dino’s name all capitalized… >>> Nas sample in tha hook; sounds a lil’ catchy, as it repeats, so I don’t mind too much… Good shit from you in tha 1^st verse; keep this shit goin’, Regal. Dino sounds nice on tha 2^nd verse, too… My Rating: 4.2

08. “Caked Up” Feat. M.A.

>>> Not tha kids in tha background, again! What iz this “best kept secret” shit? :confused Thumbs up fa tha “puff and ride slow music,” Regal. Tha beat’s soundin’ a lil’ borin’, here and there, but it’s not too bad for a song, overall…; tha hook sounds regular, too. Let’s see M.A.—oh wait, that’s you on tha 2^nd verse? I guess I was too in-tune ta what I sayin’, and figured dat he would be on tha 2^nd verse or somethin’. Either way, good job wit your “caked up” lyrics, J. My Rating: 3.7

½time: Good CD, it seems like, although I feel more in a decent mode; 4.0 for tha CD rating, currently!

09. “Clickhouse” Feat. Redd & Pada

>>> Sounds catchy wit this “and, I’ma break it off” shit repeatin’ in tha hook, includin’ tha “clickhouse” shit. I’m likin’ tha shit you’re spittin’ in tha 1^st verse, Regal; nice job wit tha representin’… Hearin’ this 2^nd verse, and it’s okay, for a more-unknown rapper… My Rating: 3.9

10. “Psycho”

>>> An intro skit goin’ on, here… After 1:21, tha hook’s finally here, and it sounds good, except for a need of energy… If you really went “psycho” wit how your voice would sound on here, that would be awesome! But, for this, it’s okay; thought I’d hear more than one verse, but it’s cool… “Drag queen killa, I be dressed up as them hoes be;” whoa! My Rating: 3.5

11. “Holding”

>>> More short music, which sounds good. Sounds like you’re “holding” a crown or somethin’, based off your status, here; not bad… My Rating: 3.6

12. “Say My Name Right”

>>> Sounds like a catchy song; who doesn’t know how ta pronounce “Jay Regal,” right? Catchiness, includin’ some decent rhymes… My Rating: 3.7

13. “Just Waitin’” Feat. Lil’ Wubb

He dropped tha “Lil’”? Prolly not… Too bad he didn’t have a passion for me, since he only made one outgoin’ call ta me, back on July 18, 2009, when I didn’t have service? Thank God I ain’t that passionate about phone calls, anymore! >>> Must be Wubb in tha beginning; okay… Not really anything catchy comin’ outta tha hook, unfortunately; let’s see what you got ta offer on tha 2^nd verse… It’s okay; I don’t really have anything to really say about it. My Rating: 3.4

14. “Louder”

>>> Sounds okay; I don’t really have anything ta say ‘bout this one, too… Well, I’ll say that I like when it says, “louder,” lol! My Rating: 3.8

15. “Syrupee Flow”

>>> I dunno how I can handle this different style wit tha beginning beat; lemme hear what you got wit tha verses… Okay, nice “high” anthem; I’ll give it some credit… My Rating: 3.7

16. “D-Boys”

Tha 2^nd single from J.A.P.A.N.; lemme hear it… >>> Yea, this sounds catchy; betta than most of tha shit on here, so far… You know it’s catchy when you say, “D-Boys! D-Boys,” ya feel me? Yup, “got hard, got soft, got blunts;” Jay Regal, tha man!! Nice job wit tha 2^nd verse, too; good, catchy ‘single’! My Rating: 4.2

17. “Make ‘Em Mad”

>>> Damn, tha kids are in tha background, again! :td This sounds like a decent joint; what’s up wit all tha decent music? I thought you had consistent, tight music? Guess it’s time for Raw Ha Records to bring you back? My Rating: 3.6

Overall: Ehh, it was a lil’ above average, but not tha shit I was used to, back in ’09…

17.       “Just Waitin’” Feat. Lil’ Wubb 3.4

16.       “Psycho” 3.5

Reviewed on 12.26.2011 (Review #1,110)




Time ta review Stick Alley Boyz Club Hitz; Lil’ P.A. iz in tha buildin’ wit this one… Start Time: 1:22 PM | End Time: 1:36 PM

Link To CD: lil'p.a,drako,li't.c,neno,grizey,young thugga,lilrivers,junior - Stick Alley Boyz/Lil'P.A Ent.~Club Hitz~ // Free Mixtape @ DatPiff.com


01. “Jigg’n Lik A Pro (Clean)” (Lil’ Rivers, Young Thugga & Drako)
Clean? Iz tha dirty version on here? *Checks* No; shit! Where’s tha “A” in tha title? >>> What’s up wit tha baby in tha beginning? Yea, I gon put an “A” in tha title. This iz pretty good, although tha hook sounds like white rap music… Definitely 0% lyrical, here, but it goes for a jam… My Rating: 3.7


02. “Oh Dey Like These (Clean)” (Young Thugga Feat. Lil’ P.A.)
Anotha clean version? Guess it’s good for tha radio show… >>> Oh no, gayness wit tha beat tag of Lil’ P.A. in tha beginning! Why can’t that whole thing be taken out tha song? Should be considered, “fuck, shit, shit, fuck;” you know, like, cussin’! Hook sounds a lil’ cool wit tha mysterious voice, on tha 1^st ½ of it, and it still sounds good. Whoa, what’s up wit all tha “swag” shit in tha 2^nd verse? I’d be more ashamed ta talk about that than tabs; learn!! Definitely a horrible 2^nd verse; glad I’m not born in tha ‘90s! Lil’ P.A. ain’t too bad on tha 3^rd—“goose in my cup”? I think I betta end this song, right now; I don’t buy teenage drinkin’! My Rating: 3.6


03. “Sickest In The Town (Clean)” (Grizey Feat. Neno & Lil’ P.A.)
>>> No, not a different beat tag—NO BEAT TAG!!! I feel like people are hella insecure if they gotta use a beat tag to tell their person they produced it. I don’t use beat tags; why can’t people be different? Beat has cool sounds, here, but tha vibe iz so boring; where’s tha energy? My Rating: 3.5


04. “She Act’n Bad (Clean)” (Lil’ P.A. Feat. Young Thugga)
My Current Rating: 3.9


05. “Rollin’ All Week (Clean)” (Lil’ P.A. Feat. Drako & Lady Di)
My Current Rating: 4.4


½time: Wow, only a 3.8 for tha CD rating? That’s good, but not tha excitement I expected…


06. “I Gotchu (Clean)” (Drako, Neno & Junior)
>>> How sour! Junior = Lil’ Junior, or someone else? Not for me… My Rating: 2.7


07. “Let Me Rock, Let Me Roll” (Young Thugga & Lil’ P.A.)
My Current Rating: 4.0


08. “My Baby Girl” (Young Thugga Feat. Grizey & Lil’ P.A.)
>>> I don’t like this beat tag, either. Plus, why iz this beat on a soft level? There’s some okay sounds, but even if you gotta use a beat tag (uh, I wanna throw up when I say, “beat tag;” where in tha fuck did dat shit start? How? When?!), at least make sure it’s a tight one, not sour or soft… Well, hearin’ it on tha verses and it’s okay, wit a lil’ slow tip. Tha rhymes are aight, but they’re soft! My Rating: 3.2


09. “Off Da Meter” (Lil’ P.A., Young Thugga, Stick Alley Red & Joy-Joy)
My Current Rating: 4.3


10. “Swagg On Maxx” (Lady Di)
>>> Fuck-to-tha-fuck-to-tha-fuck-to-tha-fuck!!! That 1^st beat tag!!! Bad enough I had ta see dis dumb word, “swag,” in tha title; so far from my generation! No feedback; at least it ain’t a dude, though! My Rating: 1.7


11. “Throw A Stack” (Grizey, Drako & Lil’ P.A.)
>>> That fuckin’ beat tag again; why all tha insecurities? Insecurities!! Nearly every song on my iPod does not have a beat tag in it!! This ain’t that bad of a song, but what’s a “stack” ta you? Tell me tha truth! I neva had “a stack” ‘til I was in college! My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Hmm, not how I expected; only three songs were 4.0s or higher? Prolly gotta lay off tha typical, 2010s bullshit content that every single rapper talks about in every single song that comes out!


Rankings:

11. “Swagg On Maxx” 1.7
10. “I Gotchu” 2.7
09. “My Baby Girl” 3.2
08. “Sickest In The Town” 3.5
07. “Oh Dey Like These” 3.6
06. “Throw A Stack” 3.6
