Review #495: B.G. "Chopper City"

Reviewed on 6.10.2010 (Review #495)




Time ta continue my marathon! Up next iz B.G. “Chopper City”; you KNOW I’m lookin’ forward!! Start Time: 10:35 AM | End Time: 11:26 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) 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.

01. 187.9 FM (Big Tymers)
Looks like tha start iz a skit? Let’s see what’s good wit it… >>> Tha Big Tymers (Baby & Mannie Fresh) sound good on this radio intro right chea; good shit! My Rating: N/A


02. “All On U”
Time ta see what you bringin’ ta tha table for this year of 1996… >>> Sounds like real good, undaground street shit in tha beat here! You sound good for tha 1st verse too; really feelin’ these gangsta/hood-type lyrics! Real nice job wit how you came through for tha 1st verse and tha hook’s really “all on them” when it comes ta “what they wanna do” when your “finga’s on tha trigga!” Good/catchy shit for tha hook! Tha 2nd verse sounds like it’s continuin’ dat good-ass street content! For tha 3rd verse, it’s real street here as to where tha “money goes to your nose!” Definitely comin’ through good for tha 3rd verse too on this joint! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Uptown Thang (Wait’n On Your Picture)”
Dis looks good; let’s see… >>> Yea, still feelin’ tha HOT, 90’s undaground beat style here!! You’re really “representin’” to tha fullest here for tha streetz; gr8 advice you’re spittin’ too! Tha hook’s representin’ hard fa tha hood right chea; good shit! Tha 2nd verse keeps it goin’ ‘til tha end here wit all your gangsta-type shit! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Niggas Don’t Understand” Feat. Big Tymers
Looks personal; let’s see what’s up wit dis one… >>> Tha beat’s pretty upliftin’… Baby’s on tha feature here; good shit! Y’all both sound GR8 on tha hook and on tha 1st verse too!! He keepin’ it street to tha fullest wit err-thang drug-related! Tha hook’s good when tha both of y’all are on it once again; good job deliverin’ advice to those dat “don’t understand!” Tha 2nd verse was good too… Wit all this consistency, I dunno what else ta say about it… Even Mannie Fresh’s on this (Big Tymers collab) so thumbs up ta him contributin’ on tha 3rd verse! It’s just him this time on tha verse and it sounds good. My Rating: 4.2


05. Toilet Paper (Ziggly Wiggly)
It must be a skit; let’s see what he gon say… >>> This tha same dude wit VL Mike’s “Place Yo Betz” mixtape… He must’ve always sounded angry… LOL… Anger, lol! My Rating: N/A


06. “Retaliation” Feat. Juvenile, Ms. Tee & Bun B
Looks like a hood title so let’s see dis collab wit 6:09 on tha length… >>> Pretty sad-soundin’ in tha beginning but it’s pretty good wit Ms. Tee in tha background and Juvenile rappin’ on tha 1st verse. Not bad on tha 1st verse here… Ooh, gotta luv how Ms. Tee’s comin’ through on tha hook here! Luv her content and how she presents tha hook! You’re on tha 2nd verse here, B.G., and it’s soundin’ gr8 (as usual)! Keep this shit up ‘cause it’s all about tha consistent hood shit!! Time fa tha 3rd verse here from B and he sounds good too on dis shit. All tha features have appeared and at least three minutes remain on dis joint! Interestin’ street shit from Bun on dis shit right chea, ya dig! Shit, an outro dat’s 1:53 long? I thought I’d hear a 4th verse but Bun sounds GR8 on tha outro here! Gotta feel how he comin’ through for tha scene; gotta luv tha “weed” part too! My Rating: 4.5


07. “Niggas N Trouble” Feat. Mac
Let’s see how much Mac had grown since I heard him on this marathon back about five years ago… >>> Gr8 soundin’ here; feelin’ tha beat! It sounds betta when Mac hops onto tha 1st verse! Much betta than dat shit as “Lil’ Mac”! Feelin’ tha rhymes here; makes you invision tha hood in every sight! You’re on tha 2nd verse here, Gizzle, and it’s more of tha G in your name right chea (“G”angsta shit)! Almost sounds a lil’ randomly rapped ‘round 2:15 – 2:20… Oh, there’s no hook, lol? Just str8 rappin’? Cool… Mac’s on tha 3rd verse; more hot shit! Glad y’all collaboratin’ back to back on dis joint! Speakin’ of collaboratin’, Gizzle, it’s time fa tha 4th verse (which you’re on)! My Rating: 4.6


½time: NICE JOB wit dis CD right chea!! You keepin’ it consistent to tha fullest!! Tha average CD rating’s at a NICE 4.4; thumbs up!!!


08. “Bat A Bitch” Feat. Big Tymers
Interestin’ title… Let’s see what you can make outta dis! >>> Tha beat sounds like some old shit sampled… Sounds much betta when you hop onto it; kick-ass style! Good shit for tha “bitches” here! Tha hook sounds like “Nuttin’ Like A G Thang” and iz good overall… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ hot here wit you and Baby collaboratin’! Good street shit at its finest! It’s all about “where you from!” Time fa tha 3rd verse and it’s Mannie Fresh, spittin’ on dis hot-ass beat! REALLY feelin’ tha sounds in this beat; just kick-assful when it’s rapped on!! Good talkin’ at tha end too! My Rating: 4.6


09. “Wheel Chairs” Feat. Big Tymers & Ms. Tee
Should be interestin’ once again! >>> Oh shit, it’s just a skit… Oh no, it’s not; it’s a song… Cool lil’ hook from Ms. Tee in tha beginning and then, interestin’ collaboration from you and Baby rappin’ on tha 1st verse! DEFINITELY street shit to tha fullest and all about tha “kapas” (didn’t know dat word was around back then)! ROFL @ tha cut-off ending! My Rating: 4.4


10. “Order 20 Keys”
REAL GR8 title so let’s see what’s up wit it!! >>> Tha beat’s cool here; fits tha Chopper City/undaground Louisiana sound! You got some pretty good rappin’ in tha 1st verse here; not bad… Tha hook’s good; definitely good for tha trappin’ people! Sounds like you’re comin’ through a lil’ betta on tha 2nd verse here! You’re spittin’ str8 gangsta shit to tha fullest!! It’s all about tha streetz right chea!! Tha 3rd verse’s even more gangsta than tha last one! “Demandin’ what you got;” raw shit! Ooh, a talkin’ outro… Sounds GR8 wit gettin’ your cake up! My Rating: 4.3


11. “Play’n & Laugh’n” Feat. Mannie Fresh
Just Mannie dis time? Let’s see what it’s like without Baby on tha feature… >>> Okay start here… Not bad wit tha 1st verse and Mannie’s doin’ a nice job on tha hook; good collab! You’re on tha 2nd verse too and it sounds like you goin’ your route, which iz good! Dat’s what I do 24/7! A lil’ betta than tha 1st verse here… Let’s see what tha 3rd verse has ta offer… It’s you and it sounds betta this time too… Feelin’ tha street content; it’s ALWAYS a plus ta hear what’s good wit tha streetz and your street attributes! Sounds like a long beat outro here… Y’all prolly could’ve talked on it or somethin’… My Rating: 4.0


12. “Doing Bad”
Why? Iz it tha streetz? >>> I can sense tha 90’s style in tha beginning here… Ooh, I like how it kicked in at :15! Sounds good and you sound pretty good on dis joint right chea on tha 1st verse! DEFINITELY comin’ through as a “young thug!” Tha hook most definitely defines dat tha streetz can make you “do bad” so I guessed dat right. It sounds good though even though everyone tries to evade tha feds and troubles… Tha 2nd verse’s good too; you “fulla dat skunk,” doin’ tha damn thang! Tha 3rd verse defines a future of trouble if you fuck up… Interestin’ shit, Gizzle. My Rating: 4.2


13. “So Much Death” Feat. Keisha
Tha featured gurl looks like tha “TiK ToK” Ke$ha, lol. >>> Tha beat’s kinda soft for a start here; not sure how much I’ll feel dis so do ya thang. You’re here on tha 1st verse and it’s about you “losin’ your daddy.” At least it ain’t a typical death dat everyone raps about (I STILL don’t understand people havin’ friends and actually CARIN’ for ‘em?). Good rhymes from you in tha 1st verse and tha Keisha gurl sounds good on tha hook; I like how she sung it. You’re back on tha 2nd verse and it’s more about a scary future this time. “Iz there really a heaven for a true G;” dat’s a good question…! Tha 3rd verse keeps it goin’ wit your street shit…; good job once again. My Rating: 3.7


14. “Represent” Feat. Bulletproof
Tha featured artist’s like La Roux this time, lol! How will this be for an ending wit 5:03 on tha length? >>> Ooh, REAL COOL wit tha beat sample here in tha beginning; sounds REAL, REAL HOT!!! Luv how it sounds and y’all sound like y’all’ll do tha damn thang REAL GOOD here!!! Bulletproof must be on tha 1st verse and it sounds pretty tight wit tha street shit! Tha flow’s a lil’ dry though; prolly could’ve delivered it in a more gutta perspective! It still was DEFINITELY good… Tha hook’s DEFINITELY good wit tha “representin’!” You’re on tha 2nd verse here and it’s all about “ballin’” in your perspective! Really feelin’ all tha street/hood shit you’re spittin’ here; DEFINITELY tight to tha fullest!! You REALLY “goin’ off” here!! Keep it goin’ wit 2:05 left!! Str8 to tha 3rd verse here and there’s much mo gangsta shit here! Too consistent without stoppin’!!! Tha “T-shirt waitin’ on your fuckin’ picture” line’s just TOO gutta!! That’s just a real gutta sayin’ when it comes ta dis Rap shit! My Rating: 4.6


Overall: Sounded like a REAL GOOD CD from you once again, B.G.! You REALLY luv makin’ CDs, lol!! Keep ‘em comin’!!
