Review #535: Partners-N-Crime Presents The Drama Squad "Chapter One"

Reviewed on 6.16.2010 (Review #535)




Keepin’ my motivation up, I gotta do my 9TH REVIEW for today, lol!! I neva did nine reviewz in a day before so I wanna make sure I do nine, lol!! This next review iz Partners-N-Crime Presents The Drama Squad “Chapter One and there’s a REALLY special thing about this review… I don’t have an exact date/time on hand but in Fall 2008, I googled tha front cover of this CD and **DISCOVERED** tha Louisiana Rap blog, which currently disbanded!! This CD and tha front cover made me start this marathon so MEGA THUMBS UP!!! ROFL, at first, I was “OMG”in’ @ 142 CDs. Now, it jumped up ta 700+, LOL!!! I’m a $$$ BIG TIME GRINDER!!!!! $$$ Start Time: 11:58 PM | End Time: 1:01 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. The Drama Squad “Close Shop (Intro)”
I like tha “intro” name; let’s see what it sounds like! >>> Pretty undaground, 90’s style here for tha beat! I like tha whisperin’ in tha background about tha “bitches” and this sounds good wit tha “makin’ paper” advice/perspective you have! Pretty gutta wit tha “suck my dick and eat my muthafuckin’ nuts” part! My Rating: N/A


02. P-N-C “Don’t Get Conftable (Ya Bitch You)”
Interestin’ title; lookin’ forward ta hearin’ tha attitude and err-thang!! I like tha different soundin’ Bounce sound (“din-din-din-din”) in tha beat! Tha hook sounds good… Pretty catchy for a start and now, let’s see what’s up wit tha 1st verse… Pretty catchy wit tha flow; not bad of a start… Iz this a diss song ta U.N.L.V. since PNC’s behind dis? Very interestin’… Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ it goin’ here fa tha U.N.L.V. shit; keep it goin’… Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty raw and gangsta from tha “baby” part to tha “trigga” shit too! My Rating: 4.3


03. Black Menace “They Say It’s All Good”
Let’s see if this can continue tha shit goin’ on from tha last song… >>> Ooh, Mista Meana in tha beginning here, speakin’ on some shit… Tha beat sounds pretty street-styled here and tha 1st verse’s soundin’ good wit tha content! Tha hook’s really gutta wit tha future-prediction; gutta shit here!! Tha 2nd verse’s keepin’ tha hot lyrical shit comin’ along here!! Tha 3rd verse’s pretty good wit more of dat good street shit! My Rating: 4.4


04. Tre-8 “Pop ‘Em Up”
This should be REALLY GOOD ‘cause I fux wit Tre-8 to tha max!!! >>> Interestin’ lil’ intro… LOL, tha beat sounds like it’ll be Bounce wit tha way it sounds anticipatin’!! LOL, tha hook’s tight here; feelin’ dis!! Tha 1st verse’s REAL, REAL GOOD wit tha flow and tha GR8-ASS lyrical lyrics for tha streetz!!! Tha 2nd verse’s REALLY doin’ tha damn thang here too; VERY GOOD collaboration!!! Tha 3rd verse’s REAL GOOD also!!! Tre-8’s just REALLY helpin’ y’all out to tha fullest!!! Gutta-ass street shit!!! My Rating: 4.8


05. Agony A.D. Feat. Big Chief, Mr. Smooth & Taffy “Holla At Me”
LOL, 7:39 on tha length? What iz this? >>> Looks like it gon be a phone call in tha beginning… Good intro; feelin’ it. LOL @ tha voice @ :53 wit “holla at a nigga;” came outta nowhere! Tha beat’s nice and G-Funkish a lil’ bit and tha hook’s cool fa it only bein’ tha title. Tha 1st verse sounds good and focused to tha fullest!! I really like how y’all sound and come through on these tracks; DEFINITELY some GR8-ASS undaground shit!!! LOL, who iz dis female on tha 2nd verse? Pretty good lil’ check-in from her… Damn, her part wasn’t long as it switched back ta y’all. Y’all spittin’ some pretty good shit once again fa dis verse! LOL, she came back and talked some more thangz… LOL, what’s tha thang reversed @ 3:40? Why was it reversed? *Unreverses it* LOL, “Johnny Blaze?” Who dat? Anyway, tha gurl’s on tha 3rd verse here and she’s sayin’, “eat my clit,” lol? How random! Tha 5th verse’s pretty good wit tha way tha voice sounds ta deliver dis shit; “225!” I like tha last hook as there’s added shit in tha background (e.g., “roll tha weed”); good shit! My Rating: 4.3


06. Dejon! “Say, Say, Say”
How good iz dis joint? >>> Interestin’ intro again but tha “body-ah” shit in tha beginning sounds like a sample? Tha 1st verse’s good… Not bad of a joint here and tha hook sounds catchy wit tha singin’. Tha 2nd verse has not bad rhymes in it also… Pretty catchy for a lil’ song here… Tha 3rd verse has good lyrics fa tha topic of “a world of pleasure.” A lil’ bit of a quick bridge too? A lotta shit tryna squeeze in dis 5:00, lol! My Rating: 3.7


07. Dejon! Feat. P-N-C “If It Don’t Go Right”
Let’s see what dis iz about since it’s anotha Dejon! song… >>> Anotha short, good intro and this iz off to a straight start. Tha 1st verse sounds gr8 wit tha content; doin’ it up here wit tha “sneakin’ like a snake” shit! Tha hook’s cool wit tha way it sounds and tha perspectives that’s bein’ rapped here in tha rhymes!

14. The Drama Squad “The Information”
Will this be an outro or a track? >>> LOL, I like tha effect in tha background of tha way tha voice sounds; sounds like he’s speakin’ outta a straw or somethin’, ROFL!! Soundin’ like an outro here and it’s good fa somethin’ wit no beat! I would “luv ta call tha ma’fuckin’ numba on tha tape” but unfortunately, it’s 14 years later… I would’ve if I was my age in ’96 and knew about this… Good outro too wit tha last words, “are you ready?” My Rating: N/A
