Reviewed on 6.10.2010 (Review #498)




Gotta keep movin’, ya feel me! What’s a grinda ta do elsewise? Next iz B-Lo & Da Ganksta “A Mill & Stackin’”; ALWAYS lookin’ forward to dat undaground Louisiana Rap music!!! Start Time: 3:58 PM | End Time: 5:03 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.

What could this be? I’m DEFINITELY lookin’ forward!! >>> Sounds like a skit in tha beginning? What’s wit all tha shootin’? Now, it’s a verse and it’s B-Lo, spittin’ some mo of dat street shit! Nice job spittin’ what really’s good wit people “trippin’” all ova tha place, B! Tha hook’s not bad; tha singin’ gives it a pretty good flow… Tha 2nd verse iz Ganksta and she’s spittin’ good street shit. LOL @ tha part @ 2:18 wit tha “get on tha flo’,” 2:20 wit anotha part and 2:25 wit, “Don’t kill my daddy;” raw shit…! Tha 3rd verse iz B-Lo and he’s spittin’ some gutta shit to tha fullest here!! DEFINITELY no need ta fuck wit someone tha wrong way!! My Rating: 4.4


06. “Head Hurtin’”
Looks like it’ll be a GR8 one based off dis title!! >>> Feelin’ tha creepin’ beat start! Tha hook sounds good fa dis one right chea! Even though it’s on tha strugglin’-type, I like how it’s delivered here when it comes ta tha HOT sounds of B-Lo & Da Ganksta!! Speakin’ of B, you’re on tha 1st verse here, REALLY holdin’ yaself down!! Tha gunshots right when tha 1st verse ended was pretty gutta… Iz there someone else on tha 2nd verse? I see features on tha CD cover but as I’m googlin’ online, no features are comin’ up… He spelled his name: “J-O-C-H-A-N-S-C-O-T-T;” who dat? Anyway, it was a GR8 verse and now, it’s time fa Ganksta on tha 3rd verse wit her gangsta shit! My Rating: 4.5
EDIT: Tha cover says tha features are Murder Inc.’s Legend Man, III Deadly Sins & Face Forever. GR8 features, regardless!


07. Bumble Beez
LOL @ this title; what could dis be? >>> LOL, it’s a skit and tha beat sounds a lil’ like “bumble beez,” lol. Interestin’ singin’ at tha end too… My Rating: N/A


08. “I’ma Baller”
Let’s see what’s good… >>> Feelin’ tha G-Funk style for tha start. B-Lo’s on tha 1st verse, spittin’ some good, laidback-type shit on this shit. Ganksta, you’re doin’ ya thang on dis 1st verse too; glad you hopped on, G-Funk style! Tha hook’s pretty catchy fa tha undaground and tha 2nd verse has tha both of y’all alternatin’. I’m REALLY feelin’ tha drug-related lyrical content!! Oh, no 3rd verse, lol? Pretty long for a song and at 4:20ish, I like dat “drinkin’ on dat Hennessy” part; cool singin’ for tha ending! I also like tha “buku” part afta dat “Hennessy” quote too! My Rating: 4.4


09. “You Gotz It On Yo Mind”
I like dis title, ya feel me! >>> Sounds pretty good for a start; it’s all about havin’ it “on yo mind,” lol. Ganksta spittin’ good shit for tha streetz on tha 1st verse; buku people gotta relate ta dis! Now, B-Lo’s holdin’ tha 2nd verse down good wit tha gangsta shit to tha fullest!! Nothin’ but STR8 gangsta shit 24/7 when it comes ta dis content!! Glad you “from tha Rouge,” B-Lo, ya dig! It was cool talkin’ to you tha one time when I was on tha phone wit Young Hits; I didn’t expect dat… Tha ending wit all tha “wards” was good ta hear too! My Rating: 4.3


½time: Y’all collaborated GR8 for dis CD right chea!! Thumbs up and keep up tha gr8 work!! Tha average CD rating’s sittin’ at 4.4 right now!!


10. Stretched Out
A “t” iz missin’ from tha title and there’s no “t” in tha “Ackin’” title… This looks like it gon be a skit so let’s see what’s up wit it… >>> LOL, sounds good on tha “blunt break” shit here; y’all both feelin’ REAL GR8!! My Rating: N/A

All this shit iz pretty interestin’; a lot’s goin’ on… Tha 2nd verse keeps it goin’ on some good shit; glad y’all REALLY ‘bout dat good-ass smoke!!! Tha 3rd verse’s still keepin’ it goin’ strong once again! I thought a 4th verse was comin’ but it sounds like an endin’ wit buku people “gettin’ purved,” lol! My Rating: 4.1


12. “My Mom’s My Customer”
Oh, really? This must be pretty interestin’ ta hear!! >>> Cool beat intro here; back ta more ’96-soundin’ shit here… Also, Ganksta’s back on dis so good thing! Tha hook sounds pretty strong wit tha content and tha beat’s real nice ta hear on dis too!! Tha 1st verse from Ganksta’s pretty TIGHT wit tha HOT-ASS street shit goin’ on here!! It’s like a sandwich fulla HOT street shit!!! Tha 2nd verse iz B-Lo and tha shit’s pretty interestin’ when it comes ta recoverin’ tha “mom!” Real interestin’ topic right chea from tha both of y’all!! My Rating: 4.5


13. “Can You Feel Me”

Good shit comin’ from B-Lo on tha 1st verse right chea; you KNOW I’m enjoyin’ dis shit! Tha both of y’all are on tha 2nd verse and it sounds gr8 for a combo once again! Interestin’ shit goin’ on here for tha streetz at ALL times!! Tha 3rd verse has more good shit… Not really much ta say about it except dat it’s just gr8 rappin’… My Rating: 4.0


14. “Ganksta Comin’ Atcha”
Looks like a cool title; you KNOW I gon look forward ta dis! >>> Funky at its finest wit Ganksta in tha beginning! Nice job wit tha 1st verse and your cool-ass, Ganksta, although I like tha hook betta… Tha 2nd verse iz her too and it sounds like it’s keepin’ it G wit tha flow and content here! Nice job deliverin’ tha verse so let’s see what we got fa tha 3rd verse… Ooh, it’s a combo between tha both of y’all on dis verse! LOL @ tha “G-A-N-K-sta” part; sounded GR8 ta hear!! My Rating: 4.3


15. Fuk Him Up
Ooh, a lil’ gutta wit tha title here! What’ll happen on this skit? >>> I hear crickets in tha beginning… Sounded kinda quiet ‘til tha end; whoa!! My Rating: N/A


16. “Eye Of A Killa”
RAW title so you KNOW I gon look forward ta hearin’ dis one!! >>> Now dis iz some HOT shit!! Tha beat’s DEFINITELY gutta and tha hook’s pretty RAW wit tha title!! DEFINITELY a HOT topic ta rap about!!! Tha 1st verse has some pretty gutta shit on dis HOT-ASS beat right chea!!! Nice job from B-Lo holdin’ it down like CRAZY!!! Now, I hear Ganksta on tha 2nd ½ of tha 1st verse wit some pretty raw street-life-type shit!! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty gutta right chea! Just nothin’ but tha BEST when it comes ta undaground Louisiana Rap shit!! Luvin’ tha alternatin’ rappers here in tha 2nd verse; tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse’s raw as fuck!!! This iz interestin’ wit tha “I’ma neva say, ‘die’,” shit!” DEFINITELY tha BEST joint on dis CD right chea!!! Tha 3rd verse has two rappers and it’s HOT to tha fullest!! I like tha “hit tha weed” part in tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse; all y’all DEFINITELY doin’ tha damn thang consistently!!! My Rating: 4.9


17. “Tricks Only”
Wonder exactly what dis iz about… >>> Ehh @ tha 4:50 on tha length; tha beat start doesn’t sound like I wanna sit here for 4:50… Anyway, still off to an aight start wit tha hook. Yea, this iz kinda sour fa me… Nothin’ really ta say about tha 1st verse… Tha 2nd verse iz also for “them hoes” but I rather this sound betta ‘cause tha sound iz just boring fa me… Tha 3rd verse doesn’t have much fa me either… Where’s Ganksta? Oh yea, this iz for “tricks only,” so I guess a gurl ain’t gon rap… My Rating: 2.7


18. “Outro”
Tha last joint, which no less iz tha “outro!” How will it turn out ta be? >>> Oh, I thought it was a song based off its length; it’s not. Anotha relaxin’ beat though… I’m glad y’all talkin’ too on dis shit. Glad y’all also “smokin’ a big, fat blunt right now” too!! Ooh, I heard a “hah bruh” on dis too for tha ’96! Good shit! My Rating: N/A


Overall: GR8 combination of y’all reppin’ BR & NO!! Good job and keep doin’ tha damn thang wit dis HOT-ASS undaground Louisiana Rap music!!
