“Stackz: It’s Nothing”. Here goes my review!! Really lookin’ forward!!!! Start Time: 9:47 PM | Video Game Playing: Monopoly (for Super Nintendo) (on my computer)Links
01. “Stackz: It’s Nothing”
Looks like there’s also 26 tracks on this joint too. Let’s see iz this gonna be an intro, song, or both? Lemme find out right now! >>> Yeah “tha winner iz Rowe!” Nice that it’s on this beat (“Roc Boys (And The Winner Is…)”). I like tha “global warming” line. Yeah I like when you say “it’s NOTHING!” My Rating: 4.0
02. “Get Mo”
*Loses some anticipation* Oh no more of tha classics…? I thought this was gonna be all brand new… But w/e, this joint was/iz a HOT one! I finna copy/paste my review from “Texas Sensation” when I reviewed it on there: Yeah this was that anthem right there!! Glad u included it onto this mixtape! That hook iz SO OFF THA CHAIN!! – I love that “masturbating trunk” line; it’s so funny, yet so good, lol – Definitely an anthem that I still really feel. Oh yeah looks like there’s no mixing. I guess that’s good ‘cause it’s different on your part when it comes to tha mixtapes. My Current Rating: 4.8
^ Once again, tha shit was typed like that ‘cause I reviewed that on my labtop when my labtop’s period button was fuckin’ up, so I couldn’t use it.
03. “Haterz (Remix)” Feat. Wes Fif & B.O.B.
Phew a newbie. Lookin’ forward to hearin’ what/where Natureboy Rowe comes in on this hot joint! Can’t believe all my sources ignored this song last year. That caused it to miss my Top 777 Songs of 2007 countdown! >>> Wow we’re only on Song No. 3, and I can already plant houses and hotels on my property in Monopoly! I always loved that trance “My Love” type of beat for this song. I thought that was somethin’ different and real cool. Good thing for this remix. Instead of replacing someone’s verse, your verse was added at tha end! Oh real nice so far Natureboy! Soundin’ like T.I. wit tha fast flow on this! Makes tha song sound a lot better! REAL good job Natureboy! My Rating: 4.3 <- This song went from like a 3.9 originally to a 4.0, and now a 4.3 thanx to you! Break: 10:04 PM. Gotta call my boy Jimmy The DJ and see what’s good… >>> Wow we had a real good conversation, clocking at 27 minutes, 2 seconds!!
04. “It’s Nothing” Feat. All-Star
Iz this All-Star tha Cash Money prince? If yes or no, I got a High AL for this joint right’chea! >>> You used this beat again, lol? Oh wait never mind this was tha “Bonus Track 2” from tha “Dallas Hottest Commodity 1.7” mixtape. And I guess I know now: that’s All-Star (Cash Money) on tha hook (wit that great sample w/e it iz). And straight from my review from that mixtape: Tha “konvict” intro thing scared me almost. I didn’t know what to expect. It’s tha 9mm beat. Hook sounds pretty good (it sounds like somethin’ else – oh that “ass” song by T.I. & Wyclef Jean “You Know What It Is”). There was a nice sample during tha hook too. Sounded good. My Rating: 3.8
05. “Something Like It (Get Wit It)”
This was a comeback song for me from Natureboy Rowe when it came to tha Fall of ’07. It was pretty good, even tho I heard better King Stunna productions. I made my 63 year old grandma rap to it (tha hook, which iz on Youtube right now titled “My 63 Year Old Grandma Rappin’ To 6 Songs”). This joint landed at No. 399 on my Top 777 Songs of 2007 countdown wit 33 spins wit me in 2007. You gave me tha clean/short version. Iz this one gonna be tha same, or iz it gonna be tha dirty/long club version that you said you was makin’? I bet’cha it’s tha short one… >>> It iz tha short one (and clean still). Oh yeah in Monopoly, I had to name my character, so since I was reviewin’ this mixtape right now, I named him “Rowe”. I liked this ‘cause it was a lil’ faster than tha usual Natureboy songs (it’s 95 BPM). My Current Rating: 4.0
06. “Not Lock Down” Feat. TREAL
Let’s see this one. I feel all hot right now, and somewhat hungry. Hopefully I don’t catch a tension headache doin’ this mixtape review… Fuck it, I’m such a skinny thing… I don’t see anything to eat. Plus, I don’t wanna eat anything and have to type (meaning I would get my keyboard dirty). >>> Kinda odd/slow start… Tha hook sounds different and smooth. Tha whole song sounds too smooth for me. I almost wanna give it a <3.0>>> Nice beat. Real nice line wit tha “powerline wire” <- . That’s a REAL NICE hook/sample on tha hook! Yup this another great joint right there! My Rating: 4.3 09. “Keep It Rocking” This one again. Back to tha clean version I see… “Str8” from tha “Texas Sensation” review: Was really feelin’ it when I first heard it on Dirty South Radio, but after a few weeks it sizzled down for me, and I kinda am avoiding this song now wit playing it ‘cause it reminds me a lil’ of that shitty-ass-gay 2nd semester I had at college (mainly during tha end of March & April), but either way, “Keep It Rocking” iz that joint – Of course, King Stunna iz a beast on tha beats – I always thought you put a lot of effort into this song ‘cause it sounds great how u made it – I always really liked that bridge part “loooooooook at meeeeeeeeeeee, I’m 100 from my headdddd to my feeeeeeeeeet…” that whole part was, and still iz tha shit. This tha first song I’m reviewing (even tho I reviewed it already) wit my door open (I usually have it closed). BTW, when I wrote that from “Texas Sensation” review, I thought I had a bad 2nd semester, but I didn’t. That semester at least had hangouts unlike tha REAL shitty-ass 3rd semester! NO hangouts pretty much during that gay semester! Also, this landed at No. 294 on my Top 777 Songs of 2007 wit 61 spins wit me in 2007. My Current Rating: 4.3 10. “I Get Money” Even tho a newbie to me, iz this over tha 50 Cent beat??? >>> *Sarcastic voice* *DING DING DING* And as Pink would say, “who knew”, lol. Like that line “I’m so Wu-Tang, I got method, man.” @ that “Straight To The Bank” rendition. At least it was a lot better than 50’s! You don’t like Nick Cannon, lol? That was a random callout. Lol @ tha “Dallas Texas love” (singin’) at tha end! I liked that. My Rating: 3.9
11. “Diddy Rock (Remix)” Feat. Diddy, Twista & Shawnna
This again? Lol… It made me crack a smile. This looks a lil’ longer. Str8 from tha “Dallas Hottest Commodity” review: Lol @ tha Diddy… Nice fast beat and fast flow – I like tha “side 2 side” line – That was nice. I like it a lil’ better since tha “Texas Sensation” review. Oh nice Twista part, including when tha beat got slower. Shawnna doin’ her thang on this. My Current Rating: 3.9
12. “I Kill Bars”
Yeah you got some tight-ass bars Natureboy! You be doin’ tha damn thang! I wanna see now how you express it in a title/song! High AL!! >>> Short one… Yeah you “King Kong boy, hangin’ out tha window!” <- Nice line! Pretty good freestyle! Feelin’ it! My Rating: 3.8 13. “Go Live” Cool this one iz on another mixtape. Lol @ tha shortened length: 3:38? Mines iz close to 4:20. Somewhat taken from tha “Texas Sensation” review (since this iz now tha dirty version): This iz that club banger right there – It has “club” written all over it! Yeah it’s still got that quality sound. It landed at No. 181 on my Top 777 Songs of 2007 and got 77 spins wit me in 2007. My Current Rating: 4.3 ½ time: Yeah nice so far (of course). Pretty good classics, as I heard a bunch of them a ton of times. Hopefully there’s more new jointz on this, and since you threw in a bunch of tha classics, you BETTA have threw in that “Standing Ovation” joint! Hope that’s coming up soon! 14. “My Wheels Clean” My “Dallas Hottest Commodity 1.7” review says it all: Yeah this another one from tha otha mixtape, but definitely still hot. It was No. 50 on my Top 777 of 2007 year end countdown, and was a *CERTIFIED CLASSIC* wit 139 spins wit me in 2007. Definitely a banger, and one of tha biggest Lackawanna College urban anthems of mine of tha 2nd semester. It goes to show you you can make a banger even when you have a cold (which you told me you had a cold when you made this). My Current Rating: 4.5 15. “Bang” Aight new joint hopefully. Let’s see it! >>> It has a real nice intro and beat. What’s wit these songs? They keep gettin’ shorter and shorter! 2:06 iz real short for somethin’ that sounds real hot like this! Yeah nice verse, and that’s a real hot hook. My Rating: 4.3
16. “Dippin’ In Da Lac” Feat. Big Tuck & Paul Wall
I always have faith in tha No. 16 song on ANY CD/mixtape. Looks like you did a nice “added verse” to tha song wit Big Tuck & Paul Wall in it (which I never heard yet). Let’s see how this gon sound out to be! High AL!! >>> Big Tuck did a good job. Tha hook sounds pretty good. Definitely feelin’ it. That beat iz tight! I liked Paul Wall’s part, but Big Tuck’s was a lot better. Your verse was real good. Really liked it. This joint gon have a real nice rating from me! My Rating: 4.6
17. “Days Like This”
3 new jointz in a row! That’s watz good! This one I predict’ll be more different. Prolly smooth like that one joint wit TREAL. >>> Tha hook sounds nice. Too bad this iz 1:53. How short. Too short, but sounded good for somethin’ different. My Rating: 3.7
18. “My Cologne”
Okay another new one for me!! Title might make me feel anticipated for it for some reason, so yeah, High AL for this. Hope it sounds good AND AT LEAST 3 MINUTES!! >>> Tha songs just keep gettin’ shorter. 1:34. Really good beat. Lol tha hook iz funny to me, but yeah, capturing tha ladies fa’real! Are all these short songs supposed to be just samples? That’s what I’m guessin’. I fuckin’ love that beat! For some reason it reminds me of Aladian, a genie, and a desert! My Rating: 4.5
19. “One Take”
Yes another one!! >>> Okay a lil’ better length, 2:40. Yeah you’re “nothin’ like a bubble; no nigga gon pop” you. This joint was aight. I don’t even think it had a hook. Not bad. My Rating: 3.5
20. “I Need My Money”
I was just thinkin’ ‘bout this joint and “Who Knows” ‘cause I never reviewed them yet. This one landed at No. 489 on my Top 777 Songs of 2007 wit 32 spins wit me in 2007. I think it was on my playlist for 16 weeks, but most of tha times it received low spins (a.k.a. it was a “SPIKE” on my playlist) due to a ton of Natureboy songs were on my playlist already, and this one was tha one I played tha least at tha time, and was a lil’ unsure about over-playing it. It looks like you re-recorded this ‘cause in tha beginning, when you say “they callin’ me,” it sounds like you said it longer or somethin’. Tha beat was smooth on this, but compared to tha bunch of songs by you that were on my playlist during tha Spring of 2007 (real good times), this was tha one that was more on tha lower end of things (I explained earlier). And it looks like you did somethin’ to that ending also. You shouted out King Stunna. My Current Rating: 3.8
21. “Hood Nigga”
Doin’ it Zoe style? >>> Yup, and I like how it was a :00 second intro! Soundin’ good already! You did yo thang, but who’s tha 4 rappers after you? I like tha 3rd dude’s line “you can call me Lion King ‘cause I’m Coota Matata.” (sp?) I like how this one was consistant. My Rating: 3.7
22. “Gotta Get It”
This was tha 1st urban joint I played during tha 3rd semester at my college. This one blew up on my Top 10 Countdown after I heard my shout out that you gave me on tha “Texas Sensation” mixtape. This joint had a nice production and nice rhymes. It landed at No. 168 on my Top 777 Songs of 2007 and got 63 spins wit me in 2007. My Current Rating: 4.3
23. “That Price”
Nature”boy” you love this song! On another mixtape! Here’s my review from tha “Dallas Hottest Commodity” review: I feel bad for this song ‘cause it didn’t get 100 spins in 2007 wit me. It got 99. Really, that’s being shy of being a *CERTIFIED CLASSIC* wit me when it comes to my year end countdown, but because tha 100th spin came from when I played it on my year end countdown, it’s pretty much a *CERTIFIED CLASSIC*, so thumbs up to this hot joint. My best friend loved it (I already told you that a while ago). Nice 2nd semester/Summer ’07 flashback for me (those were good times when I didn’t think they really were)! Tha thing that really makes tha song good iz tha “dun-da-da-dund-un” in tha hook! I love that, and that caught my attention in a real good way when I first heard it! Once again, this was No. 90 on my Top 777 of 2007 year end countdown. Also finally realized this beat was from Gucci Mane “That’s All”. My Current Rating: 4.6
24. Southpaw “Knockin’ Doorz Down”
Oh this… How odd that this iz at tha end… Taken from tha “Texas Sensation” review (originally titled “Introducing Southpaw”): I never heard Southpaw before (I know they ur buddies), so if this a song, then I wanna hear it – If it’s a skit, then I wanna hear it also >>> They sound pretty good – Not bad lil’ “Knockin’ Doorz Down” version of their’s. My Current Rating: 3.6
25. “Guard It” (Bonus)
Was this tha “Bonus Track 1” from tha last mixtape? >>> Naw it’s not. Another new joint this iz. Beat sounds like a different/cool version of “Get Mo”. I like that beginning that it sounds like it’s comin’ str8 from tha phone. Yeah Mr. “U.P.S.”. I hope you “U.P.S.” me and come to my door one day. My Rating: 3.8
26. “Outro”
Okay before I look at tha title, we’re on tha last one. It BETTER be “Standing Ovation” or somethin’ new, or an outro……………… *Checks title* Okay it’s tha outro. I always look forward to your skits/intros/outros. High AL! >>> It was 4 seconds long!! I liked it, but damn, 4 seconds?!? My Rating: N/A
Overall: End Time: 12:21 AM. Yeah great mixtape, good new jointz, but too many classics again. “Standing Ovation” should’ve been on this one. That was my favorite song I neva heard from tha “Dallas Hottest Commodity 1.7” mixtape.
