My
1,846th review: DJ Mouche II
Presents Unfadable Records Money Makes
The World Go Round, released in 1999 on Unfadable Records! Anotha comp!
Start Time: 11:41 AM | End Time: 12:53 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 sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your
vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider ‘typical’ topics),
I’m not buyin’ it!

01.
“Call ‘Em Like I See Them”
>>> Sounds like a semi-laidback“Call ‘Em Like I See Them” beat, here…;
hook ain’t too bad, as well… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds
like an okay song fa tha hood… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here,
soundin’ decent; only one verse left… Sounds like a real-life verse on tha 3rd
verse, here; not too bad, overall… My
Rating: 3.5
02.
“Money Makes The World Go Round”
>>> Okay, this sounds more hype and gutta; feelin’ tha hook and beat!
Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty dope, here; definitely nice
wit tha delivery, too! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, here;
great aggression! Gotta feel tha 3rd verse, as well; definitely
feelin’ what y’all got! Just luvin’ dat beat: spooky! My Rating: 4.7
03.
“Getting Paid”
>>> Good lil’ intro, here… Feelin’ this N’awlinz-type street beat, here;
definitely dope! Tha hook’s pretty nice, too; I’m feelin’ what y’all got goin’
on, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice ta hear, as
well… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ dope fa tha
streetz, of course; definitely nice…! “We all gettin’ paid;” should be tha
objective fa err-body helpin’ out err-body, not just theyselves! Hearin’
tha 3rd verse and it sounds okay; almost sounds like a different
breed of Master P… My Rating: 4.2
04.
“Slow Down”
>>> A slowed-“down” vibe
from tha previous tracks… Y’all seem to be obsessed wit “tha money,” huh? I’ono
about hearin’ so many “money” tracks, back ta back… This sounds like a nice,
smooth vibe, on tha hook, courtesy of tha female singin’… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and tha flow sounds good; ehh, not too bad, so far… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and it sounds good fa tha streetz, here; betta than tha 1st
verse, fa me… Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’ like it’s a
lil’ upbeat… Overall, I’ono if I can love this but tha ‘90s vibe kinda makes
this betta than average… My Rating: 3.7
05.
“Give It To Me”
>>> Beat’s pretty dope, so far; wonder what vibe this’ll be…? Long
singin’ part from this female, here; not too bad… Verse 1 starts at 1:05,
soundin’ good on this beat… Hearin’ tha female sing again, soundin’ okay on tha
hook, here… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ pretty nice, here; feelin’ tha
energy applied to tha delivery… This song had more singin’ than bars spit;
weird… My Rating: 3.6
06.
“Sex Is On My Mind”
>>> More R&B singin’, here, tho from a male, this time… I’ono, not
really feelin’ this; too slow fa me… Damn, this song’s 5:06! Wow, at 2:56, a
rap verse hits, outta nowhere? Sounds good but took way too long! I lost interest by tha time tha rappin’ came… My Rating: 2.3
07.
“Grindin’”
>>> Beat sounds like a nice, “country rap tune,” as Pimp C would say…
Sounds like a nice-soundin’ 1st verse; feelin’ what y’all got on
this track, so far… Got tha hook, here & it sounds nice ta hear; sounds
like a background, phone-call quality, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse
and it’s pretty good…; I feel it… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it ain’t
too bad, here… A lil’ long of a track, I would say? Not as catchy as a track
5:47 should be… My Rating: 3.8
08.
“Things Ain’t What They Seem”
>>> An okay beat/female in tha background, vocalizin’… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it sounds like y’all got some aggression/energy in y’all flow, this
time; nice… Hearin’ tha chick on tha hook and she sounds pretty good;
nicely-delivered, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it ain’t too bad,
here; decent-soundin’ shit fa tha hood… Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on,
here & it’s pretty aggressive; nice job…! My Rating: 3.9
½time: This compilation seems to
have its mix of slow tracks, aggressive tracks & more… Only a 3.7-rated
CD, so far but with a 4.7-rated track, it seems like I’d give this more of a
plus than a minus… Keep up tha great work wit tha N’awlinz-soundin’
productions, aggressive rhymes & energetic flows…!
09.
“Business Is Never Business”
>>> Feelin’ tha energy & darkness in this beat, here; good shit!
Tha hook’s to tha point, where “Business Is Never Business;” nice! Hearin’ tha
1st verse and tha dude sounds dope; feelin’ his energy! Hearin’ tha
2nd part of tha 1st verse and tha chick sounds consistent
wit her rhymes; nice…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and I’m feelin’ these
“Calliope” rhymes; good shit! Tha 2nd dude on tha 2nd
verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear; all about “dat UPT!” My Rating: 4.3
10.
“Only The Strong Survive”
>>> Sounds good, here; feelin’ tha energy in tha beat, as well as tha
flow on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like a good
lil’ undaground track… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’
pretty nice; what else can be left, here…? An outro, dedicated ta tha
“fake-asses;” gotta attack ‘em! My
Rating: 3.8
11.
“Who Can I Trust”
>>> Beat’s pretty upbeat, here; feelin’ it… Hearin’ tha hook and it
sounds nice ta hear, here… Good lil’ 1st verse goin’ on, here, from
tha 1st dude… Now, on to tha 2nd dude on tha 1st
verse, soundin’ great ta hear… Tha 1st dude on tha 2nd
verse sounds pretty good, here… Hearin’ tha dude on tha 2nd part of
tha 2nd verse, soundin’ pretty nice, as well; can’t deny it, at
times… My Rating: 4.0
12.
“Buck If You A Ridah”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like
somethin’ fa Halloween? Just that sounds, as well as tha aggression in tha
beginning… Hearin’ tha 1st verse at :43 and I’m feelin’ tha fast
rappin’! “Dat spirit might hitcha;” yeah! Likin’ tha “shmoke-a-weed” part,
toward tha end! My Rating: 4.1
13.
“This Is How We Do It”
Producer:
DJ Mouche
>>> A shout out ta “DJ Mouche,” here, as well as him bein’ on tha
beat; nice…! Sounds like a nice lil’ intro, here; reminds me of a west coast
vocal vibe? Nice lil’ hook; y’all feelin’ like y’all in a good state of mind,
here? Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it ain’t bad, here; cool lil’
NOLA-soundin’ flow… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’
pretty nice; diggin’ tha flow, once again… Seems like this joint neva ends…? My Rating: 3.9
14.
“Ya Best Believe It”
>>> Beat’s pretty nice and fast, fa a bounce beat; good start…!
Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like some classic-soundin’ bounce music, here;
definitely nice…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice wit
how y’all handle dat “lotion!” Tha rest of this pretty nice; just non-stop
verses ova a long bounce beat… My
Rating: 4.1
15.
“Set It On Fire”
>>> Sounds like anotha nice bounce vibe, here; good shit…! Feelin’ tha
hook and tha energy y’all bringin’ to tha 1st verse, of course… Nothin’
else ta really say ‘bout dis; it knows what it iz…! My Rating: 4.2
16.
“The Hot Spot”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ beat, as well as what y’all got goin’ on,
durin’ tha 1st verse… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice; all
about “The Hot Spot!” Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, soundin’
pretty nice, too… Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ good, as well; can’t say
much else… My Rating: 4.1
Overall: Started gettin’ betta
toward tha 2nd ½, thanx to tha bounce vibes… Turned out ta be a nice
