Reviewed on 6.15.2010 (Review #520)




Keepin’ tha hot shit comin’, tha next review for today iz Ghetto Twiinz “Surrounded By Criminals”! Lookin’ good on tha title right chea!! Start Time: 12:15 PM | End Time: 12:56 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.

01. Surrounded (Intro)
Let’s see what tha intro be like… >>> Sounds like dis gon be anotha gangsta-ass CD!! “Mystikal, G-Slimm, Black Menace, Partners-N-Crime” and others were brought to us by this label? Shit, yea!! I like tha “1,996” lil’ part ta describe tha year in a numba, lol! I hear a lil’ bit of talkin’ at tha end too; good shit! Lookin’ forward ta hearin’ dis!! My Rating: N/A


02. “Sho No Luv”
Looks like it’ll be to tha point; lemme hear. >>> Kinda on tha Soulish type for a start here? Ooh, tha gurl rappin’ in tha 1st verse sounds HOT here! I like how dis beat’s like a Mystikal beat!! I wonder if he gon be on dis CD… Tha hook’s cool; really gutta here wit how tha vocals are delivered on these rhymes!! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty gutta too…; holdin’ it down to tha fullest!! Tha 3rd verse has a good, gangsta-ass sound!! REAL catchy wit tha “corna/wanna” part near tha 3:00 mark!!! This gurl’s REAL consistent here!!! My Rating: 4.5


03. “Let’s Get This Shit STR-8” Feat. G-Slimm
Looks GR8 on tha collab and title!! “Let’s” see what we got fa this joint!! >>> GR8 start here; more on tha Mystikal soundin’ wit tha beats!! Tha hook sounds hot wit tha title and tha nearly-soundin’ Mystikal dude!! MO GR8 sounds on tha 1st verse here; more hot shit comin’ from tha Twiinz!! Tha 2nd verse iz “tha Twiinz hittin’ ‘em like a storm;” good shit! Dat boy Slimm’s on tha 3rd verse and he doin’ a nice job wit what he spittin’! My Rating: 4.4


04. “So Hard To Say Goodbye”
Let’s see what this iz about… >>> A lil’ slower here and just okay for a start. I’m likin’ tha way you flow at tha end of each line though… Tha hook’s not tha best fa me; it’s different dat a male hopped onta this (non-feature). Tha 2nd verse has some good hood shit goin’ on… My Rating: 3.4


05. “Got It On My Mind”
I wonder what this’ll sound like too… >>> Yes, a lil’ betta here! Wow, tha hook’s DEFINITELY energetic here; feelin’ tha REAL New Orleans-type beat!!! Tha 1st verse’s REALLY goin’ off here!!! LOL!! So much shit’s bein’ spit from hood shit ta weed shit ta err-thang fa tha streetz here!!! LOL, VERY consistent fa only one verse!!! I like tha cold ending fa dis too! My Rating: 4.6


06. “Mamma’s Hurtin’”
I dunno if I’ll feel dis one. >>> Kinda slow start but pretty cool instrument. I’m feelin’ tha lyrics here about what people are doin’ in tha hood… Sounds like you were influenced by Tupac here based off tha way you deliver some of tha rhymes and how you sound. Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it hood too… Pretty good, overall. My Rating: 3.8


½time: Pretty good CD fa some females holdin’ it down! Tha average CD rating’s at 4.1 right now; keep up tha jamz!


07. “Die Nigga, Die”
Looks pretty personal on tha title! Let’s see how strong you express dis song! >>> Tha beat’s cool and it starts off wit tha hook. I see you comin’ through wit somethin’ strong here… Tha 1st verse’s keepin’ it real wit what you spittin’, ya dig. Tha 2nd verse has more, personal/strong shit. You also sound a lil’ like Mystikal for a second right before tha 3:00 mark comes; good shit! My Rating: 3.7


08. “I’ma Do U N”
I wonder what dis iz? >>> Not bad for a start on tha beat but you comin’ through REAL RAW wit an attitude for tha 1st verse!!! Tha hook sounds pretty good too; enough ta sound catchy… Tha 2nd verse sounds good too… Not as good as tha 1st verse but still, it’s a GR8 joint! My Rating: 4.3


09. Lil’ Shorty (Commercial)
What’s this “commercial?” >>> Shit, yea, luvin’ how dis dude says, “bruh,” so many times; shit! Pretty interestin’ and catchy ta make me prepare fa tha next joint!! NICE job wit tha “commercial” here! My Rating: N/A


10. “Four Treats In One”
It’s like killin’ “four” birds wit “one” stone, lol!! >>> Pretty good soundin’ for tha start here; feelin’ tha beat!! You spittin’ some more gangsta shit for tha 1st verse here; really holdin’ it down fa err-body in tha hood!! Male or female, you doin’ ya thang fa ‘em all!! Tha hook sounds cool too… You got tha catchy flow ta do ya thang on! Tha 2nd verse’s holdin’ it down too! You luv tha hoodz! My Rating: 4.1


11. “I Ain’t Dyin’, I Ain’t Lyin’”
Looks like it gon be anotha raw joint! >>> Yea, you DEFINITELY have tha vocals ta deliver dis shit!! Damn, it’s REALLY gettin’ grimy on tha 1st verse at ‘round tha 1:13ish mark! Pretty gutta from you wit how you deliverin’ this shit fa tha streetz!! Your “nigga, nigga, nigga” ad-libs are pretty raw; nothin’ but RAWNESS comin’ from you!!! Pretty catchy for tha hook too… This joint’s nice and raw wit your content and how you deliver it!! LOL, what’s up wit tha last 80+ seconds? Just a beat outro? My Rating: 4.0


12. “Mamma’s Hurtin’ (Radio Version)”
LOL @ this; thanx. See #6 fa tha review!


13. “Die Nigga, Die (Slowed Down H-Town Style)”
LOL, a screwed and chopped for tha 1st time in my marathon? >>> LOL, sounds TIGHT! Just REALLY gutta here!! It makes me like it SO much more; ROFL @ tha Mystikal part now ‘round 3:33!! Just TOO GR8 when it sounds like dis!! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: For a female (or females?), this was DEFINITELY somethin’ REAL NICE outta tha undaground of New Orleans right chea!! Keep up tha gr8 work fa tha ladies, yourself and tha dudes!!!
