---*Album Rating:* 28%---
---Introduction---
Ever since I heard "Ice Cream Paint Job", I had high expectations that this would be a good album considering it was one of the best songs I heard on sucker free on MTV this year. This guy has a nice flow and really brings out the gangsta sound when he raps. He has alot of potential but unfortunately this album wasn't a winner. I'm a little upset however because the "gangstaness" that I expected turned out to be just very minimal and it turned into your average commercial bullshit overall. Minus 5 deduction for some "unoriginality".
---Track Rating---
- (+1) Track 1 - Boy, I Grind ->
First track of the album, really nice beat, good flow, good background chorus. So far this album is impressing me alot because this is a phenominal start and for a mainstream album it feels too good to be true.
- (+1) Track 2 - Ice Cream Paint Job -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxjWaiFVh20&feature=fvw[/ame]
This song is probly pretty popular right now, for the good though. This song is catchy for one and the flow in it is pretty sick. I also love the beat, really fucking oldschool. The video is also phenominal. Now a days its really hard to make good catchy songs, you get the credit Dorrough, this shit is hot!!!
- (-1) Track 3 - She Ain't Got It All -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1AaNflOhwg...feature=related[/ame]
Unfortunately this song was a let down, reminds me to much of Soulja Boy in a bad way. I hope the rest of the album is better than this. The first 2 tracks were ILL!!! This song however was WAY too catchy and there wasn't any rap in it at all. WHERES THE RAP!!! I WANT RAP Please don't fuck up anymore...
- (+1) Track 4 - Hood Song -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK_bK8h3s8c...feature=related[/ame]
I goto hand it to you, I had to give it a little to warm up (respectfully) and it turned out to be kinda nice. I don't like singing in rap but you cut it into a limit on this song, so thats a good thing. And besides the guest singer really isn't that bad (Since she doesn't sing alot). I feel better now since this sort of made up for the last track. But the end of the song gets kind of weak. However nicely done, I'll give this song a positive.
- (-1) -Track 5 - Flash Out -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uct0y9ER8lE...feature=related[/ame]
Another upset, this is almost the same poop like track 3. At least theres a little rap in this one, only a tiny little though. But this is seriously an awful song, its boring and inconsistent.
- (-1) Track 6 - Never Changed -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tf1u1HnXnQ...feature=related[/ame]
The rap is good but your messing with the singing too much. Don't add too much singing to the production or it becomes too cheesy and corny. Your a rapper man, I'm looking for the rapping. Forget the singing and stick to the rapping, your good with that if you focus on it.
- (-1) Track 7 - Feel This Way -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ja9yGeL_4g...feature=related[/ame]
In the beginning, the very beginning you had an excellent rap and flow going. Then you went on to some kind of sing along bullshit you did in a few songs back. Stop that, just stick to the rapping. In the middle you go back to the rapping but then you go back to the singing, stop seriously. STOP CHANGING AROUND. Your either a rapper or a singer. PICK ONE OR THE OTHER.
- (-1) Track 8 - Piece & Chain Swangin -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoOu5291akE...feature=related[/ame]
Ok no more singing please, I also hear some autotune. Autotune is fail. Stop it. JUST STOP IT. I expected so much and this is turnign into commercial bullshit. Besides the rap and good flow, theres shit autotune and stupid singing. That makes the song bad. Yes theres some nice verses of rap but seriously your ruining the song with the singing. The beat isn't that great either, sounds like some generic video game shit.
- (-1) Track 9 - This Time You Was Wrong -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qa69bGf8SE...feature=related[/ame]
This time you was wrong??? Is that a sentence??? Nevermind alot of hip hop songs aren't even proper english so I won't go far. This song is better than the last one thats for sure. It still doesn't sound great but the rap is good where it comes. It just doesn't come enough. You try too hard to put funk in this song to give it an original vibe that just didn't turn out as good as the better songs of this album.
- (-1) Track 10 - Walk The Walk -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHOrscp48dg&feature=fvw[/ame]
Sounds like an abomination of combined past tracks of this album. Your starting to lose originallity at this point. The points keep dropping. Not impressed. A few good rap flow moments but your like a Soulja Boy 2 right now.
- (+1) Track 11 - Wired To The T -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUj6pw0Hcao...feature=related[/ame]
The beginning of this song is pretty hot. It seems like your not being a fake or so commercial anymore. In fact this song sounds hot period. Now if you sounded like this consistently through the whole album, it might have been the one of the best mainstream releases I ever heard. However you did sound like a little like Soulja Boy once again towards the end.
- (+1) Track 12 - Trunk Bang -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpjKtzX4LuM...feature=related[/ame]
Eh the beat sounds cool I guess. The synth repetitive vocals can be a bit much though (Alot of your songs have this in a bad way). Overall it warms up into some good rap and then goes in to synth vocals and back into some nice rap etc. Another better song in this album, its alright and deserves attention but not all that impressive.
- (-1) Track 13 - What's My Ringtone -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eRMYAgz6jQ...feature=related[/ame]
Ok this is probly one of the worst songs I heard on the album. Very unimpressive and really only VERY little rap. The beginning of the song sucks and theres autotune usage in it (In a bad way). Overall its commercial crap that sounds bad. I feel like im listening to T Pain with a little rap or some shit like that with some awful Beyonce guest vocals in it. Beyonce + T Pain goes rap with Dorrough??? What the fuck?
- (-1) Track 14 - A Whole Lotta -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3CbpFsGgc0...feature=related[/ame]
Stop it with the simple shit beats for one, and its just another one of your Soulja Boy wanabee songs. Fail hard more. Stop please stop and stick to rap PLEASE. Fucking awful commercial garbage tbh. VERY VERY little rap.
- (-1) Track 15 - Caramel Sundae -> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3CbpFsGgc0...feature=related[/ame]
This is too much like an Ice Cream Paint Job copy seriously. Unimpressive and seems like I heard of it in the very beginning. The beat isn't very original or impressive either.
