Reviewed on 3.29.2011 (Review #922)




Gettin’ closer… This next review iz Deezy On Da Beat “All Da Way 100! Monroe in tha buildin’!! Start Time: 8:39 PM | End Time: 9:09 PM



Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit my ratings!! I don’t care how lyrical you are! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much REALLY LOVE it as it’s considered “mindblowin’” when I hear it. 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. “All Da Way 100 (Intro)”
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ ya new shit!! >>> Good beat and hook, too. LOL, interestin’ perspective you got, here; sounds like you’re like everyone else, lol? My Rating: 3.8


02. “Killin’ Dese Niggas” Feat. Big Tron
>>> Sounds nice for a production by you; keep “dese” jointz comin’! Tha hook sounds good and lol, where does this “we-can-take-it-to-dat-level” perspective come from throughout your rappin’? Big Tron sounds good ta have on tha 2nd verse; nice collaboration, Monroe style! My Rating: 4.1


03. “Stupid, Retawded”
>>> These beats are gettin’ more and more anticipatin’! Even though this joint’s pretty-short, it’s catchy wit tha club vibe. LOL, again, where do these typical perspectives come from wit you? It sounds funny, in a way. My Rating: 4.0


04. “Oh Yea”
LOL @ tha short title. >>> Again, anotha improvement wit tha beat! I like tha hook; those “that’s wassup” parts in tha hook are hella catchy, lol! Tha rappin’ sounds catchy on dis wit tha “oh yea” parts, kinda familiar-soundin’, too; thumbs up fa your catchiness! My Rating: 4.2


05. “Get Like Me”
>>> Tha beat sounds like somethin’ Mannie Fresh would produce; nice, Louisiana-soundin’ song fa tha undaground, here, wit a mainstream twist. LOL @ your cockiness, here; funny and catchy, at tha same time! My Rating: 3.9


06. “Drop It Low” Feat. Lil’ Joe
Lookin’ forward ta anotha feature! >>> Damn, I knew I heard this before; damn @ my 3.1 original rating! I think this should be higher, especially since I know there’s a feature on here! My Current Rating: 3.7


07. “I Be Goin’ Duffy” Feat. Big Tron
Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis! >>> ROFL, what made you “drink”? Like, how and where? Do you remember date and time when you 1st did? Good hook; good lil’ clubbish song… Shit, even addin’ Big Tron wit tha “rollin’”-type shit sounds nice on this, too! My Rating: 4.3


08. “Ratchet Hoes” Feat. Yung C
>>> Decent song, overall; both verses sound equally tight, even though I’m slowly startin’ ta put Yung C’s over yours, lol. My Rating: 3.6


09. “Get Out Da Way” Feat. Mikey T
Anotha collab! >>> ROFL, more “drink” shit in tha hook? LOL, like, how do you put yourself in these situations? It’s funny, in a way, ‘cause, doesn’t it take guts? Ethical thoughts, too? Afraid of anti-typical? Good-soundin’ song, although you sound a lil’ cocky, once again. Mikey sounds pretty-good fa a feature on tha 2nd verse; thumbs up fa tha collabs, once again! My Rating: 4.2


½time: Nice job wit dis CD; definitely has ta be somethin’ consistent—tha most consistent fa you! A 4.0-rated CD, currently!


10. “Throw It Back (Do It)” Feat. Yung $tanlo & Lil’ Fred
Tight collaboration; lemme hear it!! >>> A lil’ typical-soundin’ wit how you say tha title but it’s definitely a nice joint, overall! LOL @ $tanlo on tha 2nd verse; he always remains mysterious wit how he sounds ‘cause for tha most part, when he’s on songs, there’s always a bunch of people dat I’m not familiar wit on tha song wit him, lol. Lil’ Fred tagged me in a post today about playin’ him on tha radio; ‘preciate dat random tag! I know most people don’t know how ta think like dat! He had an aight verse fa dis joint but it’s good ta, just, hear people! My Rating: 4.3


11. “Workout”
>>> Hot song; glad tha beat’s a lil’ faster! Nice job wit tha simple-but-good hook and some cocky rappin’, too; thumbs up… My Rating: 4.1


12. “Crown Vic Muzik” Feat. Yung C, Marcus Bad Azz & Best Boi
Not sure what’s what in tha ID but this looks like it gon be pretty tight… >>> Damn, someone sayin’, “I love you, boi,” in tha beginning ta a male? Somewhat-hard ta hear dat (not in a sexual way; in a way) and I appreciate when people say dat ta me ‘cause it destroys stereotypes! Anyway, this iz interestin’, representation style! Nice job wit tha features and contributions, here! My Rating: 4.2


13. “Don’t Stunt On Me” (Yung $tanlo Feat. Yung C & Deezy On Da Beat)
Wasn’t there Lil’ Dell on this, too? Left him outta tha ID? My Current Rating: 4.7


14. “Here I Go (In Dis Bii)” Feat. Yung C
>>> Damn, anotha song based off tha Mystikal song? How many I gon hear? This sounds refreshin’ wit tha Monroe/318 production, though! Nice job wit this shit; rofl, “fulla dat liquor,” again, lol? Definitely a cocky song of yours, once again, on a lil’ funny-but-tight tip! Yung C sounds good ta rap wit on here; thumbs up fa tha collab, again! My Rating: 4.0


15. “To My Hataz” Feat. Murda
Yea, anotha feature! >>> ROFL, even wit tha beat tag always bein’ in tha beginning; you think you gon die, or somethin’, without it, lol? Anyway, nice lil’ song “to (tha) hataz,” here; thumbs up on tha beat and tight hook!! Tha rappin’ iz definitely nice, too; gotta feel dis gangsta shit! Ooh, Murda sounds like a good, Southern dude wit how he comes through fa you, here; good collab! My Rating: 4.4


16. “In My Zone” Feat. Yung Reed
Thumbs up fa Yung Reed bein’ on here; how ‘bout Rodnae? Where he at, even though I don’t wanna hear him A-Tune his ass off? Would rather hear him talk or do an intro/outro… >>> Sounds hot, once again; gotta feel tha catchy-ass hook!! Thumbs up fa hirin’ Yung Reed fa tha collaboration; sounds like he luvs tha South, Louisiana, and tha 318!! SMH @ quotin’ Drake… LOL, you have “Polo on (your) body”? Damn, that’s what’s up; when and where’d you first discover “Polo” and all dat? What made you luv it? Good verse, ya dig? You always represent great wit how you plan yourself! My Rating: 4.3


17. “What Must I Say”
Title looks like a typical title… >>> Intro doesn’t say much although I’m somewhat likin’ this beat… Damn, I was right; tha hook really ruined it wit this cliché, typical sample! My Rating: 2.8


18. “’Cause I’m Grinding” Feat. Lil’ Dell & Best Boi
Good thing Lil’ Dell’s actually here! Let’s see what you got fa an ending song… >>> I’m startin’ ta hate dat word “real” ‘cause when people overuse it, they’re not “real;” I like usin’ tha word ‘official’; it sounds betta and not stereotypical! Anyway, good job wit tha hook, which sounds “real,” lol. Tha 1st verse from Dell’s definitely nice; glad he hopped onta this joint! Tha 2nd verse sounds good, too; y’all do a nice job together, ya feel me? Tha 3rd verse iz all about “(stayin’) focused;” co-sign dat! People that take away other peoples’ lives, as mentioned in different text throughout tha 3rd verse, iz extremely homosexual! It’s like, how much do they luv other dudes to where they gotta approach them? Weird…, weird…, weird!! My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Of course, tightness, here!! Tha whole entire CD—minus #17—was consistent; nothin’ but tight-ass jamz, here!!! Much betta than your two previous CDs I reviewed of yours! Keep up tha great work; Soufmade Entertainment/Banx Entertainment!

01. “Get Money” Feat. Top Billion & J Boogie
>>> Sounds okay. My Rating: 3.2


02. “Bad Bitch” Feat. Lil’ Dell & Young C
What’s “Th.” on tha back cover mean? >>> I’m likin’ how dis sounds! Good beat, catchy hook, and it sounds like dis an anthem! Glad you got Dell on tha 2nd verse; good shit—Monroe in tha buildin’!! Young C’s a plus, too; you know what it iz! My Rating: 4.1


03. “Do It Well” Feat. D-Freezie & Lil’ Stanlo
LOL, iz Lil’ Stanlo Yung $tanlo? >>> This iz decent but I have a feelin’ it’ll be somethin’ that I’ll lose interest in. Not bad on tha features, too; Lil’ Stanlo iz a different dude, I assume. My Rating: 3.6


04. “Don’t Stunt On Me” Feat. Yung $tanlo & Young C
LOL, no Lil’ Dell on tha feature? Regardless of anything, this iz still a good song produced by you! Reviewed it in tha past and you know it goes hard! My Current Rating: 4.7


05. “Out My Mind”
>>> Pretty-good for just you on tha song and you producin’, too. Kinda simple, too, but this iz definitely somethin’ catchy to listen to! My Rating: 3.9


06. “Get It Up There” Feat. Lil’ Dell & Young C
Now, Lil’ Dell’s on tha feature. >>> I dunno—I don’t get—see tha need for a remake of Young Ready’s song? LOL, there’s plenty fish in tha sea from a longer time ago! Tha features just give me interest; faget tha hook… My Rating: 3.7


07. “Get Ratchet Wit It” Feat. Best Boi, Lil’ Dell & Young C
You mean “Beast Boi”? >>> Sounds pretty hot wit tha beat, here, and good for a club song. Thought this was tha same “Ratchet” song from tha last CD but this iz definitely betta! I guess he iz “Best Boi,” lol. Sounds good ta where you don’t need ta worry what tha lyrics sound like, ya dig? Shout out ta Lil’ Dell & Young C, too; good shit, ya dig?!? My Rating: 4.4


08. “I Got That” Feat. Lil’ Dell & Young C
>>> Anotha song that sounds like it was simple to make but hot at tha same time! You’re keepin’ tha beats consistent, too! Thumbs up, once again, to D & C on tha feature! My Rating: 4.2


09. “I’m Jigged Out” Feat. Lil’ Dell & Best Boi
Shit yea!!! >>> Not much to say ‘cept dat it sounds consistent, once again! My Rating: 4.1


10. “Check Out How I’m Rockin’ (Remix)”
>>> Even though I heard tha original version, previously, this sounds like more jacked, BR-type shit (e.g., Kevin Gates “Get In There”). Kinda takin’ a shot at my interest, but whateva… My Rating: 3.6


½time: A 4.0-rated CD, so far; good shit!


11. “Jigg Step Pt. 2” Feat. Ren Ren, Best Boi & Young C
LOL, no room ta put “Young” in C’s name on tha back cover? >>> Good check-ins in tha beginning. This iz decent fa me; jammin’, regardless of whateva. My Rating: 3.4


12. “Get In There”
>>> What’s up wit obsessin’ this “get in there” shit? Decent; I think I like it a lil’ betta than tha remix I just heard where you were sayin’, “get in there,” too. My Rating: 3.7


13. “Got It Like That”
>>> Didn’t even sound like tha beat changed; nice consistency! Tha content’s not really tha kinda shit I’d really like, though. My Rating: 3.3


14. “Shit Gettin’ Real”
>>> Still feelin’ tha consistent blend between tha tracks/beats! Not bad, here; you got shit on lock wit tha content, this time! My Rating: 4.0


15. “Rude Girl”
>>> Outta nowhere, a “Rude Boy” rendition? Kinda throwin’ me off, here… My Rating: 2.5


16. “Nasty Song”
Iz this tha same “song” as “Nasty But Classy” from tha last mixtape? >>> Actually, it’s not; not bad although I’m not feelin’ your “ba-by”, Wayne-jacked thing in tha beginning. My Rating: 3.1


17. “Let Me Get ‘Em Pt. 2”
>>> Sounds like an lol; I don’t know what ta say… My Rating: 3.5


18. “Independent Bitches”
LOL, tha features, just, disappeared outta nowhere; how random! >>> I dunno if I see anything special ‘bout dis. My Rating: 2.6


19. “Max Out”
>>> I think you need tha features again; these songs need more entertainment and tha features would help! Good but not enough interest fa me, solo. SMH @ tha 5.75-minute length, too. My Rating: 3.4


20. “Slowed Down”
>>> A lil’ slow on tha flow and on a decent level; still think you need tha features! My Rating: 3.6


Overall: Ehh, not bad; I still enjoy what you puttin’ out, though.

Link To CD: N/A


01. “Intro” Feat. Deezy On Da Beat
LOL, looks like a producer on tha feature, lol? Let’s see what we gon start wit… >>> Tha beat intro sounds pretty good… Sounds good wit some gangsta shit in tha beginning of tha verse; feelin’ your flow here!! Tha hook sounds cool wit Deezy on tha hook, lol! My Rating: 4.3


02. “Hitlist” Feat. Rodnae Da Boss
Anotha producer on tha feature, lol! Let’s see what gon come outta dis… >>> Wow, HOT beat on tha hook and tha hook’s addictin’ as fuck wit how it sounds!! Startin’ off tha 1st verse wit some gangsta shit; DEFINITELY feelin’ dis!! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ pretty good too as it’s flowin’ GR8 on this addictin’ beat!! I believe Rodnae did tha beat too based off his tag bein’ on tha outro! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Super Foolish” Feat. Yung Reed
A collaboration together here? How will it sound? >>> Mo hot production and anotha hook ta remember in tha future; good shit!! “I free her like she Willy;” lol @ dat line… it sounded good! Nice job on tha catchy 1st verse, ya dig! Let’s see what we got fa tha 2nd verse… Catchy start wit tha flow here! Nice job wit tha verse overall, ya dig! Tha 3rd verse has like a Max Minelli-type flow and it’s soundin’ pretty catchy!! My Rating: 4.2


04. “Stuntin’”
LOL, ya gotta do tha damn thang on ya own this time, lol! >>> Tha beat sounds cool for a start; good intro too… Ahh, tha hook came outta nowhere and sounds like T-Pain on that Jesse McCartney “Body Language” remix; weird at first but it’s pretty catchy… Tha 1st verse’s pretty good fa this kinda song; sounds like this could be a mainstream song or somethin’… Not bad on tha 2nd verse too… My Rating: 4.0


05. “Look How I Feel” Feat. Young Salo & Rodnae Da Boss
Glad you fux wit Rodnae tough, ya dig! I KNOW I gon “feel” dis joint!! >>> Tha beat’s DEFINITELY cool and sounds like it’s gettin’ betta!! Tha hook sounds like it goes hard as hell!! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good on this; I KNOW tha rest of this joint gon be consistent too, ya heard me!! Tha 2nd verse sounds gr8 too wit dis shit; nice job on tha collaboration!! Tha 3rd verse’s keepin’ thangz company too wit its quality! My Rating: 4.4


06. “Relax” Feat. Rodnae Da Boss
I dunno how much I might anticipate dis… >>> Beat’s a lil’ unanticipatin’ so let’s see… Ahh, a lil’ R&Bish on tha 1st verse here… It got a lil’ betta towards tha end wit tha rappin’ but what tha hell wit tha high-ass quality on tha hook? Tha 2nd verse’s a lil’ betta but that hook just gets me wit tha huge surround! My Rating: 3.5


07. “I’m In Dis Biiii!!!!” (Soufmade Click)
LMAO, look at dis title!! DEFINITELY gon look forward ta dis and hearin’ tha Soufmade Click!! >>> “Rodnae made tha beat?” Did I hear dat correctly? Anyway, scary A-Tune intro; hope this don’t sound wack… LOL @ tha dude on tha 1st ½ of tha 1st verse “in tha mirror” like Mouse; good soundin’ on tha 1st ½ of tha verse! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse’s pretty good too wit tha attitude! Tha hook can become catchy if tha rest of tha song doesn’t apply to havin’ A-Tune on it! LOL @ “cleanin’ yourself” wit different bills on tha 2nd verse! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse sounds like Unk, lol? Pretty good though… Tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ like it’s off to a nice, Southern start wit how it sounds! Tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse sounds good too; gr8 job as a team, y’all!! My Rating: 4.3


08. “Stunt On Me” Feat. Deezy On Da Beat, Young C & Lil’ Dell
Like tha collab here; let’s see what’s good wit dis one!! >>> Iz it Deezy who did tha beat? Anyway, sounds like this jacked “Watch My Shoes” a whole lot wit tha beat and tha hook; I’m cool wit it though ‘cause it sounds real tight! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty tight here on tha beat; DEFINITELY a plus!! Sounds like someone hopped onto tha last ¼ of tha verse; props, Young C! Tha 2nd verse’s DEFINITELY jammin’ throughout tha whole verse on this beat!! Good-ass shit here to tha fullest!! Tha 1st ½ of tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ pretty gangsta on this shit; “smokin’ on” dat good shit!! Now, Lil’ Dell’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, just REALLY keepin’ thangz consistent to tha fullest!!! My Rating: 4.7


09. “I’mma Dawg” Feat. Fat Rat
A song from Fat Rat? Or, iz dat a part of tha title? >>> Glad ta have Rodnae on this beat too! I think it’s featurin’ Fat Rat; might’ve been an error? Tha hook sounds pretty tight wit tha both of y’all!! Sounds good on tha 1st verse wit tha jammin’ flow here… Damn, dat dude Fat Rat’s REALLY official here for tha streetz!! Luvin’ what he spittin’ on tha 2nd verse as well as how he deliverin’ it!!! You’re on tha 3rd verse here and you’re doin’ tha damn thang wit your catchy flow!! Shit, yea, Fat Rat’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse and he DEFINITELY a “big dawg” just REALLY spittin’ dat consistent-ass shit!! Fuck wit me, my boy!! My Rating: 4.6


10. “I Know U Like Dat” Feat. Damar Jackson
>>> Unanticipated start wit tha featured dude soundin’ gay like Chris Brown in tha beginning… Tha hook sounds good wit you but I’m not into tha feature at all; end tha hook, please!! Tha 1st verse iz just okay; nothin’ to comment… Tha 2nd verse iz tha gay-soundin’ feature and I won’t even go there… You’re back on tha 3rd verse and although this feels long, at least this iz only 3:37…; glad you’re at least rappin’. My Rating: 2.4


11. “Baby Bop” Feat. J Bzzy
Not likin’ this title… >>> “Rodnae” again on tha beat, lol? Tha beat’s somewhat cool… Sounds like tha hook’s kinda cool but a lil’ on tha “baby” tip… You did a not-so-bad job on tha 1st verse. Bzzy’s on tha 2nd verse and he sounds like Ceddybu a lil’ bit on tha vocals… Not that bad; it’s kinda catchy but not really for my age… My Rating: 3.6


½time: So far, it sounds like you doin’ a NICE job here wit tha REAL GR8 production and tha GR8 features, ya dig!! MAJOR thumbs up ta Fat Rat and yourself fa holdin’ it down!! Tha average CD rating’s at 4.0 right now; dumb shit!!


12. “Fly” Feat. Yung Reed
Let’s keep thangz goin’!! >>> DEFINITELY feelin’ tha beat here and tha 1st verse’s soundin’ hot; doin’ tha damn thang to tha fullest!! Damn, tha beat sounds TIGHT wit that “fly as a ma’fucka” sample; good shit!! Must be Yung Reed on tha 2nd verse, spittin’ REAL HOT “taxin’-‘em” shit!! My Rating: 4.5


13. “Go, Go, Go” Feat. Lil’ Fred & C Brown
This looks like it gon be real good too!! >>> DEFINITELY feelin’ anticipated wit tha beginning here!! Tha hook’s DEFINITELY hella catchy wit all tha “go, go, go”s and tha beat!! Nice job wit doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1st verse wit your catchy-ass rhymes and just doin’ tha damn thang on tha beat!! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ pretty hot too!! Nice job once again wit this collaboration!! Damn, one verse left; let them do tha damn thang!! He sounds like he gon be around fa a while wit his tightness; good shit all tha way ‘round!! My Rating: 4.5


14. “Take A Look” Feat. Deezy On Da Beat
Just REALLY enjoyin’ this shit right now!! >>> Let’s keep it goin’ wit this HOTNESS of tha hot beats and tha hook too!! Sounds like you doin’ tha damn thang on tha 1st verse wit how much you LUV ta make this HOT-ASS music!! Let’s see what we got fa tha 2nd verse… GR8 start wit “feelin’” good! Nice job on tha verse; VERY GOOD wit how ta just LUV Louisiana’s undaground music!! My Rating: 4.3


15. “Dippin’ From Da Cops” Feat. Yung Duke
Looks REAL TIGHT on tha ID so I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward!!! >>> I had heard this sample before but this beat sounds MUCH, MUCH betta!!! Tha beat’s REAL NICE wit tha Southern vibe and you’re soundin’ pretty good on tha 1st verse; stickin’ to tha GR8 topic to tha fullest!! Tha 2nd verse iz Yung Duke and once again, you have ANOTHA GR8-soundin’ dude on tha mic here! You fuck wit a lotta gr8 people, ya dig! Catchy shit comin’ from him and this song overall!! My Rating: 4.4


16. “Throw It Back” Feat. Foy-Boy
Wow, these titles and features are lookin’ more and more anticipatin’!!! DEFINITELY gon look forward ta hearin’ this!!! >>> Tha beat start iz DEFINITELY AMAZIN’, ya dig!!! Tha hook’s REAL TIGHT; lol @ a gurl “throwin’ back!” Oh, this ain’t a pill song? Thought it was but it’s for tha ladies but still sounds real hot! Tha lyrics sounded not bad in tha 1st verse but tha flow and lyrics were gettin’ gayer by tha second wit tha stupid “Flex” and “Dougie” quotes. Foy-Boy’s on tha 2nd verse and it sounds like he’s hella focused fa this shit, lol!! For some reason, I guess ‘cause afta tha 1st verse, I don’t really wanna hear a 3rd verse… Just okay but nothin’ I can comment on… My Rating: 3.9


17. “Gusher” Feat. Chaucliti & Yung Jody
More newbies; what iz this kinda song? >>> Oh, not really for me wit how this sounds… Sounds like tha female singer on tha hook iz rappin’ on tha 1st verse… Not too bad fa what it iz… Tha 2nd verse sounds okay but nothin’ special for me. Tha hook iz slowly becomin’ more catchy wit tha title. I dunno about havin’ tha room for a 3rd verse but it fit wit tha song too… My Rating: 3.2


18. “Gettin’ Money”
Now, you’re all alone again, lol! >>> Anotha singin’ hook? Kinda obsessive… especially ta where we automatically have ta “smell” you, lol! It’s nothin’ bad though; it sounds cool… Tha singer (no source, lol?) iz rap-singin’ on tha 2nd verse and it’s kinda gay but a lil’ catchy… My Rating: 3.7


19. “Go Girl” (K-Nobe Feat. Yung $tanlo)
K-Nobe’s song featurin’ you? I’m not really bein’ anticipated afta those last few songs… >>> Then again, this beat sounds pretty hot and tha hook’s tight… Tha 1st verse’s pretty good fa this song and tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it consistent… Kinda long for tha beat ending though… My Rating: 4.0


20. “I’mma Be Alright”
Just you this time again… >>> I thought I had heard this sample before? Not likin’ dat it’s Kanye so my anticipation’s kinda low… Okay verse; at least you holdin’ it down. WTF? A Lil’ Wayne verse on tha 2nd verse? Gayness!! My Rating: 3.4


21. “She Like It Slow” Feat. Yung Reed
I think this looks familiar too; could’ve sworn I saw this somewhere… >>> Even down to tha beat bein’ familiar too… Hook’s okay; kinda catchy… Sounds like you’re pretty focused here on tha 1st verse, lol. Yung Reed’s on tha 2nd verse and he sounds like he’s holdin’ it down here too, lol. My Rating: 3.8


22. “Shak’em Off”
Tha way tha title looks like looks like tha Youngbloodz’s 90’s song; let’s see what this iz… >>> For tha “haterz” here; sounds pretty good… LOL, motivational shit here for others? This iz rare! Tha verse sounds tight wit tha consistent rappin’!! My Rating: 4.3


23. “Forever” Feat. Young Salo
This iz it… >>> WTF? What a HORRIBLE way to end!!! Why this (not gonna say gay) bored, used-too-much beat?!? Includin’ tha original hook? I don’t like tha jacked flow on tha 1st verse but tha rappin’s a lil’ cool… Young Salo has a lil’ bit of a jacked flow too. I do like his “Pluto” part… LOL @ tha “I get head in every state;” has he been to every state before? My Rating: 3.0


Overall: VERY HOT shit right chea!! I luv how there were a bunch of features and some pretty tight production ta hold thangz down!! Keep up tha GR8 work, my boy!! Hope ta work wit you and your crew in tha future!!

Review #471: RoyDezzy "Eye Of The Devil"

Reviewed on 5.25.2010 (Review #471)




Aight… Finna continuin’ reviewin’ today wit anotha review from RoyDezzy. This one right chea iz called Eye Of The Devil, which believe it or not, I like dat cover! Start Time: 9:16 PM | End Time: 10:16 PM



Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit my ratings!! I don’t care how lyrical you are! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings (if a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much REALLY LOVE it as it’s considered “mindblowin’” when I hear it) so any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song. Anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it.

Source (Where I Got Tha CD From): http://www.datpiff.com/KWeezy_D-Fresh_roydezzy_Eye_Of_The_Devil.m110188.html


01. “Amazing”
Back ta this again, lol… >>> Different beat? Why iz it different from tha “I Eat Beatz” mixtape? Tha voice ain’t dat gay this time but it’s still a lil’ boring for a start on tha hook… Not bad for a 1st verse here… I have no feedback for it but it’s at least listenable. Nothin’ really ta say ‘bout tha 2nd verse too… At least you’re on a normal path… so far. My Rating: 3.0


02. “I Lov My Bitch”
Where’s tha “e” in “love” or makin’ it “luv?” >>> Okay, still on tha normal tip here and you’re tryin’ ta rhyme. Tha beat’s kinda quiet but it sounds pretty good here. “An asshole should be swole;” I guess so if that’s tha case! I guess you “luv this bitch;” she’ll “take bullets,” huh? I guess you have defense, lol. My Rating: 3.6


03. “Eat U”
ROFL, what do we got here? More hunger! >>> Sounds like a weird Rock beat… Oh, God, gettin’ “eatin’” right now! LOL!! Lemme show my gurl Alexia dis and see what she thinks. Funny beat here and it sounds like you’re soundin’ like a kid here on tha mic… “Can I lick your—wet, wet dick up in your stomach?” Sounded like two completely different sentences connected, lol. This beat sounds familiar (maybe it’s from Lil’ Wayne’s latest CD?) but I can’t even picture what it iz. It’s just weird ‘cause it has tha Rock-Hop style in it… Glad you wanna see “titties” in tha 2nd verse right chea. “Fuckin’ hard like a movie,” huh? Are you referred to “Tha Fuckster?” LOL… My Rating: 3.9



04. “Want Drama”
Now, what? >>> Oh no, “A Milli”? Huh, “drama, drama, drama…” in tha beat? WhoTF came up wit this? LOL… Funny beat once again and you got some interestin’ rhymes goin’ on here too. Sounds like you spittin’ some gangsta shit here; at least your rhymes are on point. My Rating: 4.2


05. “Your Love”
I dunno what I’ll say ‘bout dis… >>> Sounds like a sample in tha vocals here and somethin’ a male R&B singer would sing on… Sounds like Nicki here…; no comment. “Your” voice right chea on tha 1st verse sounds like you got a sex vibe right chea… You “keep her calm, no CD rom?” For some reason, when I heard dat line, I thought you almost said, “I keep her cummin’,” lol… Tha 2nd verse I don’t really have anything ta say… “She suck you even when you’re sleepin’?” LOL… My Rating: 3.1


06. “Watch This City Burn”
LOL @ this title… What’ll come outta it? >>> Huh, it sounds like tha beginning’s ripped from a microphone or some shit. Now, tha beat kicked in normally so let’s see what you got ta say on it… Tha rhymes are listenable here for tha 1st verse… At least there’s nothin’ wrong or gay here… Tha 2nd verse aight…; unfortunately, I have nothin’ ta say ‘bout it… My Rating: 3.5


07. “Bullshit”
LOL @ your titles…; what’s your attitude here? >>> ROFL @ THA “Top Notch” BEAT!!! How random and it puts me in a GR8 mood!! LOL @ tha hook too; lots of “bullshit” (not bad, just shit dat annoys you) like “finid ya ass smellin’ like bullshit,” LMAO!! I dunno how “too many wanna date chu” though; I guess it’s ‘cause your stereotypical sound dat everyone sounds like… Either way, this drew a touch of interest ta me. My Rating: 4.1



08. “Jockin’”
What could this be? >>> ROFL again @ dis Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em “Crank Dat” sample wit tha word “jockin’” repeatin’ pretty slow. This at least makes me laugh wit your lil’ voice too… LOL, tha volume on your voice went up all of a sudden on tha 1st verse! Kinda typical here wit tha lyrical content so I don’t have much ta say… Why’d your voice get gay @ 1:20 all of a sudden? Keep this consistent and tha way it iz right now… Tha 2nd verse sounds like you’re tryin’ ta rap a lil’ betta but you’re makin’ your voice gay all of a sudden in tha verse; no need to… My Rating: 3.4


09. “Up 2 No Good”
Uh oh… What could this be like? >>> An intro to tha song? Sounds like you’re randomly talkin’… Yucky beat start; why these Rock/Pop sounds? Here we go wit tha gay voice a lil’ bit in tha 1st verse… Tha serious meter unfortunately went down fa this song, especially since I heard tha way tha beat started… Dat hook iz yucky; gay soundin’. For some reason, this (wit tha way it’s spellin’ “L-I-M-P” in tha background) iz remindin’ me of when Limp Bizkit did dat “Behind Blue Eyes” in ’03; this sounds like a revived version of dat but really, for Hip-Hop? My Rating: 2.3


10. “Money Right” Feat. Yung Mannie & Young C
Features, lol? They betta be good… >>> Okay, tha beat’s at least normal here. You added an intro here… Yuck @ tha way tha lyrical content iz! You can “fuck any hoe you want ‘cause your money right?” So, you rather be “bitches ova money” since you givin’ tha bitches tha money? Save some (and make sure your raps are up) for a commercial from me! No need ta give gurlz ANY money unless you’re buyin’ them somethin’ for their birthday!! Anyway, tha 1st verse okay; nothin’ special. ROFL @ “and my dick good like medicine?” I guess if you take some drugs, it becomes “medicine?” I dunno but I dunno how tha gurlz’ll be… Anyway, tha 2nd verse iz here and tha flow’s nice and laid back. However, I’m not feelin’ these typical rhymes; it’s like EVERY rapper (especially in their 1st appearance) HAS ta rap about their sex life? Tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse has a lotta “beam” shit although it sounds like a gurl ta me… If not a gurl, then it’s like a 15 year-old… My Rating: 2.6


½time: Not too bad this time ‘round but nothin’ dat impresses me at all… Tha average CD rating’s 3.4; a NICE 2.9 higher than tha last CD, lol!


11. “I Need A Girlfriend”
LOL, “girlfriend” ain’t like “GirlFriend;” it ain’t dat compound, lol! >>> LOL @ this Trey Songz beat; now, I know you gon fuck all ova tha place here wit tha rhymes prolly… You “need barbies?” I dunno but I agree about tha “titties!” You would “neva cheat on your woman?” Then why iz your “money right” for buku bitches? How many gurlfriends do guys usually have before they’re 30? Do they have like 50? My Rating: 2.8


12. “1 Of A Kind”
Iz a word missin’ in tha title? Like a “one”? >>> Much betta vibe wit tha intro here since you wanna “light dat weed up!” Tha beat start sounds nice too! LOL, you “give ‘em orgasms?” Random mix wit tha “weed,” lol! Since you said, “one of a kind,” I’ll add tha “1” to tha title. Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good; I can give it a plus. Tha hook’s catchy too; “go harder than lightning!” Shit, only 2:03 on tha length? Why so short wit only one verse? My Rating: 4.3


13. “Monopoly”
LOL @ this title comin’ inta play wit you… How will you handle it? >>> ROFL @ this; such a typical sayin’!! “I get money like Monopoly!” I thought you was gonna talk about “monopolies” instead, lol! Tha beat’s pretty good and tha 1st verse’s okay… I don’t know what I’d say about it… Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty good wit tha start, startin’ wit “tha weed you inhalin’.” You even have “a gun?” I thought you felt all luved and teddy bearish for tha ladies? You gotta even defend yourself, lol? You kept tha remainin’ 48 seconds of tha beat at tha end, lol? My Rating: 3.7


14. “Try To Play Me” Feat. C.O.
I wonder who this featured dude iz… Hope this iz at least above average… >>> Fade-in intro? Sounds like tha hook could go hard but I have a feelin’ it ain’t original; at least it sounds undaground. Tha C.O. dude’s on tha 1st verse and he a “9th Ward soulja” so you KNOW he sounds focused! Glad he has a street feel to his rappin’! LOL, when it switched back ta you, tha voice sounded a lil’ weird at first but then again, it’s you. You’re on tha 2nd verse here and this iz tha 2nd time you did this: Last Summer, I reviewed a mixtape of yours and it was trash. Then, tha follow-up was a mixtape wit no Auto-Tune. Now, it happened again: Tha last mixtape I reviewed of yours was trash but this one’s betta ‘cause it has no A-Tune! Weird dat history’s repeatin’! Anyway, good job on your verse right chea… My Rating: 4.2


15. “Ego”
I dunno what’ll come outta this title… >>> Oh no, your voice sounds a lil’ gay for tha start…; hope it doesn’t get spoiled. I hear singin’ in tha hook so this must be a jacked beat; DatPiff didn’t remove it like they usually do? Why you singin’ wit it? It’s like you’re hosting a song or somethin’, lol. Only one verse so this ain’t gonna last long… Tha rhymes are a lil’ cool but I don’t like tha A-Tune… My Rating: 2.5


16. “Game Gurls”
What iz this? >>> LOL, no intro? LOL, it just went quiet and then, it started? You talkin’ ‘bout “takin’ your banana,” lol? Sounds like you’re REAL “horny” fa this… I can give this a pass, I guess… There’s nothin’ wrong wit it; I like hearin’ songs dat are explicit when it comes ta tha sex. LOL, there’s a featured artist on tha 2nd verse? WTF? You don’t list them? At least he’s catchy for lettin’ tha hornyness out! I like how dat mysterious rapper came through fa this! My Rating: 3.8


17. “I’m Laughin’”
What would be funny? >>> Ahh @ tha start; DEFINITELY not “laughin’” here! Should I cry? Ahh, your voice randomly sounds loud wit a quality here all of a sudden, lol… Sounds like you’re bein’ cocky in tha 1st verse here as you say err-body “wishes they were like you;” what do you do dat’s groundbreakin’? Fuck? What iz it? Clone Wayne? “Turn an ugly gurl to a bad bitch;” how? “Every whip I got…;” you have more than one car? How? What do you do? Do you fuck to get money? My Rating: 2.9


18. “I Got Money”
Too typical; make it good to survive! >>> Slow start and tha hook sounds like a weird Pleasure P… Weird song whoeva made this first! Uh oh, you want tha A-Tune and singin’ on tha track? Well then, you’ll have ta suffer! I have no comment on these verses ‘cause I can’t take ‘em serious if you’re not rappin’/applyin’ attributes seriously. My Rating: 1.1


19. “Gangsta” Feat. Lil’ DayDay
Who’s this DayDay person? Didn’t I hear this song once before on your last mixtape? >>> Sounds like tha song I heard before… You don’t sound good in tha beginning but this featured artist DEFINITELY does! He REALLY on a bunch of gr8 shit, rappin’ ‘bout REAL GR8 shit wit a NICE, gutta Louisiana feel in his rappin’!! Nice contribution… It might lift tha rating slightly… You’re on tha 2nd verse here and it doesn’t sound like tha otha song now; I don’t hear tha “throw away tha R&B” part… I think I like this betta; nothin’ really wrong wit you. I thought tha Lil’ DayDay dude REALLY lifted dis song up HIGH!! My Rating: 4.3


20. “I Made It”
Iz this what I think it iz… >>> YUCK @ tha start; sounds like tha person’s really havin’ an anxiety attack!! Even her moanin’ ain’t doin’ it here; scary as hell! Oh no, even MORE scary: you on tha 1st verse! Tha voice DEFINITELY ain’t pullin’ it off this time, 100%! Even these lyrics are kinda gay… Well, they’re gay but at times, they’re a lil’ okay. No wonder why I rated a song 1.1… for there to be room for a 1.0! *Begs fa tha song ta end!!!* C’mon, enough wit tryin’ ta spit gangsta lyrics wit A-Tune on tha 2nd verse! A-Tune DOESN’T make you gangsta!! You rather “die” than one of your dudes? Are you THAT obsessed wit friends? How? My Rating: 1.0


21. “Many Men” Feat. Baby L’s & 50 Cent
What? Why such an old-ass beat? We’re in ’10 now! DatPiff didn’t pull this one away wit its sample? What’s really up wit this… I dunno how much I’ll take it serious… >>> Not even tha real “Many Men” beat; why 50 Cent though? Tha beat’s pretty cool here and it sounds like Baby L’s at first? If not, he’s at least in tha background contributin’ ad-libs. Neva mind, tha REAL voice of L’s iz at :36 right chea, spittin’ some good shit! Nice job wit tha feature and lol @ tha hook here! There’s some of “Many Men” comin’ outta nowhere on tha hook (as it’s sampled) and you, you’re just “eatin’ beatz,” lol! Glad L’s iz on tha 2nd verse, as he’s really ‘bout dat gangsta shit! Gotta take tha “body parts” shit as somethin’ real serious, ya dig! You took tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse right here and it’s okay. Then again, L’s can handle tha gutta shit more than you. LOL @ tha 50 Cent verse at tha end… Did you really need it, lol? My Rating: 3.7


Overall: I didn’t even take a break through this review, as it took exactly an hour (tha length of this CD). Well, you did betta this time. Tha average CD rating’s almost two points higher than tha last one! Keep rappin’ above average, aight?!
