Review #880: Fiend a.k.a. International Jones "Tennis Shoes & Tuxedos"

Reviewed on 3.23.2011 (Review #880)

Switchin’ it up to New Orleans, got my 2^nd review of tha day: Fiend a.k.a. International Jones “Tennis Shoes & Tuxedos”. Start Time: 10:34 AM | End Time: 10:49 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.

01. Sneakers & Tuxedos

LOL @ this equipment ta wear; there’s gotta be somethin’ interestin’ about it… >>> LOL, thought it was a song but it’s only an intro/skit. My Rating: N/A

02. “Tennis Shoes & Tuxedos”

>>> Weak beat for me but consistent rhymes; guess dat balances for a good/average song. My Rating: 3.7

03. “We What’s Happenin’” Feat. Big Krit & Smoke DZA

Wu-Tang on tha feature… >>> Anotha weak beat for me but at least tha Wu-Tang members give me a lil’ bit of anticipation… Too bad this iz long ‘cause it’s gettin’ boring… This iz okay, for East Coast, but this ain’t Louisiana. Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy… My Rating: 3.8

04. “Sweet M.ary J.ane”

>>> Weak beat, again, but tha title’s about smokin’, so I should like it. LOL @ tha “she luv to inhale it;” good line. Tha hook sounds shitty; overall, this iz not good enough fa me. My Rating: 2.3

05. “Cross The Atlantic”

>>> Again, not feelin’ tha beat; it sounds like you’re back wit tha betta rhymes, though. My Rating: 3.6

06. “Cali-Fornia”

LOL @ how tha title looks. >>> Tha beat iz only a lil’ betta, here, but I dunno if I can stay interested. Not bad, overall; lol @ how tha hook emerged outta nowhere. My Rating: 3.5

½time: Just a 3.4-rated CD fa me; what’s wit these beats? Not even one 4.0-rated song when you were consistent wit those!

07. “Paradise”

>>> I like how you sound high in tha intro. Ugh, not a good hook and even though tha beat’s not that good fa me, I like tha instrument. Kinda feelin’ tha “smoke”-type rhymes but there’s not much… My Rating: 3.1

08. “Absolutely”

>>> Beat sounds like some gay shit Lil’ Wayne would rap on…; nothin’ special, overall. Even though tha hook has good “weed” shit, I had lost full interest before it even came on. My Rating: 2.8

09. “Coupe Conversing” Feat. Trademark Da Skydiver & Corner Boy P

>>> Not a good beat, again. Only tha 3^rd verse catches my attention, a lil’. My Rating: 2.5

10. “Good-Azz Time”

>>> Wack beat, again. This sounds like a wack-produced mainstream song dat a mainstream rapper would rap on. My Rating: 1.9

11. “Luvin’ Life” Feat. Curren$y

>>> I’m really gettin’ bored wit these beats… Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy, especially wit tha “weed” part; lemme just skip ta Curren$y’s par—ooh @ tha “rub ya titties” part in tha 1^st verse. SMH, why iz this song 6.5 minutes long? :confused Curren$y sounds good, wit his part. SMH, tha remainder of tha song was silence? Gay. My Rating: 3.4

12. “James Bond Benz”

I like dis title. >>> Doesn’t sound interestin’ in tha beginning although, I’m feelin’ tha instrument, once again. LOL, Mardi Gras flava? This ain’t too bad, overall. My Rating: 3.2

13. “A Day At The Office”

>>> Ending wit a semi-wack beat… This iz short and okay/below average fa me. My Rating: 2.4

Overall: Damn, this wasn’t what I expected… Every beat was wack? :confused

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): Google


01. “Airborne Aquarium”
Time ta get inta dis! >>> Sounds like it gon be a feel-good joint. You were in “jail”? Interestin’ start to tha beginning. I’m likin’ how tha beat sounds and you’re comin’ through wit tha consistent rhymes once again! My Rating: 4.1


02. “Michael Knight”
Let’s see what you got wit dis name. >>> Good intro. Interestin’ rhymes you got here, lol. LOL, tha hook just repeats tha title? I guess you have an interestin’ twist ta things, lol. My Rating: 3.9


03. “Montreux”
>>> Tha beat sounds good here for a start; definite Southern level! Anotha good start to tha beginning of tha rappin’; you know how ta grab tha listener quickly! Not bad but this anotha one without a hook? My Rating: 3.7


04. “Famous”
>>> Interestin’, long intro you got here. Somethin’ about how you deliver this just sounds catchy. Once tha rappin’ started, it sounded pretty good ‘til you started rappin’ faster. Then, it picked up! My Rating: 4.2


05. “Flight Briefing” Feat. Young Roddy & Trademark Da Skydiver
LOL, thought I saw this title before but now, it’s a “flight”; let’s hear it—updated! >>> Tha beat’s interestin’ and you’re doin’ a pretty good job rappin’ on it. Tha hook’s interestin’ fa “flight” language/samples, lol. Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good, too; glad you have tha features on lock! Thumbs up ta tha 3rd verse, “floatin’ on a kush cloud.” My Rating: 4.1


06. “A Gee”
LOL. >>> This ain’t too bad wit tha rappin’ and tha beat’s a lil’ on tha soft side. Tha hook’s pretty catchy on how you define tha title and how it iz a part of you. My Rating: 3.6


½time: So far, it’s a 3.9-rated CD; still pretty good, though.


07. “Real Estates” Feat. Don Kennedy
>>> Not that bad on tha beat once again and your rappin’s pretty good… Kinda boring fa me but at least you keepin’ tha rhymes consistent. Tha Don dude sounds a lil’ betta/more entertainin’. My Rating: 3.5


08. “Silence” Feat. McKenzie Eddy
>>> Still tha same vibes I’m gettin’ outta tha production but this iz a lil’ betta. Tha hook sounds good wit this interestin’ lady. Interestin’ song; didn’t expect tha beginning ta be so long, lol. You’re soundin’ good wit tha rappin’, too; more interestin’ shit here. My Rating: 4.1


09. “Hold On” Feat. Young Roddy & Trademark Da Skydiver
>>> Sounds like some consistent rappin’. Tha hook’s pretty nice; really feelin’ tha “roll up” shit! Glad you brought these dudes on tha feature again; they’re doin’ a nice job. Really feelin’ tha smoke-related lyrics! My Rating: 4.3


10. “Fashionably Late”
>>> This ain’t that bad although a lil’ bit on tha mainstream tip that’s on a boring side fa me. Let’s see how tha rappin’ goes… Not bad; could’ve expected a lil’ better wit tha combination. My Rating: 3.4


11. “Highed Up”
>>> Not really tha beat I’d wanna hear on a “high”-titled song. Your rappin’ ain’t too bad, either, but again, not tha best combination of makin’ a song. Ooh, tha last 35 seconds proved a better point! Still, that took too long fa tha catchiness ta come to me! My Rating: 3.5


12. “O.G. (The Jar)” Feat. Fiend
>>> Wow, talk about a switch of production! Sounds like tha ‘90s here! Real good shit from Drupey producin’ this! I’m likin’ your 1st verse and you have a betta amount of shit ta offer! Tha hook’s definitely official! You know what it iz!! Iz it “jar” or “jam”? It says, “jar” on Wikipedia but “jam” on my info? I’ll go wit “jar” since Wikipedia’s been correct. Fiend doin’ a nice job on tha 2nd verse; good collab! This turned out ta be pretty nice fa a combo! My Rating: 4.5


13. “Michael Knight (Remix)” Feat. Raekwon
LOL, remix style here! I thought Erykah Badu was ‘pose ta be on this CD? Unless I didn’t notice her? >>> This still iz aight for a song; not bad. You still sound catchy on it. Let’s hear Raekwon’s Wu-Tang’d addition… Feelin’ how he spits this shit; it sounds pretty good. Nice job wit tha collaboration here, ya dig? My Rating: 4.0


Overall: Not as good as tha last one but you still keep me company.

01. “Example”
>>> Although a somewhat-different sound fa me, this sounds pretty good, I guess ‘cause tha quality. Sounds like a good verse; consistent rhymes here. My Rating: 3.8


02. “Audio Dope II”
You know what it iz! >>> Sounds like a pretty-good slow beat here. I’m likin’ dis… Sounds pretty good wit how you’re comin’ through on this slow beat! My Rating: 4.1


03. “King Kong”
>>> Ooh, here comes tha hot production again!! Ski Beatz doin’ all tha beats, I see, lol? Good shit! Feelin’ what you got here; “King Kong” sound at times, lol! I like tha hook; “King Kong ain’t got shit on me;” you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Seat Change” Feat. Snoop Dogg
A bigger feature here; let’s see what’s up wit it. >>> Interestin’ about a gurl losin’ “her seat,” lol! Tha beat ain’t too bad but it sounds like your rhymes overshadow it. LOL @ Snoop; he doin’ a nice job wit tha flow, lol! My Rating: 4.2


05. “Breakfast”
Mmm, lol; will it be better than tha “Lunch” song from before? >>> I dunno about better; tha beat start sounds pretty good wit tha instruments used in it. Feelin’ tha shit you spittin’ here ‘cause of tha consistent flow; you know how ta capture peoples’ attention! My Rating: 4.1


06. “Roasted” Feat. Trademark & Young Roddy
>>> Sounds like a calm-soundin’ beat. I like tha rhymes…; good job wit tha collaboration. Tha hook ain’t too ba—ooh, “high off dis purple shit;” you know what it iz! Yay, you comin’ through wit some tight “shit,” lol! Feelin’ your attitude as well as what you’re bringin’ ta dis track. Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ good, too; once again, all y’all a team! My Rating: 4.3


½time: Ooh, 4.2 on tha CD rating, right now; you’re slowly continuin’ ta move up!!


07. “Skybourne” Feat. Smoke DZA & Big K.R.I.T.
Ooh, a lil’ bit of Wu-Tang here; how will dis go? I know it’ll be good! >>> Usually, dis izn’t tha kind of mainstream music I really like but for some reason, I’m likin’ it now… I like your “aquarium” shit; interestin’ rhymes once again! Tha 2nd verse sounds decent; not too bad… Tha 3rd verse iz much betta; tight flow and consistent shit goin’ on! My Rating: 3.9


08. “The Hangover” Feat. Mikey Rocks
Interestin’ title/topic. >>> Tha beat ain’t too bad but I’m likin’ dis hook/topic; good shit. Sounds like there’s a lil’ bit of extra BPM here and there wit tha beat; good shit… Tha dude from The Cool Kids (Mikey Rocks) iz on tha 2nd verse, helpin’ you out here. I like his “tropics” shit; I wish for good weather and not this 0 – 20-degree shit! Damn, what character this dude has on this track, lol! I like tha smokin’ part but lol @ tha “piss” part! My Rating: 4.2


09. “The Day” Feat. Mos Def & Jay Electronica
>>> For some reason, I ain’t mindin’ this non-Louisiana-soundin’ music. This has a pretty-good undaground sound to it and tha collaboration looks serious. I really like what you spittin’ here; definitely some interestin’ shit! Very interestin’, lol! Sounds like Mos Def comin’ outta nowhere here, doin’ a nice job wit tha “out-on-tha-field” rhymes! What a hook, lol! Switchin’ up ta Jay E on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ good, too. My Rating: 4.2


10. “Prioritize” Feat. Nesby Phips
>>> This ain’t bad as far as tha beat but you got tha rhymes on lock once again! Good job recruitin’ Nesby for tha feature ‘cause he doin’ a nice job, too! My Rating: 4.0


11. “Chilled Coughphee” Feat. Devin The Dude
Not sure if it’s a stupid question but what’s “coughee”? >>> Oh, “coughphee” (a “PH” was missin’ in tha ID on my iTunes info), lol! Once Devin came through on tha 1st verse, this definitely became some pure quality!! Really felt how he came through wit tha drug-related, feel-good-type shit, lol! You’re doin’ a not-so-bad job on here, $y. I think Devin took tha show, though, lol. My Rating: 4.3


12. “Address” Feat. Stalley
Looks like it gon be a jail-related song. >>> Very consistent wit tha rhymes once again!! You neva know what Curren$y gon spit, lol! “Ain’t nothin’ change but tha address;” catchy hook. Stalley almost sounds like a younger-Jae Millz on tha 2nd verse, doin’ a nice job wit tha spittin’, too. My Rating: 4.3


13. “Life Under The Scope”
>>> Beat start’s pretty good and what a great way ta start tha 1st verse: “my weed lit.” Good shit here; feelin’ your rhymes once again! You know how ta set tha topic straight! Tha hook’s pretty good, too; real shit! My Rating: 4.1

Link To CD: N/A


01. “Bad Side”
>>> Wow, what a while ago. A couple times this year, I was like, “what was that Juelz Santana & Lil’ Wayne song called from ’07?” I honestly couldn’t remember it for tha longest time. Then, it just came to me. Considered “yucky memories” for me, let’s see how you do on it… Sounds like you’re really handlin’ tha beat to tha fullest! Your name appeared on a few CDs earlier this year, doin’ tha damn thang… What a high surround in tha quality; so much shit goin’ on, lol. My Rating: 4.3


02. “Big Dreamz”
>>> What’s wit tha ‘07ish songs? Very horrible memories for me—in public! Luckily, public before Louisiana so, it’s like, 1% during tha Louisiana times so it didn’t affect my Louisiana popularity! Consistent rappin’ once again; thumbs up! My Rating: 4.2


03. “N Dey Be Like”
>>> Betta ’08 times but a gay beat I’m sick of seein’ on so many mixtapes (still?)! Somewhat good ‘til tha “swag” shit came in tha hook. Good flow, though… My Rating: 3.6


04. “Gossip”
Ugh… >>> You sound good on it but everytime I hear this beat, my interest iz so far away. Glad you’re consistent wit what you’re tryin’ ta say. My Rating: 3.7


05. “Fuck ‘Em”
>>> Thought it was “The Boss” for a second; would’ve puked. Interestin’ wit tha perspective you took here, lol; your hook iz hilarious. My Rating: 3.8


06. “Peace Of Mind”
>>> Kinda weird wit tha start… Your rappin’ goes good wit this weird sample and somewhat-good-soundin’ beat. My Rating: 3.9


07. “Let Da Blunt Burn”
>>> Damn, you went almost three minutes longer wit a gay beat like dis? It’s like, if it’s somewhat hard to connect tha words you’re sayin’, ‘cause of tha annoyin’-ass beat/background, then, there’s really no luck. I like how you have a title like dis but no, not on some annoyin’ shit like dis. I feel like my passion for hearin’ ‘bout smokin’ iz on another genre or somethin’, smh. So, we got bad length, bad beat, and a hard time tryin’ to connect what you’re sayin’ ‘cause of tha annoyin’ background; not good. My Rating: 2.9


08. “Stupid” Feat. Deelow
>>> Damn, another 4.5-minute length? LOL, how funny that we just jumped to 2010 wit this beat. However, my interest iz kinda low fa this one…; it reminds me of tha “Do Dat Dere” one. Tha hook iz good but where are tha original beats? Betta yet, tha Vybe/internet ones, at least? My Rating: 3.3


09. “Beatin’ Hard”
>>> Uh oh, video game time… Tha rappin’s not bad here. Tha hook sounds pretty nice; havin’ shit on lock here… My Rating: 3.7


½time: 3.7 for tha CD rating so far; not bad…


10. “Killin’ ‘Em” Feat. Succeed
>>> Sounds a lil’ like Curren$y… Lots of rappin’ that makes it sound like a decent, mainstream mixtape song. LOL, a feature toward tha end? Cool… My Rating: 3.8


11. “Why They Had Ta Do ‘Em Like Dat” Feat. Fiend
>>> Sounds like smokin’ in tha beginning but at tha same time, it almost reminds me of tears. SMFH: my “The Boss” comment reflected back at me, lol… Sounds like a jail anthem; pretty good but once again, somewhat-low focus due to tha beat. Even though ’08, which was good times at times, this beat caused controversy to me a few times, resulting in some of those good times to never repeat due to tha dumb-ass people involved. Tha hook sounds good wit tha deep-voice dude… I like how it describes a stereotype (e.g., “they saw his chain”); good job right there. My Rating: 4.0


12. “Ride N Smoke” Feat. Curren$y
A great title and a better length for it: under three minutes! >>> Oh no, tha Curren$y comment now reflected at me, lol; what’s goin’ on here? This sounds much betta from my previous reflection. Wait… why am I sittin’ here listenin’ to non-original rhymes? Why tha inserted verse/hook? Luckily, it’s not annoyin’ or anything; it’s weird. With only 1:07 left, you’re finally here. I made a song like dis called “Tha Smoke Mine” where you can invision ridin’ and smokin’ while drivin’ underground; definitely nice! You did a pretty good job here wit what you spit. But, I must deduct for Curren$y’s additions, especially since he was on tha song more than you. My Rating: 4.3
EDIT: Iz this “featuring Curren$y” or jacked Curren$y? I’m gonna leave my rating tha same. Oh wait, my bad. I see there’s another “featuring Curren$y” song so I’ll reimburse you a ½ point.


13. “I Can Hear”
>>> Thought I heard “Asthma” in tha beginning, lol. Sounds pretty good wit a short length once again. Good rappin’ but you gotta watch tha jackin’; you sound like tha typical Waynes and Drakes that are out there that makes me ‘lol’ on tha outside! My Rating: 3.5


14. “Get Busy”
>>> Please, no “swag” shit; don’t need to hear it from a Louisiana rapper! I abolished frequent use of tha word on my radio show ‘cause of its mainstream appeal/use! Tha hook sounds pretty nice… Then again, it’s kinda typical; “I can hear” this kinda shit from anyone else so there’s nothin’ special… Tha last verse sounded pretty good wit how you rhymed certain words. My Rating: 3.6


15. “Goin’ Get Da Paper (Remix)” Feat. Curren$y & Trademark Da Skydiver
>>> Sounds like a cartoon in tha beginning. This sounds aight… Why does this qualify for tha extra minute vs. tha previous songs? Sounds like Curren$y again ‘round tha 2:00 mark… Tha hook’s somewhat catchy, too. My Rating: 3.6


16. “Tennis Shoe Junkie”
I dunno why but tha file iz messed up; 0 bytes and doesn’t work. My Rating: N/A


17. “Spotlight” Feat. Fiend
>>> Sounds like you doin’ a NICE job wit dis one!! Tha attitude’s real nice and tha hook’s cool; tha attitude REALLY makes this on ‘n’ poppin’ right now! Damn, why iz this long? Some of these songs would’ve been betta if they were a lil’ shorter ‘cause it just seems, like, forever wit some of these jointz. My Rating: 4.2


18. “Smoke Out”
Not listed on tha back cover? Neither iz #19… Good length and anotha “smoke” song, lol. >>> WTH? I believe this beat was on tha previous review I did, which was for The Show. I like tha whole “smoke” topic but it sounds boring wit this beat, there’s not much wit tha flow, and tha excitement combo of tha beat/flow iz not happenin’ for me. My Rating: 3.6


19. “Digital Scale”
>>> What a way to end wit a shitty beat. I remember when I first heard it, I was like, “screwed-and-chopped iz back?” But no, just pure gayness for tha current generation, smh! I actually dislike that it’s so slow, too, which makes 3:59 seem like forever right now… Tha hook’s good and all but once again, just like tha last song, there’s a lack of excitement wit tha track. I could see if you picked a better beat; somethin’ dat would catch my attention in a major way! Sounded like someone else was featured on this, too… My Rating: 3.7


Overall: Not too bad for a jacked-beat CD. I think you did better than The Show by a touch. I expected a lil’ betta—more original from you. Hope I hear some original shit soon, as you are cool wit Fiend and my boy J.Hu$tle!
