Review #539: Sircle Of Sin "Sircle Of Sin"

Reviewed on 6.17.2010 (Review #539)




Comin’ up next in my marathon iz Sircle Of Sin “Sircle Of Sin”; lemme see what dis iz about! Start Time: 9:02 PM | End Time: 10:03 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.

01. Intro (Reality)
There’s a title for tha “intro” but only 39 seconds on tha length so let’s see what y’all gon be talkin’ about. >>> Tha beat start ta dis “intro” sounds pretty gutta on a slow tip. Interestin’ lil’ fact about tha album title! My Rating: N/A


02. “Dead On Arrival”
Gutta title so let’s see how it plays out fa 5:48 on tha length! >>> VERY G-Funky wit tha start here! From tha beat to tha lady in tha background of tha beginning, this iz DEFINITELY on a G-Funk tip; hope it’s not depressin’ or anything… Okay, I hear tha 1st verse and it sounds like it’s REAL GOOD wit tha gutta attitude in tha lyrics!! Somewhat depressin’ wit tha struggle but tha way tha vocals are delivered iz what’s up! Tha hook’s pretty good for tha smooth style wit tha way tha lady sings it… Tha 2nd verse iz kinda a lil’ personal wit tha way it sounds; I dunno how much I should comment it… Tha 3rd verse’s also on a personal tip; I dunno about tha startin’ song bein’ a lil’ depressin’… Tha 4th verse iz personal too but tha rhymes sound much more catchy wit tha level of lyrical development. My Rating: 3.5


03. “Hard Tymes”
A title dat goes wit tha last song… >>> Same style wit tha G-Funk start here… Interestin’ 1st verse once again… “Age 8: Cut outta school. Age 11: Started hustlin’. Age 13: Smoked weed;” interestin’ facts even though they’re really gutta… Tha rhymes are like A+ wit tha lyrics but I dunno how much I like them as far as a song… Tha hook sounds betta than tha last joint a lil’ bit, especially when it flows wit tha beat. Tha 2nd verse ain’t bad…; good contribution when it comes to tha rappin’! Tha 3rd verse’s a lil’ on a struggle tip… I don’t really have a say on it. My Rating: 3.5


04. “Graveyard Callin’”
I like tha title but for 5:44, will I be able ta handle it? >>> Sounds like “My Body’s Callin’” song or whateva it iz from tha 90’s on tha hook… Catchy wit tha content and tha 1st verse sounds pretty gutta; I think I’m likin’ dis! Tha content’s DEFINITELY A+ in tha lyrics once again so it’s a DEFINITE plus ta hear!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like I have ta get used to tha verse… It’s a gr8 verse when it comes ta tha lyrics though. Tha 3rd verse iz good but at this point, I feel like just offerin’ lyrical ratings. Kinda long ta have a 1:25 outro… Lyrical Rating: 4.8 | My Rating: 4.0


05. “Badge Of Courage”
I dunno about this title… >>> Beat’s a lil’ too cheesy for me for a start. Sounds like my gutta-ass dude on tha 1st verse here; I’m likin’ how he deliverin’ this shit!! I wish all y’all would sound like him!! Tha hook ain’t too bad…; it’s real… Real shit! Tha 2nd verse iz a lil’ betta than usual on here… Tha 3rd verse iz aight but tha content’s makin’ it a lil’ betta… Lyrical Rating: 4.6 | My Rating: 3.8


½time: This CD’s NICE & LYRICAL but it needs ta be catchier… Tha average CD rating’s only at 3.7… Tha content’s incredible but once again, we need more dudes like tha one dude I keep givin’ props to!!


06. “Trapped In Tha Storm”
A GR8 title so let’s see… >>> This iz different: A beat intro dat’s 57 seconds long. Very serious on tha sound here and 6:22 on tha length ain’t frontin’ either! I like tha rain and this iz extremely on a lyrical tip!! Thumbs up to all tha lively rhymes!! There’s no hook (kinda—it’s just a beat) and now, it’s tha 2nd verse… More real-life shit on an aight level fa me. Tha 3rd verse sounds really intense wit tha “floods of blood!!” I felt his verse right chea; y’all did a nice job wit dis joint!! I think this iz some of tha most lyrical shit I’ve eva heard!! There’s a 4th verse here and it’s contributin’ good ta dis… Lyrical Rating: 4.9 | My Rating: 4.4


07. “No Fear”
>>> Good G-Funk style once again but let’s see how I handle it. Tha 1st verse sounds good; dat voice sounds like I can luv it!! Tha hook’s good; I like tha attitude of “not bein’ scared!” Tha 2nd verse sounds like it’s pretty lyrical in a pretty good way! Tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ pretty good; I think we’re gettin’ betta wit tha jointz here! There’s a 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse here and I like tha “blood from my opponents” part; VERY good!!! Lyrical Rating: 4.7 | My Rating: 4.2


08. “Poverty Stricken”
I can feel tha pain BUT no one can feel what I went through (and am still goin’ through) wit socializin’!! >>> Sounds pretty sad for tha beat start here… Tha 1st verse’s only listenable for me; dat’s it. Tha hook’s pretty sad too… But, at least y’all had “friends” prolly… Tha 2nd verse’s pretty awful (wit what’s goin’ on; not tha content) wit tha “no milk, no cereal” part; pretty sad… GR8 “Monopoly” part! Tha 3rd verse’s keepin’ it goin’ wit some pretty good shit; very “povertful,” sadly. “Gasoline on my nuts. No matter how much I struggle…” You want me ta help y’all out wit dis music shit? I would luv to ta help y’all out to tha fullest!! Lyrical Rating: 4.8 | My Rating: 3.9


09. “Hittin’ Lickz”
Interestin’ title! I might really like dis? Let’s see how it sounds. >>> LOL, no intro, yet, a gr8 intro! Tha 1st verse iz here and those keys in tha beat are really gettin’ to me in a GR8 way! REAL GUTTA right here!! Tha gutta-ass, gangsta-ass lyrics in tha 1st verse’s REALLY what’s up too!! Tha 2nd verse sounds GR8 wit all this “hittin’ lickz” start and tha CRAZY-ASS rappin’!!! Ooh, I didn’t realize there was gonna be a 3rd verse fa a second and it’s EXTREMELY deliverin’ tha lyrical content!!! STR8 GANGSTA shit here!!! Lyrical Rating: 4.9 | My Rating: 4.6


10. “My Brotha’z Keepa”
Let’s see how this’ll sound fa almost six minutes… >>> Ooh, for your “boyz;” feelin’ anticipated right here fa tha start… I’m likin’ tha beat tempo too wit how certain sounds kick… Tha 1st verse’s pretty personal wit luvin’ certain people mixed wit tha gangsta shit goin’ on. Pretty gutta from tha heart here! Tha 2nd verse sounds like sufferin’ and havin’ ta “drink” tha pain away… Shit, yea, tha 3rd verse sounds like it’s my boy!! REAL, REAL GUTTA SHIT HERE!!!!! PLEASE RAP 4EVA!!!!! A++!!! Dat voice DESERVES ta go a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way!!!!!!!!! There’s even a 4th verse and it sounds pretty gutta; CONSISTENT shit wit tha content and lyrics!!! Lyrical Rating: 4.8 | My Rating: 4.3


11. “Redemption”
Final song… >>> A sad intro. Tha 1st verse sounds pretty good; I’m likin’ how tha GR8 lyrics are bein’ delivered on a gutta undaground beat like dis! Tha hook’s pretty smooth but yet, again, it’s sad… Tha 2nd verse sounds pretty gutta; I like tha “B-I-B-L-E” spellin’! Tha 3rd verse’s keepin’ it real wit all tha lyrics… Lyrical Rating: 4.6 | My Rating: 3.7


Overall: Even though just a good CD fa me, it prolly was tha MOST LYRICAL CD I’VE EVA HEARD… Nice job wit tha A+ lyrics on every song… Keep up tha gr8 work and holla at me!
